While some may not care for the sandbox play and politics of EVE Online, we often hear from people about how graphically gorgeous they think the game is. Well, with the new character creator that's been released to the Singularity test server, CCP is showing that it's ready to rock a whole new way -- Incarna! These two videos preview the shiny new creator in testing, showing off a Caldari Achura female and a Minmatar Brutor male character. We'd also note that CCP has made it clear that the character creator is a work in progress and as such is missing some options currently.
Of course, we'd be lying if we didn't point out that this character creator preview video also makes us squee for CCP's other title under development: World of Darkness. The character creator for that game will have to be able to balance the ethereal beauty of the Toreador clan with the twistedly horrific looks of the Nosferatu clan all in one -- and we'd say this one shows the promise of having that kind of power. Check out the full videos after the break!
[Thanks, CrazyKinux!]

Very nice. This is what character creation should be in all games at least.

Pretty impressive from the videos. Hope those who play Eve enjoy it.

Incursion just makes me that much more excited of Incarna to come out. We've been waiting years for it so what's another 6 months I suppose. We know the graphics are going to ba amazing at least. Now let us just hope there is a serious UI revamp during this time. Hopefully something like what I saw suggested here before.

But what's in Incarna? So far the only vague feature is corp run stores in the stations... That's it. That and avatars. I don't see how anyone can be so excited about that.

Pros, quite good modification, looks quite intuitive interface many options.
Cons, that line that separates the head from the body.... I guess they will fix it sometime.
but, thumps up to them for showing the creator in WIP unpolished stages with textures missing, bold move that I personally at least appreciate.

Man, that looks absolutely gorgeous. I could sink hours into EVE without ever getting past the character creation.

It really makes the Eve lore come to life.

wow this is gonna be the new benchmark for character generation in mmo's. What a leap from 2d character portraits we had so far.

It would be nice if they put this much effort in their combat system!

it's simply wonderful.
the creepy "chainsaw cut" in the neck it's where the textures of head in high definition / resolution end. The rest of the body is done with less beautiful textures (actually the bikini, dresses etc.. are a bit blurry and pixeled).
I'm quite sure they'll make it even more beautiful than this in the options you'll be able to choose considering that there are a lot of things with the WIP mark (lipsticks, hair, etc.) and just a couple of dresses (most of them seem caldari / achura... )
