Gentlemen. Behold, my latest submission! I present to you the Beer Monoggle. The Beer Goggle Monocle. It's the base of a tiny broken beer bottle with a rubber ring to prevent the glass from cutting the Demoman.
I took multiple renders of it with the glass translucent and not just to see how it looked.

Damn, I wish I would be patient making maps, I normally I do simples "maps-of-a-day"

Not sure how I feel about this color scheme. It's not particularly bad, but I'm not really sure. And the specular seems to be a bit off, though I can't seem to put my finger on it. I've tweaked it a bunch of times but I can't really get it right. There's just something about it that feels off. Sometimes I feel it's too shiny, other times I feel it's not shiny enough. And I've changed the colors a bunch of times but can't get anything I'm happy with.
I might need to try some other color schemes just for a bit more visual interest. It's a bit bland right now... though, no more bland than the default pistol I suppose. Anyone have suggestions? Or do people like it how it is?
And yes I'm aware of the smoothing errors. I'll fix them eventually.
Black, Gold and Cream colors? v:v:v

I suppose I could try for the color scheme in your concept art, though I was trying to at least make it a little unique to avoid being a complete ripoff.
Only problem is that there's not many parts on the model currently that could really be colored gold. And I'm absolutely terrible at engravings so there's no hope for that.

Do [b]NOT[/b] post this in the Gun Discussion thread.
Trust me on this one.
[QUOTE=bigbadrick;30860533]Exactly, guns are still guns, if you are going to make it shoot 'magnetism' than what point is there to the shotgun part? Also if you plan on submitting it, it needs to be flexible enough to have more than just the stats you suggest.[/QUOTE]
"Magnetism" was a joke bro.
Trying to learn Blender.

Texturing engravings or modelling them? They could probably just be bump mapped on as an illusion.

My point remains valid.
Why do you continue this argument, no one cares.

Trying to do the lighting on this thing is a pain in the ass. :|
But I love the weapon too much. :v:

I'll probably fix that model tomorrow. Since it annoys me how low quality it actually is.

Can you post some screens in more normal lighting? (from the looks of the glove you're standing directly under a light)
I can't judge too well but the specular seems pretty flat across the different materials (wood, light metal, dark metal). As for visual interest, how about some dirt and grime wedged in between edges... would kinda fit with the horn theme
clicking on pictures makes everything dark and shows you the picture
Cool, very web 2.0 but i liked mediatags
Hey, do you guys remember that emporium map that was in the works?
What happened to that?
actually working on my own WWI map
Koth style
[QUOTE=Sharc;30861192]Texturing engravings or modelling them? They could probably just be bump mapped on as an illusion.[/QUOTE]
I pretty much suck at drawing so I can't really create any good-looking engravings to save my life. If you want to give it a shot, by all means, I'd be happy to try and get some cool engravings on there.

Yeah, there's definitely something wonky going on with the lighting. Must've screwed something up in the VMT or something because my specular map is fine. Too tired to look at it right now so I'll look into fixing it tomorrow.
Definitely goofed something up at some point. Understandable considering I've been awake for like 36 hours now. Tomorrow I'll probably just remake the entire texture from scratch when I'm more awake and aware of what the hell I'm actually doing.

You need to bevel some of those edges.

The huge wooden fences will do great for optimization but that it going to be boring as fuck because a) very little height variation and b) both the left and right routes onto cp2 from cp1 and from cp2 to mid are exactly the same.
Like I said before, he needs to forgot about the themeing for now and get it to play well first, also bunkers are never that huge anyway so it doesn't even make any sense. Small bunkers could be used as high risk/ lower routes though like how the bottom route under mid on badlands is or like the dropdown from cp2 to mid is on granary.

I would give it a shot, but I've got no idea how to texture.
[QUOTE=Sexy Robot;30861218]Why do you continue this argument, no one cares.[/QUOTE]
I'm telling you that as a submission, it just wont get in if you don't make changes, especially when it has such a similar shape as that other poly-count shotgun.
As a skin it is fine though, and I'm sure many will use it.

It's quite early, give it time and I'm sure he'll iron that stuff out.
Also, would anyone be up for hacking/alpha mapping the spikes and hinges off the Southern Hospitality? I made a mockup image in potatoshop and it looked alright.

I make things with more of insentive to mod, not for money.
So either way I'm happy. :3
[QUOTE=Clovernoodle;30854913]I just realized that fantastic Robot-Engie arm is doomed to never be added...
...because it requires new animations. Which, you know, Valve almost never adds.
This makes me very, very sad.[/QUOTE]
Not gonna stop me from completing it. I'll learn to animate if i must.
