Title: Need a texture artist for some minor work
Post by: IceFire on July 05, 2004, 08:18:25 pm: Ok...now that were over here on HLP, we really need the help of a talented texture artist to help us with some of our new ships and some older FS2/FS ships that we're using that need some touchups.

The work is relatively minor (no UV mapping required, most textures already have a basis, just need some touchup) and it won't last terribly long either. We're in the process of being finished so we need the help of one or two others to get us through this last little bit.

What kind of touchups, specifically? I doubt I'm qualified, but I'm curious...

Modification or total repaints of the Apollo, Valkyrie, Medusa, and Perseus classes. Also...any touch ups to some of our new (and classified) spacecraft :)

It will be a real blast to fly these CENZORED ships like CENZORED and I always wanted to have a CENZORED flag on the side of my ship.

Also sounds promising...the guy is pretty stretched thin these days but I have to ask him about using his weapon effects too so hey... :)

Try having a look at the staff list (http://dynamic4.gamespy.com/~freespace/hlp/project_show.php?pro=30&cat=5) on the hlp site.

Post by: Gloriano on July 09, 2004, 08:10:58 am: So did you guys get anybody help in textures?
I wish that I could help but I'am not texturer, but I can say good luck.
Title: Need a texture artist for some minor work
Post by: Bobboau on July 11, 2004, 09:23:32 pm: I just had a thought, why not use one of the dump models like the SOL AWACS or the SMB Magni that we didn't use solely becase I couldn't come up with a good texture for them? it would be fair and no posability of people cheating, and upon the first sucsesfull texture job we'd already have material from the person. UV maps have already been made for both of these (though there not the greatest) so who ever takes this on wouldn't need to know how to do that (though it would be helpful) and people would get access to some internal material, though only people who apply.

how's that sound Icey?

Post by: Trivial Psychic on August 11, 2004, 03:59:17 pm: Looks somewhat Narn-ish in shape. Would be even more so in red rather than green.
