Since our last update, we’ve released a variety of changes to Warcraft III: Reforged with our 1.32.6 PTR and patch.
Greetings Warcraft III: Reforged players! The Warcraft III developer team posted an update on Ranked Play, the highest-priority feature that is currently in development for the game. Illidan Stormrage’s classic fel tattoos are more elaborate channels for demonic power, and his model’s been retooled with all the musculature he’ll need to support future wings and horns. They wield demonically-charged warblades in battle, call upon fel energies to augment their formidable combat skills, and now have a chance to appear in either male or female variations during multiplayer matches. Wisps bend branch and root into Ancients, and many night elf units, like the Dryad, literally bridge the divide between forest fauna and elf.ĭemon Hunters are dark, shadowy warriors who are shunned by the greater Night Elf society. While redesigning the Night Elf units, the artists really captured the essence of the Night Elves: that nature is a constant in their theme and function. They barely managed to banish the demons of the Burning Legion from the world, but their wondrous homeland was shattered, and the Night Elves went into hiding from the rest of the world atop their holy mountain, Hyjal. The Night Elves were the first race to study magic and let it loose throughout the world nearly ten thousand years ago. Across this article series, we go behind the scenes with the art team to discover the secrets of each reforged race-beginning with the ancient, reclusive Night Elves. In Warcraft III: Reforged, orcs, humans, night elves, and the undead have been brought to life in higher fidelity than ever before. Over 700, in fact.Īll that work paid off. Every new model goes through the full process, whether it’s Prince Arthas or a humble cactus. Then it’s on to the animation phase, where the movement of fabrics and body parts is polished for realism and personality. Each model goes through several rounds of exacting polish.
The art team reviews each model from every angle, evaluating scale, color, readability, and silhouette.
When the finer (spear)points have been agreed upon, a 3D model is constructed. The art team chooses their favorite parts from each concept: the pose from A, the eyebrows from B… the shoulder-spikes from C, the toe-structure from D… Fueled by this research, they create several concepts for review by the entire art team. First, concept artists scour real-world history, World of Warcraft visuals, and original Warcraft III concept art for inspiration. An avalanche of work goes into reforging even a single Warcraft III model.
