3D Modelers and 3D Animation Gurus

[Scatter]

I have a nasty feeling that finding what is needed for this will prove more difficult than finding the c++ programmers at the start of the project. Hopefully you will prove me wrong...

All 3D modeling will be done in 3D Studio Max. We will need:

- A person to model the players and umpires, plus player equipment like helmets, hats, bats, clothing and other apparel.
- People to animate those models.
- One or two people to help me with the stadiums and peripheral objects like stumps etc.

We will need to get started on these fairly soon, as they will need to be ready for the testing of the 3D engine, and so I can start organising the texture mappers (which I did in arse about fashion by starting that thread first : ).

Usual procedure applies, let us know in here what you can do, and then add me to your MSN Messenger contacts using [email protected] (remove the NOSPAM).

This game will take years to complete, you know that right?

actually squiz - you would be surprised if you knew where we were really at after such a short space of time... very surprised...

and it doesnt matter how long it takes, we are in it for the long haul

I hope that once the things started to work.Every thing will move on swiftly.

By seeing the entusiasum fo people I think ,the game would take less time than it expectations.

i have 3d studio max...but unfortunatley am still learning how to use it properly...I would really like to be apart of this game but my current skill and knowledge of this program isnt good enough...

I played the game "Revolt", and looked up a Revolt forum, I found that on there, there were quite a few modelers on there, creating cars and stuff. Maybe you could browse some other forums, not just CRICKET and ask for there help there?

I'm like you motorv8ed, I have 3ds Max 6 but, have no idea what I'm doing. I have Bryce 5, TrueSpace and some open source one as well. I have used Poser 4, but don't have it anymore.

I would love to work on the models, but have a severe lack of knowledge when it comes to 3ds Max...anyone got a pdf manual? Or links to some basic tutorials?

http://www.cgtalk.com/ - a great forum. There is a team projects forum, so if you posted there for help on this game you might get some people who could model for you. (If you have a look at the finished 3D work, some of it is marvelous!)

This should keep you busy for a while

Thanks JoeDoe, I'll check them out.
