I got an email today from Infogrames about their new game "Enter the Matrix". Take a look at the link and tell me if that's not either Vicky or Steph with Anton's cool hair? Warning to those with slow connections, the page may take awhile to load.

They might look similar but I doubt they used the same meshes.. 3D for gaming's quite another animal where every triangle counts, so they probably did it from scratch.

I don't believe that's Vicky or Steph. I believe it's the in-game custom mesh. If you study the fingers carefully, you'll notice that they're not as refined like they are on the Daz meshes. The hands have a sorta low poly look to them. Take a gander at the game trailer. You'll see that same Niobe mesh in action. Most game development companies tend to use their own custom meshes in their promotional materials, whether it's a high poly "cinematic" mesh version or a lower poly in-game mesh version. There's no legal entanglements and it promotes the quality of the graphics used in the game. It wouldn't look too promising if a game company couldn't rely on their own art and animation staff to provide promotional graphics and had to resort to some 3rd party's meshes. Nuke

Poser models would be too heavy poly for a game and like the others above said, they would not risk any legal hassles over something like that and just make their own. Also, that character on the game is the same one that is in the Matrix movie and she has the same exact hairstyle.

I guess that makes sense. Ah well, it was the cool coils that did it to me. Guess I've been at Poser too long. I'm seeing it everywhere :)
