Concept art ideas so much better

[cman]

So I was looking through the concept art book the other day and I thought to myself: where the hell did all these awesome ideas go? The whole vision of the city, creature and weapons designs, mechanics ideas, crossbows, tinker tom (I think would be much better as a grizzled old man) was altered from the original concepts which seemed much more badass, dangerous and fun to explore. Not saying the final result was bad, I love the games world, but come on bethesda, the potential this game had - I'd love to zip line across two crumbled skyscrapers while shooting arrows at raiders. Just look through the book and you'll see what I mean.

art is art, game is game. there is no magic dust to sprinkle that would merge the two.

Not the point. These ideas were still about the game and used in it's creation. I'm just saying it's disappointing what they left out,

Budgets are always the downfall of creativity.

First,2d art and 3d art is quite different... sometime even they use the same design, 2d concept art is still looks better, just like a painting can be much more beautiful than a photo...

And yes, they do cut out lots of stuffs and many of them will very unlikely be add into dlc... I was hoping to see that institute power armor, instead we get institute paint work on enclave armor(which just dont looks right at all)...

I wonder what the dlc is going to be like

a concept art shows two things, one a artistic representation of what the artist belives a designer wants, taken from a bible of that paticular asset.

or two it shows a original pieace of art inspired or related to the project.

i could get in to a whole lot of things, but much of the time 3d artist will usually follow a series of reference images when making a model and as much they look cool, concepta mostly provides a basic of what to look for or what to be inspired by then create said asset using gathered referenes

also the final design will be greatly influenced by many factors, asthetics, engine capabillities. so for example from you is the zip line across two buildings, interesting pieace of art, but in design and engine terms its almost impossible to pull of with stabillity and reoccurance in mind
