First Strike (Star Wars mod for Battlefield 2142) Needs Artists

Hi there,

Just joining scifi-meshes today I've been most impressed with the work on display here, and would like to see if there is any interest from any of the members in doing a little work on a Star Wars mod project. That project is First Strike, a Star Wars modification for Battlefield 2142, the mod has been going for a few years now and have a solid number of maps already completed and out there for the public to play, including such iconic battles as the battle of Yavin above the Death Star, the ground battle for Endor, and the evacuation of Hoth, not to mention action taking place in other key locations such as Tatooine and EU locations such as Rhen Var and Ryloth.

The key drive of our current development is an ambitious recreation of the Battle of Hoth, vehicles for this map are complete, but we need people to assist with the creation of the finalised terrain, not to mention asset creation detailed environment modelling and texturing for the massive Echo Base complex we have already laid out. We are short on artists which is making this project take much longer than anticipated. We are looking for talented 3D artists with a passion for all things Star Wars to join our development team and get this map out there, we have planned the most ambitious and completist version of this most iconic of Star Wars battle sequences ever to be committed to a computer game, mod or official. Obviously being a project based on the Star Wars franchise, this is a non-profit venture, so no money will change hands here, it is all for the love of it, and of course the pleasure of having your work out there as part of a fantastic Star Wars PC game to rival the best that Lucasarts have to offer.

Depending on how the release of this map goes down once completed there may be further project opportunities if artists are willing to cover more ground that First Strike has yet to touch, such as the space based battle over Endor (we have yet to build Mon Cal cruisers, so there is a project there), and maps based on Bespin: Cloud City and perhaps something involving the interior of the Tantive IV, but one thing at a time. If you are interesting in contributing work to First Strike, or joining the development team, please get in touch. We tend to work in 3DS Max, though obviously work can be converted from Maya, also experience using the BF2 editor would be beneficial, though not essential.

Below are links to the First Strike forums where you can find more info on the mod:
