Modellers
« on: May 19, 2008, 01:21:32 pm »
I understand a lot of you consider themselves low skilled, but i think you're underestimating yourself. How come you often make really nice pieces of stuff, but there is no time for something more serious? Why not make something simple for the city contest, for Amdeneir?
I understand you may have not much time, but i'm sure if you wanted, you could find some. Like devs are developing this game within their free time. They do have it, why won't you try to find some too? ;)
Someone is worried about giving away some vital right for their artwork?
Where are the other teams members? Why won't you try to help? Are there no modellers within you willing to improve their skills? Does it really matter that much what will you model?

Speak about anything what you think. Am i missing some vital information? What's it?

But remember, you will first need to sign the ABC license and fax it away...

You will also need to make sure you're not wasting your time by following one of the many contribution guides avaliable on these forums and do things like: keep poly count low, make sure geometry is clean etc etc..

Neko has a point though, game models arn't particularly complicated and a lot of the detail lies in the texture.. so worry not.

Yes, Xillix, we shall assault the city with force and great army!
But the city has to stand first ???

The ABC license is to be signed at the very end of the contest, so there is nothing to worry for now, as far as i'm getting it. But then the team member has to find fax somewhere and fax it. If Someone is worried about giving rights away, then don't be. All you do will be too much planeshift-Klyros style specific, that you could logically use it anywhere else, so if additionally you won't be allowed by the license, it really isn't a big prolem. You won't loose right to showing the stuff around and telling you did it as a proof of how good you are.

Yes, we have to follow guidelines, but these aren't that strict. Texture size limits and thus detail limits are annoying, but from other side it is faster to make a small texture than a big one.
