Re: Infinity - Job openings, possible monies.
Ok, as to the possibility of money for efforts, this comes straight from the FAQ:
Quote
I'm a developper. Can i help you ?

If you are a talented 3D artist with a lot of free time, and ready to work for free (or for a small fee), please contact me. I'm not looking for additional programmers though.

Also, Singh, the creator of Infinity really liked some of your designs, he wants to know if he can use them in the game.
He had said it,
   "Don't kid yourself pilot, we're the ones being hunted."
           He was right.  I should have listened. - unkown Terran pilot.

Re: Infinity - Job openings, possible monies.
It might be an idea to offer payment in the form of things you get free, but which have value to other people.

In-game assets, for example.

People might be more inclined to help and to pimp the game across the net if they knew they were going to get some collosal behemoth of a ship and a nice little moon near the core planets, armed to the ****ing teeth with the best weapons access to the server can buy.

A nice, unique, in-game status would probably help to. Like letting them affix a 'title of infamy' to their nick. So they'd be Baron Whatever, Inquisitor Smith or Jimmy 'Butcher Of Bakersfield' Jones.

People are more likely to support these ventures if they think at the end of it they're going to be able to lord it up over all the newbs and boast about how they remember the good ol' days of Beta, before balancing made Warlocks unplayable....

Well I'm not sure I want to join, I've got too little free time to work on a free project (but paid, hehe...:drevil:). I am a conceptual artist/3D modeler, so if you have an interest in me, take a look:

Re: Infinity - Job openings, possible monies.
Just to make myself clear, I'm not offering money, because I'm not the creator.  You would want to go to the Infinity forum and ask Flavien about being paid for your work, instead of asking me.  I'll put in a word with him about this, and see what he says, but I think you'll get better results if you contact him yourself.
He had said it,
   "Don't kid yourself pilot, we're the ones being hunted."
           He was right.  I should have listened. - unkown Terran pilot.

Re: Infinity - Job openings, possible monies.
Ok, official word from Flavien is that he is willing to hire a modeller, but he has a few conditions, namely that:

- he has to be particularly talented, and able to do texturing too
- the payment will of course not be equal to what a real company would propose.
- less creativity, and deadlines could be involved.

Anyone interested should post here, along with some of their best work, I'm going to sort through and look for the better ones to try and save Flavien some time.

Kewlio :) Well if he's interested, go ahead and contact me. I'd also be willing to donate a couple models that I've made if you want, because your project is so damn cool :D

Re: Infinity - Paid job openings, modeller needed.
the bombers in the forground are mine, I did both model and texture (as well as UV space)

here is a much clearer shot of it

here is another released pic from BWO, it's an older (uglier) model, I dislike the geometry, I had to make a lot os sacrifices when I made it, and now there comeing back to bite me, I intend to remodel this eventualy, but the textures are fairly good.


the big blue ships here I made, it's from a few years ago though, and they never used the texture sceme I wanted (meaning they are a bit more blury than I would have liked, even for the hardware of the day) it's not my design obviusly (it's from babylon 5 if somehow you don't recognise it)


I'm finding it hard to find images of my 100% pure work, as most of it went into BWO, and is thus clasified.

here are a few HTL jobs (remodeled ships, only fighters had new textures) I've done over the last few years. if you've played FS you should recognise most of these.



(note the lighting from the glow points I did by hand in the ilumination map)


not the best picture of it, but my remodeled orion

ah, here's a better one (note textureing is either WIP or altered by one or more other persons)


I tried finding a pic that showed off my changes better, but I couldn't, this is a HTL model of the GTD Golgothat, I want to make clear that the origonal design was made by Dark, but I heavaly modifyed it afterwards (as BWO development has continued through about 7 generations of graphics hardware) unfortunately you can't realy make out the changes I made to it, but that is my beam weapon graphics

oh, found one, this shows my changes better



also note, I can program, I'm the guy, who origonaly developed the renderer that FSO uses.

Honestly, I don't think anyone is counting.  Officially, yes, legal copies are the way to go, in reality, I'm not sure how many of the people currently helping with models actually paid for their programs.

Meanwhile, the style of Infinity is going to be mostly industrial human, as there are no aliens.  We currently have a large list of official concepts that we would like modelled.  If I may suggest, some of you may be more likely to get the job (or jobs, if we need more than one person), if you show us your interpretation of one of the concepts on that list (try not to use the WIP concepts).  It is up to you how much work you put into it, whether you decide to just create a simple model, or go all out and texture the model as well.  We will still look at other work, and it will still weigh heavily on our decision, but as you can understand, we'd like to chose someone capable of meeting all our expectations, and the best way to do that is by seeing an interpretation of some of our concepts.

hmmm... no

will there be any restrictions on distribution of WIP/final material?
(ie do you care if we post publicly progress in the form of imagaes and/or model files)

would you mind if these were also ported to work in FSO and used by anyone who wanted them? (restrictions applying such as anyone who uses them must mention that they were primaraly developed for your game, and includeing links to your game)

I may very well take on a few models, if I get anywere I'll clame one.

Re: Infinity - Paid job openings, modeller needed. See details; latest post.
Here's Flavien's own words when it comes to copyright of models:
Quote
Copyrights and right of use:

Any work that you do, as soon as it's "submitted" ( ie. files sent to me or another developper for use in the game ).. remains your own copyright. You will, of course, get credits for your work. However, and that's my point, you are granting us the right to use it in the game. This right is not exclusive ( you can still use your own work in any way you see fit ). You can use this work in another project. You can even sell your work. It remains yours. But, once it's submitted and integrated, you cannot ask us to remove your work from the game - and that, independently of the way this project is heading ( commercial or not ).

Why this ? Simply to avoid having somebody submit a lot of work and once it's integrated and widely used in the game, ask something else in return... or want to remove it from the game. A specific scenario that i have in mind: as you know, Infinity is a MMOG. If you are both a contributor and a player, and if you cheat or break the rules ( hopefully that won't happen, but there's still a risk ), you might get kicked or banned. This could cause some conflicts and i do not want the project as a whole to suffer from the consequences of these conflicts.

If you do not agree with this "rule", your contribution will not be accepted. But i think everybody will agree that it's quite fair both for us the developpers, and you the contributor.
