How do you go about getting resources without funding?

A Sintiq is also nice.
But in my case, I use a nice Genius drawing tablet.
For my 3D sculpting and Blender sculpting too.

 

I think I actually prefer a screenless tablet. I've worked with both, and once you're used to the screenless tablet it feels just as comfortable to use, while having the added benefit of not putting your hand/stylus in the way of what you're drawing on.
When I draw on paper I constantly rotate it around to avoid this issue, and when I was using a tablet with a screen I kept feeling the need to do the same thing.

 

This thread is a circus.

I'm genuinely laughing at how off topic it's gotten.

ippdev, I am sorry that I offended you, but I feel there's nothing constructive in this conversation and am just going to disengage. No hard feelings.

 

Since it's kinda related I'll link my thread on similar issue.

As for getting resources without funding, there's many sites with royalty-free assets, like for example OpenGameArt (dunno if they have 3D section though).

I'd suggest you use this only for free games or until your game makes enough money to pay professional artists to redo those as there is likelihood that same asset was used in another game. You don't want your players say things like "Oh, this uses same enemy model as other game I've played. HOW LAME!" now, do you?

 

Actually, if we're talking just basic Indie mobile or web games, which we pretty much have to be for someone just starting out, I doubt most players would even notice. Especially if you just use the asset as a base and make tweaks to it.

 

Yes.
There were some Game Dev guys way back, who posted a similar comment to yours, on the Makehuman forums.
And even on the Daz Forums as well.
You'll find quite a few freelance 3D modellers on those forums, who will be more than willing, to make 3d models and game assets for you, once you are willing to pay them, a good fee.

One particular dev team on the Daz Forums, were able to get a 3d modeller, who they never met, to make 3d assets for them too.

Some might accept a one time fee to make models for you.
Others might charge in a different way.
It also depends on how much you are willing to pay them too.
Some might make the models for you, free of any connection to it.
And some might do it for free, because they have alot of free time on their hands. Very rare!
Etc. Etc. Etc. Etc.

1)What type of 3D Assets are you looking for, or interested in?

2)And how much are you willing to pay for them Mr. Sajid?
