In this initial concept exploration, you can see me playing with the idea of a Greek Hoplite-inspired look and incorporating a helmet that doesn’t obscure her features. Despite being a big fan of Eldar Farseer helmet designs (and having modelled more than a few myself), the story we want to tell in Dawn of War III requires us to see her face. We’ll touch more on this further down! An early 2D exploration One of the biggest changes for Macha was the removal of her helmet. Explore events where and when they happened in an interactive 3D map space.ĭetail and subtlety are difficult to convey in the gameplay camera view, so overworking the concept in the 2D stage doesn’t guarantee it’ll translate seamlessly to 3D. If eventually somebody wants to use the stl files (or whatever CAD model) and still they're too high poly for a videogame, I've found this page. Thingiverse Warhammer 40k models - posted in Warhammer40k: Dawn Of War: Ive found a page where people make models in stl format to be 3D printed. Quick digital sketches are great because they tell us right away if the general shapes and vibe are going to work at a distance while still capturing the essence of the character. For Dawn of War III, we wanted to reflect that change and portray her not only as a capable warrior and commander, but as someone who can shape the destiny of her species.ĢD Concept One of the central pillars the art team follows is to design for gameplay first. The events of Dawn of War challenged a lot of Macha’s perceptions, maturing her into a more thoughtful and objective leader. Not only has Eldar design evolved since 2004, but the character herself has grown.
Take it away, Matt! Macha's in-game model, Dawn of War (2004) We last saw Farseer Macha over ten years ago, in the first Dawn of War. Art Director Matt Kuzminski walks us through the process of redesigning Macha from the ground up.
