(Please note, that we have asked for and have been given permission by Arkane Studios / Zenimax to produce this free mod.)
Seeking:
Please note, that we are not here to seek other talented persons to do all the work! we are already a committed small team who have produced many assets for the mod already, such as textures, scripts, code and static models. We seek the help of some persons to help with creature modeling and animation that is currently our of our skill set.
We are currently seeking the help of modellers to start producing original and unique NPC and creature models. We have on-board two talented artists who are producing concept art that we need to realise into models.
The models we need include medieval guards, villagers, spiders, rat-men, snake-women, dragons, rats, goblins etc.
Background:
Our mod is called ‘Arx - End of Sun’ and is a pre-quel to the dungeon RPG game Arx Fatalis by Arkane studios.
The mod uses the Doom3 (IDTech4) engine, although we see the engine as just a platform rather than being a Doom3 mod.
We have already been in progress with the mod for over a year and have already produced many assets and written hundreds of new lines of code in the engines SDK to make our mod one of the most advanced mods ever produced for IDTech4
We have just completed SDK modifications to make non-linear level transitions a reality. This is a unique first for any Doom3 mod and also an essential element for any RPG.
In case you are not too familiar with, or have forgotten the original Arx Fatalis game, why not check out this link (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MRKML...eature=related) for a quick example.
Alternately, those for those who are interested the theme of the mod, the original game is very medieval. Think caves, castles, dungeons, hidden passages, dark, cold, eerie environments, secrets and suspense. This fantasy setting includes creatures such as goblins, dwarfs, spiders, snake women, dragons etc. We need to create and animate many of these models and assets for the mod.
Spec:
Don’t have time to become a full time member of the team? – no problem, we would still gratefully accept any appropriate contributions to the mod.
3D Character Artist/Animator:
- Ability to produce high-Quality models of characters provided as artwork by the Concept Artists.
- Ability to produce normal maps from hi-poly models
- Ability to rig a character to be ready for animations
- The knowledge of Arx Fatalis are not needed but a plus.
- The knowledge of MD5 model format is not required but a plus.
We look forward to hearing from anyone who is interested.
