The New Guy...

So I've been browsing over some things concerning the POTC Build Mod, and I've decided that I would like to lend my modeling abilities to the team if a modeler is welcome. I've been away from modeling for a while, since my portfolio hard drive died... But now I would like to get that portfolio started again, and seeing as you guys have stated that you're looking for members, I thought this would be a good place to start. I can model anything, though I'm not too good with 2d art. I can do it, but I'm sure that someone else can do it better. I don't currently have anything to showcase, but if you give me some direction, I'd be glad to throw something together for you to see.
 
Always happy to see a new member, especially one that has modelling experience :woot

Our two character modellers are both failing at the final hurdle of getting their models in game, they can either get them in game with texture but with animation stuffed up or vice versa :facepalm

Maybe you can give them a PM and see if between the 3 of you, you can work how to get it to work with both animation and texture :yes

They are SuperDurnius and Short Jack Gold btw ;)
 
I've messaged the two you noted, and hopefully I'll be able to help out. Though, as I told each of them, I'm much better at building models than implementing them. So I may not be much help at this stage, but if you decide you want a new model of some kind, I'm a good person for the initial geometry.

I answered your PM.

And WELCOME :cheers
 
You are most welcome, mate! Any new members are welcome,
but members with modding/modeling experience even more so, of course.
What kind of models have you made in the past? And what do you like modeling?

We have all the programs required for putting models into the game,
but we haven't yet fully figured out how it all works.
We can do ships and location models (to some extent) now.
Characters we haven't managed properly yet...

You've already gotten in touch with our modelers, so you should be in good hands.
So that leaves me to big you welcome once more and I hope you'll have a good time here. :doff
 
Thanks for the welcomes. As far as what I've modeled before, well, a little of everything I guess. I've been a hobbyist for about 7 years with 3D studio max. I don't have anything to show, I lost a hard drive recently. But I'd be glad to whip up anything you like as an example. I want to model something. :)
 
Sounds good, I think I shall add you to the group modders and if you show dedication you may make it to the new group modelers in no time (modelers is a small group of active modders who are starting work on some big projects and such ;))
 
Sounds great. I saw the post about you guys obtaining the engine, that's great! Didn't know about that until I already had an interest in joining the project, and that just makes the pot a little sweeter. I don't have CoAS, but I'd be willing to track it down if needed to be a part of this project.
 
Well, we don't actually HAVE the files yet. But they've been promised to us.

I understand you lost your files; I was just asking what types of models you've made in the past.
Or what types of models you'd like to make. Just to see if we can come up with some ideas that you might be interested in.
For example, how would you feel about making character models? Or locations? Or ships?
What would you like to do and what wouldn't you like to do?
If we have some information on that, we can point you in the direction of which information you might need. :doff
 
I think I would really like to model ships, but I'm ok with modeling whatever is needed. It seems you guys have your bases covered pretty well with ships. Another thing I would have an interest in is making videos, such as a Pirates Ahoy! intro video with some motion and effects, or cut scene videos. Those tend to be large projects, but the reward is great. Outside of modeling, I have some music authoring abilities as well, nothing great, but I think I could pull off piratey music.
 
Welcome aboard matey!

If you're looking for some subjects of inspiration about ships, here are some small useful links, but i'm pretty sure the modelers group will furnish you plenty of those! Have fun among us! :cheers

Well, if it's ships you'd like to do, don't let anyone stop you.
Indeed we do have several other ship modelers and personally I'm more interested in characters/locations now,
but you should do what you like to do, not what anyone tells you to.
 
My biggest interest is doing what Pirates Ahoy! needs the most to advance this build or any other project. I have a dream of working for a development company, and as a modeler for a big company, I would not likely have my choice, so I'm already in that mindset. Please, use me how you need me. :)
