id like to contribute with 3d art, is there a free program i could use? i used to mod for warcraft 3, and used some programs specifically designed for it to create my models, so, even if i can salvage some artistic experience from that time, technically, i have to start to learn everything else from scratch.
also, i vote realistic and grimdark

Blender is a good one, hard to learn though. I've heard that milkshape 3D is a good beginner's one, though it isn't free, there's a free trial, I think it's 30 days.
Blender is the way to go. I also found it a little intimidating at first, with the inconventional interface. While I'm no expert now, I feel really comfortable working with it.
i'm thinking about blender, but i'd like to hear from the dev wich formats does he intend to support
More than likely OBJ. It's common and easy to handle. And Blender's very capable of using it.
Yes, OBJ is what I have found works best in Irrlicht (the graphics engine I'm using). It's really not that hard to switch formats if we need to later.
I'm reading up on how to use blender... I'll try to get a revolving door out soon. (As for a giant piston, I think that might be similar to what I'm thinking for a floodgate.)
Honestly, I could go either way on cartoonish or realistic, but I don't like grimdark, and think it's overdone and things with it generally take itself too seriously.
Frankly, even if we made things as cutesy as a game of Lemmings, then, just like Lemmings, it would be black humor anyway when all the cute little heads came flying off in sprays of blood, or they tried to swim in magma...
Speaking of which, I should probably make kittens my first creatures, just so we can model them exploding when they hit the bottom of pits.
We need splodin cats
I'm already pretty proficient with Blender (or maybe Accomplished. heh.) I'm not so great at organics, but I'd be more than happy to help out with furniture and workshops and the like.
Great!
