Rift - Volan (unarmored)by ~haikai13

Designs & Interfaces / Game Development Art / 3D Game Art / Characters, Animals & Monsters

Volan: the absolute biggest terror in all of Rift. Concept by Herman Ng. This is also the most complex model I've ever had to build. The players are literally the size of his toes. He's got destructible parts, transformation, and a lot of other unique elements.

Maya, Zbrush, 3dCoat, Bodypaint, Xnormal, Photoshop, etc. Real time renders in Marmoset Toolbag.

Beautiful work! How long did it usually take you to create each character model for Rift?

~haikai13 Feb 3, 2013

Thanks! Depending on the complexity of the task, it can take anywhere from a day or two to over a month. The variant models are often quick and "easy," but Volan, for example, was a gargantuan task!

~saigfish Feb 3, 2013 Student Digital Artist

Over a month, that's intense! I'm surprised that you even get that much time to work on a single piece within a game pipeline.

Haha, trust me, on Rift that was a major exception. Volan was probably the most detailed and complex character in Rift up until that point. Typically, a new character model takes less than two weeks.
