because the only thing texture artists were waiting on was someone to make a post with a bunch of exclamation marks.

Whats in it for me?  Well I dont get paid I do this because I like to and

 Because I get a say so in building a kick A$$ MOD

Hello,

Firstly, I would like to start of by saying that if you would like to see the progress of our mod, please visit this thread: https://forums.sinsofasolarempire.com/177748 

Now that I have that out of the way, The 3D program that I use for the mod is 3DS Max 7.  Riser, our other artist works in Sketchup.  Here are a few shots of our models that need textures.

poly count is high, lol.  Best I can give you right now as I am in the process of updating the mesh.

whoa have you ever heard of bumpmaps

Have fun UV-mapping the last one. Good model, I like the details. Some of those could have been done with the bump-mapping instead of actual geometry though. Keeps the poly count down.

Well, you can always treat this as a high-poly model, then bake the normal map onto a low poly model, that's how it's usually done unless you use a sculpting solution. That way you get rid of all the excess polygons and minute detail geometry AND you don't get to spend two years UV mapping every little quad on the high-poly version. And the look remains pretty much the same.

P.S. Not sure what adding holes in piers has to do with bump-mapping, can you elaborate?

Ok let me clarify for everyone that this is a non-paying postion. Also for all other modders , and or texture artists out there,  I would be willing to do some coding  work on a trade basis for texture work.   So that being said do you need the expertise of a code monkey and know how to texture but not code????   Lets talk !!!   We will scratch your back if you scratch ours !!!  contact me
