Hi there, im looking for some modelers (3ds Max suggested), texture artist’s, and scripters who would like to make a Warship Combat Simulator. I was thinking either a mod of the up coming Ship Simulator 2007, or if anyone here has the ability to make a game themselves (like in XNA). Or a short film. Or just some really kick ass models.
If this project gets going well we would have the modelers model maybe 2 ships each, poly counts around 600,000 - 1,000,000 (with the plans I have you can easliy make them very detailed) I know for sure that the Ship Simulator engine can handle counts this high because in the 2006 edition they have a Titantic model that they confirmed to have over 800,000 polies.
As for texturers, you would need to make pretty simple textures including decking waterlines bolts and aged metal.
As for the scripters I really have no knowledge of how to do that… so hopefully we can get some help.
I am currently making the IJN Yamato and I have many detailed plans of other ships including Bismarck and the Scharnhorst that I would send to you to get started modeling if you want to join!
If you are interested please either Email me at moo10032@hotmail.com or AIM me at moo10032
Attached is my current progress on the Yamato and the expected detail. and a completed small boat. (could use better textures)
