Retexturing request.
Sunday, March 7, 2010 - 06:17
I have about 50 models I want to contribute but the textures I used can't be published under an open source license. So I ask for help retexturing them because it would take ages by myself. It would even help to point out some site where I can find textures that can savely be published under open source.
I know it's an unusual request but I hope I'm still in the right forum.
Right now i have problems with uploading so I will post a list with all the models later. If you are interested in retexturing a certain model write me a mail or a post a comment.
Here are some Renders of my best models but quite a lot of the other models are from my early days as a modeller so they are not that good.
Hello!
I'm glad you want to contribute theose models. I would recommend that you upload the models without textures and encourage in the descriptions to create textures..
I'm no 3d artist. I heared how little fun it is to paint textures on models, so it might be hard to get some volunteers :| Maybe I only listened to one type of people so far though :)
A friend of mine is a 2D artist who makes great images. I'll ask him if he is interested to do some (and if he has the time).

Actually it can be very fun and fullfilling to bring the models you made to live. Without textures a model takes lots of imagination to look good. Especially low poly models. So if you have an idea on how that model should look like in your mind you cannot create it with just modeling.
The downside is that it takes alot of time. Sometimes I work for a week on a good and detailed texture. Way more than on modeling.

Please ask your friend. It would be great to work with an 2D artist.
I haven't done much work with 3D stuff, but in order to texture things, you need to UV unwrap them first, right? Can you post them with the UV maps? It might make the prcess a bit faster.

Most models are unwrapped but not in a way which would make it easy to edit them. I never would have thought that it might be nessesary one day... But I'm working on it.
Here are the first few models with their UV-layouts. I would like to texture them myself but my 2D skills aren't good enough to make such textures from sratch. But I guess it'll help me to learn i now.
I included some of my own textures. Maybe some admin can upload them for me? Right now I can't upload anything because of some HTML error.
I also included the whole list of models I have. I hope I made no mistakes with naming and such.
