1 Good stuff, but there's more than a few works of comparable quality out there if you're in the mood to look for them.

If you're interested, the tool used to extract the models in question is most likely the WoW Model Viewer, or perhaps some spiritual descendant as it doesn't appear to have been updated in some time, so I don't know if it still works.

2 Right now the current version of model viewer isn't compatible with the current version of WoW. Hopefully, someone's working on it, since the Model Viewer is an absolutely vital program for making WoW machinima and comics.

Absolutely agree with you about the video, Steven. "Blind" blew me away. Some people on WoW message boards were whining about the J-pop soundtrack, but I loved that.

3 Oh, and a little background for those non-World-of-Warcrack addicts, which will explain a bit of what's going on. Spoilers, of a sort...

The woman with the staff is Lady Katrana Prestor, a noble who serves as one of the King's advisors. In reality, she is the black dragon Onyxia, who is manipulating events for her own evil purposes. "Blind" refers not just to the abilities of the blood elf assassin, but to the people of Stormwind, who are blind to the threat in their kingdom.

When the game came out, Onyxia was a major raid boss for lvl 60 characters. There was a long quest chain where a player had to uncover her true identity, resulting in a huge battle in the throne room. The player then could get forty of his well-equipped friends and go try to kill Onyxia in her lair.

None of this matters now, since progression in the games storyline have removed Prestor from the throne room, and some level 80 characters have soloed Onyxia.

5 That is a drastic improvement. Man, that looks good!
