From technology to politics to video games; these are the random thoughts of a geek with too much time on his hands
Full details coming soon

Heavy Equipment is one of the largest skin projects ever attempted, with dozens of skins for almost every application imaginable.  It took dozens of skinners months to do, but the result was without a question one of the most impressive skin sets released.  Nothing has really come close since then.

In the past year we've seen groups of skinners get together to do their own smaller skin projects, and while the results have been superb, they lacked scale.  And of course there was some disagreement over being able to call them community projects since they weren't open to absolutely everyone.

Well, in the coming weeks we're going to start to talk about the next true community project.  It will be open to anyone who wants to participate and will accept skins for any application you care to skin.  Jafo himself will be leading the charge on the project and organizing volunteers and work.

As a bit of a preview, the theme of the project is going to be a worn/corroded metal.  Heavy Equipment was so clean and pristine, but now we're going to try something with some years on it, something with more "character" I guess.

If you're interested in the idea, start lining up.  We'll have more details for you soon when we're ready to officially kick things off.  I just wanted to let you know it's coming and see if we can start kicking up some interest and ideas.

I will offer up what help I can Dx or LS ( but I think Jafo may have dibs on the LS).

No....even with Heavy Equipment there was more than one LS author.  Deven [Dmer] did the first ....I did later/updates...

Just Thinking? Would You want just metalic sounds like creeking metal clamboring metal or do want some other sounds LIke steam, engines, hammering and stuff like that? I have a bunch of metal sounds but i dont know if that would be interesting enough? I know its a little early to be asking but When you get an idea of what you may want for sounds let me know and i will work on it! I want it to be Perfection! And I have enough time to perfect. I really love the idea and the images that fuzzy logic posted are GReat. If it will be anything allong these lines I Really cant wait! I do hope that there will be some color like in those pictures(the truck) Really creative artistic and i love the idea ALLOT!

I'm kinda waiting for this.. Is this project stopped or something? I hope not...
on Mar 11, 2008
No I don't this has stopped. I get the impression they are just keeping things behind closed doors until they have something to show.  
on Mar 11, 2008
OK, then we'll just have to wait

They are probably looking for good docks, not the junk you offer


I'd like to see some of your work. Lets see what you can do.


You obviously don't get around much...Messiah has some awesome and impressive docks in his library.

Lets see your library of docks Natas...Oh...thats right...you only have 2 knockoffs of other docks!
