Modeller Roll Call!

[Springheel]

Ok, I need to get a list of people on the team with modelling experience, and who is working on what. Currently I have:

 

Deep Omega: Main Thief Character

oDDity: Hammerite Guard, Elite Hammerite Guard, Zombie

Fjonan: Desk

 

and that's it. We need more than just character models, so all modellers, speak up!

[DeepOmega]

I'd like another job, since the modelling of the thief is nearly done. City guard would be very fun. I'm also cool with some equipment as low-key work - they'll be way easy compared to character modelling.

I can do basic modeling, which is essentially anything but characters or animals.

We need a GUI designer as well. I think it would be best if that is done by one or two person to not have to many different styles for each screen.

Ok, Deep Omega, how do you feel about modelling some equipment? You've already done a good job with the sword. We have concept art for the four elemental arrows (which all use the same model by the look of it) And we will need a bow as well. Are you willing to tackle those this week?

Oofnish, how do you feel about modelling some basic furniture? I'll check on what we need specifically when I get home from work.

[DeepOmega]

I'm on it - should be really fast work, and a nice break from the Thief.

[Springheel]

Ok, check the Approved Concept Art thread for the arrows and flashbomb. I'm still waiting for a concept sketch of the noise arrow. If you'd like to do up a broadhead too, that would be great.

[oofnish]

Sure, I'd be happy to model some furniture.

[Springheel]

Actually, Oofnish, would you be up for modelling the lightgem? We need something to texture so we can start looking at it in game. The thread with the reference material is already created. If you'd rather not let me know and I'll assign it to someone else.

Nah, should be easy enough:)

I can do low poly stuff up to about 10,000 polys, but I'm pretty tied up in other stuff right now to have the time to help out. Besides, I'm limited to anim8or, so I'm not much help here anyway. I plan on learning blender when I get done with my other major projects.

[jay pettitt]

I'm in.

I will start on the noble man if that’s ok with you springheal.

what is my triangle limit for this particular character? I will use a 512 by 512 texture size and can I use the unwrap uv's in max for the texture projection ...or do you use a different method for the game engine ?

[Springheel]

Sure, you can tackle the nobleman. Be sure to check the concept art thread. http://forums.thedarkmod.com/index.php?showtopic=344

 

As far as the technical details, that's outside my area of expertise. You'll have to ask either Deep Omega or oDDity about that.

 

As well, oDDity has made available a male and female template which I am encouraging people to use as a base for our characters.

[Fingernail]

Make the texture 1024x1024 for now, alan.

 

We can scale down afterwards if that's too much a performance hit.

Has he provided a download link? I have an older copy of lightwave and would be interested in trying my hand at modeling.

Has he (oDDity) provided a download link?

Nope, i don't think so. Not yet.
