Would anyone be interested in building some 3D models or maps?
Potentially, we could use them in a fan game, possibly.

I kinda, sorta, maybe, plan to design a version of the Xtremists
building/tower. It would have to be a really good design.
I lack motivation but maybe I can make a semi-decent prototype
by drawing a design and making a 3D version of it on the PC.

Try Google Sketch Up, Blender, etc.

Oliver, didn't you make a Foster's Home remake in Sims or something?
Were you able to export/convert the model to a different file type and save it?
Or not?

Oh well.
I think Grumpy could do a good job but it's just a suggestion.
If the coders make some progress, it would be nice if we already made
some prototype models you know, to throw in.

It can be a fun project. Even if it doesn't work out, you can still have
fun being creative!  

Any initial ideas?
Burger Frenzy supermarket?   

oh yeah, then I'd draw my dorm room since everyone would get their own room in the xtreme building lol.

you get a thumbs up from me, I always wanted to make a 3d chibi version of my ff character but I cant lol

Sculptris might be a good sculpting software for you.
Or Google Sketch Up.

Yeah, that was back in June. Never went back to it since. Though between then and now, I got two more expansion packs; Ambitions and Into the Future. And some parts of Foster's will need to be updated. And since FusionFall was futuristic, I'll have to replace almost everything.

I did update Oliver's house to make it more futuristic (Even adding Dexlabs colours for the tech). What file do you want them in? I'm not sure if I can export them, but I'll try.

As for Sketch-Up, I can do some stuff. After downloading it and messing around. I'm a little rusty, as I got bored of it a couple years back.

EDIT: Make that 3 more EPs. Forgot Island Paradise.

Not bothered to get a pencil and paper.    
But I messed around in Google Sketch Up for a few minutes...

And made this!


Just kidding.    
I made this rubbish...   



If I was drawing on paper, I'd probably incorporate a DNA helix-like component like this:

You'll get the hang of Sketch-Up someday, X.

Or rather, I did get the hang of it.
As always, I lose past skills I don't exercise.

Right, well... You'll have to get someone else to do one of those ideas for an Xtreme base. Because unfortunately, I can't create them in Sims 3. I could do something similar if I had the Late Night EP or Roaring Heights. But I don't.  

Though I could do something small. Like 4-5 stories high or something.  

Interior:

Exterior:

You'd have to retexture the exterior though. I'm sure you could find it for free on a hidden forum.

Or just re-colour it in Xtreme colours.

Hello guys, I am here to say I really like what you guys are doing and would like to join your group's efforts in trying to bring back a game that of which I really liked. I have experience in Unity, and I am capable of animating characters movements, and I would really like it if you guys accepted me into your group. Here is some of my latest work:

Thank you for your time,

Teched

@Teched, sure!
Any ideas so far?

I was thinking that maybe someone could start the coding for a multiplayer server, and also we could have someone model a basic character model that the could apply clothes(Jacket, Shirt, Jeans, etc.) to your character such as we were able to do on Fusionfall. However, we won't be able to do it all at one time, I believe with the right amount of effort, we could probably accomplish a game that could perhaps be even better than the original. Although it will take time, I am willing to bet that if we all commit to the project we can achieve our goal.

I have neither coding knowledge or sufficient time/motivation
but I can do creative work once a week that will accumulate over time and be helpful.

@Teched, in Unity, how do you properly bind animation loops to keyboard keys so that when you stop pressing the key, the animation stops too?
I use Blender for animation, if that's important.

@Hannah, the thing is, I'd prefer if I/we made it ourselves to make it
more personal and awesome!
Oh and probably it would have an X on it or something.
I'll get designing once I get a graphics tablet.

Basic models are already ripped and in Wilt's/Eva's possession. I believe they are working on organizing them. Don't worry about client and server communication - we already have a plan for that. 

Right now we are procuring all the required assets and organizing them. Once we have all the assets we need, coding and game design will begin.

I PM'd you back about the group. Send Undelos a private message.

Do you have a Skype?

I've started working on Foster's again. Updates planned:

- Bathroom windows to be black on the outside
- Maze
- Washing room to have Sims 3-supplied washing machines and baskets
- Arcade to have Sims 3-supplied games
- Arcade to also have lights
- Garden to have a bigger pool
- Garden to also have washing lines
- Bloo's room to have a bunk bed

Unfortunately, as far as I know, no expansion pack has a nest, so Coco will have to sleep in an actual bed, no tree is as big as the Foster's Willow tree. And I forgot what else I was going to say.  

Money We Need Money But I Lost All The Money I Earned On Youtube When I Unlinked From My Partner Now Im Back To Base One

Finished Foster's!

Front:

Back:

These aren't their true colours. Print screen makes the picture darker than it actually is, and I couldn't be bothered to use MWSnap. So I had to mess around with the saturation a bit.  

More problems. I couldn't fit in the maze. I was hoping to use FF Foster's maze, but no. I also don't have Pets, so the Unicorn stable will be fairly... empty.

And finally X, I repeat: What file would you like it in? Also, would you like a copy of OZw's house?

@ Teched Trust me we need all the help we can get.

We are definitely making progress. Hell all of this was just an thought 3 months ago and look at where we are now.
