SuperKungFu Posted January 22, 2009 Author Share Posted January 22, 2009 Yea none of us do it for cash, we do it because we love the sim and continue want to bring the community great mods. But we hit a speed bump with the lack of texture artist. =/ [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nemises Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 probably the hardest part of the job to do ..may I suggest you consider posting at the cgtalk forums ? They may not be simming folk, but you will find a large community of 3ds (and maya and lightwave and modo and .....) modellers, texturers and animators. Hopefully of that mob , there will be a subset that are intersted in working in very low polygon / low res for our benefit! .. Certainly if they see some of your previous project results (the A10, your Airbase improvements..) , that should spark up some interest ? .. certainly someone keen to get into the gaming industry and with the skillset should jump at the opertunity to be onboard a great team like simmod Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aeroscout Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 Does it have to be 3ds max and involve all this 3D stuff? If it's texture, then couldn't it just be some photoshop artists? Could you open it up to people who might have the talent to do good work but maybe not the cash to buy 3ds max? Aero out DCS Wishlist: 1) FIX THE DAMN RIVERS!!! 2) Spherical or cylindrical panorama view projection. 3) Enhanced input options (action upon button release, etc). 4) Aircraft flight parameter dump upon exit (stick posn, attitude, rates, accel, control volume, control-surface positions, SAS bias, etc). 5) ADS-33 maneuver courses as static objects. 6) Exposed API or exports of trim position and stick force for custom controllers. 7) Select auto multiple audio devices Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know that cuts down a lot of talented folks out there, but we need someone that could skillfully unwrap a model since that alone is an art form and be able to create a template from scratch.

SuperKungFu Posted March 3, 2009 Author Share Posted March 3, 2009 Sorry to bump this back up but sim-mod needs a good texture artist. We understand the requirements are a bit high, especially unwraping a 3D model since you would need 3d max- which is a very expensive program. So I think it would be in our best interest to loosen the requirements, if you are a skilled texture artist, please send Yeniceri a PM. Plus, you get to play with the latest and cool stuff before anyone else and leave your mark on the gaming industry. Hopefully this encourages someone to step forth.

nemises Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 I know a few years back (back when I was an animator) , there was a free version of 3dsmax called GMax ... I believe the only restriction on it was that you couldn't render without a watermark. However, does the Gmax toolset not allow for UV unwrapping 3ds files? It was Free , and designed for people to use as a game / low poly modeller.... If it pans out that you can use GMax to unwrap, I strongly urge any talented photoshoper / texture artist to have a go at unwrapping some model's using gmax..there are TONS of tutorials out there with good workflows for doing it... it takes a bit of time, but is very necessary. ...and if it can add to the talent pool in simmod , then all good!

Feuerfalke Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 Interesting point. I did some texture works with early versions of 3DS and some skinning for IL2 and I am still working in the graphics business (primarily with PS). So it surely sounds interesting. So maybe you should restate the question and ask if anybody can make a skin for some model ( the KA50? ) and would like to test his skills with Simmod?
