THE FAE

The Fae are one of the most mobile classes in Crowfall. Able to both double jump and glide. I was responsible for working on the female Fae. Tasked with establishing the proportions and modeling their first armor set.

At this period in development we did not use any sort of alpha on characters. This resulted in us creating the wings by modeling dozens of actual feathers as seen below. Overall they work well enough in motion but admittedly I would not recommend this approach. I think a combination of modeling mixed with alpha would work much better giving both more performant results and less headaches for rigging. Especially at a MMO level bone count. Learning through doing on this one.

Lore

“In the time before time, the Fae were playful and joyful folk who lived in the deep seclusion of the woods of Cybele, the Maiden Goddess. For centuries, they seemed unconcerned with the politics of life beyond the woods, content to keep to their own and avoid treating with outsiders.”
