Time to get back to work for me.
For those who do not know, Pentagenesis was an attempt at a full conversion of civ III to a sci-fi turn based game, whose story lay in the colonization of a new planet, by beings evolved from humans, now immortal, but branching into five separate races.
I eventually stoped work on it, to hone my 3d skills, knowing civ IV would be 3d.
I chose to save any announcements until I was sure I could get truly customized graphics and models into Civilization IV.
For now, all I can import are buildings, because they have no keyframes. The model here is from a Pentagenesis RTS I am working on, based on the Object Oriented Graphics Rendering Engine (OGRE) . It is 2590 triangles, which is too heavy to be used realistically in a mod. Most models I think are in the 100-500 triangle range, so this one could be the equivelent of up to 25 models, plus it is using a 256 .dds texture, which is 4 times the size of a standard civ IV texture. So I will need to optimize it.
I can probably also do terrain editing, as it is heightmap based, and I know how to check models in Blender, and perhaps build overlays for special buidings and units. But I have not looked into it yet.
I have 3 years living expenses saved up. this means I am serious about making this my career (3d graphics) and am going full throttle, day and night to make it so. I only mention this, to say, this mod will be completed.
I will be lead story writer, and lead designer. I will also probably take over low poly modelling and texturing.
Here is who we will need to make this happen:
Technical Civilopeda Writer(s):
makes sure links are working correctly, makes sure important, non-storyline information is noted
Python Programmer(s):
make the game an unrecognizable, brand new experience for the player
XMLologist:
First to see the new models in actions. In charge of inserting in all models, and design implementations correctly
Artist(s):
Blender preferred, but maya, max wings, or any other blender compatible program is acceptable. Mostly focsing on high-poly, single mesh models. I will work on the texture baking and creation of low poly models, but of course any one is welcome to help in those cpaacities as well.
Civ IV experts:
Basically, this is where suggestion comes in. In all honesty, I do not have time to play civilization IV much, due to my ambitions. But when I do play it, I still find it highly addictive, allthoguh I have never come close to beating it on Monarch, which has frustrated me greatly.
