Proposal!

[ai]

Alright, now more than ever I see people complain about the models and I really wish to make new ones but I unfortunately right now am doing another project but maybe I can cram in some modeling for Nexuiz, and I have no problem that the models have to be released under GPL. So my proposal is, if anyone can do concept arts for models (front, back and side view, and proportionally correct) I most likely will be able to model them. I don't have time enough to draw and model thus this proposal.

So fire them arts up and I make new ones!

I'd vote for remakes of Mulder, Carni and the Marine - that way you'd have the artwork already in 3D.

Any new drawings would rule of course.

Well i obviously, after using it so long, love the carni, especially the armored version.. But i also think the Mulder (nexus, xolar) is a very good looking model that should be redone. I dislike the marine a bit, it looks too ordinary as i think most of the human models do in Nexuiz. Not sure if its because i now use it but the headhunter is also a very cool model. If it were redefined, better looking it might really kickass. The big plus for the carni is the smooth surface and the gloss textures, those look really good at high quality settings.
Also the insect models are interesting but those look a bit slim.. if that were improved along with polycount i'd also like that.

Carni seems like the biggest stand-out character in the lineup. I'd imagine if Nex had a story mode, he'd be the badass that everyone would see as being cool and be iconic for the game So vote++ on a remake of him.

I'm a pretty poor artist, but I might take a stab at this.

I think marine needs a remake, he looks like a grumpy old man in a rumpled suit.

Why do you think I use it?

Just as matter of interest my daughter is an atrs graduate and I might be able to persuade her to do some work for free

What kind of tools would one use for constructing this kind of thing? She's not a programmer but she is computer literate.

My vote:
Marine (default model), nexus, carni, headhunter.
These are the models I pretty much see ingame. First, these 4 ones should be redone, and then slowly, all of the models. I think these ones look very good (but please change the face of the marine, it looks like now Viktor Orbán :F).
Insurrectionist is a very good looking model too, but the other humans... omg, those are just "silly".
The robots are ok too.

Well, I just need drawings so any pencil/pen and rubber/whiteout would do. Then making them in front, back and side view proportionally. So that when you put the pictures together it should be exactly the same only in those other views (imagine someone taking a picture at you and you spin 360 degrees and only takes photo's from front, back and side).

There was this different categorish thing I think Morphed or esteel mentioned, Robots, Humans, Some weird alien-like-thing, something else etc. So I plan on starting in that end, perhaps making a male & female robot, alien, human etc. And a little more eyecandy -_^

Where can I find those and what do you mean "already in 3D"? Do you mean the models? I need drawings not the actual models. Though if worst comes to worst I will have to use that. I'm planning on completely redo those models, not optimizing the already existing.

"already in 3D" means .3ds files iirc

and yeah, savageX ment to "redo" the models, but have them look about the same (or of course a bit tweaked) but to be more performant, I think.
