I didn't see any "Introduce yourself" section so I'm posting now. I got a PM on moddb to come here. I am a 3d modeler in Maya. I do mostly weapon stuff. I am a member on a few other mods and have been asked to come here so ....here I am.
If you actually model stuff into source, you can unzip your pants right now, theres hella of people ready to suck
haha now that we lost all the great devs that actually worked on this game a modeler finally shows up.
I'd say you should talk to brutos but he's pretty busy IRL atm. Wanna add me on steam? http://steamcommunity.com/id/Empty_Shadow We can talk this afternoon (I have school for a 6 hours) I'll have a look at some of your previous work and see if I can't get the ball rolling.
hey guy, take a welcome basket, install the mod and try to find someone to show you around in it (imcurrently on a busness tripo therwise i would do it) sorry for sub-normal spelling i am typing from an airplane
If this is real I bet he won't stand this for more than a week. Also , I welcome You in the anus of the internet, where the "cool" guys go for e-viagra.
A mixed reception... that's nice I guess. Email or MSN me the details of what you need, otherwise I'll just go my own way. Looking for direction or someone to tell me what to do honestly.
I think a new Northern Faction rax was a popular idea. Since you do weapons you could try to create a shotgun for the scout (since that topic always resurfaces in the "suggestions" and "art" and "general discussion" area of the forum).
IRC is where all the important and relevant things happen for this mod, the forums are for dicking around and the occasional showcase its #empiresmod on irc.gamesurge.net If you can't IRC than you might want to check out this and then read this
Or if you use firefox there is an irc program called chatzilla. http://wiki.empiresmod.com/index.php?title=Fun_projects#Modeling_.26_Concept_Art I do not know if this page has been updated, but those are some projects you could apply your skills to.
You were incapacitated that night, Ukgamer. Cahemdue; Some of the weapons are indeed in need of remodeling. The Northern-Faction Assault Rifle (NF_RIFLE_1) looks like a tube, and needs to look something more like it belongs. Perhaps the NF Scout Rifle as well, but that's not necessary. Unfortunately more of the models we need are in the buildings department. NF could use a new barracks, as the current one resembles a barn. NF has also been looking to get a new Armory, as a single-entrance/cramped building is kind of..annoying. As for aircraft; I don't think we should be focusing on that. Implementation of Aircraft at such a vital stage in Empire's development (trying to balance the game) would bring an untold number of bugs, exploits, and things that, in general, Empires doesn't need right now. As Varbles has rightly said, IRC is where the developer(s?) hang out, and can easily be reached. Alternatively you can try contact Brutos (our main Dev) through Steam. If you need any assistance, or you would like me to help you understand the game, feel free to message me through steam; my username is Shadowwolf0189. Good luck, Steve.
Aircraft will have there own maps so it won't break current empires and I think mootant said if he just got some models that he would start adding them in for tests. That would prolly raise interest in testing which would make mashav happy.. Also I think it would be wise to start asap before this game gets really old.
I just spent some time looking at the stuff on your site, and I have to say, I'm impressed. Welcome, and I am looking forward to/hoping you get involved in Empires development, it sure needs someone with your artistic talent.
shortly after the release of 2.25 I was in spec chat and mootant claimed that helicopters would be ok aircraft to use in the current maps. would be cool to see if we had like transport choppers and attack choppers in the game.
the nf ar is one of the most awesome weapons in the game, if you do a new model of this weapon, try to stick to the style and look
Keep it civil >.> Also welcome. Do you do stuff other then weapons? I mean Empires could be greatly enhanced by some simple rocks and trees. Do you also do textures or even animations? If you do animations: Please make us a running animation. Empires is soon 5 years old and it never had running animations
