Hey everyone! I recently got forwarded an email from Dennis McGrogan at USC asking for Modelers and Animators who may be interested in working on a game. If you’re interested in their project, shoot him an email at mcgrogan@usc.edu.
Here is the original email:
My name is Dennis McGrogan and I’m working on a pitch for a student game project at University of Southern California that we’re looking to have approved by the end of March. Currently we have a strong team of engineers, but our game is in need of some modelers and animators.
My team’s high-concept document can be found here: https://docs.google.com/a/usc.edu/document/d/1zW8-Jp71VfZdTwbC9KR4Amy_h9g3v8XfdLp4-63bGOM/edit
But, for those of you that are looking for a short but sweet description: Demon Hunter is a dungeon-crawler seeking to revitalize the action RPG genre by focusing on deep, environmental driven gameplay. We’re looking to capture the narrative and general art style of the Diablo series, while adding in emergent behavior through interesting use of the gameworld.
I hope you might know of some students that would be interested, and if so could you please give them my e-mail? It’s mcgrogan@usc.edu
Thanks for your time,
-Dennis McGrogan

then type the following in the textbox
from UVDeluxe import uvdeluxe
uvdeluxe.createUI()
after that, go to file and click ” save script to shelf” name it SuperBadassUltimateUVDeluxeTool, or just UVDeluxe
