well i am new to this community and i am a 3D Modeler. I have a game idea and need a programmer. Obvoisly i cannot pay them for there services only pay them for the profit we come into from the game if it is a sucess.So i asked around and eventually was reccomended to search this community of talented programmers, as the person used to be a member here. So i entered the chat and asked people how a 3D modeler would get a Coder for a game they replied simply Make a Portfolio online so people can see work you have done beforehand. So far its only been up for a day and none of my work has been posted yet. But now i just wanna ask the rest of you what you think the best way for me to find a willing programmer is?

Make a portfolio and start making some of the models needed for your game idea.

If your models are good, you'll have no problems finding a programmer that will buy into your idea.

Yes, it's that simple. Make some of the models needed for your game and flesh out a design document a bit. Most programmers, with enough time on their hands won't be able to resist breathing a little life into some cool models.

What Radan said is probably your best bet. Remember, everyone(well, everyone here at least) has a couple of game ideas of their own in their head, it's your job to convince them that yours is worth doing. How? By showing that you believe it. If you've got just an idea and not much else, it probably won't(read:almost never) happen. If you've got a well thought out idea, a design document, some concept art done and some models in the works, you've got a much better chance.

Basically, start working on your game, doing whatever your role would be if you had a team, and show it around and you may get some people interested.
