Or if you prefer, you can download the .avi version (172MB).
Specular mapping is applied to his back to highlight the texture
on the bricks
and make his skin look more rough and leathery.
His fists have bump mapping applied to give them that stony appearance.
All the sharper to grind bones with :D
Here's a shot of our prototyping interface:

So far away
This filter uses HDR, bloom, desaturate, contrast, tint, and fog.
The fairy shader creates the whitish shade along her silouhette. The technique is also used to simulate cloth materials like velvet.
If a tree falls in the forest and no one hears it, does it make a sound? The Hallucinogen Filter is a combination of desaturation, contrast, HDR, and bloom.
 Dayyyyyaaamn that's some hot stuff (I didn't realize this guy was so pro!) - Colossus Texture by the very talented "softdistortion" (I'mma get his name!) from cgtalk.com
All that static electricity from her hair's gotta go somewhere..

Thanks to Larry again for the amazing concept art. We're also thrilled to see the anime-style of Rebecca! Keep em coming :D
Grapple onto mountains and players, and swing around them.

Rebecca Mills
"You sure know how to throw a party. No food, no drinks, and the
only babe just left."
Implemented basic AI across the network. Bots are treated just like normal characters. Swords
interact with all players and apply push-back. Also fixed that network
jitter.
I put my DirectX reference in the cupboards to help out anyone
struggling.
It's called "Programming Role Playing Games with DirectX". The 800
pages
cover everything so please have a look if you need help and put the book
back
when you're done.
哀れだな…あんたは何も解っていない……大切じゃないものなんかない！
-- cloud strife
(Pitiful... You understand nothing. There's nothing that I don't love!)
Implemented throwing swords with collision detection. Also put in a lock-on target mode with slow-motion and motion-blur. The camera is now collidable with the terrain and is loose about the player.
"There's a dragon behind you!"
"C'mon, I'm not falling for that..."
Integrated graphics with network and physics engine.
Rebecca's monologue 
What Rebecca Mills looks like in real life:
We've also implemented Squirrel C++ bindings to allow scripting the entire scene without compiling. And wrapped the physics/collision in a class shared by both client and server to support dead-reckoning. As Rebecca Mills would say, "Oh my--"
Here are a few screenshots. Booyeah!
These screens were rendered with our custom "WTF Engine" with Ogre3D. We've implemented a variety of techniques such as waving grass with vertex shaders, lens flares and "fireflies" with billboards, and a few full-screen effects. We've also built our own pseudo-HDR effect aka the WTF Effect, which causes bright spots to bleed light out of the screen.

Some other full-screen effects include motion blur and a "Time Ripple" distortion effect.

On another note, our network and game-engine integration are roughly complete as of this week, as is our collision detection.
