Degrotepeter Posted May 21, 2012 Report Share Posted May 21, 2012 Position: Texture Artist, 3d Artist, Video EditorDo you understand that Wildfire Games is a non-commercial project, work for 0 A.D. is volunteer, and work is done for free?YesDo you agree to distribute all your work for Wildfire Games under [url="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/"]Creative Commons Attribution Share-Alike license[/url]?YesName:Peter Erinkveld.Email:peter.erinkveld@gmail.comMSN Messenger:petererinkveld5@hotmail.comLocation:Arnhem, The NetherlandsAvailability: Evenings, weekends. And all day starting from 23th of JuniHow many hours per week on average do you think you'll have for Wildfire Games? What about 6 months from now?For now, about 8 hours a week, mainly in the evenings and weekends. In 6 months I think I will be available for about 12 hours a week.Age:20.Occupation:I am a student. And currently on an internship. Skills and Experience:I study Communication & Multimedia Design. So the study basicly covers all forms of media. But you can focus on specific forms of media later on in your study, which I will tell more about in my motivation.During my study I have worked on a game project. Which was a RPG based around teddy bears. I hope to get some videos/ screenshots online, but I do not have a lot of content to show at the moment. This project covered 8 weeks. In which we managed to make a pretty good game with 39 people working 8 hours a day 5 days of the week. No one had any experience in making content for games aside from 8 weeks of courses in 3d, sound design and gameplay we had before the project started.Motivation:To come back at the game project. I absolutely loved that period of my study. I was member of the art team, and responsible for making a lot of art assets. I was the only member in the team who made complete assets from start to finish. This included modelling, texturing and a bit of animating. I was fascinated by making individual art assets which ultimately formed a world where the game took place.Right now I am on an internship at Media Republic, based in Amsterdam. I work there as a Motion Graphic Designer, I mainly do animation there. But I did some 3d animations for big cases which were actually used, so thats really cool.I think I have the skills to contribute to the 0ad project as an all round guy. But I would love to actually produce assets for the game it self.Personality:I am an open minded guy, who absolutely loves making art for interactive concepts. (which of course includes games).Short Essay:I found out the 0ad project via indiegamemag.com. I was looking for some good indie games, and thought I might find one where I would like to contribute to. When I saw 0ad, I didnt believe this wasnt actually an open source game. It looked too good to be true. But it was true. I think I already described my motivations pretty well, but I am basicly in love with making games, and I really miss not making assets for games. I hope that I can gain a lot more experience in making 3d objects for games if I could join Wildfire games. And so that I can proudly say that I contributed to this great game.Interests and Hobbies:My hobbys are mainly playing guitar and piano. I have played those for a long time. But I also do a lot o Photography. I love hanging out with friends to drink some beers and have good conversations.Staff:I dont know any one in the teamCommunity:Mainly some Dutch sites about Photography, and music./i]Favorite Game:I actually dont play a lot of new games (I use a mac, so its kinda hard). Besides that I play a lot of old games. I love Age of Empires I and II. I also played A LOT of Rollercoaster Tycoon back in my days, which I still love. I think those are my favorite all time games. I also really enjoyed starcraft I and II. And some racing games. Mainly NFS and the Colin McRae series.[/i][b]Work Examples:[/b][i]You can find my portfolio on: http://www.petererinkveld.nlSome examples of relevant work:These are all made in 1 day max (besides from rendering).http://petererinkvel...ortal-inspired/http://petererinkveld.nl/prison/http://petererinkveld.nl/old-paper/http://petererinkveld.nl/marble-track/http://petererinkvel...ware-of-trolls/For other projects you have to check my homepage, I cant unfortunately cant post any direct links to those projects.But the projects that might be of interest:"Teds Nightmare" (The game project I spoke about earlier)"De Grote Kleine Kapitein" (The boat is modelled in 3d)"Liniled" Texturing"There is also a lot of Motion Graphic stuff on my website if you guys are interested in that!I hope I can contribute something to this game! And if there are any other questions, feel free to ask me!Greetings,Peter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mythos_Ruler Posted May 21, 2012 Report Share Posted May 21, 2012 Hi, m8! Thanks for the application. Here are the kinds of things we need to complete the art for 0 A.D.:- 3D Biome assets, such as rock formations, trees, animals (+animations).- 2D Biome assets, such as high quality terrain textures.- Low/Medium poly buildings for civilizations, such as the Mauryan Indians.- GUI design and textures.- Single-player campaign assets, both low and medium poly.- Human bipedal animations.Do you have any experience with Blender and Collada file format? Thank you for your time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Degrotepeter Posted May 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2012 Heey,No, but I do have experience with Maya and the Collada file format, so if that would work too, I am okay.I would prefer to do low poly modeling and texture them myself, so if I could help you guys out with that, that would be great!I did some 3d skeletal animations, but it took me so much time to get it right for in game I would rather have someone else do that.Also, I have done some terrain texturing, you can see some examples here:http://petererinkveld.nl/beware-of-trolls/http://petererinkveld.nl/displaced-landscape/Those are not the best examples since those projects are made in one day. But I think I can make proper terrain textures for use in game. Let me hear what you think,thanks!Peter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Degrotepeter Posted May 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2012 So, is there any use for me in this project?Greetings,Peter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mythos_Ruler Posted May 28, 2012 Report Share Posted May 28, 2012 So, is there any use for me in this project?Greetings,PeterSorry for the late reply. The past week or two has been crayzay for me. All right, so what we usually do is ask art applicants to create 1 sample project based on our requirements and critiques. So, we come up with something that you'd be willing to create, you build a first draft, we give you feedback, and you revise, and the cycle continues until we have something everyone's reasonably happy with. We've found this works rather well, and it also mimics how we work as a team.So, is there anything specific in this list that you'd be willing to take a crack at?- 3D Biome assets, such as rock formations, trees, animals (+animations).- 2D Biome assets, such as high quality terrain textures.- Low/Medium poly buildings for civilizations, such as the Mauryan Indians.- GUI design and textures.- Single-player campaign assets, both low and medium poly.- Human bipedal animations.

Degrotepeter Posted June 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2012 Sorry for my late reply too Since I would like to do some 3d modeling I am interested in either 3d Biome assets or Low/Medium poly buildings.Does one of those two categories where they need the most people?

Degrotepeter Posted June 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2012 Heey! I thought I would have a go on some props.I focused mainly on the well.I followed the Art Document, so the well only has 142 Polys, and a 512x512 texture map. It's also normal and specular mapped.So let me hear what you think! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FeXoR Posted June 11, 2012 Report Share Posted June 11, 2012 Really nice! I noticed that some very different textures where used for wood (e.g. for the roman army camp) which does not look very fitting. It seams it's the case here for the carrier of the roof and the arbor of the bucket rope, too. Doesn't look bad though. Just wanted to mention.

Degrotepeter Posted June 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2012 This was more of a test to show off. I'm not yet a member of the team, so I dont think I have acces to the right textures, do you guys normally use some sort of database for it?

feneur Posted June 12, 2012 Report Share Posted June 12, 2012 It would be good if you would be able to prove that you are able to get an object into the game, and we're thinking about making it required for Art applications, so please help us review the process by mentioning anything unclear in the instructions All the textures used in the game are available in the SVN - see below - (though not necessarily all source textures, that's a more complicated issue and some might be personal files from some of the artists etc).Please read through: http://trac.wildfiregames.com/wiki/ArtDesignDocument and http://trac.wildfiregames.com/wiki/Modding_Guide and to make things easier for you probably http://trac.wildfiregames.com/wiki/TortoiseSVN_Guide as well (if you're just using a release version you will have to extract the public.zip to be able to edit/add things, and if you join the team you will have to learn using SVN in any case, so just as well to start now ). Then take say the well model and export it to COLLADA, include it in the game following the instructions in the documents linked above (ask if anything is unclear), and take a screenshot of it in game (or in Atlas is fine as well, just as long as it's obvious it is in the game ) and attach that screenshot to a post in this topic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Degrotepeter Posted June 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2012 K, thanks for the info! I used to implement game objects into UDK with COLLADA too So I will give it a shot! Thanks, Ill post an update later on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feneur Posted June 12, 2012 Report Share Posted June 12, 2012 Cool And if you're already used to getting things into another game engine you're probably better prepared than someone who isn't (Unless you'd expect things to be exactly the same of course, but I don't think you do ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Degrotepeter Posted June 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2012 Well in udk it was easy, you could just import dae's but, I never used SVN. During the bigger game project some one else did the implementation for the art team. But I do know how to properly texture and model stuff. But I'm following the build instructions right now ^^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Degrotepeter Posted June 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2012 Aaand I'm stuck.I downloaded the required SVN Files, the required software to run it with the required dependencies via Terminal. But when I try to build this error pops up:Anyone on this?My cpu has 4 cores, so I should use -j5 right? Sorry I never worked with SVN myself before.

leper Posted June 12, 2012 Report Share Posted June 12, 2012 Guessing from the prompt you are in 0ad/build/workspaces already.The commands you entered should be entered separately (or connected with &&):cd 0ad/build/workspaces./update-workspaces.sh -j5 && cd gcc && make -j5EDIT: As the build process on OS X has some hiccups I just want to add that you can join us on the dev IRC channel if you have some questions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Degrotepeter Posted June 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2012 Great, a whole bunch of errors. I think I'm gonna wait for this till next week Friday. My internship is finished then, I'm reinstalling my laptop then. So Ill try again then.Thanks for your effort so far! I'll be back ^^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
