Technology
- Game Engine - OGE - Open Game Engine (www.opengameengine.org/wiki)
- Modeling - Our engine uses the .mesh format that is default on Ogre3d. But it is easy to get any work out of Maya, 3dsMax or just about any 3d software.
- Animation - MOCAP bvh format. Other format must be integrated in the tool chain.
Talents Needed
- A Character 3D Modeler & Animation
A freelancer until the proof of concept is done which means about 10 characters to model.
After that a permanent contract could be discussed.
Very probably this job will evolve to 'Character Artist Leader'.
Anybody experienced is welcome.
