Jaina got a new model

We feel now is a very good time to get Jaina an update since her and Sylvanas will play key roles in the five-player Icecrown Citadel dungeon. That isn't to say other heroes will not receive similar treatment in the future. ;)

Q u o t e:
Erm...

That looks almost exactly the same as the current model. Why couldn't they have made her a bit prettier...?

The goal wasn't to fundamentally change her appearance, but instead to give the model a more unique look compared to other humans and much greater texture resolution. If you put the current model up next to the new model you'd see the difference with ease.

Q u o t e:


Did you guys up her polygons too?

Yes.

Q u o t e:
Also, can the humans and other old races look forward to their own model improvements in the future?

It's something we'd love to do, but is subject to the time budgeted for art development. Our artists are very busy at the moment working on a number of projects for the future of World of Warcraft. I don't have any additional information on this to share at present.

Q u o t e:
do a side by side pic for us mr. flaming skull man? :)

I actually have one, but would be destroyed if I gave it out. Releasing any type of artwork requires the approval of many different folks from different departments. We want to make sure things are displayed in very particular ways. ;)
