Critical Mass Interactive Completes "Next Generation" Art Contract for THQ / Relic's The Outfit

AUSTIN, Texas -- March 14, 2006.

Artwork for THQ / Relic's next-generation The Outfit launches with the game this month. Working closely with the Canadian developer, Relic, the Austin team at CMI created highly detailed, normal-mapped objects for the Xbox 360 third person RTS game set in the middle of WWII.

"This is a title that needs to have all the stops pulled out, so we called in the experts at Critical Mass. We have been very satisfied with their work and are looking forward to working together again in the near future," commented Lesley Milner.

CMI's president Matt Scibilia adds "working with the team at Relic was very well orchestrated. The art director provided us with great direction, and that is a huge asset to have when working with teams that aren't even in the same country. Having good communication with Relic made the project successful for everyone involved."

Artists at CMI were responsible for creating new items that had to fit into the overall look and feel of The Outfit, while still working over 1000 miles away from their client. Assets were created with normal maps, specular maps, and gloss maps with the long-distance approval of the art director. "We are very proud of the work that we did for Relic, and look forward to doing more projects with them in the future," added Scibilia.
