Hi all,
I am a developer who is writing a poly/subd modeling plugin for 3dsmax, in my free time. I have released the latest version a year ago,
although I have updated it alot. Now I am developing the next version and am trying to make it alot more user friendly and easier to
use. I have thought about the workflow and ui design recently and come up with a simple toolbar-type ui, where there are only tools,
seperate from the tool properties. There are more to it, but I will cut it short.
The only obstacle for me is to design the button images, which are relatively simple. I have included a picture where you can see both
the ui and how the icons might look. Most of the tools are variations of a cube, where an edge is chamfered, or a polygon is extruded.
So I am wondering if there would be anyone to design or make button images following my design? All I need is simple, clear and
elegant button images. I will include the artist's name in the about section, which is a really notable credit, as the software is used by
some high profile film and game companies with the addition of highly talented individual artists.
The ui image is located at www.orionflame.com/light/new ui.png
Please check out orionflame.com for more information.
Thanks,
Light

Thanks bichur.
@light:
So do we contact you personally to get specifics on the individual icons? (i.e., 'this icon needs to symbolize tool xyz'...Im not seeing the info on orionflame.com)

Yeah, but before that you can send me a sample similar to two icons I have put on the ui, so I can see if it is ok to continue. I think vectoral graphics might make it more elegant, ie making the wireframe more uniform.
