Overview: The visual fidelity possible with next-generation platforms begs for more realistic and detailed character models. This session discusses the character pipeline used at Epic Games to create the stunning models seen in the upcoming Xbox 360 title, GEARS OF WAR. The speakers start with an idea, and take it from concept art, to an extremely high-poly character mesh, to the final in-game asset.

From the mechanical parts to the organic bits, the demonstration shares techniques used at Epic Games to achieve visually amazing results.
