ModDB's modellers have quickly established themselves as the largest non engine specific development group, setting the base for what could end up being one of the largest mod related modelling hubs for modelling information and support.
We welcome to the group newcomers and old timers alike and are proud to have some industry talent among us.
Plans are in place to expand the group and get the community involved in small competitions and have community vs community competitions up and running shortly.
In each newsletter we also plan to have a showcase of some great community workings, including 2D and 3D work.
It would be great to get some original high quality work in these showcases if you would like to show ModDB and others what you can do, please email a 1024x768 render to aza_bak@hotmail.com please ensure your email is on the image so others can contact you.
Todays Example showcase we have M@ty's amazing CX4 Storm
- code:
- This is how the showcase will be displayed on newsletter.
A shout out also goes to the good folks at Noesis Interactive who have uploaded a swag of XSI Mod tool tutorials for all the avid source developers out there.
Check them out here.
So that’s about it for newsletter one, thanks to all that have registered and are taking part in the group so far, your helping make a better stronger group and supporting your fellow modeller.
Keep it real 3D

I never said they suck, i said i never get replies to my posts and that sucks the ga guys are great.
Well yeah, they suck is a little exagerated, but it is just so annoying I never get any replies either, but I like the general idea of GA and the admins really are good but just still annoying.
So who is taking part in the ARMADA competition? I have to agree with you Aza Game-Artist community sucks!
Ok, the link in the newsletter seems to lead to an un-updated dead end of some sort. Clicking on the Dom War homepage doesn't seem to get you anywhere either.
I found this link to the rules in the 3d buzz forums...

For beauty and contruction shots, the above lighting restrictions do not apply - feel free to use anything.
Your Pedestal's Budget:
Create a small pedestal with unrestricted polygons and textures. You cannot put anything on this
pedestal that your creation can use or pick up.
seems like its 9k
crap about the non electronics ive never done anything magical
have to see how it goes
Wha?!?! Could've sworn it was 7k! Thnx for the extra 2000 tris TKAzA!
What forum will you be representing? Me, CGChat. We should start a pm thread for the 3d Artists Group's DM entries. If that would work out.
I sympathize with the never having done anything magical. I've never done any normalMapping since my last "realistic" char. model is over 4yrs. old! If anyone has any good tuts they'd like to recommend...
Im taking part on the side of Gameartisans.org but havent had much support yet.
Yeah, the browser-crashing caution-sign-pop-up is gone, but the war still has not begun... :(
I set aside time this weekend to work on it too... >:(
