Hey, I want in ... I love 3d, send the file you want me to render in a .obj format and Ill give it a go!   Equinox: I feel your pain buddy, I sooooooo have been there done that! So much for that image right?

Dave, the images are a compilation of items I bought, morphs I added to the items in custom combinations, mats that are purchased as well as mats I have created myself. So short answer is all of the above, except none of them are from free products. With about 2million+ humanoid, item, clothing and animal wire frames available (just on the site I tend to purchase from most often), why should I reinvent the wheel when I can modify it? Its just not cost effective. I mean how many ways can you create a human or a dragon or a cup? If you like, I can create an image of two women in the same outfits, and show you the versatility of the products I use. Edit: Both subjects are built using V4.3 human figure, the morphing fantasy dress, Ethnic morphs, as well as elite body shapes morphs. All textures are custom created in bump map, transparencies, and mats. Both figures took about 30 min to construct, paint, and pose.

I didn.t start it,I just cant find anywhere else that the final free mods were placed. I don't think there was a winner either, and only two entries, but the purpose of it was well met, and I do want people to find what is available. I mean, at least the layout I created and coded gives people a clearer place to start on a custom layout. ... hmmm, I have an idea! Those images were submitted, but not coded .... perhaps a contest for the best coded layout. Ill have to think this over, and maybe we can get some options ..... maybe Damstew and ColdBlooded will have some kind of competition for skins / themes for v3 .... lots of possibilities!

Sounds to me like you are taking our suggestions into consideration, and I appreciate that greatly! It sounds like V3 is something I am going to want as long as this community continues to make suggestions and improve Mccodes and the good suggestions get implemented..

Good point, Ill defiantly take that into consideration with my next projects!

Meh, your loss. I can create the same thing in about 20 min vs your 5 hours, $5 value for $75 cost. But there is a lot to be said for pride. If you only wanted posts like "OOOO great images", or "Thats so awesome", Don't ask for people's views on the images. If you cant stand the heat, stay out of the kitchen.

I have a dirty mind lol, so for hire sounds dirty too, and I cant come up with a clean way to put it! But I would still like feedback on what I can do better in the images.

14, Id love to see v3 have anti meta / bot built in .... not just capcha 15, Suspicious activity logs ...

Hahaha, BGF stole my thunder here! I was going to post some of the 3d renderings of weapons that look just like the ones posted here... oh, and exporting the png to corel10 and hitting the vectorization button is pretty simple to do and still looks great, and you don't loose scaling, but thats the whole point of vectors right? You asked for a link to $3 to $5 images ... Anyway, I still believe the images are great, just that you are wasting resources and I expected more from the developers of infantryx. As far as making sure that you are using "real" type weapons for a military game, When is the last time a Soldier carried a six shooter aka revolver? Try a 9mm baretta for a side arm next time, BTW, ill sell you a high quality image of one for $5.

I deal with these kinds of images all the time in my 3d renderings. While they are great, they look just like the same images you can buy on other sites for $3 to $5. I personally think it would be cool if you were going to take the time to draw up custom images that they looked different from "everything else" otherwise just spend the $3 to $5 and save the 5 hours. They are still good images, just nothing out of the ordinary.

Hey now, Im not exactly for rent .... that just sounds dirty!

So, a while back, Dayo sponsored a contest to get more free layouts available to the MWG community. I cant find where the layouts mailed to Dayo were posted to MWG, but I had posted the entire layout I created. So, I wanted to link you guys to that thread. Feel free to use that layout for learning purposes or whatever. PS, it will look better if you create your own graphics. Free Layout Competition Thread

Thank you for understanding! I currently have about $6000 worth of wireframes, $9000 worth or software, and $30,000 in tuition and only god and my husband knows how many hours of creation time and course work (now you all know why I cant afford to sue anyone lol). I cant put a price on things when there is so many variables, it just depends on what the client wants.

How about, I have more work than I can get done in a reasonable amount of time, so you cant afford me right now. Hows that for a price tag? And some of my renders do include freely available wireframe products that have verry expensive injections, and some of them have custom creations, and other have purchased wireframes, while most of them are built from any combination of the ubove. I would think that affects my price. But what has that got to do with improving the quality of my work? Id like to see suggestions, what you like / don't like.

I do lots of work for clients. I am pretty swamped atm, price range is by quote for specific pieces. Limitations are discussed during quote process. There are a lot of limits on what I can create at an affordable price. Mostly I can create pieces that have people, animals (both real and fantasy), and buildings in them. Plants are a four letter word, and forests ..... dont get me started. But enough $$ can make anything happen. However, I am pretty booked up for the time being. What Id really like is to see feedback on this stuff.

SO, I been gone a while with college finals, and am on holiday for a bit, but wanted to share some of the stuffs I been working on last few days to get feedback. more uploading soon.

Thanks guys for the advice on getting it back online, Looks like this is pretty limited to the two games, but it still sucks that we have to go through this. I had no idea the most successful game got to call dibs on a 3 column layout (even tho mine is only 2). Anyone with internet can go to w3schools and learn to do simple css. But they would have known that if they had designed their own instead of paying a fortune .... if anyone would like, you can feel free to pay me a fortune for a good layout, just don't shut down any games BC of it.   Update. Your Guy's advice is awesome! As of Nov/13/2010 3:16:11AM Battle For Purgatory was put back online. I don't believe they even had to check with the Mccodes owners where I provided my paypal receipt for the licence. I can now continue to develop this game.

either that, or your players need to stop being so lewd O.o j/k I had to share the mental picture I had of your players activities in your game O.O

IDGAF if they restrict access or not, its not my work on their site, and I wont ever claim it, or copy it. ESP If I can do comparable work after one semester of school.

ummm, thats BC I am the artist on both games. *facepalms* and If Immortal Night wants to bitch about their graphics, perhaps they should have hired someone who didn't use images made from base victoria4 framework (available at http://www.daz3d.com free of charge) for their 3d renderings used in the header that they paid over $5000 (strictly according to roumor) for. I'm currently a student at edited in the game art and design program sorry if I am able to create comparable stuff in my fist semester. I wish some sucker would pay me a fortune for it. Both games referring to Darkness Realm and Battle for Purgatory.

Both games that have been shut down are valid licence holders .... http://www.battleforpurgatory.com and http://www.darkness-realm.com or http://www.darknessrealm.com If it will save the whole licence debate, I encourage CB and Dabomstew to confirm these sites are licensed in this thread. Unfortunately, I don't have the funds available to hire a lawyer for a game that was not generating much income. Im more curious than anything.

It has come to my attention that I am not the only Mccodes Licence holder that has been shut down by the owners of another game. They have done this based on the claim that our sites are "complete rip offs of" another game. I was not aware that because they have made and developed a game similar to mccodes, or possibly even with the mccodes licence, that they have reign to shut down mccodes based games? So I am wondering, is this an isolated incedent limited to two games? Or is this an epidemic that threatens all Mccodes licence holders? Please post to this thread if you have been shut down by them.

Ive been away for a few weeks while I moved across town, but Ive been wondering, is this competition still open. Has a winner been picked, and where can the free themes be viewed on MWG? I know that Dayo is offering the themes free of charge on his site, but shouldn't they be made available on MWG as well? And, as a suggestion to wrap this up, can we get a thread where all properly submitted entries can be viewed and voted on? something a bit cleaner than the 4 pages in this thread would be great.

so, is there a winner on this yet, if not, when will the polls be up?

I wish That the commanders of the world's military groups could carry the burdens that are placed on family members. Let them be the ones who worry, the ones who don't sleep, the ones who care for the family in the absence of the person serving. Let them be the ones who pick up the pieces of shattered lives. Then lets see how often leaders send nations into war.
