| Hey guys, I was on Reddit when all of a sudden "Jedimastert" gave a casting call for modelers and Blender experts, I showed him a model of a pony I had made a while ago, and here I am! Here it is. There is a bit of smoothing needed between the back legs and body but I can sort that out. I'm so excited to work on this project! |

| Welcome to the forums. I'm Piedoom0 (aka Senntenial), head of the project. That is quite a nice model you've got there, and I'm certainly interested on what else you have to offer. Would you mind sharing some other works you have done if any? Preferably finished models. Also what are your skills? Just modeling, or have you delved into things like rigging and texturing? | |

| Agreed, the model is fantastic. I think I can to a bit for the smoothing of the legs to the body, but I'd have to look at the .blend file first. But seriously, waaaaay better than I could do. | |

| I am primarily a modeler/texturer, but I know the ins and outs of Blender very well. I also have experience with coding and Photoshop, have a good eye for design, and am a fast learner. Here is my DeviantArt. (Also my friends tell me I have buckets and buckets of patience for mundane and repetitive tasks ) |

| I'm gonna try and clean the model up and make it lower poly before submitting it, cause right now the unsubdivided version is sitting around 6500 vertices |

| I was gonna ask about that. Well done. I'd still like to see it. How much did you sculpt as apposed to extrude? | |

| I'm really liking the work that you've got on your dA. It still looks as though you've been using more materials than textures, but I'll take your word for it. What really struck me was your computer fan. Being a steampunk-esque game we're gonna need a lot of machinery-type stuff and technical models being done. I'll talk with Neveda and AMT later on today and decide your fate. Also if you sculpted any of that pone model I commend you, Blender's sculpt tools can be extremely temperamental. | |

| Also it should be noted that Jedimastert is AMT. I don't think he said that... | |

| My bad, you're right. I'm the guy who posted the help wanted ads posted on Reddit. Again, thanks for responding. I really dig the feel of your models and such. Me gusta. | |

| I dont really do much sculpting, but I do use it to smooth models sometimes, and I do know how to sculpt. |

| Okay so I completely retopologized, smoothed and merged the legs, and decreased the vertex count 5:1. How does it look? What is your preferred 3d filetype? I usually use .obj just cause, but I hear a lot of people use .fbx. (Of course I'll supply the .blend as well) |

| That is pretty great. And you did a good job lowering the polycount, it's barely noticeable. May I ask the number of tris? But anyways, good news for you. Our little triumvirate has ruled in your favour. We've all found what you have in store to be quite impressive, and are happy to welcome you on to our little devteam. I'll grant you Dev access in a moment, and in the time being I'll ask for your Skype username (if you have one, of course) which will make chatting a ways easier. And now here comes the general disclaimer which I've finally written out in google docs for later use: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1vj0JXJBSLizw2L-QcgoDi6QNTFgGTlOgEZ9XgXvvNjc/editWelcome! | |

| In that render, the tri count is 4284, but I have a subsurf modifier over everything. If i take it off, the tri count drops to 1428. Thanks so much for having me on the Dev Team! This will be my first project I'm involved in. My Skype username is ~~*removed*~~

| Wow! I'm pretty impressed with the smoothing. So you do most of your sculpting with vertices? Also, welcome to the team! I'm glad we have you on board. As for files, I'd prefer source files. I can take care of all of the exporting needs. For future notice, Unity uses fbx files. | |

| Darn google docs.
--Official game thingy contract agreement
So anyway, if you’re reading this it means you’ve been selected for our development team. There are a few things you should know, so please read through this poorly written and immaturely sarcastic contract:
-This is a free to play game. Being a free to play game, it means we have a grand total of $0 spending cash. So you aren’t being paid.
-What happens in the dev forum stays there. Don’t go blurting out the newest updates before they are formally released.
-Don’t be afraid to voice an opinion or suggestion. I’m a relaxed guy. None of us are gonna’ get offended or ban you IRL.
That’s actually about it. I don’t know why I had to go and write up this document. But I hope you all have fun doin’ this. | |

| Here's the .blendI dont quite understand what you mean by "sculpting with vertices"... Are you using Photoshop or GIMP? |

| Sadly, GIMP.
It's a good solid program, I just prefer Photoshop. | |

| Soooooooo... I havent received a skype friend request yet, and i dont see anything to suggest that i have "Dev Access"... Sorry if i'm rushing this, but after the flurry of activity, it kind of seems a bit too quiet. |

| No? Strange. A thousand apologies.
On to other things. How are you at level creation? | |

| If ATM is meaning the sculpt tools, well I find it much easier just to do good 'ol vert manipulation. Sculpting is better for higher poly more detailed stuff. | |

| I did mean that. I'm looking for a pretty short "2.5D" level for mucking about. I'm not very good at level design, though. | |
