Okay; well, I'm in some major luck; I discovered a backup CD of my texture library, which I'd believed lost. And as luck would have it, it has many excellent components for creating masonry, wood, stucco/plaster and probably roof images. Is there a repository of existing textures somewhere so I can see what types of things have already been done?

Well if you'd like me to start immediately, texturing is the best bet; I'm good to go right away. It'll take me a short time to get set up for modeling/animating, I'll need to track down my software and get it set up. Not long, a day or two at the longest I would hope; less if I can find one of my archival CDs. But texturing, I could be going in 5 minutes if you needed it.

I've had training, but it wasn't my focus... the rust on that would be a lot thicker. I'd have to practice. I know enough to help though, and actually I would love an excuse to brush up on my animation skills a bit. Probably best to start me off on simpler animations first.

Sure can, especially the texturing. There'll be no problem with modeling either, I'll just have to get software reinstalled for that and brush off a small bit of rust, but that's easy enough. I understand there are a variety of 3D packages being used in the modeling work on this project? My primarily familiarity is with Max, though I've played a little with Maya too.
