Blizzard gives us a look at how the tauren in World of Warcrafts new expansion/graphics update Warlords of Draenor will look and move.
In a new entry on the game’s blog – titled “Running of the Bulls” – several developers working on the improved character models speak for Warlords of Draenor work, about the male Tauren, whose new look was presented for the first time at the most recent Blizzcon – the difference is that this time there are not just screenshots, but real animations.

It’s immediately apparent how much more detailed yet familiar the new model looks on the right, but some emotes (representations of emotions) are required to truly appreciate the difference.

From the swaying braids to the movement of the lips, everything looks so much more pleasing to the eye.

Great.
More detailed information about the technical details of these animations as well as some other videos showing the animators’ work can be found in the blog entry.
