I expect a lot of negativity, but decided to give it a try anyway.
As far as I know the current dev team policy for 3d modelers, is that they offer their work to the mod, and in exchange they recive...appreciation and so called "fame". So lets assume that they dont feel like they need those things and would rather get something more "valuable". Is it possible that a person offering a textured model to the mod, will get some gold or crafting mats in return? All in all, he could just play NI (and gain the wealth) instead of spending hours to make that 3d model.
I suppose it could look like that:
1. the dev team makes a list of weapons (& armors) they need and create some basic guidelines (ie. maximum number of tris, LODs and so on).
2. someone offers to make a weapon from the list and shows concept sketches, photos et cetera to show what he is going to make.
3. The devs agree or not, propose changes and inform how much they can offer for that work.
4. If devs accept proposal, the creator make a textured model and sent it for the evaluation.
5. The devs make a list of things they want to be improved or changed and estimate a value of the model according to its quality.
6. If creator agrees about the proposed reward, he refines his model according to the requests (otherwise both sides may negotiate or whatever).
7. The creator sends the finished model and gets the reward. The creator is happy, the dev team is happy and everyone is happy too. The End.
I dont know how high those rewards should be. It really depends on how many work hours are required to make the particular model (for example making a shield is very easy and fast, while body armor or helmet is way more difficult and time consuming.
