3D modeller looking for a good time..

[AlectoSpleen]

Hello!

Recently, I have finally managed to obtain some free time in my days and I am interested to start trying to mod Dawn of War. Since Im totally inept when it comes to coding, no point in trying that, but I do have alot of experience doing 2D/3D work. Besides.. my current job has been creating environment tiles for a upcoming stratagy game, but I got a few months of spare time ahead of me and, to be honest, im bloody sick of creating terrain I prefer doing character/object modelling so Im hoping to find a team out there somewhere that would be interested in having some models created for their mod.

I have always wanted to try re-creating some of the warhammer models in 3D, but never had the incentive to do it (Usually to much other stuff going on : \ ) so if anybody wants a hand, I got one to lend

If you want to see some examples of my work, I got a webpage which has a few 2D peices, and pretty boring 3D things (the page is still very much in creation, and the 3D part currently exists as a place to share tiles that have been created for this game, but since we got the ftp up and running, the 3D stuff is pretty old and boring.. I'll post up a few screens of some models I have done in a sec.. just gotta nab them off cd

My webpage, for any interested. www.alectospleen.com

*edit* oh yes.. and Im pretty good at texture mapping as well if people are interested, but I considering texturing to be more of a chore than a joy.

Hmm : \ Unfortunatly all I have access to at this moment is a work in progress model I was messing about with a few months ago. All of my other current works are protected :\
I'll try my best to hunt around on some of my backup cd's..

Yes, the model below is high poly (35,000) and I primarily stick to high poly modelling.. but I love doing low poly work when I get the chance


The modeling is close to being done.. primarily texturing and rigging remain

Detail shot on the face. This is just a quick render I tossed together, so feel free to ignore some of the wacky shadows

God damn, that's good

While I'm confident in my vehicle modeling abilities, good looking humans seem to escape me.

so can you take crappy cartoon characters and turn them into cool 3d models?

BFG mod is always looking for new modellers but we are creating large spaceships, and new worlds etc. If you want to look at some of our stuff check out the large thread:

However, if you want to create unit based (i.e. people) i'd go for some of the more interesting mods. Imperial guard mod looks promising, there are plenty of other mods lurking around here. Very nice models btw. Espically liked the terrian shot on your site, i've done lots of terrian for nwn and know how difficult it is getting it look natural.

The Necron mod looks for modellers,too!!!!!!!!!
Just take a look here: http://clanforums.relicnews.com/viewtopic.php?t=3359

There are only real cool units left to model(Nighbringer,Pariahs...!!) so you might have some fum modelling them!!

Thanks cassa! ^_^

TheBladeRoden - It took me quite awhile before modelling humans just sorta.. clicked with me. Im pretty used to modelling off drawings so I could probably do something like that.

Mr.Guybrush - Your mod sounds like it should be pretty sweet I also really loved some of the models you guys are creating for it! Well yes, its true I prefer character modelling, I would get pretty bored of it if thats all I did all the time. Depending on how things go and such, I think it would be fun to try my hand at one of the models in your mod. I'll be sure to stop by your thread and say hi if I manage to scrounge up some time.
Somebody on here called Warlok informed me to check out the Imperial Guard mod, so I definitly wanted to check that out.

and thanks for your comments! I can definitly agree with a hearty shudder on the difficulty of nature tiles. : \ (Im a huge fan of NWN.. )

ThrowN - Thanks for the heads up! Your teams mod is looking really nice so far. Im currently hunting down some Necron reference so I can see the units your talking about, afterwhich I will PM you. Im assuming that theres probably some sort of list existing on your clan forum regarding what models have yet to be created?

Thanks again everybody!

P.S. How do you people find burried topics or other users on here? O_o Since the search has been disabled, are there any tricks people use? Or do they just suck it up and search?

take alook around and contact Nocturne, he is our "leader" by now,though he hadn't have much time the last couple of days so he might give you access to the private forums

[AlectoSpleen]

chewy - Thats bloody brilliant O_o Thanks!

tFighterPilot - Its a level 2 mesh smooth

ThrowN - Thanks a ton for the links! Those will come in handy I really like the look of the Nightbringer and the Flayed Ones. I think I would have a lot of fun trying my hand at one of those
