And that's not even counting subdivision -- the rendering engine calculated over 6 million poly's at render time.  Okay, so I'm not much of a low-poly kind of guy... :D

Very nice work. :)

Maybe you should do a new title screen for WZ that we could include?

Thanks, folks!  Glad ya liked it.
If the dev's actually want to use this image to promote WRP, I'd be flattered. (I can re-crank it to another size or format, of course.)

As for a new splash screen, that sounds like a lot of work... and also a lot of fun... durn, ya got me thinking now...

Damn dude, that's not half bad ;D

You should do half-tracks on that, and replace the mortar with some rotary howitzers :)

Oh, and HAI GUISE? REMEMBER ME? :o

looks awesome!

If it'n not to much trouble, could you please do a 2048*1536 render and send it to me to be used as wallpaper?

* It is a kwel excercise in unlimited resources but you'll sooner see a version of Frazetta's Conan as a unusually muscular Baba  rampaging across the WZ landscape than you will this model in-game in the WRP.

* Cathuria, please don't take this the wrong way 'cause I genuinely like your work & your sense of humor is ultra kwel... :D

* But unless your gonna focus on poly counts well under 500 (along with ingenious texturing) your just basically creating WZ wallpapers & if your happy with that then it's all good. But if you want your models in-game anytime in the foreseeble future, take my advice.

- Regards, RV :)

i think it's quite obvious that cathuria made that model just as concept art for the project... (hence the wz2100 logo, company trademark, personal copyright, and backdrop... as opposed to a screenshot of some wireframe render).
