Site for requesting animation work?

Miscellaneous Forums/General Discussion/Site for requesting animation work?

I need a rendering of a game of snooker for a product I'm currently building (after putting it off for years). I'm looking for a 2D overhead rendering of the table, and I need a full game played out. I've requested similar things before, but I now realise I need to pay for such a specialised animation (not too much though hopefully). I don't need any people or even cues, I just need the balls and the table itself.

Are there any good sites for requesting such work?

I like the look of these tables (even though it's pool): http://www.garagegames.com/products/113/images/?current=0

Shame it has to be snooker and not pool. Otherwise I'd have given you permission to just capture a game of Kick Shot Pool in top view mode with something like Fraps and you could have used that. Then all you'd have had to pay is $20 or whatever Fraps costs.

You'll probably want to go to one of the graphics communities like CGChat or PolyCount. ( I assume by requesting you mean paying, because I doubt you'll find anyone to do it for free. An entire game being played is going to be a lot of animation even though the the scene won't change much. )

A few blitzers have done snooker games, haven't they?

I can think of two, but I believe both licensed them to Idigicon, so may not have permission to allow it to be used like this.

Yeah - I'm sure you're right.

long live the blitzers! olé!

yay <(^.^<) w00t <(^.^)> yay (>^.^)> yay

Crikey, I thought I was back at blitzcoder there, for a minute.

/me slaps himself

Gabriel: Your pool game looks great... The look is perfect! Is it possible to get the computer playing itself? 'Tis a shame it doesn't play snooker too. I actually want rendering of snooker and pool tables.

I am looking to pay for the animation, although free would be best as I'm not looking to make money from the venture.
