Larian Studios Forums Beyond Divinity (English) General Some clarification please!

Hello,

I'm currently enjoying Divine Divinity for the very first time, and what a great game it's been so far, but I'm sure you all know that already. Anyway, I was reading a little about Beyond Divinity and it's been mentioned that the characters have 3D animations, I'm not even sure what that means, but in the FAQ it mentions that the characters will be 3D this time around... So just to clarify things, will all the characters in BD be 3D models as opposed to 2D sprites?

Thanks,
Claws.

All characters in Beyond Divinity are in 3D. The background etc is still in 2D

Nice, thanks.

The best thing about this is that all armour and weapons can look unique as it's just a different texture! Yay for armour pretties! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

It doesn't just mean that. It also means that the Larians can now include graphics for all those worthless weapons and armour. You know which I mean, the straw hat, the pan on your head, the fork and the spoon. They couldn't do this in DivDiv, because it would take up way too much space to render each sprite individually for each angle, and for each character, and it simply wouldn't be worth it. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

And don't forget that witout the 3D modeld the hammer in the a$$ bug would never have occured and that would be such a shame. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/silly.gif" alt="" />
