about

main aim is to bring artists and developers closer together and encourage contact and dialog

  • a good search for existing free art
    • focused on searching/linking rather than hosting
      • index stuff from existing content repositories, project svn/cvs repositories and forums
    • preview images / thumbnails of textures,models,etc
    • tagging
    • licensing infos
    • contact info to reach the authors...
  • a database for projects and people
    • list artists and interests (concept drawing, model, anim, texture, 2d-art, texture, sound, music..)
    • list developers and interests (programming languages, experience with frameworks,)
    • list of projects using free art
    • cross referencing / associations
      • which people are involved in which project
      • assets used in multiple projects (textures, models, sound, music,...)

organisation

  • people possibly interested in participating :
    • LeChuck from unixgamedev.org
    • ghoulsblade
    • more to come hopefully =)

technology ideas worth investigating

  • we'll probably use http://www.cakephp.org/ rapid development webframework similar to ruby-on-rails
  • svn list : search for (textures, models, audio, ...) in opensource project repositories svn/cvs
  • blender batch mode / importers : automatically generate mesh previews

existing websites to consider
