SnotlingRecently the art team have been adding the finishing touches to some of the races you've already seen from Warhammer Online cdkey, such as the greenskins. As well as making final tweaks to what's already been done on the models and mod parts they've been adding even more variation and character to them too.

One such thing that has popped into existence recently (and whose absence has previously been much maligned by a few fanatics on the forums) is this cool little Snotling.

This model pretty much completes our basic greenskin contingent, taking us all the way from the weak and cowardly Snotlings to the larger, but still weak, Goblins and Night PLAYNC time card Goblins up to their more powerful Orc and Black Orc cousins. As well as this there are Squigs, Trolls, Giants and all the other weird and wonderful creatures an Orc horde attracts.

Warhammer announced today that they have licensed the SpeedTreeRT tree rendering engine for use in their upcoming OGAMESTORE "Warhammer cdkey."  Used in many games today, SpeedTreeRT offers developers the abililty to include trees in their enviornments that are beautiful, diverse and realistic - with little overhead.  Here is the official press release along with a couple screens:

"SpeedTree has been fantastic in enabling us to bring the tree-covered wildernesses of the Warhammer time card World to life in a visually exciting, but cost efficient and effective way," said Robin Dews, General Manager of Warhammer Online, Ltd. "For the first time in a game such as this, thanks to the technology behind SpeedTree, we have been able to recreate deep, dark, dangerous cheap xbox gold environments, the type that keep this game really authentic to the grim, dark and gritty World of Warhammer."

"SpeedTree is efficient, robust, easy to use, well documented and cost effective; in short, it's aion time card everything a programmer wants from middleware. The results in Warhammer Online are visually impressive and I'm continually delighted with our decision to use it" commented Iain Cantlay, 3D Engine Programmer for Warhammer Online.
