| The Chronicles of Spellborn: Developer Diary @ MMORPG.com |

Michael Perdieus, Lead Animator for The Chronicles of Spellborn, shares some insights into his role on Spellborn International's flagship title in a developer diary at MMORPG.com<blockquote><em>Hi, my name is Michael Perdieus, twenty-eight years old and born and raised in Belgium. I have a Masters degree in Audio Visual Art. During my studies I became passionate for 3D modeling and animation. I gathered a lot of experience working on music videos and commercials before I started working on computer games. I have been a Lead Animator for two games previously, and in the beginning of 2005 I joined Spellborn NV as Lead Animator for The Chronicles of Spellborn. As an Animator I have the magical task of bringing characters to live. All those amazingly designed and modeled beings remain lifeless statues until they are given a skeleton and a lifecycle. Every creature, from the smallest rabbit to the biggest end boss needs its own specific set of animations to make them come to life in a believable way in the Spellborn universe.
<br>
<br>The Chronicles of Spellborn is blessed with a very unique style. Everything that is created for the game like models, textures, sounds and animations needs to fit this style and needs to enhance the player’s experience. As a Lead animator it is my job to make sure that the animations that the Animation Team produces are a perfect fit when all the disciplines come together. Animation-wise this means that some of the animations need to be unrealistic to look real in the game world.</em></blockquote><a href="http://www.mmorpg.com/gamelist.cfm?gameId=207&setView=features&loadFeature=556&fp=1024,768,1144390093026,20060407020813" target="_blank">More...</a> |
