He worked on Puppeeter? The game has fantastic art, it is amazing.

BTW, artits? Freudian slip or something? hahaha

BadWolf · Feb 9, 2015

That's one heck of a job title.

nib95 · Feb 9, 2015

Give War A Chance · Feb 9, 2015

Great title. I'm much more interesting in the art of Uncharted 4 now, for some strange reason.

The Artisan · Feb 9, 2015

I wonder what we will get at e3.

tbh, I wouldn't even mind if they gave us the exact same demo, but with updated graphics. that alone should spur the excitement.

Maybe OP doesn't like his work and wants to imply that "all his character are tits"

Real-time rendered in game. This is not CGI or pre-render, which means all the shading features for skin, hair, eyes need to be written in code.

Using Disney Diffuse model, GGX Brdf model and Screen Space Subsurface.

Hair is using Kajiaya-kay Brdf model.

Frank Tzeng did the sculpting and texturing for his face and arms.

ehh can't tell if you're serious or not. I remember his Heisenberg 3D model a while back on CGHub, incredible piece.

Artists do art they arent paid for

I was being serious. I'd rather as little about the game be revealed as possible aside from how amazing the graphics will be, and I'd be fine with it in the exact same demo

it's really good.

Jigolo · Feb 9, 2015

ND's detail on everything is insane. I've never seen a game go into this much detail in muscle.

Those shots were shown at PSX - there was no up or downgrade involved.

Both of their work is stunning. The amount of detail ND puts into their work is insane!

Every single one of those screens in the artist's page has been out for months.

Nah. I'm just tired as heck. Funny typo, though.

Probably the second AAA game Naughty Dog is working on. They already have a smaller team working on another game.

Agreed, and wow looking through the gallery for them.

That Breaking Bad one is amazing too.

okay but the actual demo to me did not look nearly as good as the teaser. So I'm under the impression that whatever we saw there was pre alpha footage and everything when said and done will look much closer to the teaser.

Because the shots are most likely realtime cutscenes. And unless they say "screw 60fps" and abandon that completely, no it won't.

Did they say there would be different LoDs? That will probably be how they look when you zoom in as close as possible in game.

This is super impressive to me. Muscles flexing, veins popping, skin wrinkling. This is the stuff I have always wanted to see.

I thought cutscenes in realtime meant the in-game character models (and everything else in-game for that matter) would look as good as they do in the cutscenes

They may use the same model (LOD0), but I'm pretty sure the cutscenes will use better shaders.

Now I want a Breaking Bad game.

FantasticMrFoxdie · Feb 9, 2015

Holy shit a Breaking Bad game would be a megaton.

Anarion07 · Feb 9, 2015

Damn that detail. I can't wait.
Insane what they did with the muscles

we'll see. they're seamless transitions now instead of cutting to black so i'm inclined to believe the in-game cutscenes will be just as good as the gameplay.

in previous uncharted games, everything in the gameplay looked just as good as the prerendered cutscenes minus the character models - they visibly had more detail on the faces but everything else was spot on.

EA's UFC game for the current consoles had a similarly ridiculous amount of detail put into the skin and underlying musculature. It's ridiculous what can be done in real time now.
