I would like to make unusual request and see, if there is a will for cooperation on this project. We need high quality 3d models of mechs.
///So what is this project about?///
In our company, some of us are huge mechwarrior fans. So while we are doing a lot of commercial stuff, we are also working on our portfolio. For a few weeks we are already playing with idea to make a short CGI video based on mechwarrior universe.. We were discussing and researching option but we always felt to same time trap. There is not just enough quality - high poly mech models..most of them on internet sucks ..and we just don't have time to model and rig them along side of our full time paid projects.
But recently I found this section of forum and honestly, I am very surprised how many talented artists are here and showing their work.. Really awesome work over here guys. So we got a idea..What if we join with MWO community and from our project make "community project"?
We have no idea how people here will react.. but as long as we wont try, we wont know. Some of you guys are working or done some really nice mech models..so will you consider to pass these models to our team. What we will do in a short term is:
-Texture theese models (if wont be already textured) and make some high quality render tests and also make some short videos with static mech model in some nice environment.
-Rig these models (if wont be rigged) and try few tests animations.
We will put these renders to our portfolio but we will of course put name of creators to credits. Also, you, as author of the model will be allowed use our renders and videos for his own portfolio as long as he/she will credit our work
If everything will go well, we can proceed to our next step. Make short, CGI scene..preferably battle-scene.. In this stage..whole MWO community will be able to contribute.. with additional models, ideas, script or anything.. We would of course show current stage of development and inform you about our successes or problems we are facing. We can't promise you anything of course, but you have my word, we really want make this from start to finish..even if it wont be a short ride.
I understand you may or may not believe me if we are even able to do something like this..and while is fair to show you guys our work, it's a bit complicated what we can and what we can't show and we really don't want put us into some trouble(lot of customers dont want us to show beta versions of projects or even talk about what we are doing, so we are allowed to show only a few).
But I can show you at least something..
I am working for a few years with 3d graphics and this is few yours old CGI test.
for more recent work it's a bit problem.. We will make some demo reel even with footage used in commercial projects but we are not allowed to show it yet..at least not everything. But here and there, we are doing some test renders from different stuff so I uploaded few clips to my channel. But Please, keep in mind, these are just test. Using lower quality render settings, scenes,textures and materials are not polished, nor there is any sound design.. Just some tests made just in few hours each. But feel free to take a look.
Let us know what do you think.
