Images for Games

2 points by mrfish 17y ago ↗ HN

I have an idea to build a blackberry game based on some tech I recently implemented on another project. It uses SVG to create interactive web pages that work on Blackberries, mobile phones... pretty much everything except things like the iphone. (no comment)

So the problem is where do i go to get graphics for characters. I need space ships, aliens, space marines that kind of thing. But I have no idea where to look. Anybody have any ideas? Anybody want to help? Obviously I can't draw and have no budget yet so professional help is probably out of the question.

http://www.turbosquid.com is a good place. There are plenty of royalty-free 3D models available that you and render down to a 2D bitmap.

The http://www.gamedev.net forums might be able to help you focus your search further.

Regarding the iphone: I'm sure the canvas tag works, and I believe there's more than one Javascript canvas->SVG layer floating around.
