Brusi Re: Spawn Tube Creation with artist Patrick Ho awesome vid...



I assume he uses a wacom or something for the original line work? He works with an unbelievable number of layers, lol!

Raymac Re: Spawn Tube Creation with artist Patrick Ho 2 days on designing the concept art for a spawn tube...yeah they are putting alot of love into this game, and Grandma taught me that love always makes it taste alot better. These are exciting times. For years I've been dreaming and longing for Planetside 2 and it's happening before our eyes. Literally in this case.

Accuser Re: Spawn Tube Creation with artist Patrick Ho I don't usually jump into wild speculation, but I'm thinking that cool sparkly shield might help prevent spawncamping...

Marsgrim Re: Spawn Tube Creation with artist Patrick Ho Looks awesome, am I right in saying the Teal colour would be for the VS - with Red for TR and Yellow for NC?



Have to say that it gives some appreciation into the time taken for development and it looks like he's very professional and also loves his job.

basti Re: Spawn Tube Creation with artist Patrick Ho Damn, that is quite some heavy art work done there, and thats just for the concept.



Would like to see the modeling as well as texturing process as well.
