Unreal Tournament III Concepts Needed.

[da-darkmatter]

Hello all,

I have put together a group of 3d modelers, animators, a music composer, etc. for a Crysis Full conversion mod called "ECLIPSE". We are in need of original specific Eclipse concept art for the 3d modelers to build from to speed things up. These are non pay positions but your works would be displayed on our website and forums along with the Crytek Crysis forums where a huge community sees all our progress. Crytek is watching us closely and gaining interest in our project daily. Eclipse will include all new characters, weapons, maps, music etc. Presently Eclipse is geared towards the PC and we have hopes to also eventually port it over to become a XBox 360 download-able mod. The game is a Futuristic Sci-fi first person shooter that takes place in the year 2996.

If anyone is interested in joining up please feel free to come by our forum at http://www.digitalarmadagamestudios.com and click on the forum tab. You can show your work to the team and the public all you like.

You can also drop me a line at rrichards@digitalarmadagamestudios.com anytime.

[da-darkmatter]

Hello again,
Our mod team is starting to build nicely. We are presently up to 12 members.

We could use a couple more Concept Artists and 3D Modelers if anyone is able to contribute some time. Your works will be posted on our Eclipse forums and Crytek's alike for the gaming community and developers to see.

My direct email is rrichards@digitalarmadagamestudios.com
My Skype name is "d4rkm4tt3r" .
Or you can leave us a forum post at http://www.digitalarmadagamestudios.com/forum/index.php?topic=5.0


Thank for your interest,
Ron Richards:yayca:

FYI, we have switched our mod to Crysis instead of UT3 due to much better graphics ingame.

Here is some 3d art in the works...

Hello everyone,
We are still in need of some real good sci-fi concept artist who can devote a bit of their free time to Eclipse art. We need character concepts still and props, vehicles, and all the natural goodness of an entire pro sci-fi first person shooter.
;)

[da-darkmatter]

We are very busy getting the concepts right and are still looking for solid sci-fi concept artists and hardcore 3d modelers. I am presently sketching myself instead of modeling to pump out the concepts to our 3d group. We are piling up on a good list of tasks. Of course we cant show everything we are working on, it would spoil the surprises. :)

Please visit our forums and show your support. All are welcome!
If your interested and think you have what it takes to join our mod team drop me an email or best bet is to visit our forums, JOIN THE TEAM thread and show your work.

Here is a rough scratch of a weapon i sketched (yes the modeler has a cleaner sketch than this one), the man modeling it is Tor Frick, screen name snefer.

And here is the model in the works....

[da-darkmatter]

Hello guys, here are a few more updates. I'll get some more updates this week here for you all. :)

[da-darkmatter]

Here is the chaingun model WIP.

[da-darkmatter]

I thought i would give you guys a listen at 6 songs from the Eclipse Sound Track By Mike Jennings, our music composer. We are starting to look for Coders and Sound FX people along with adding environment Concept Artists.

Here are the 6 songs via our forums ......

Sorry everyone, but we have major things going on behind the scenes, for instance tomorrow morning i've got an interview lined up getting us out in front of the media and investors. Working on funding ..... :)

Besides all that, we are ramping up on indoor environments next to get some ingame fun rolling. Here is the chaingun high poly about completed. Modeled by pixelgoat.

http://www.digitalarmadagamestudios.com/mod_images/Chaingun_WIP_01.jpg We now have some good progress on a main charatcer.
Snefer and myself worked out this concept for many weeks to land a solid look. We hope you all like our efforts, concept by snefer and i, and modeling WIP by snefer :)

http://www.digitalarmadagamestudios.com/mod_images/MainChar_WIP_01_large.jpg

[da-darkmatter]

We are still looking for more 2d artists hard and heavy. Sci-Fi lab environments are what we are ready to start on now. Any of you talented folks wish to throw some art our way give us a shout at rrichards@digitalarmadagamestudios.com

:muscle:

[da-darkmatter]

Thank you all for your kind comments! We really enjoy game development and hope it shows in our work. Some day with a little luck someone we hope will show financial interest. :)
And so the Eclipse Machine plows forward with another model in the works here by one of our newer 3D members, Stephen Minkin. This will be a mechanic ...

Siiiick Mod!

:uzi: Hello all,
Eclipse decided to take our efforts towards the contest here for the 1 million dollars and the license for the Unreal Engine 3. If won, the Eclipse game and any other games we make can be for profit (this means Digital Armada can pay you). With an engine comes publishers knocking. We have a very good chance at winning this. I am looking for skilled 2d and 3d artists and other team members. We have a top notch programmer from the industry and some amazing animators on hand, INCLUDING MOCAP! Please feel free to apply by email. How cool would it be to see all this wonderful talent come together for something like this. Cash prizes guys.


Here is the contest --> http://www.makesomethingunreal.com/overview.aspx

My email here --> rrichards@digitalarmadagamestudios.com

[da-darkmatter]

Well everyone, its been insanely busy. to blow past all the blah blah, ill get to the latest news, we just were offered a game engine, full source code and support. no royalties and no money exchange needed until we are banking. Now i can have the team im forming for this new engine keep track of hours and pay them on the back end. For this of course we would need only serious people who can dedicate the time. If your a concept or matte artist, 3d artist with great hard body and/or organic modeler or texture artists and would like to get involved, please drop us a line at jobs@digitalarmadagamestudios.com and attach a link to your portfolio.

Thanks everyone,

[da-darkmatter]

Here is a high poly handgun i just completed modeling, next will be the low poly game version with textures. Still looking for :muscle: concept artists.

[da-darkmatter]

Here are some newer wips. We are looking for Environment, character / creature, and prop 2d artists that are strong in scifi and dedicated to a project with large goals. We are currently in talks with Crytek on their Cryengine 2 license, which means we will no longer be a mod, but a build to sell game.

This is some great work... and it sounds like it's taking off 2! great job !

[da-darkmatter]

Eclipse still needs concept artists that can dedicate time to the project. Strong sci-fi environment and/or character concepts are still needed. We presently have 4 concept gents.

Here are a couple of things in the works, mainly for the start of the game.

Hello everyone,
In Eclipse news, we have decided to go with a CTF mode to get something out to the community faster. We do have ctf working in game as right now and are working on all assets the coders need first to make it all happen, physics are being also adjusted for fast exciting game play. The mode will be called Eclipse CTA, Capture the artifact.

We're currently looking for a Flash AS2 guru to help with ingame huds and menu screens for Crysis Wars. AS3 knowlage would help with our website. I'm also looking at a non flash website asap. So if your interested and have good skilled to show us of past work.

We are also very proud to announce that LowPings.net - Game Servers 99¢/slot, Dedicated Servers $149/mo. (http://www.lowpings.net) . has granted us a game server for our development process, and later once our CTA mode is released, we will be setting up some servers with lowpings.net for the online community to enjoy playing our mod.

We give big thanks to Lowpings.net

I'm utterly amazed and I wish you the best of luck in getting this project out. because you clearly will!

By the way Rockhart, the quote you've got on your signature is NOT from Oscar Wilde. It's from G.K.Chesterton.

[B.K. Conn]

B.K. Conn,
Hows your environment concepts and or props that go in the scene?

Thank you gents on the crits, some of our team like Stefan Morrell (http://stefan-morrell.cgsociety.org/gallery/) got tied up on some big pay projects. He said he should be able to return soon. We could sure use some help from any of you fantastic environment artists abroad.

Here is a sample of one concept for one of our CTF maps being designed.
