Hi guys,it's my first post at this forum but I was browsing the forum for a while and found some nice piece of art so I want to say congratulations to all the guys and good luck to your projects.

I am a graduate of computer animation and along with some friends we are working on a RPG game.I have created some models in Maya,and we are going to animate them in 3d canvas(because I can't find a way to export animation from maya to direct-x).Also we are using Carrara in order to create the pre-rendrered backgrounds.We decided to create pre-rendrered backgrounds because we are not that experienced in programming with dark basic and it looks very difficult to program a real time 3d game.

So we are about to choose between scrolling 2d backgrounds like Quest for the Glory 5ragonfire,or isometric backgrounds ala Diablo.But if we find an experienced Dark Basic programmer we can change to real time 3d.

At the moment we are 4 guys,I'm dealing with modelling and animation,another guy is helping me with graphics and is programming too,a girl who has graduated in computer graphics is helping us with creating textures and sketches for reference in modelling and another guy who is composing the music.But any help will be wellcome,in any aspect of the game.So let's make a synopsis:

Programs used for grafics: Maya,Carrara,3d Canvas(but of course you can use any program you are comfortable with,if you have an x exporter.

Graphics Style:3d models,pre-rendred background(but this is a matter of change)

Scenario:Based on Dark Ages,somewhere at Balkans(Yugoslavia probably),it will be insprired by Mysticism,Alchemy,Demonology,Bible,Greek Philosophy(we have quite a few knowledge about these subjects)

Hero:The hero will look like Teuton,I will try to create something like HHH if any of you are watching WWE.

Enemies:Everything about Slavic and Hebrew mythology,and some original too.But the scenario will be mostly focused on Vampires.

The design progress is still at the begining but we are quite ambitious to create something with the feeling of Quest fot the Glory or Ultima series.Some day I'm going to attach some pics of both models and backgrounds.

Hey, I think you might get flamed for this... That's how it is around here. But I'd love to help you. I use maya 6.5. It sounds like you've got a pretty good team going. I'd love to help you out. I'm mainly a modeler but I am learning DBP. You can check out my game in the WIP section if you want. Is there some kind of forum where you all get together?

show some acrogress of design documents, already done work and concept work and I can tell you alot more people will want to jump on board.


i can say this and be where you are...

"I WANT my game to be like WoW... We have a few people who also expressed intrest and have a background in 3d art. This will probably be how it looks, were using these programs. I also WANT our game to rock and be a best seller."

we all want our game to be ala diablo ect, show some proof of actual progress so i know im not wasting my time like every other game devvelopment project ive ever helped out on.

(except lets hope ED isnt slipping thru the cracks)

Guys thanks for the replies,I'm going to post tomorrow in WIP and attach some screenshots.Good luck!
