I need 4 characters animated in a few ways. I would need to see some work examples. If interested, email bobj@charter.net for more info.

Since these types of requests are seldom allowed here, you'd probably be required to provide more information for the mods to make this an exeption.

How serious is this contract period? Payment etc?

4 Characters modelled and animated is going to cost you more than just some lunch money, so I hope you're aware of that. There might be a few interested on this forum.

Also, I'm assuming you'll be wanting fairly high quality models, as you can definitely expect to get interested applicants who've only been modelling for 2 months.

Is there a proper place to post this request? I have paid for models before. If you remember guyS (Guy Savioe), he is one example.

I don't really think there's an offical "proper" place to post a request like this (Apart maybe from 3D Chat, which isn't very visited). You can leave this up here and see what the mods/admin think of it for now.

Mmmm...that's not the best endorsement. The default DB pro editor has "issues" that will never be resolved due to his mysterious disappearance. With GuyS comes much wailing and gnashing of teeth

Now the screenshots on your site show more promise, looks like an interesting project.

You don't know why Guy left, but I do. I will not discuss more than to say, he was justified in his decision.

Maybe this will help too. I had a modeler, that was not associated with DB, that worked with me for about 3 years on a paid basis. I will not disclose how much I paid Guy, or this person (Gerhard Oosthuizen from Pretoria South Africa- pronounced "Ferhard wystasion") but it was in the hundreds US $.

Well I'm prepared to vouch for Bob, but I'll move this to 3D chat.

Ok, I give up. Delete this post. I can find modelers that I can pay. I just hoped that someone here wanted a chance.

?? you didnt wait very long, alot of modellers are on a different time zone. I for one just regained internet connections.

what kind of models, specs etc are you looking for? I can do some character modeling and animation myself.

You giveup without the thread even being up for one day?

I'm pretty sure a few people would have wanted the chance to work - if you'd have given them enough time to wake up/comeback from work so they could see this thread. : /

You waited 32 minutes and gave up? From the time I've spent here...it can take a couple days just for a post to appear in a newer thread.


I hate you. You hate me. Trust me, we both know it...no need to let me know everytime we meet.

The responses on this thread were a bit agressive to start with, please calm down when people ask to join teams, or to make models.

Bob, this could have been avioded had you made this thread look professional, if people are going to work for money, they will want a professional feel from the person, whether or not they are professional, but makes it look trust worthy, plus give more time. If I was convinced that this would be worth looking into, the post would have been like;

"Hello, I am Hugh Jass and am working on a project, yet I am short of 3D modellers, most of the media has been covered, yet I am willing to pay a fair price for a single 3D modeller, my contact details are provided.

hugh.jass@gmail.com

What is needed:
I need a reasonably experienced character modeller who can animate and texture their work and also create them looking realistic. Required file format integrated needed are 3ds and .x. The artist will need to be able to 3D model 4 characters with the animations I will provide listed in an email. These characters will be needed at with a medium number of polygons, approximately 1000-3000 polies per character.

I will be will to pay £300 - £400 for all for characters if completely as satisfactory models.

To apply send in sample work, details of your experience and details of the tool kit you use to the email address above.

For information on my project visit.

www.thehughjassproject.co.uk

Then I would have though, ah yes, I could do with that money and he seems reasonable enough and I want to model for him, for me, a small post and a vouch from a mod and your attitude regarding dedication (oh I give up after one day) isn't enough to convince me that I wouldn't be wasting my time, I myself am the kind of person who would be interested in this offer, I would say no anyway, simply because I am too busy with things that are more important to me. (And Gordon Brown yells, something more important than money?! You must be crazy?! Yeeehaaaaww) But I am not the only one who would be discouraged by this thread.

I vouched that Bob would pay, the media would be used, and the project finished. Did I vouch that Bob would wait long enough for someone here to offer?, no.

Maybe next time there will be more time and more info provided - but let's not get bent out of shape over this, it's just the way it is when your in a hurry.

I don't see any agressive posts in here at all. I personally think I was very patient.

I wanted to keep the post short and said I would give more info to anyone possibly interested. I gave up without giving anyone a chance to respond because of the responces I was getting. If anyone still wants to respond, I will reply. email bobj@charter.net See my site www.distantstarproductions.

Never said you did, just saying that a vouch from a mod for me isn't enough.

Bobj, most people on this forum will see lack of info and go nope, this isn't serious and turn away, which is why it is a good idea to at least provide the amount I suggested, because you can imagine how people will go on the internet go 'I want 4 character models and I'll pay you' they give the models and then no money, so people won't give it a second glance. I'm sure you're a pretty trust worthy guy and everything, but at first glance its not so visible and an extended post usually stops that, if you're in a hurry, I would post later.

Also, I would edit your post with any info you can, so people will see it on first glance.

Sorry if anything I have said sounds aggresive, but they're not


I looked at your website, and the game looks great and best of luck finding what you need.

A certain amount of trust is needed on both sides. If the person doing the work is in the US it's easier, if not, there are wire transfer fees and making many payments is not nice. If the person is in the US I pay for each model separately with 1/2 up front and 1/2 when done for each model. If a wire transfer fee is required I would not want to make more than two transfers unless another arrangement can be made.

hi , Bobj , i can do it if you want .
you got some of my latest 3d models on this topic :
http://forum.thegamecreators.com/?m=forum_view&t=83694&b=3
here is my latest normal mapped model

please consider that i do better work at each models , and the gray one is nearly one month old .
the only thing is the delay : i'll start your models when i'll have finished the ones i'm making ( next week for sure ) and they will be ready for the end of the month , because i don't have only those models to do , and i want each model to be as better as possible

for each model , i can do
- clean mesh modelling , with specified polycount
- UVWing
- diffuse + specular texture
- normal mapping texture ( like for the gray one )

you can send me a brief of what you want for each model , right there : francois-ruiz@caramail.com

i'd take about 27$ a model , depending on international change
( full payment once you got the model )
if you'd have a bank account , i can send you my bank coordinates , then , you can pay me by net , it would be easier .
