3D Artist Needed (paid)

#21 Adams emphasis is definately "next gen" and high poly, Hamad.

The quote I gave earlier was for a 1500 poly model with a single diffuse map at 512 pixel resolution. It should not take an experienced Artist more than two or three working days (16-24 hours) to do that.

However I am not sure you understand the implications of a normal map.
Normalmaps are not just a 2d images drawn by texture Artist. You need a modeller to create a highpoly (up to cinematic quality) model and then raycast its normals information onto the lowpoly model.
Which means that the introduction of normalmaps had a significant impact on production cost.

I would advise every Indie and modder to stay away from normal mapping. Its gonna cost way more than you think if you outsource it, and it will take up so much time you could spend on other things if you do it yourself.

#22 Thanks everyone so much for the help, i now understand

#24 No thanks, someone took the job, he will do the models, texture and with normal map (highpoly to lowpoly), and also animation, he will do it for $200

#25 All that for $200? I hope for his sake he works inhumanly fast.

#26 No $200 for each model

#27 $200 for a model? what's the deadline? one model/year?

Keep us posted on development. I would really like to see what it will look like once done.

STef

#28 No, a month

sure ill show models ones their done

#29 Any updates on the models? just wondering.

#30 $200 is pretty low

I wouldn't take less than $5,000 per next gen character (without animations).. up and down depending on specs...

You may want to just scour the boards for people looking to join a mod team just for the sake of working on something...

#31 @Jonathan, I was cleaning my subscribed topics and found this one.
There has never been provided any update on the models, so I'm guessing nothing serious when out from that real *bargain*.
I still need to be proved I'm wrong! ;)

#32 Oh wow - I didn't check the dates on the posts previous.. totally old thread :P
