Just as the subject says, I need 3d modelers for my firefly game im am creating. I have much of the engine done, just with no models I cant do anything. So if you want to be a part of my project, contact me at gladiusmagister@gmail.com.

Although I'm not a 3D artist, I'm quite intrigued by this. Mind giving us a rundown on the game?

You should give Treybor a shout. Not sure how busy he is, but earlier in the summer he helped me do a rendering of Serenity for a tshirt I'm developing.

You can PM from his page:

Here's a thread of some of his work:

Hope this helps.

What kind of game are you making? I've been working on modeling the interior of Serenity for Unreal Tournament, but it hasn't gone as smoothly as I had hoped. I'm sure you can relate to that.

There is a Lightwave model of Serenity over here. http://beam.to/firefly/download.html Just scroll down about half way.

I'd love to help. I'm actually taking courses for a game design degree right now, but I'm not too far into it. 3D modeling is next quarter. But if you're not in too much of a hurry, I'll definitely comit to helping.

Sorry, I have been away. I dont know much about what I am really going to do with the game. I know its going to have fps elements with some space sim stuff in it. I dont know if I am going to use the characters from the show or make some up. All I know is that I have a semi-code complete game engine that I have been working on for a while. It started out as a 2D MMORPG engine. I then started adding more and more 3D elements. It is now a modern 3D engine with bumb/parallax mapping, per-pixel lighting, and high level shaders. The demos I have shown my freiends say its almost as good quality as doom 3 or oblivion, just without the models. I am wating to finsh up the physics engine until I find out what type of animation system the modeler I get will use. So if anyone can model for me tell me by contacting me at gladiusmagister@gmail.com. About the 3d model of serenity, the polygon level is way to high for it to be used in a game. If anyone can lower the poly gon level by a significant amount without utterly messing up the model, also conact me. I hope I do find a decent modeler. My engine has been just sitting idel for two months now and I reall would like to get this project back on track. I would hate to have this project become vaporware.

So like an actual 3d object would not help?

If it would, the Serenity Ornament should be available soon. This week??

No not an actual 3D object, like from lightwave, 3D studio max, or maya.

Someone made a Freelancer mod of Serenity. Anybody know who that was?

There's an e-mail on his name.

It's pretty good, although it doesn't have any glow textures.

There is also a flight sim mod of Serenity. The mule is in there too, and I guess there's a reaver ship. It's been discussed over here. http://www.fireflyfans.net/thread.asp?b=2&t=23082#360367

I have found a team that will be willing to share the models they are working on. If the polygons are low enough to run in my engine, I hope to have a demo showing off some of the features of the engine. Thanks.

Hey mate,

I'm an intern environmental artist,
I work two jobs, so free time isn't something I have a real lot of, but if you like I’ll help out where I can.

If you're interested let me know.

Nope, I make the object palettes, ground, roof, walls, level elements, etc. etc.
I mainly just model whatever crap the levels need.

Well, lets see what people think of my little demo Im working on. If there is enough people who think it is a good enough engine, Ill continue. If not, three years of on and off work of my engine will be lost :(.

Somebody just posted this link. Guess there's a whole yahoo group for people trying to model Serenity. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Modelling_Serenity

Any update on your progress so far?
Also I'd be willing to lend a hand in the design if your still needing folks... got a bit of Lightwave talent that's been going to waste as of late.
