Looking for UE1 mesh modelers

Post by Rajada »

Right now, one of the biggest problems I have with NAB's design is the sparsely decorated maps. Unlike Unreal Tournament, NAB did not receive very many decorative meshes and as such, many levels are either very blank and open, or sacrifice BSP polygons to create things like torches and computer banks. My hope, is to find someone(s) interested in making some low poly static models for decorative meshes, that belong in one of the many themes in the vanilla arenas. Torches, space rocks, computer consoles, foliage, you name it. I can provide any textures used in the game if you would like them for skinning purposes. Below is a list of the default themes, with some links to pictures of arenas belonging to each, as well as some ideas I already had for meshes (some of which I'm working on making right now). Keep in mind that I will be doing some lighting/texturing/detail passes on all of these maps, so they may change subtly. Shots are taken without weapons/HUD for clarity.

General mesh ideas:
  • A camera drone, maybe eventually make them follow players around?
  • One or more meshes for bounce/jump pads (those green circular lights on the floor), maybe make some non-circular shaped ones
Amateur:

The first arena you encounter and the hardest to explain. I guess it resembles a gameshow set in a way?

Mesh ideas:
  • Arena lighting meshes

Asteroid:

Probably my favorite theme, it includes my favorite level which is pretty much exactly a copy of the idea behind Morbias but smaller and based around asteroids.

Mesh ideas:
  • A few space rock meshes would be nice to replace those horrible BSP ones
  • Space debris (for skybox)
  • Maybe some kind of drill ship (they have to mine the asteroids somehow)
  • Indoor mining equipment and machinery
  • A planet with rings
  • Pipes, straight, curves, T's, joints, valves

Barracuda:

Tropical and tiki themes meet lots of water in an undersea arena. Yes, that miserable skybox will be getting an update.

Mesh ideas:
  • A tiki torch
  • Some kind of underwater plant/seaweed
  • Some 3D tikis

Champion:

The last arena you fight in. Would love to get some gold trim in there if I could.

Mesh ideas:
  • I would love to put a promotional blimp in the skybox.

Lunar:

An arena on the moon, not much more to say about that.

Mesh ideas:
  • Maybe some 3D lunar mountains for the skybox
  • Moon rover and/or lander

Orbital:

An arena in a space station.

Mesh ideas:
  • Some space ships I can put in the skybox
  • Various computer consoles/screens
  • Satellites?
  • Sci-fi miscellany

Sequoia:

Built in a grove of giant redwoods. Giant, billboarded redwoods.

[img]http://infiltrate.nerfarena.net/images/NAB/SEQ4.png[/img][img]http://infiltrate.nerfarena.net/images/NAB/SEQ5.png[/img]

Mesh ideas:
  • Small plants/ivy
  • Rocks/patches of natural rock
  • Real 3D branches for the trees

Skyscraper

A very neat urban theme.

Mesh ideas:
  • Things you'd see on buildings (AC units, TV antennas)
