3D Art in Ascendancy

^

I paid for cloak of flame to get done. I found out about heatshiver during the process of trying to fund another piece.

It would be interesting to understand why rolling out 3D art along with the item is such a challenge and/or time consuming process for GGG. I've been playing Grim Dawn, and that 8 man team has 100s of items - all of which have their rather complex 3D art available.

So this is actually happening.... Cool I guess. Still doesn't mean much to a lot of people who have alt art stuff unless we get the ability to turn them into mtx effects. Maybe you should ask if people can fund that to the front of the que? :)

Or, maybe YOU could ask, ya know.

I was also thinking, if/when they implement this feature, assuming that it works like Chris stated...man the price of alt art is gonna sky-rocket. Especially on older and rare items. Having to consume the item to create the MTX will result in fewer and fewer items available over time. The uliltimate item sink.

Not surprised only 13 exist, at least according to the race points for that season. Helman is on record saying he still has all his race rewards (if I am remembering correctly), and I would assume Kripp still has his. Not many to choose from if someone wanted to get one.

But accounts like Mors, Helman, Goratha, Throzz, etc who have been racing for a long time will have some amazing looking characters if the consume for perm MTX feature (or cross instance MTX feature) get implemented.

Characters just pretty to look at.

More on topic, I'm excited for the alt art Heatshiver, and how it will look, too bad I don't have the alt cloak to go with it (hopefully the normal one will look nice too, eventually).

Probably because the Art in PoE in general, especially the items, are on another level from Grim Dawn's. Grim's stuff isn't bad but I mean..cmon

Ya I can understand that for some people that looks ok, personally I don't dig it so much, I could just play d2 again.

I was only pointing out that they must be much, much easier to render than PoE's.
