Love Ratchet and Clank as much as Qwark loves himself? Then watch this livestream event from GNOMON Education! Five Insomniacs discuss the making of Sunset Overdrive and the Ratchet and Clank Ps4 game.

Erin Zaneski, a character artist, was able to present many of the characters she helped model for the game. The full image collection will be shown at the bottom of the news post. This is an example of the Rilgar and Kallibo IV robots re-imagined for the ps4. It's a four-step process:
1) re-visit original concept art for character.
2) study original ps2 design of character.
3) create re-imagined concept art design.
4) model the new concept art design.

However, not every character is the same as before. Skidd's Agent turned into a brand-new character called "Shiv Helix." He's a cell-mate in the prison that Qwark broke out of (backstory, perhaps?). He has a robot arm and wears prison garb. Other new characters like the Brain Scientist and Felton Razz were also featured.

In addition to character models, Erin also modeled some vehicles for the PS4 game. The Tanker and Hoverboard now have more sleek and refined designs. She said she really wanted to give off the emphasis of looking at an enemy from afar, and recognizing what it is, and how to react to it.

Henrique Naspolini, a senior character artist, modeled Mrs. Zurkon, and the Dropship of Doom. He also showed off different attempts at textures for the ship, and how he was able to get an interior for Mrs. Zurkon.

The final character artist, Xavier Coelho-Kostolny, explained the challenges of modeling with his example of Captain Qwark. He had to go from a movie design, to a game design, using different poly-counts. He had problems texturing the eyes and the body in general. He said he worked on a total of nine characters, and 1 ship.

Poland's Ratchet and Clank Movie poster has a very…different translation for the tagline. There is also an Iceland Trailer for the movie, complete with an all-star cast.
Here is the full gallery of images from the livestream.
