Kiselena Posted Thursday at 04:03 Report Share Posted Thursday at 04:03 Hi everyone! May name is Elena, I'm from Kazakhstan. I've got through the participation guide on the official website, and I still have some concerns about how to join the project... I am excited about 0 A.D. setting and I want to try myself in game artwork development. I have experience with blender and Maya and I have someone to explain me about git if needed. What are my next steps? Should I just go through the manuals here: https://trac.wildfiregames.com/#Forartists and grab some task myself? Or should I contact someone and have some task assigned? Looking forward for some guidance, Best regards, Elena 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not ready to develop characters, since I have no experience in this field at all. Building development is a priority, but I also don't mind working on weapons or ships.

We need props and buildings, I don't know how we're doing with the ships. We are creating a new faction and we are missing props and some weapons and shields. I don't know if you noticed that everything is low poly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t have much experience working on projects, but I really want to learn. That's why I'm ready to take on even small tasks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stan` Posted Thursday at 06:33 Report Share Posted Thursday at 06:33 Do you have a portfolio somewhere? But yeah basically you could try making lods for props or improving existing ones You should clone the nightly build (this way you don't have to worry about building the game or lfs etc) If you do want to learn git to make your own patch, that's fine as well, else if you make something good I or @wowgetoffyourcellphone will commit it for you. @nifa might have some tips for you on how to get started. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's simple, you just do what you know, we will guide you. Do what your mind and knowledge know how to do. If you want, let's start with a Germanic sword. I don't think we have anything like that. It is very similar to the Celtic Spatha. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nifa Posted Thursday at 12:40 Report Share Posted Thursday at 12:40 Hi @Kiselena, welcome to the forums! Sure it might need some patience but it's definately possible to contribute, especially since you already have some knowledge. 8 hours ago, Kiselena said: What are my next steps? Should I just go through the manuals here: https://trac.wildfiregames.com/#Forartists and grab some task myself? Or should I contact someone and have some task assigned? You're free to take on any task you like. Just need to know what your interest are in terms of history, like what civilizations you like and what field of 3D modelling you are familiar with. Since you're from Kazakhstan, if you're interested in central asian civs, maybe these are for you: https://wildfiregames.com/forum/topic/22832-faction-nomads-xiongnu/#comment-337459 https://wildfiregames.com/forum/topic/20550-civ-scythians/#comment-314106 https://wildfiregames.com/forum/topic/108392-art-needed-remaining-nomadic-structures/#comment-557439 I've only worked with blender, don't know about maya. Most of the time the process is building a basic mesh, UV unwrapping, texturing, maybe with gimp e.g. I don't have that much experience with the last especially. In case of organic assets (statues, sculptures, animals etc) I had to do some highpoly building, sculpting, LP Retopology, Normal Map Baking, Procedural Materials and Diffuse Baking. How familiar are you with these? I could try to find a task that fits you then. No worries, I had zero experience when I started not that long time ago 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lion.Kanzen Posted Thursday at 17:36 Report Share Posted Thursday at 17:36 There is quite a bit to do here, we already have some shields but not all of them. We need props. I don't know if all the ships are here. All the ones we need. The Germans are the next faction to debut. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
real_tabasco_sauce Posted Thursday at 21:07 Report Share Posted Thursday at 21:07 Actually for the Germans, the biggest issue is the market. We have suffficient props to make the units look different and even unique. It’s by no means game breaking, but the current market is really too large and visually similar to the arsenal building. If you would like to work on buildings, @wowgetoffyourcellphone could point you in the right direction, although I think some difficulties arose last time it was worked on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hello again Sorry, I didn't think there was a message limit on this forum. Can I show you an example of sword you nedeed? I can do more complicated things, but it's still difficult for me to understand what exactly is nedeed. Point out errors to me and i will try to correct it. And no, I haven't crated a portfolio anywhere yet, I can only attach examples of what I've been working on last time The style of these projects is different from yours, but I would like to work on something more realistic. nordic_sword3.blend 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stan` Posted 4 hours ago Report Share Posted 4 hours ago Message limit was lifted. Sorry about that Quote And no, I haven't crated a portfolio anywhere yet, I can only attach examples of what I've been working on last time The style of these projects is different from yours, but I would like to work on something more realistic. It's okay. It's usually useful to know what your level might be . Thanks for sharing it. You need to sign this Else we cannot use whatever assets you make. @wowgetoffyourcellphone might have buildings that need to be done, this might be more interesting than making a sword.
