Dear community,
We have always felt there is too much-unused potential in our community and concluded that we have to make use of it!
We know not everyone can contribute on a regular basis but can spare the time to craft a one-off piece of wonderment.
Therefore, we have decided it is time for another asset contest!
Aim of the contest?
New Assets!
Create a new asset which would fit into the Neocron world. A box, a picture, Event items etc. or restore an existing asset in High Definition.
Whether you use a Spec/Gloss or Metal/Roughness workflow is up to you, as long as you orient yourself on PBR guidelines for a naturalistic/realistic look.
Making Engine-ready assets:
All assets need to conform to specific standards to work with Neocron's deprecated engine:
Polygon Budget:
Up to 5k, with appropriate LoD's. LoD's must have the format: meshName_LOD0.
Texture-size: 1024px/m. Maximum texture size is 2048px.
Tools:
Any tool you feel comfortable with and that can output .PNG, .DDS or .BMP and .FBX files
Your .FBX file must contain a non-triangulated original mesh to have options for changes.
The prizes?
Every asset which we decide to include in one of the upcoming patches will be awarded the following:
* Your choice of trophy excludes CopBot Trophies as well as Bronze, Silver and Gold Cups.
Get started and we look forward to reviewing the entries! To give you time to get your entry perfected, you have until Friday 1st of August 2025 to craft and submit your entry.
Send your entry via E-Mail to xanthos@neocron-game.com with the subject "Asset Contest".
Good luck!
Your Neocron Support Team
