Building the Perfect Videogame Babe


Hottest Videogame Babes of 2008 [http://www.ea.com].

Spiotto's creation is right at home on the list that also includes digital hotties like Anya Stroud from Grand Theft Auto IV [http://gearsofwar.xbox.com/]. But what exactly is involved in putting together a videogame character who's so well put-together?

"I was given a brief description of the character, her traits, role in the game, and a bit about her personality," the artist wrote on his blog. "Then I sat down and cranked out a bunch of ideas in rough sketches. The art director and I would then sift through the pages of sketches, picking out what we liked about certain ideas, shelving the ones that didn't quite work."

Eventually they settled on three concepts that "felt right" for the character and Spiotto moved on to hairstyles. Once that was finished, "modeling packets" were assembled so the character could be modeled in 3-D, with texture details included to ensure the texture artist could accurately recreate the materials in Kendra's uniform. Kendra's face was provided by actress Tonantzin Carmelo [http://www.tcarmelo.com/index.php], who also suited up for motion capture duties.

The end result was perhaps a little more heavily bump-mapped than Spiotto's original vision, but who am I to argue with success? Have a look at the whole thing right here [http://jspiotto.blogspot.com/2009/06/dead-space-kendra.html].

Zoey is a hottie?

I thought the most natural, normal-looking yet pretty girl has been made in 2004 - Alyx from Half Life 2.

Maxim isn't porn. And it isn't that hard to create a video game "babe" in my opinion, its pretty obvious what most guys look for physically and they just create little niche staples for each one. (blond hair here, brunette there, tattoos here, belly shirt there, etc) small variations of otherwise the same woman.

NOTE*** see Soul Calibur 4

I'd have to say the "best tough, believeable female character" award goes to a toss-up between Zoey from Left 4 Dead and Alyx from Half-Life 2. Hm...does that mean VALVe knows how women operate?

Well, they know how to make them look human at least.
Not like a frame for 2 over-sized water balloons.

I think this thread has derailed big time.

That said, I did laugh when I saw they picked Maria Sharapova is a Video Game Babe.

Also, you've linked to Naomi Hunter instead of Kendra Daniels.

I see, heh. Which is probably why my brother gets away with it >.o
And guys, please read the thread before quoting me, you all basically told me the same thing four times.

Yeah. Everybody knows Gabe Newell's a ladies man.

Kendra Daniels... hot? No fecking way, she's the first female character I've wanted to seen ripped to pieces by the aliens (the 2nd is that woman from the film of 'The Mist', you know the one I mean).

Gosh, she's...uh... quite a bit more top heavy than the sketches or the actress. I mean, frankly, her head's not much bigger in comparison.

The Team Fortress 2 Pyro and GLaDOS were also innovative female characters.
