Artists needed for 3D Master of Orion like game

#1

Hello there, we are developing a 3D Space Opera game. A space opera is a game very much like Master of Orion/Civilization in space where you play the part of a space-faring race. You’ll explore the galaxy, colonize planets, engage in warfare and much more.
We are searching for all kind of artists (both 2D and 3D). Unfortunately I cannot offer any compensation BUT keep in mind that there are no such games being developed by professional companies that are in 3D, at least that I’m aware of. So a commercial release might not be totally out of the window.
But if you like drawing/modeling space related graphics and are not yet an expert, then this would be an excellent opportunity to further hone your abilities and possibly show your skills to a global audience.

Skills in these fields would also be useful:
[ul]
[li]Fractal Landscape software knowledge (such as Mojoworld, Terragen) - Useful tools to generate planet backgrounds[/li][li]Shader development (the game is being coded in Managed DirectX via C#, so if you are able to code beautiful pixel/vertex shaders it would be of immense help)[/li][li]Anything that I can’t think of, but you think it would make a nice addition[/li][/ul]Here are some screenshotsof the game. Please keep in mind that it is not yet final, a lot of work must be done. If you are interested, then your help will be greatly appreciated. We are a small team but only with the help of you artists we’ll succeed :slight_smile: For any information, please reply or contact me at avengerdragon //at// gmail.com .
You can also visit our forums.

Thanks in advance!

This project looks interesting, i would like to know more about the storry or some consept drawings.
I have been working with c4d for aprox 3 years now, have allso tryed 3dmax and maya but c4d is my best choise for now and modelling is my best side, and animation is my weakest, but i am trying to improve all over the scale by doing tutorials and practice.
I have wery little work posted around on the net because about 95% of my projects is unfinished, i have some pictures of my models posted in the space opera challenge here on cgtalk.

I would love to help this project out as much as possible.
I loved MOO3 back in the day, and this game project (after looking in the ‘forms’) looks like there are some dedicated people behind the scenes

SO, I am here to offer my assistance. I know some programming languages to some extent (C++, C). And I could also make some models. But from the looks of things yall need a website more than anything, and in that field. I can help. (I know HTML, DHTML, XML, Java, JavaScript, PHP, and more. So if you need any help e-mail me ASAP, so we can discuss what we need to do.
:thumbsup:

[EDIT] When making models, I work in XSI

Hey,

You need anyone to model creatures? I’m sure it won’t be too fun if you don’t have something/one to run into, right? I’m not much of a shader writer but I can do a passable rig. Oh, yeah, I work in Maya.
