Lazarus A half Life 2 mod Sci Fi needs modelers/animators

[cheeseballz]

You wake up, dazed and naked in an open cage. As you look around you see bodies and blood smattered all over the floor. As you become conscious and your eyes dilate you see four other people unconscious next to you. You shake a few of them and they slowly come to. Everyone is silent and you speak… “Who.. What am I doing here?” a slender woman said “I’m umm… I think… My name is… I don’t know…” “We should get out of here.. Before we end up like the others” All five start on their way out, wincing at the pain the sharp rocks cause to their feet. You and the rest walk out of the cave and look back, seeing five cages, chains on the walls, and a man missing his legs tied to the wall.

As the small group walked out of the cave onto a grassy plain there was a path with strange foot prints, and some marks that looked as if some one was being dragged. As the group made their way through some dense and tall grass just outside the cave they find a river. One older male said “I think we should follow the path it could lead us to...” You cut him off.. “No I don’t think we should, it will lead us straight into the paths of whoever killed all those people back there” you point back to the cave. “Well I’m going, ill take my chances... Anyone else want to come?” Another male raised his hand “Yes, I will go with you” The two started off down the path.

The last three look around and you speak out “I think I am called … Charles” The slender woman says “I don’t know who I am but you can call me Comfort” The last male said “I am… Bill” Comfort, Bill and Charles look around and Charles spots a river “Lets follow that river, we might be able to find help” The other two nodded in approval, and looked down the river…

I´´d also likr to help, I like the COOP idea :)

[cheeseballz]

:wave: Hey yep i spoke to you all! thanks for joining the Lazarus team, hope to start work now!

[cheeseballz]

Lazarus has gotten all but a animator. We need someone who can bring the models to life. We need animations for hands, the weapons in action, character movment such as walking, jumping, and running. If you can do this leave feedback and a way to reach you. A small video of your past work would be appreciated. Thank you

[djmj_1000]

arent you on farcry right now your nick is similar and you msn etc

[cheeseballz]

I wish i knew what you meant farm, but i dont know what you are talking about. Yes SWARM died because of a lack of support and team dedication.

[cheeseballz]

Still in need of animator, We wait on that for as of now we are using the existing animations in hl2 and compiling the models needed. Hope to have an animator soon!

[cheeseballz]

Ok this thread is not needed any more because the required positions have been filled. If you would still like to join our team then give me a message other wise i will not be posting here. :dance: Thanks everyone!

[cheeseballz]

We are in need of a skinner at the moment. We have bryan but hes went somewhere for now but when he comes back hil have a tad of work. We need another skinner to help ease it up so he can do the animations. If you are a skinner look at the above for my messengers or leave a post showing your past work. Hope to hear from you soon! hanks for all your help! :smug:

dude, ur making the most usual mistake : modeling stuff and showcasing it without textures or anything, you didnt even put anything ingame even a test or even a level building test, im not gonna say more cause i already did in some previous threads, but u gotta be carefull where it is headed, it reminds me of some mods that were going fairly well and went kaput

[cheeseballz]

Yes, i understand what you are saying but hammer is much easier to get them in game then most games. We have a skinner but hes not active.

[Johny]

dude , you want a mod to inspire yourself ? maybe red orchestra or Nuclear dawn ( this one seems more like a full game you know ? theyr work policy is very strick they taught me alot bout it) see what made other mod sucessfull and study it, dont start as the usual mod that makes some guns untextured then just closes doors...

[cheeseballz]

Its not like that johnny, iv been watching other mods and questioning people asking what is best. We at least show the work instead of waiting for it to be textured. To gain constructive critisizm.

[Johny]

All im saying is that u should only show stuff that is finished, believe me credits much more ur mod, believe me , it might sound arrogant, but i know it;)

something you should really read.

[cheeseballz]

.. sorry johnny but you dont get it. Im not a huge newb. I can handle this my self. I appreciate you trying to help but i know what to do and i will do what i have to. Im asking for a skinner which i got a possible skinner who emailed me. Im just going to speak to him once he returns my email.

[Johny]

if ur asking for a skinner ull only get email replys, cause the correct term is Texture artist ;) lol , just nitpicking, but hey , since u know what ur doing i wont bother more ;) althout that on the link i gave ya u already made some grave mistakes ;)

oh well, i really hope to see ur mod in hl2, i really do, if ur persistent and learn from ur mistakes ull achieve something some day :)
good luck !

[cheeseballz]

Yes, well in the mod community its called a skinner. :/ i dont know but thats how everyone refers to it. Soon it will come to hl2! Thanks for responding though. We did get a Texture artist (happy? ;)) And will be going on our way!

[cheeseballz]

Well, bryan our modeler and skinner is now dead as i see it. We need a skinner and or animator very badly. If you can skin or texture then we need your help. If you would like to join leave feedback with a link to a portfolio or send me an email with some examples. +
