3D Modeler and Animator needed

[firestorm713]

NOTE: I apologize if this should go in Mod Talk.

 

After poking around for a bit, I've been looking into doing a mod involving several military weapons and technology caches in the mojave wasteland, with many devices based on Nikola Tesla and Thomas Edisons notes. The player would either be contacted by a representative from the Brotherhood of Steel or the Enclave Remnant, who have found these caches and are using them to wage a literal "War of the Currents." The Brotherhood is using Tesla's tech, the Enclave is using Edison's. During all of this, the player will meet a displaced Dr. Atomic Robo Tesla, pulled out of his world by a portal device he and his father used to travel between their world and the Vampire Dimension. The enclave has also unearthed an automaton created by Edison, currently housing his consciousness. The player would be able to team up with either the Brotherhood or Enclave.

 

Some background on Atomic Robo, it's a comic about Nikola Tesla's Atomically powered robot. The comic stretches from the 1930s to present day. Robo himself has a lot in common with the sentiments of Fallout, many taken from when he was in his prime(the 40s and 50s). The comic was created by Brian Clevinger of 8-bit Theater fame, and Scott Wegener.

The Atomic Robo Free Comics page, for more info about the comic. The ones that most apply to this mod would be the first full issue, MXII, and Rescue Mission.

 

Robo is the challenge I'm having right now. I'm also thinking I might have them fight Undead Edison, which I also would need some help with.

 

What I'm looking for is someone who can take a couple of reference pictures, and from there create a full Atomic Robo model to fit the skeleton used in NV.

 

Disclaimer: I have obtained permission from the Comic's author, Brian Clevinger to do this mod.

Some comic covers and pictures for reference.

 

Probably one of my favorite Robo pics. It sums up Action Science.

Good reference for 'anatomy'

Weapons would also help, but I'm not really to that stage yet. Things like the Lightning Gun, perhaps some sort of light-based flame thrower, tesla armor, and the telluric suit.

Guns!

Tesla's Telluric suit. Think of it as an iron man suit, only it uses electricity. And it has a Top Hat. The hand weapons could also be treated like a pair of glove weapons to be equipped in place of a gun.

If anyone can help me with this project, I would be greatly appreciative. Either email me at elderq[dot]firestorm713[at]gmail[dot]com or reply to this topic.

I should be able to make this; however i do not know how to make it fit a NV skeleton although i am fairly sure i could figure it out. Your going to have to find someone else to do the animations as that is new territory for me. Moving on, what kind of time frame are we looking at here?, do you have anymore refrence photos? would you be able to work with Rhino files and do you want the bot to be wearing pants?

Thanks for the reply!

Time frame is pretty loose, for now. I need to learn the geck, and I'm currently

Obj files were best, as they're universal.

The combat boots and pants may seem strange for a robot, but I've never honestly seen Robo without them. It's one of the core parts of his character design.

as far as references, best I can do is point you to the comic. I'll keep my eyes open for the artists's character designs, though.

Can you do normals and textures for him as well?
