Title: vdrift looking for artists

About VDrift:
VDrift is a cross-platform, open source driving simulation made with drift racing in mind. This game is in active development but is already very playable. Currently the game features:
* Simple networked multiplayer mode
* Very realistic physics
* Fully modeled tracks, scenery and terrain
* Many tracks and cars imported from other games
* Basic replay system with Skip Forward/Skip Backward
* Joystick, mouse and keyboard input filtering
* Driver aids: automatic shifting, traction control, anti-lock braking
* Highly configurable controls

VDrift aims to be one of the most realistic open source racing games available, not only for drifting, but for grip and rally racing as well. Play against the time, against an AI, or against other players over a network. VDrift is licensed under the GPLv2.

VDrift uses the following technology:
Programming
- C++ (g++)
- OpenGL
- SDL
- ODE
- Vamos
3D Art
- blender
- anything else that can export files blender can read

Help Wanted:
1) We are searching for artists who are willing to produce realistic models of cars and racing tracks. The game features several cars and tracks imported from other games but few original works.

2) We are searching for audio experts who can collect high quality sounds of engines (at various RPMs), tire squeals, and so on.

No monetary compensation is provided, but participation in the project would make an excellent resume-builder. The last release of VDrift has been downloaded over 125,000 times and has been distributed on magazine CDs. Soon, VDrift will also included in some major Linux distributions -- possibly with the cars and tracks you've designed installed by default.
