Thank you for all your replies
Hello,
I am looking to hire a 3d modeler to help make a few 3d models for a mod Im making for the video game Shogun 2.
an idea of what these characters look like can be seen here:

What this character looks like can be found here:
the first one is probably a bit too high of a poly count for Shogun, we wouldnt need that much detail but i wouldnt complain if there was.http://img04.deviantart.net/6eb2/i/2014/130/7/1/dynasty_warriors___zbrush_model_by_michael_joshua_by_3dsensemediaschool-d7hb3wx.jpghttps://www.google.com/search?q=Lu+Bu&safe=off&espv=2&biw=1388&bih=741&site=webhp&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiPyaGwoeHJAhWGrD4KHdReCOsQ_AUIBigB#imgrc=e9t2m6AGGIi0zM:part of this process will have to involve figuring out what format these "unit_variant files" containing the 3d model and parts are in so the game engine recognizes them.
Here is a Tutorial on putting models in the right format so the game can use them

I have experience modding the pre exisiting files i just suck at 3d modeling so this job I can not do alone. I have a low budget of near $250 which may be to low for some, but perhaps could be good for someone who needs to practice,add more models to their portfolio or wants to play this mod I am making for the TW series ha.
I'd be willing to go up on the price for a real professional, but keep in mind I am not a studio or anything, I am just a gamer whos trying to make a video game I like better instead of buying new ones for $60 that are meh.
If you've made it through this post and are feeling ambitious before hearing back from me, or just want to save us both time and see if you can open the files in Max, heres a link to a few meshs from the game (OdaDaiymofolder/unitparts/japan), the plug in you need, an old Lu Bu model that may somehow be of use and a packfilemanager used for opening up other packs in the future.http://1drv.ms/1IWHSAz

1 Model based off of Lu Bu from Dynasty Warriors with the potential for more models in the future.

(Including armor, Halberd, Hair tassles and custom face, will also have simply to re texture a prexisiting horse from brown to Red)
The technical facts I dont exactly know,
What i can give you is 2 tutorial threads that explains the format and process of getting the model into the proper format for the game to read.
Thread 1 - Tutorial

Thread 2
- seems to do more with technical errors and trouble shooting written by the same guy who went on to write the above tutorial, could be of use

Then the way to go from there would be for me to send you a link to some files with the prexisiting game models in them, and you open those up in a 3d program and examine those and go from there on finding out the poly counts and how they are formatted.
About 19:00 into this video this guy is picking and choosing from pre exisiting IG models so it will give you and idea what were working with and the point were trying to end up at

It sounds like a headache but really shouldnt be as big of a run around as it sounds at first.
