AuraRPG - Looking for Modelers - Developers

Hey all, I nearly forgot about this thread, I've been quite busy. The funny thing is though, that our effort is still in need of an organic modeler, and seeing how someone bumped this thread anyways, I'll just post some of our WIP thus far. [RELEASE] Basic Idea: Aura is a gamemode for the Half-Life 2 modification, Garry's Mod. It's a medieval/fantasy MORPG (Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game). Our workflow is very relaxed and there's essentially no such thing as deadlines. If anyone is interested in discussing more any other details, please free feel to respond to this thread, message on Facepunch, or add 'radawn' to Steam using the Add Friends button.

Shameful bump.

:aaaaa: Amazing ... Words fail me. There needs to be a better rating than artistic.

Im new to modelling in maya, but just say if you guys need a simple model. But i cant compile the models in my version its version 2011. Contact me if you need simple models on my steam acc Gnomkillah

[QUOTE=polkm;25214152]:aaaaa: Amazing ... Words fail me. There needs to be a better rating than artistic.[/QUOTE] Aha, thanks. [QUOTE=gnomkillah;25219512]Im new to modelling in maya, but just say if you guys need a simple model. But i cant compile the models in my version its version 2011. Contact me if you need simple models on my steam acc Gnomkillah[/QUOTE] Well as mentioned in the OP, we already have to inorganic modelers that are proficient at what they do. So unless you're good at organic modeling, or great at inorganic modeling, there's really no use. Sorry.

Still searching for an organic modeler, please contact me if interested.

*Sorry if this gets double post. When I clicked post the first time I got a time out service page instead* I have 3ds Max 9 and Mudbox. I have been using 3ds Max for about 3 years now. I have a couple of questions 1. when you say "organic" what do you mean? just humans or animals or perhaps human-like creatures (aliens etc) 2. What polygon range are we to be working with? also are we to make low poly models as well as high?

I dunno anything about modeling, but what I see of your mapping work looks amazing.

Thanks :v:

Beautiful work, can't wait to see a finished product! If I come to improve upon my modeling skills I'll see what I can contribute.

What Mione said... Poly count is important. I can do pretty decent stuff in certain polycounts. Probably not enough to help you and I can't texture either. It's good to let people know about stuff like that. You may end up with people making stuff in the 100k range or the > 1000 range.

Well as quoted from the VDK: [quote]With humanoid characters, especially for multiplayer use, you shouldn't need to go over 4000 polygons to get a character that has enough detail to accurately describe the form, bend properly at the joints, and have enough edges to light properly. Of course you can have more than that, but with normal mapping, and high res textures, you shouldn't really need to.[/quote]

Excellent work, indeed. Interresting designs on the pictures aswell.

[QUOTE=themaw;25378395]Excellent work, indeed. Interresting designs on the pictures aswell.[/QUOTE] Indeed, thanks. Anyways, still searching for someone to fill the position of an organic modeler. Some other news though, we've had a coder for a bit now, 2-3 weeks. Haven't posted her in the OP though. There's also a sound effects artist on the team, another texture artist, and someone that's helping with mapping, but only the terrain (displacements).

I'm looking for a project to contribute to, I've added that name on steam, we'll talk.

Still searching for an organic modeler :smith:

nice, good luck

interesting idea a mmorpg in a first person shooter.

Out of interest what amount of playing time are we talking of here if it's a role playing game usually it's going to be long and the modeling above maybe fantastic but the question is are you really going to put that much effort into all the environments? I mean don't get me wrong you want to develop something great but time wise developing this is going to take a HUGE amount of time unless you get a good amount of experienced mappers. I'm currently studying Modeling and Animation at college believe it or not so I would've helped but I just can't see a project like this lifting off unless you have a very experienced and dedicated team. I've just realized the that Runamagic bumped this so forgive me if this project has already "died".

the idea of the mmorpg fps already exist its called borderlands lol

Moved to OP.

Bumping to post an update. As of now we've moved from a Garry's Mod gamemode to a Source modification. We've also come into contact with a proficient organic modeler and have this thus far: [URL=http://dl.dropbox.com/u/14334887/goblin_WIP.jpg][IMG]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/14334887/goblin_WIP.jpg[/IMG][/URL] There's also been a substantial amount of work done on our UI: [QUOTE] [URL=http://w15.img-up.net/Interface8ej9v.jpg][IMG]http://w15.img-up.net/Interface8ej9v.jpg[/IMG][/URL] [/QUOTE] However, the main reason for this bump is to stress that we're still in need of a proficient foliage artist to populate our map with trees, etc. Although additional inorganic artists and character artists and still open positions, more emphasis on character artists.

That is some amazing mapping and modeling. It reminds me so much of LOTRO maps, but extremely better. Good luck in finding modelers.

We're still in search of organic modelers, please get in contact with me if you're interested.

Bumping, the OP has been edited and we're still in need of an organic modeler. If anyone is interested, please respond.

Bumping, also interested in proficient inorganic modelers, are any are available and interested in this effort.
