Hey Nilllzz

I am an INDIE Game developer and 3D modeller.

godeken.deviantart.com to see what i am capable of making.

I was wondering, would you like to make some 3D pokemon in game? I also have a bit of c# (qualifications) and XNA under my belt. If you can, is there any way to create a method that could search for a 3d model and if non found, place the 2d picture there like you currently have. That would allow you to instead place a 3D model where the pokemon is placed in battle with model animations? (models take time but can be done) This way I can provide models to you guys and you can just import them into the Launcher folder for download as soon as they are available.

I am a father and currently dont have any way to keep busy besides 0wning @ Dota2, if you want i can create some animated models for you guys (just suck at bump mapping). Honestly i haven't even tried the game yet, however i do like to contribute to an awesome project... and this project has potential. It is something the original developers didnt have when making any of their games... a community!

That sounds awesome
If you don't mind, you could create a first rough test model.
I know that it is possible to import .x and .fx models to XNA, I have to see how it would work out in my engine.
But I can try to use the model ingame.

And I can surely make a way to determine if a model exists and replace it with a sprite.

So yeah, I'd really like a few 3D models for battle. That would be the most awesome addition in history of history of everything.

Lets test it some time, any way i can contact you to talk? when i get home (in the next hour) i should have about 400 different pokemon models which i will modify and tweak to work for your engine. (freebies are always welcome)

I will edit the skins to make them look more Anime like and then also add a few animations in them. Then what we can do, i have taken a look at your wiki. I can animate each and every Pokemon attack individually for each pokemon. I dont understand the import part for the XNA engine but im sure .fx files can have the full animation inside similar to a .mdl file that contains all the animations in a .smb format. Will do some research for you...

Community can help me with the animations. We can get them to post some .gif pics to show how they attack This way the best pic will be animated into the model.

Chat just now...
