Lets fund some new artwork for UMA!

Hi - My name is Jaimi McEntire. Many of you might know me for the work I do on UMA - the Unity Multipurpose Avatar. UMA is an Open Source framework for generating Skinned Meshes in Unity - it's also a full character system, with wearable clothing, different races, slots, stackable textures, etc - it's completely configurable! And it's completely free! But, let's be honest - the sample characters included are showing their age:

So that's what this fundraiser is for - let's raise the capital to hire an artist (or artists) to create some new texture sets for the characters! A realistic-looking texture set (with albedo, normal, smoothness & detail map) and a Toon character (just albedo/normal/smoothness). And if we beat the goal, we can add even more - faces, clothing. etc!

I've been working on the UMA project for the past 5 years, and am currently the only developer, though I hope that will change in the near future. I am not, however, the original developer - He, and many others, have come and gone since its creation. But that is the way open-source projects work.

All art created with this money - and I won't spend a penny on anything else - will be included either with the main download or as a separate download, but will always remain free. In fact, I will release it under the MIT license, so people can even use it for other projects!

So let's pay someone to make us some nice art - artists need to eat too - and then give it away to our game development friends to make some great games!
