Hello!

As a part of my preparations to work for the Multiverse team as a modeller, i will be very happy to know the answers of the following questions:
1. What modeling projects exactly are available for anyone to model?
2. Are there any requierments to for the models? Tetxtures/Materials? Polygon count? File format?
3. Is there any text that is directed towards modeling for the Multiverse project?

Multiverse uses a custom file type -.mesh it is based on Ogres .mesh but I think it is slightly different
You will need to export the models from your modelling program into .dae (collada) and then import that using the collada import tool
You can download the collada exporter here: http://opencollada.org/download.html

We use .dds for all of our textures due to the low memory requirement and speed.

There is a bunch of information relating to creating assets for multiverse here:

Hi Haste,

I presume you found out about the project on the Blender forums?

Let me begin by saying Hello and Welcome!

With regards to current modelling projects (I will be coming up with a fancy code-name at some point - ideas?), I am in the process of setting up a Project page using Google Docs and Sosius (collaboration tool), where you will be able to find task lists, concepts, and other documentation regarding the actual modelling requirements (e.g. poly count, texturing rules and so on)

I'm currently working on our new website at the moment, o am a little sidetracked/
So as of yet, there are no projects per se, but feel free to work on anything that takes your fancy, either for your own game, or for sale on the Marketplace.


Thanks

Tristan
