As such we're giving extra attention to this particular tool - our 3D artists had a blast modeling the equipment to look distinct and yet functional, cool and helpful. Creating such model always is a challenge - it's a tool that is going to be quite often in front of you, a tool that is - in a way - in the centre of attention. You need to be very delibarate and careful when crafting the model to properly convey its weight, function and appearance.

This time we can show those to you in 3D. This way you can track the way the particular concept undergoes - from 2D artwork into the rightful in-game model. Of course our job is not quite done yet - we're still working on other parts of equipment however it's always interesting to see the road we've covered and get motivated for future endeavours!

This kind of visual clarity is something we've talked quite a lot about and we know that it's important - especially during the action, when you want to understand what's happening around you quickly and act accordingly.

Hope that will give you another perspective and viewpoint! [i]Thank you for checking in and reading! See you again soon![/i] Kind regards, Chernobyl Liquidators Simulator Team [url=https://discord.gg/wvDMppM][img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/35404032/3275740acc70c627275e89ee73f2cec9575f4e27.png[/img][/url] https://store.steampowered.com/app/1113010/Chernobyl_Liquidators_Simulator/
