After a few request I thought opening a forum post for all to see and request media for FPSC. So let me lay it out for you on requesting media.
Request need to be as follows:
1) Description: A good description of the model by pic or something similar. This would be all models like weapons, characters, segments, items and so on.
Saying it's a model that looks like something you saw last week by your trash can is not a description as I don't live at your house.
2) Animations: Will it be animated and how does it need to work? These are question that go hand in hand with a good description.
3) Textures: What kind of texture will it need for your game. Meaning dos it need grunge, blood or a clean texture.
4) Time: How long before you need it? Please remember I am only one person, so I may need to get one of the other artist to help you if time is an issue.
5) Scripting: This is an important one, as I do not do my own scripting all the time. So having one made to fit your models needs can be done, but may not be done by me. I have Ched do most of my scripts and if I have to use him for your scripts it will cost you.
6) Commercial or Non-Commercial: If you want to sell a model made by me for you you will have to buy it from me. This doesn't always apply to a simple model, but it will for a complex model. If you want to give it away after you buy it from me or give away a free model made for you, I will allow that.
If you want to do a trade for a model instead of money, you will still be able sell it. As I had agreed to take the trade. The model would be your to do as you please.
Now if I make a model and the decision is that I sell it in the store to make up for the work I did on that model, then you no longer have the rights to that model. Which means you cannot give it away or sell it. Each model will vary according demand and complexity.
7) Prices: Due to the fact that I cannot always give away my models all the time. I do sometimes have to charge for the work I do. Don't worry I will not break the bank. Prices will go as follows:
(1) Simple models like a crate or barrel-w/wo textures, no animations -- Free
(2) Moderate models like a boat, segment, food, etc- w/wo textures, w/wo animations -- Free to $10 (again will be base on the model)
(3) Complex models like weapons and characters-w/wo textures and animations -- Free to $20 (again based on the model)
8) Participation: If you request a model and do not particpate in the production of that model, then that model will either not be created or it will be completed and sold in the store.
Particpation means that the requester acknowledges the wip screenies and download. This will allow me to understand the importance of the model. If the requester shows no interest in the model to be created or even to comment they have receive the model after the download, then future model requests from that particular requester(s) will be ignored.
If you can handle all of that, then I look forward to your request and comments.
I will be using this post as to update you on things I am working on for both the TGC store and for models requested. Also if there is a model pack of mine that you might have missed that you would like to have, you can check my website for the pack. The site is is updating so bare with me.
Now for what I have been doing for the store. Some of you have already seen the new traffic lights I have recently added to the store, but for those that haven't, here they are again.

I have added two more models to the store, but they are still waiting for approval. These vents are animated. One to simulate air coming through it and the other uses Bond's animated shader to blink lights on and off.

Currently I am working on updating some of my old models and pack. Sometime ago I made a floating brain. Many of you don't remember it, so I made before and afer pic to show how I have improved it. The new brain will be going into the store after the first of the year, but I still have somethings to fix and add. One of which is a better weapon effect and more animations. But for now enjoy the preview. I have added ragdoll which is better than the death animation, but it has one for those that feel the ragdoll is to real. This guy will come with two different textures, one pink and one gray. Both work great with Bond's Viral shaders textures will be included for the effect that I wanted. I had to distort the mesh a bit to get rid of the realism. My wife felt it was to real for kids to blow up and also might cause some to be sick.

Now I have been working on some new hands for new weapon for the brain. Why does a brain need hands, well they don't but the player will. The plasma that the brain uses as a weapon will be able to be used by the player. So I needed my own hands in which I could make the new weapon. What I have planned for this weapon will be great. I can't show you the whole thing right now, but I can show you the new arm.
I hope this new post gets your ideas flowing in. Now I have had to pass on a few request like people asking for my aliens pack and work in x10. I use x9 so keep that in mind. If someone wants a model for x10 it will need to be done by someone with x10. Sorry for the inconvience.
Everything else is fair game including converting models for UDK and Unity. Keep in mind when requesting for media if you do not have a model pack don't ask me to convert it. Make sure I can verify you own the pack, but also bear in mind I cannot always make it convert in the way it is in FPSC. Somethings like Model Pack 9&10 have to many bones for UDK and will need to be re-animated to work. That is based on my latest test.
As always Enjoy!
Just for those that want to play with the old floating brain it is in the download. i can't promise that it still works, but enjoy the old guy none the less.
