Ready to join as an artist

Hi friends. I see you have got not so much artists here. To stimulate your development I’m ready to join as an artist. But I need a good description of what you want. I hope I can be useful for you.

My last works were paintings: http://forum.intilinux.com/mypaint-finished-work/open-robot-project/

At present i’ve been studying java and glsl, but my programming skills are not so good yet. I hope i’ll be useful in art content for a while.

I think i’ll be able to make 1-3 models per week.

BUT I NEED A DESCRIPTION OF EVERY MODEL YOU NEED.

Good news and nice art! let’s make concepts or 2 races. Monkeys and humans.

What tools are you using?

I use mypaint and gimp.

atomix · March 17, 2011, 1:39pm

I use PS 4 for painting and 3dsmax for modeling …

I can use Blender too but if it not my only choice i prefer max for the ease of use!

mifth · March 17, 2011, 1:52pm

:p

wow man, those are really something :)

How good you are at texturing?

atomix · March 18, 2011, 11:43am

@iamcreasy : My painting skill is quite fine so of course I can do the texture too …

Like @mifth said :

I really want know the detail document of the character designing for Monkey Zone … ?

Is there a plot (ect…) already … ???

My skype acc is : say_i_love_you_4ever . <= You guys can add me if you want to chat !

normen · March 18, 2011, 11:56am

There is no plot and no specific story or anything either, first step will simply be multiplayer gameplay without any story elements. Visually/stylewise I’d say I give mifth / you guys the lead here, of course nehons existing Buggy and HoverTank model styles should be considered so the whole thing doesn’t look like its patched together from turbosquid Testing new assets in MonkeyZone is really easy, you just have to prepare them in jMP and add physics etc. and then replace the model name in the code or use worldManager.addNewEntity(assetPath, location, rotation) in ServerGameManager.

Awesome to see you all interested and contributing! Now that SpiderMonkey is being fixed I am sure I get back to development very very soon.

normen · March 18, 2011, 11:58am

Ah, forgot to say, to get an impression of the original game, you can download a windows7 compatible version of the 1998 original here: http://www.battlezone1.net/home/page_7/index.html

atomix · March 18, 2011, 12:40pm

Yaeh , it’s getting hotter … Let’s the monkey drive crazy and kill some space creature !

nehon · March 18, 2011, 1:00pm

Hey guys nice to see there are people getting into MonkeyZone design.

For now we have 3 models really, the Hover tank, the buggy, the Recycler (a WIP by Iwsquad).

They need some changes (the tank normal maps need to be red inverted, the buggy has it’s wheels reverted when making it a physic vehicle, and the recycler needs to be finished).

The color of those assets are grayish because i was planning to be able to add some kind of color overlay (like red, green , blue) depending on the “team” the vehicle is on.

The vehicles needs to look futuristics

I was thinking of making some kind of trooper (would look like a marine, but with some kind of futuristic combat suit).

I’m really bad at drawing, what i usually do it looking for some pictures in google, to get inspiration, then open blender and start from the default cube.

But since you guys seem to be hot on conceptualizing let’s do it

Please make a thread for each model idea, so we can post concept arts/remarks/ideas/wip etc…in the appropriate thread.

Then we can decide who’s is doing what.
