Critical Modeling Tasks:
NPCs
• Elf Wizards/Clerics- (preferably not ripped from Morrowind.)
- Basically would like to replace the stolen Morrowind elf models with something more appropriate.
- (We've already replaced the stolen Warcraft elves, they just aren't in NOV2015.)
- De-wowing materials: http://www.rkszone.com/downloads/msc/ou ... f_bits.rar
• Human children models
- Something non-anime looking for Erkold's family quest (potential child source)
Monsters
• Orcs could use a replacement. There's such a wide variety of them, it maybe a bit of work though.
• Rat could use a replacement. (Here's a nice Mesh)
Player Models:
• Elf
• A more refined female player model would be nice - preferably via tweaking of the existing mesh.
Animations:
• Viewmodel: Rapid, one handed, open palmed, hand view animations for with to cast spells in rapid succession with alternating hands.
• Viewmodel: Long series of magical gestures for complex single shot spells (summons, firewall, volcano, etc.)
• Viewmodel: Animation for sustaining a spell. (One where you hold the button down.)
• Dwarf NPC model: social animations (sit, eat, drink, etc.)
- Recently added some "sitting on his ass", wounded, and conversation animations, but could use some more, given how many dwarves are wandering about in our dwarven town (soon to be plural).
Reskins
• More forearm skin textures for viewmodels
- So that you can see what armor you are wearing from first person without looking at ms_lildude.

BUYING MODELS ON TURBO-SQUID
There's a lotta cheap and even free models on Tubo Squid. They are not always MSC friendly though. Some require more work than others.
For monsters:
• Less than <8K poly (mind you, >4K poly is more work, as the model has to be segmented.)
• Bone #0 should be the root bone, linked to the model for movement.
- Albeit, there's no way to check this without downloading it.
- Also not an issue, if the monster is of the stationary or flying variety.
• If it ain't animated, skinned/UV'd, and rigged, forget about it. More work than it's worth.
• Preferred formats: MS3D [Milkshape], SMD
For weapons:
• Do require skin. Do NOT require bones nor animations.
• <4K poly (though sometimes we can reduce LOD - but the model will suffer.)
• Preferred formats: MS3D [Milkshape], OBJ
For all:
• Not Maya or 3ds MAX format, for these are proprietary. Blender is also a bit iffy.
If you purchase $10 or more worth of valid models for use with MSC, and provide your Steam ID, we will give you a Donator Halo. Please run links past Thothie before making purchases, however.
Also, while Turbosquid is a good place to *search* for models, it is a bit of a shady place, apparently, and not always the best place to *buy* them...
