After seeing some player made models for some game aspects, I began wondering why we can't use models from a third party site like turbosquid? http://www.turbosquid.com/3d-models/3d-model-pack-fighter-gunship-earthforce/358388 These designs can be downloaded for free (at least these are), and they are made for mods etc. (and i haven't seen any restriction on their usage). As you can see, they already have some nice designs that just need to be re-skinned.
1. They look nothing like the rest of empires. 2. They suck. 3. If we desperately needed models we would hire a modeler. 4. They suck.
What would be the point of making this entire mod just to go an copy some one elses work? There isn't one. Just give the devs time and eventually everything will be completed.
I think models are not the big issue delaying aircraft right now. Aircraft models dont need to be done until sometime around the release of the next next version, they have plenty of time to just make their own.
Because I could probably do better in terms of modeling, the models you see up there are more or less easy as hell to make, nothing complicated on them, it's all hard edged. Besides, they're not Empires themed.
QFT Models aren't the problem, they're going fine anyway, the problem is the coding, it's as buggy as hell, according to the devs.
quite the contrary, the core code is done, it just needs to be hit with a stick a few times to make it perfect. however, we have no art.
Well let's make a checklist: Models: 6/8 Textures: 5/8 Animations: 0/8 Aircraft factories: 1/2 AA turrets: 0/6 AA vehicles: .333/2 AA weapons: 0/2 I wouldn't be surprised if the BE dropship and AF were redone either.
That's a pretty good amount of art. You guys haven't coded AA turrets AFAIK anyway. Kylegar said himself that the coders have been lazy as of late .
