I'm looking for a collaboator. 3d sporty female characters

swp1970

I have absolutely no experience at all in the world of 3d modelling but I am good in another field. I run a game, played by email and Youtube, called Gridball. this isn't a computer game as such. It's a fantasy sports game I run for colleagues, friends and family. The buy a fictional team and follow their fortunes in a computer-generated championship. There are no graphics involved. The players watch a scoreboard that updates as the game time counts down.

 

Here's the pitch. I'd love to see my characters brought to life and am looking for a talented somebody who enjoys creating 3d characters who would be interested in the project. These were the closest I found to what I was looking for https://www.daz3d.com/x-fashion-uniform-03-for-genesis-8-females Rather than having the same character in different colours, I'm looking for different characters in the specific colours of my teams. I would give my collaborator the brief of what the team colours are and you would build the character.

This is the slightly unusual bit. I wouldn't have the first clue what to do with a downloaded 3d character so all I would want is to be able to have images of the character in two or three poses, which I would use on my emails to my players. The character would remain yours to sell on the site with full rights to reuse my team names and colours.

Here's the bonus. Although I wouldn't be using the 3d character in its proper purpose because I don't know how, and would only be using images of the characters. I would still be willing to pay just for the images. I'd offer $5 US, just for the images. And this would be an ongoing offer. I'd take as many characters [images] as you want to make. I think it would be a really enjoyable project for the person who wants to make them. Let me know if you fancy it.

 

*Gridball is the name of the game and it's a fictitious sport invented in 1951 and is imagined as a glamourous women's sport. The teams all represent different cities and each team has a unique set of team colours. The style of kit is open to interpretation and the designer would have carte blanche, if they wanted to, to be as inventive as they wish.

Why do I only want the images and not the actual characters? I'm not knowledgable in how to use and work with 3d characters. i just think they look brilliant. I don't need characters for the game, I just think it would be a buzz for my players to see an image of the characters when I send the emails to the players. The game itself is run by random number generation and the players watch the games unfold on Youtube but only get to see a scoreboard.

Moved to Art Studio as it is an offer of work, not a freebie.

I've been waiting all day to see if anybody would reply and so far not so here goes:

Wow, I've never been a collaboator before. I'm no longer the forum's worst image renderer, lost that title awhile back. Worked hard to keep it but ya know ...

Also I no work for money, so ANYBODY wanting to take this over go right ahead.

In the meantime I'm sure there's a few questions people might like some answers for ... like excuse me but what IS this sport, falling down dead when planes crash? Because aside from the clothing, hair and character details, there'd be the matter of poses. And backgrounds ... or do you want the figures rendered on a clear background or white or ? I have a baseball field. A basketball and oh yeah, a bat or two.

Now many of us have already a collection of clothing, hair and poses but still, if you want any items people do not have, they would need to purchase those and that expense would fly your way. Many people are "members" and get better prices too ... just something to be aware of.

For the base models, we have basic wear clothing items ... pardon the poke through, didn't make a quick morph to fix that. One of the poses that kinda looks like somebody falling down, think it was a dance pose or something.

It's Saturday night, there is a major sale on in the store for a few days more [likely] so it may take a few days before people read through the forums again and hopefully have some better ideas for helping you out there.

And to note, most of us already have a rather extensive library of "characters" of several skin shades ... I know I do.

Edit to add:

Here are a couple of suggestions for pose sets, one includes the ball props too.

Thanks for responding. The sport itself is completely fictitious. The poses I'd be looking for are just hands on hips etc. Not actually playing the sport, because it's left up to the player's own interpretation of what the sport is. It's more the kit, As for poses? In the UK in real sport, the TV companies get Premier League Soccer players [for example] to pose for the camera, which they then use when showing the team line ups before games on TV. The USA, Australia etc do the same with their own domestic televised sports. I'm sure most folk who watch team sports have seen the kind of poses they strike. That's how I imagine the fictitious Gridballers. Backgrounds? Gridball is set in an arena so Basketball backgrounds are good but, in all honesty, a plain white background is fine for me. As you mention, folk may already have the characters, which would be great. I just need them dressed in my team's kit. That link of a member's work was as good as spot-on as I could find. those kits are ideal, just not the right colours for my teams.
