Howdy, I want to finish a game I have had in the works for a couple of years. But I am completely horrible at modeling. I am trying to find somebody who would be willing to do the models for me. They would have to be in MD2 format. All I can offer is your name in the credits. This game is being made strictly for my youngest daughter. I will not even be releasing it as freeware. I will send you a copy of the game when it is finished, and I will try and send a few copies to people here at CCN. Other than that, it will not be distributed. It will be a 3D first person Children's game. No violence at all. I plan to work on this strictly in my spare time. ------------------ Brice Lost Reflections -- When your life comes crumbling down around you, can you count on the one person who has never been there for you?

I'm not a modeler, so I won't even attempt to try my hand at it.  However, there's a site with tons of MD2 models called Polycount. You may have already heard of it. There's a bunch of MD2 models from various modelers there. The only issue might be that they may not fit well into a children's game (you know how those crazy Quake people are  ), but there are some really nice ones there still. Hope this helps!

Yeppers, Polycount is a good resource. But like you said, not too much that fits into a children's game. However, if you see something there that you like, I encourage people to contact the author of the model. It has been my experience they will usually let you use the model in your game. I got permission to use a scarecrow model from there in my game. ------------------ Brice Lost Reflections -- When your life comes crumbling down around you, can you count on the one person who has never been there for you?

As I stated I am doing this for my youngest daughter. I am more than willing to sign over all rights/ownership to this game to whoever helps with the modeling so you can market it in any way that you wish and try to make some $$ off of it. ------------------ Brice Lost Reflections -- When your life comes crumbling down around you, can you count on the one person who has never been there for you?

I can do some modeling, but the animation part of it is the hard part. What type of models are you seeking? It might be suitable for a few people with 3D skill to get together and help you on this to provide you with the final product. Personally, I have little time as it is, but with some help I think it could be done. Matt |

Actually all models are static. What I need ranges from a carrot, milking stool, bucket, to a few animals, a few trees (made of primitives, ala MArio 64 style) and a couple of funny looking, but very simple, critters I have drawn. Unfortunately with my modeling talent, I would stand a better chance of solving world hunger and bringing about world peace than creating a usable model Everything would need to be in MD2 format with BMP skins. If anybody is willing to help, I can provide a detailed list and scan the couple of drawings I did. This should be really simple stuff for anybody good at modeling. ------------------ Brice Lost Reflections -- When your life comes crumbling down around you, can you count on the one person who has never been there for you?

Howdy, I may be your man, depending on your deadline. I know 3d but have not done any in the file format you descrive. We would just have to figure out the logistics. If you have the patience to guide me, I can come up with cool 3d geometry for you. I am not sure where to start, I use Lightwave. Send me an email. |

Feo, Chances are you'll need to export your .lwo as .3ds and be sure your normals are correct. If you need any plugins check out www.flay.com for a lwo-to-3ds. www.polycount.com should have a MD2 tool for you. Look in the Quake2 tools and resources section. If you can't find anything let me know. Brice might have the utilities also(?). Matt PS - welcome to CCN [This message has been edited by Nfektious (edited August 13, 2002).] |

quote: Wowzers, thanks FEO!! Between you and Nfektious (if he can help) I should be set. I have no deadline. When its done, its done I an not a modeler, so I cannot tell you the best way to get from LWO to MD2. The extent of my capabilities is converting animated 3DS/X to animated MD2 and that took me forever to figure out My brain is pretty fried tonight, so I will give you an email tomorrow morning BTW, welcome to the board!! ------------------ Brice Lost Reflections -- When your life comes crumbling down around you, can you count on the one person who has never been there for you?

I'm tied up at the moment. But I could lend some help with a couple of models in the near future. Hey Nfektious did you notice on the LWOtoMD3 page under docs? I'd forgotten all about it... http://members.bellatlantic.net/~mbristol/utils/lwotomd3.html BlazeQ ------------------ |

Thanks for those links Nfektious. They are very interesting, I could spend weeks on those two sites. Lostreflections, I didn't hear from you. Send me the details or post them here if you prefer. I check my email more often than I surf the web, that is why I was telling you to email them to me. [This message has been edited by feo (edited August 15, 2002).] |
