Hey all, I’m looking for animators to help with a 3d RPG called Vendara (http://www.vendara.net). Vendara is an open project which is progressing off of voluntary contributions (including that of myself). We have collected many character and monster models (as well as have a team of 3d modelers and artists), but we lack a rigger/animator to bring the models to life. Any contributed work would be seen directly and implemented in our current build of the game (which is currently open in a development-only release). Anyone interested should feel free to ask any questions about the project in this thread, or send me an email at sig9 AT vendara DOT net.
i know how to rig, but im kinda busy right now so i cant do much
I’m a bit tied up too . … but I’ll check your site!
Oh - I can’t register - need more instructions please!
I am willing to work by bid.
Or I am willing to work for $62.00 UDS per hour.
$120.00 per hour and I will train your artists, you must provide transportation and living expenses.
lol, i hope you arent serious =(
The forum is closed to development only (you can’t sign up atm). Feel free to browse the posts, however, since we want to keep our development public.
Any/all of you guys are welcome to contribute as little or as much as youd like. We just had a new build of the game released (development release) but unfortunately we’re still using poor models because they are the only ones with semi working animations. As I mentioned before, we have many nice new models which are just waiting to be rigged/animated =). If anyone is interested send me an email and I’ll set you up with an invite code for the forums.
[EDIT] I forgot to include my email address, its sig9 AT vendara DOT net .
No game fits my standards yet.
I doubt yours does or will.
Umm… No.
I don’t blame you for being skeptical, most projects don’t go anywhere (especially game projects). Not sure what your standards are for game projects, but why not check out Vendara regardless, you might be surprised.
Why so pessimistic?
It’s a good site. sig9 also has a cat for his avatar - so that means he’s up to somefink great and for the good.
By the way sig9 - have you got any models you or your team will like to share with our project ? (I’ve also got a cat for my avatar - in a different website though)
EDIT: Thank you in advance & in return, you never know, but some of our work may wash off onto yours . . .
Hmm. What kind of project are you working on? Our models probably wouldn’t be any good for you guys to use unless you’re constructing a game with similar theme/story background… If you give me some more info I’ll ask the others what they think about sharing some of our art.
Thank you so much! I’ll pm you our details - I’d personally rather not go live just now as we still are laying a solid foundation. I’m interested in textures, models & frames shots mostly. Right now I’m working on my animations skills - since that’s what the shortage appears to be!
I visited your site; I’m not sure I understand what you would want our graphics for…maybe you can elaborate. As far as textures go, some of my 3d artists have been using sites like http://www.cgtextures.com/ (although some have been handmade)- maybe you should check that place out.
You mentioned brushing up on animation; were you planning on contributing to ven?
Thanks for your your link - I’ll be sure to check it out. Regarding my contributions plan to ven - unfortunately my schedule is a bit tight at the moment and will be so for the next 1-2 years duration that I intent to focus on the open movie project I’m currently engaged. However I will periodically go to your site (with your permission) as there is some good things that may be of value to us.
It would be a good idea to ask before using any materials on the site. Many things are public but most of them (models, storyline, etc.) are specific to the game and we would like to keep them that way. As far as sharing material goes, if it’s going to be a 1 way contribution I don’t think we’re interested; it would be nice if we could help each other out, but I guess that is not the case (as you are unavailable indefinitely).
No worries - I understand your point.
EDIT: I’ m not one burn my bridges
I noticed that you posted interested in another thread about a “fantasy mmo”, which has significantly less progress than Vendara (in fact, they had nothing). This just makes me a bit curious of your response to my initial thread.
Anyway, I’m gonna make a new thread in the game engine forum with screenshots, etc.
That’ll be cool - I l’d like the screenshots etc
