this is the in game version of Nathan Drake from Uncharted 2: Among Thieves. This is a maya screenshot so the shaders aren't 100% the same as in game.

    thanks AJ!!

    Azurelle, so the answer is a bit wierd... he has some proportion issues actually all around.. however, when I got to Naughty Dog about 4 years ago, his rig was already made.. so really I didn't have a choice but to model him to that rig.. so the real answer is a bunch of legacy that cant be fixed.. I think the main idea in the begining was to give him a bit of exagerated proportions.. I tried my best to make it work on the rig and thought overall that it was pretty successful. I'm sorry that you feel like it bothers you.. I didn't think it really stuck out in game though :/  oh well..

    Can I ask you something please?

    I have been wondering about that all the time I played the game:
    Why the heck does he have such short legs????
    I just don't get behind it. O_O

    Brilliant work.

    You & everyone at Naughty Dog did such an amazing job. I spent SO much time just staring at the character models, environments, shaders & animation... To have all those wonderful visuals but actually in a fantastic game too..!? Please keep doing what you guys do.

    Best game of 2009 - Hands. Down.
