TheCubber has come back with another excellent model, this time a rigged, textured dwarven warrior. The goal for this is $130. From the email:
- Textured and rigged – 4 objects
- whole model 12 238 tris
- body 5400 tris, 2k tex*
- armor 4836 tris, 2k tex*
- cloth 932 tris, 1k tex*
- leather 1070 tris, 1k tex*
*tex - diffuse, specular, normal, ao, environment, sometimes paint :)
[...]
The model is very easy to customize (those prevs where done only by tweaking some parameters :)
As usual, TheCubber's work speaks for itself, so without further ado, the preview images:

My friend ghostshell from GameBoom asked me to pass this along:
Project DretchStorm is an FPS based on the Tremulous universe. The goal is to build on the gameplay of Tremulous version 1.1(ish) and extend its features and introduce new tech. A partial list of wish-list items include:
- new renderer based on xreal
- all FOSS-compatible assets
- assets that exploit xreal's capabilities
- ambiance music
- XP-based class system with research and achievements
- with a focus on high performance and presentation
At this time we are looking for anyone willing to help in all areas; 3d models + animation, textures, mapping, sound/music, ux and writting. The code will be GPL.

Just wanted to let everyone know that the barbarian commission is up, along with the changes people requested. A big thank you to the community for helping to make this happen! :)

Hey folks!
Just a heads up -- when you browse and search art, you can now select what criteria you'd like to sort it by. Sortable criteria are: post date, title, total views, and number of favorites.
I had to update Drupal's views module to 3.0 alpha in order to make this happen, so if you run into any weird issues, please let me know.
Thanks!

Hey folks! I've got another 3D model incoming. The funding goal for this one is $110.
Here's what he says about it:
7366tris, texture [6 x 2k maps (diff, spec, ao, normal, paint, additional blood, +env)], rigged. Each part of model is separate object (to get the nude barbarian model, just delete armor etc. :) )

We're feeling some growing pains and we've got some database configuration issues that need to be addressed. We're working on the problem, I promise. :)

UPDATE: The nude version of the executioner model has been uploaded! Check the executioner link above.
Thanks for all your support!

Making and playing games are great hobbies. On terms of global importance, though, these things are pretty small.
This week four important individuals became backers of Justin Nichol's Fantasy Portrait Marathon:
- Mike Linksvayer, Vice President of Creative Commons
- Joi Ito, CEO of Creative Commons
- Lawrence Lessig, founding board member of Creative Commons and former board member of the Electronic Frontier Foundation
- Richard Stallman, founder of GNU and president of the Free Software Foundation
I'm thrilled that their portraits will appear as NPCs in Flare. In return, I support these important organizations and I hope you will as well.

If you're reading this blog entry, there's a good chance you've noticed we've reached out current fundraising goal to purchase the two excellent 3D models I blogged about previously! I'm currently waiting to receive a check pledged in the mail -- once that clears, I'll make the purchase and post the models on the site.
In the meantime, it's time to put up the next donation goal: $200 for a double set of spell icons by eleazzaar (picture shown to the left is from the very popular first set, which OGA commissioned last month). The new icons icons will include:
-
lightning
-
ice shards flying
-
boulder(s) flying through the air
-
entangling thorny vines
-
Beam of light (all nine colors)
-
Speed boost
- ~6 more sets (depending on number of colors)
- Frames for the icons
Contributors of $40 or more may specify a spell idea to be included in the set (3 power levels, in 3 colors of the artist's choice). We'll keep the list up to date as it's being expanded.
UPDATE: Here are some preview images from the next set, already in progress:

I'll be honest here -- OGA accepts Paypal because it's relatively cheap and a lot of people use it. We withdraw our Paypal money every month so as to prevent massive losses if they happen to arbitrarily decide to freeze our account, as they have been known to do in the past. It's one of those annoying practical decisions that you have to make when you run a community website -- risk dealing with Paypal, or lose out on a lot of donation money. As things stand, OGA will continue to accept money by Paypal until few enough people use it that it makes sense to stop.
All that being said, there are plenty of people out there who would prefer not to deal with Paypal at all, and we're now providing an alternative for these folks: Bitcoin. Bitcoin is a P2P virtual currency that can be exchanged from person to person without going through any kind of central authority. You can exchange Bitcoins either by running your own P2P bitcoin client, or going through a site such as mybitcoin.com, which takes care of that for you. You can read more about it on their site -- they explain it far better than I can.
If you want to donate Bitcoins to OGA, you can go through money of the many exchange sites and purchase some with various payment methods and then send them to OGA. At the moment, Bitcoins are currently exchanging for 20 to 23 cents apiece.
If you're an artist and you'd prefer to accept Bitcoins as payment for a commission, we'll be happy to accomodate you.
As a final note, I should point out that we're offering Bitcoins as a donation option. OGA will, for the forseeable future, continue to accept Paypal. If you'd prefer to avoid dealing with Paypal and don't want to use Bitcoins, we can arrange other donation methods, such as money order or bank transfers.
Reminder: OGA is currently taking donation money to pay for for this commission, which will be released by the artists when we reach our goal of $220.
