voogru Gallente Massive Damage	Posted - 2007.01.27 07:41:00 - [1] I am looking for a very high quality render of the Opux. Unfortunately, the existing model is a bit dated. While it's very good it's not quite good enough for the purpose I want to use it for (which is EVE related of course). What I am looking for, is someone to re-make the model of the Opux to the quality of the new Vista models that will be released in a later patch, only I don't want to wait that long. IÆm not looking for just a re-skinned Opux but a full blown model with more details; of course it must look like the original Opux, just more badass. What I require: 1. High quality model in whatever format (Maya, 3d Studio Max). 2. An export of the final render with several different angles with decent lighting. The only restriction is that the model must be top notch quality, as in such high quality CCP steals it and uses it for the new model of the Opux in the later patch. If youÆre not an experienced model or skinner you may feel free to try, but I am only interested in high quality work. Anyone that is good at modeling/skinning may enter. What you get in return: 2.0 Billion ISK.

Dearwin Beagle Corp	Posted - 2007.01.27 10:25:00 - [5] I think I know the question to this but thought it would be worth it to ask, Do you actually want a "game compatible" model that constricts to the standard requirements of game engines? Or are other modeling techniques alright? Also with CCP totally redoing many of the concepts especially skinning, would you prefer a higher grade but strict adherence to the current skin? Or allow a few artist embellishments? Video: Beagle Fun
Merin Ryskin Peregrine Industries	Posted - 2007.01.27 10:35:00 - [6] What is this model going to be used for? Are you looking for an optimized version for game/animation use? A "detail at all costs" version appropriate for high-resolution still images? Any software limitations (any shaders specific to your prefered renderer, etc)?

Or allow a few artist embellishments? No, the model does not have to be game compatible. It's not going to be used in the EVE Client.

Also, what kind of deadline are you talking about? It will not be used in any game, therefore it does not have to be compatible with anything specifically. Do whatever it takes to get the highest possible detail. 2 Billion ISK Contest

Soulita Gallente Inner Core	Posted - 2007.01.27 23:05:00 - [9] I find the 2 bil isk offer very low for such a task. 20 bil would be more realistic of you want a top notch model.

You always have the option to not work on it. Anyways, if I was a modeler, for 2 billion ISK, I would do it. ----- Griffin -- 100,000 ISK ECM - Multispectral Jammer Is -- 20,000 ISK Standar Missile Launcher Is -- 10,000 ISK War target sobbing over losing a fight in his T2 fitted Battleship -- priceless

Just wanted to let the OP know he is getting an awesome deal if someone makes a high quality 3d model including textures and render for him for this price.
xeom Veto.	Posted - 2007.01.27 23:17:00 - [12] Would this include texturing too? --- "Those nuclear missiles are for domestic heating." - Scagga
SebbyTheFreak Caldari School of Applied Knowledge	Posted - 2007.01.27 23:22:00 - [13] well yeah, 2 bil is probably worth only the model, true.

But based on how quick he turned around my sigs I would say he would be up to the challenge. ---

Would say it seriously depends on definition of "top notch" and one's regular earnings (which can wildly vary depending where you live) e.g. if i recall right 2 bil isk translates into ~200+ USD worth of real money. This is quite matching the prices of mid-high range single models in places like turbosquid. A full-time professional with established job and portfolio can of course earn much more than that for their work, but then i don't think this offer is aimed at this kind of people.

Originally by: Zazzz Current model Linky 1 Linky 2 Its late now, no time to make adjustments. Maybe i have time tomorrow Transparency is missing on the windows, and the texture is pretty much the same as the existing one, but it's a good start 2 Billion ISK Contest

Svenstaro Amarr Templars of Space CORE.	Posted - 2007.01.28 03:26:00 - [21] I don't think that he meant to post an improved model version, he only posted an original version for review with an applied specular/bumpmap.
Sweet instigator	Posted - 2007.01.28 03:44:00 - [22] I hate to ask this... But the Evol moviemakers had to ask permission from CCP. The joint forces of EVE's creative community, could be artistic competition for CCP. Paying them 2bill, could be filed as 'corp spying'. Like the rescent Coca Cola case. I've seen some Goons Modding their EVE client, seen a game with similar graphics like EVE been brought out and even seen how people make CGI movies without any permission from CCP. It may be flattering for a Dev, I can well imagine the stress it brings with it... Couldn't resist but to ask this... And didn't want to hijack this thread either. I will not edit this post.

It may be flattering for a Dev, I can well imagine the stress it brings with it... It will not be used in a CGI movie, I don't want to quite say what it's for just yet because it's a surprise , but of course it's EVE related and I am not going to make any real world profit on it in anyway. I am not going to use it in a "modified" client or use it in the EVE client in anyway (whats the point if I'm the only one that sees it like that anyway). What it will be used in is another graphic, where the original Opux model is pixelating and doesnt look so great. Might as well go full blown and get a re-made model/skin that looks badass. Originally by: SebbyTheFreak and the deadline is? I'll try it tommorrow. 2 billion isk is truly worth a day's work =P No deadline, if there was, it would be a few months anyway. 2 Billion ISK Contest

Might as well go full blown and get a re-made model/skin that looks badass. So it's a single image (where 48 hour render times from too much detail are acceptable), to be done by us? Or does it need to be compatible with your software? I ask because different programs/3rd party renderers have their own shaders/plugins/etc. For example, I would texture it for Vray and 3dsmax 8, but if you tried to render with Mental Ray and Maya, you'd need to redo all of the texture work. The custom map/material types for the 3rd-party renderer wouldn't convert correctly. So before I spend any time on this, I want to make sure I'm not going to run into format problems.

There is no software I am using, you just have to make the model, skin it, and send a few renders of it at various angles (preferable one of the angles should be similar to this. I want whatever source files are used in case I need something done to it in the future. 2 Billion ISK Contest

Maybe i have time tomorrow Isnt that the current model with the current texture, except you added a bump map and some lighting? He said in his post it's the current model. Also, possibly a dumb question but how do you go about extracting the eve models from the .stuff files for importing into 3ds Max? I don't have the patience to model an Opux from scratch but if you can get the original model it's just a matter of pimping it up a bit. ___ The world isn't going to end; we're not that lucky...

It is easier to create from scratch than it is to pimp the existing one - trust me. The Battleships is not and should not be a solo pwnmobile - Oveur
