Wey WongArtstationBattle for Azeroth Cinematic Trailer

This is my Anduin and Shalamayne sword surfacing works for the World of Warcraft Cinematics.
I was the show lead on these projects and my works on this character was texture painting and look development on this character with realistic skin and armor textures, materials and shaders.
All the textures was done in Mari and Photoshop, the materials and render was in Renderman.

Comment by DanderfluffRemovedComment by ZygosAnduin is possibly one of the best things about the recent cinematics, especially since BFA. He's the most convincing "human" that they've modeled in CGI for those cinematics, nailing his facial expressions. And while BFA may have been crap, overall, that first BFA cinematic where Anduin calls down the light... particularly that scene, is just amazing.Comment by Gillik9486Absolutely amazing! Anduin is the best thing that happened to the Alliance.Comment by MelilithiaAn amazing model / work of art.Comment by ObsidianSheepI thought i was funny. Of course, my brain also read the title of the article as, "Art Blast: Anduin Wrynn by Senior Surfacing Artist way wrong"....so I clicked on it. My brain jebaited me. :(Comment by ThaDuderMaaattt DaaaaamonComment by PaulnutzRemovedComment by TrumpcatAnduin's CGI model is stunning, the voice act is sublime and the question remains why wasn't there anyone to spend a couple more hours on his in game model?
At least fix his nose. And torso-legs proportion.
Actually they should get someone from the Heroes design team, they did a far better job on Anduin.Comment by KelrasAnduin's CGI model is stunning, the voice act is sublime and the question remains why wasn't there anyone to spend a couple more hours on his in game model?

I wish the SL ones had been done the same way. The detail is astounding and nothing is left out.Comment by Froschlampiget your nose didComment by KakistocratI really like Anduin's looks in the cinematic. They should make his in game model more like this instead of the... well, not so nice looking one.Comment by Mariaelena77Anduin's CGI model is stunning, the voice act is sublime and the question remains why wasn't there anyone to spend a couple more hours on his in game model?

I, too, would like to see more done w/his in-game character as far as uniformity goes. Getting tired of playing "which nose is it this time?" when it comes to him and yet he has it much better in game than a few other characters. I can't express enough how much Kalecgos NEEDS an in-game makeover of his human form. Every time I see poor Kalec it makes me think that they plucked his model out of the original Everquest. We need to start a petition. I think if we title it "Fix Anduin's nose" & in the fine print add a complete rework on Kalec, it just might work.Comment by CharlayneOh wow, thank you guys for putting up those videos. I've been fascinated with acting and voice acting for more years than most of you have been alive. I did some stage work in high school, did a stint as an extra in a movie all those years ago. Watching how far animation has come from the Disney era to how these game vids are produced is amazing.

I'm also an Anduin fan, and a player since BC, so this really brings my game to even more life than I thought was possible.
