Hi All
I seem to have been involved on the outskirts of FPSC for years being one of the original EAs. Hey that is years!
Anyway I have been making 3d models for a number of years mainly for the Train Sim etc community and for use in educational programs mainly for Edutech Systems. There's a lot of my work on UKtrainsim.com.
But with the exciting continuation of FPSC Reloaded and its potential to launch a shed load of Indy Game Makers I thought I'd have a go at making some models for that market. With that in mind I have started to put together a large project aimed at the game developer using a World War II scenario. I have just spent two years in France and amassed a very large collection of photographs for textures. My idea is to make everything for the game designer to create a typical French village or even a small town with houses, cafes, shops, specialist buildings such as the Marie (possibly used by the occupying forces as their HQ), street furniture, period vehicles etc. A good battle scene is always the railyard so I will be making available the necessary components for that so you the game designer may create unique zones (wagons, buildings, track, clutter etc).
I will make many of these in 'pristine' and 'war damaged' condition to allow the game designer the option to create 'before and after' scene(s). Buildings will also come as 'static' for creating street, back garden, alley way battle scenes and 'interactive' for in house fighting etc. Models will be designed to allow the game creator as much 'suprise' and 'unexpected' latitude as possible (difficult corners, traps etc).
I have a number of other ideas which will become available as the project develops. I expect to put up the first batch of models in late August and have set a timeline of two months to complete the majority of the rest. All will be available through the shop on this site and further details can be found on www.3dshed.co (that is co and not com
.
