A new Artstation post features Lilith Diablo 4 Real-Time asset created by Jamir Blanco, a Creature and Character Modeler at Blizzard Entertainment.
Currently, the project is under development. The screenshots are taken from the Diablo 4 cinematics directly from the game engine.
Jamir has been responsible for modeling, texturing, and look development even though he mentions in his posts that the work is a huge team effort.
We are impressed with these images and the fact that they are screenshots of a cinematic of Diablo IV using real-time assets just makes the hype for this game even higher.
Remember to check the original Artstation post to see the high-resolution images. You should also check Jamir Blanco’s Instagram, where he publishes a lot of interesting content.
We have an interesting article about a Diablo IV fan art, check it out.
About Diablo IV
Excitement is building for the release of Blizzard Entertainment’s upcoming game Diablo IV. The popular action-RPG franchise has had players defeating demons and exploring dungeons for years, and it looks like this time will be no different.
This time we’ll have three character classes to choose from – Barbarians, Sorceresses, and Druids – as well as two fan-favorite villains, Lilith and Mephisto.
Most importantly, Blizzard promises fans a vast world ready to explore, filled with interactive characters, missions, and quests that make this era in the franchise’s history more rewarding than before. We can’t wait to get our hands on Diablo IV!
In-game vs. Pre-rendered cinematics
Technology in gaming has come a long way in the last decade and nowhere is that more obvious than in the realm of cinematics. In-game cinematics have always been around, but they haven’t been as impressive to look at – until recently.
With games like Blizzard Entertainment’s Overwatch, technology has made it possible for players to experience stunningly beautiful in-game cutscenes without sacrificing time or quality. That being said, pre-rendered cinematics can still offer a high level of detail and artistry, albeit at a higher cost for developers.
Ultimately, it really comes down to personal preference and the specific needs of the game–although consequently we’ve seen more studios opting for in game technology lately due to its economic advantage.
