Artist's Call

farstryder · #1 November 11th, 2002, 05:17 AM

While I was surfing Posts today, an idea occurred to me. There are many out there who want quality shipsets. There are a few who have the skills to deliver. Whether its drafting the actual shipset, or architecting the AI, there are people out there with the necessary skills.

I myself have experience in making AI's. I know there are others out there. What I'm proposing is this: Artists and AI-makers get together... Make shipsets together. For each other, and for those without the ability to do either... as long as they are nice to us

Any takers? Post here with what you want/have to offer...

Interesting idea..I have a shipset, but the AI files are making me cringe.

so i suppose, if i could have a shipset, it would have to take on a gracefull, flowing look. lighter colors, such as whites, grays, and silver accents would compliment the style of their starships. their, banner, the ensign of the Rhion Hegemony, would be a striking reminder of the deep, indigo-blue oceans of Atlantis; the thin, silvered cirrus clouds of Chorios; and the soaring white towers of Rhion.

any offers?

Graceful..flowing look. Hmmm. I've only done sharp-edged and angular. I suppose it might be worth a try, though I can't do race portaits and can only do flags badly. Can you post a pic of something that looks somewhat like what you have in mind?

are you familiar with Hadrian Aventine's work? something regal in appearance... the Federal Union shipset is a prime example.

do you have any Posts of your work?

The Cluk-Ruk are available on PBW if you want to take a look at em. I never posted them here because they don't have an AI.

I have some idea's for shipsets. I have 100's of models. All I need is a way to export the models to a program to make them the correct size bmp/s for the game. Also, Race portraits, have several. Would, and will make alot more, when I figure out the DOGA to some other program problem.

I have one example;

Would be willing to send either of you some more ships, to look at. If you want.

If, my limited abilities (at present) is of interests either of you, I am game. Willing to help where I can.

Since I play only Proportions Mod, I had no time or
desire to write good "standard" AI for my races:
Pequeninos, Tholians and SoulHunters. I don't mind if abybody will make them AI for normal SEIV. You can download shipsets from Proportions homepage.
