TF2 Emporium VI - Games - Facepunch Forum

[QUOTE=TizzYcho;20153517]Why do we need a grenade model for the Spy? :confused:[/QUOTE] Why are you asking me? I was merely pointing out that the guy who's had this "idea" in steam forums actually borrowed it from TFC.

[QUOTE=SlickBlade;20153786]From the last thread. IT MUST BE DONE.[/QUOTE] I suppose i could give it a shot to rig it up in game but don't expect it to quick I'm still getting used to qc files and all

[QUOTE=Zukriuchen;20145860]The helmet gives the idea he's at war, but the belt thingie gives the idea he returned from it, and was successful. The 2 things kinda.. don't fit well.[/QUOTE] He just returned, go the medals and the belt, then he got kidnapped and found himself in the Soldier/Demoman War?!

[QUOTE=BadAssFreakinOverlord;20146324]Oh yah? Look what i'm making... No its not TF2... but l4d 1/2 doesn't have any good emporium like threads. Its still got a ways to go before its done. I will probably wind up making a version with standard witch wear. (torn top & thick panties) All textures are pretty much placeholders, and still working on the hair... ... and don't ask about the polycount, its not optimized yet. I used the original witch model straight on and side shots as referance for it, so the hitboxes should line up without a hitch. I also will probably need someone to help me rig it or rig it for me.[/QUOTE] Going for a Japanese school girl look or something? I'd be afraid if I saw that running at me.

[QUOTE=onahall;20144018]Like this? [IMG]http://filebox.me/files/ymg6kztyz_misc.jpg[/IMG] It may reduce the possibility that Nintendo sue me for a copy of design.[/QUOTE] Make the hat and the belt one choice, the hat the belt and the medals another, just the medals one choice, and hat, belt, medals and mustache the fourth.

I made a new medigun, Do you guys think it is good enough for valve?

Takes too much of the screen.

Just want to ask, what are the best weapons/hats/classes to practise skinning or modeling with? I'm new to the whole thing, I need something that's good for beginners.

[QUOTE=GrimBloodyFable;20156889]Appreciate the help, but is there anything other than 3ds Max? It's just... I'm poor. You know what? I'll stick to skinning for a while first.[/QUOTE] You have free alternatives like Blender.

[QUOTE=GrimBloodyFable;20156889]Appreciate the help, but is there anything other than 3ds Max? It's just... I'm poor.[/QUOTE] There are XSI Mod Tool and Blender. These are completely free. And you can read some tutorials about SOURCE modeling in [url=http://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Category:Modeling]this site[/url]. Valve Developer Community is a bit technical but very useful. NOTE:XSI Mod Tool 7.5 can't export .obj so you should use 6.0.

Ingame shots of my Sentry Gib Sandman [IMG]http://filebeam.com/da993d6bdbd1f2367dd368f3e513c354.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://filebeam.com/b10bd54432ad199d3cd792f8cb43032f.jpg[/IMG] What else can I do to it, apart from adding a normal map?

Wow,nice!

I've made it smaller, and I've fixed the lighting problem.

Fix the lightening. Play with the vmt file. In the first picture it kinda looks like it's been drawn in Powerpoint. :/ You should try adding an alpha map to the .vtf file. When $basemapalphaphongmask is set to 1, the alpha map serves as a light map. Black areas are matte, white/gray reflect light.

I'm probably going to hell for this request, but... [IMG]http://msp155.photobucket.com/albums/s318/kryzpop/Pickle.jpg[/IMG] Pickle Surprise skin and Gibus hat replacement for the Engineer.

is the texture as low res as it seems to be?

Well, it uses the standard textures, so you look at those and see what you think of them. [editline]08:26PM[/editline] Right, I've fixed my sentry gib bat, and 1 of my hats.

God I wish I had more tolerance for modeling. I make the item, then suddenly I hit a point where I want to throw my computer. Stupid exporting crap. :argh:

Exporting it always the fun part. I tend to find I keep getting overlapping faces when I export, even if I check to see if the model is clean.

Exporting was a horrible experience for me, especially with XSI. Okay, time to export. "Crash" Okay...try again. "These can't be exported" WHY NOT?! Try again..."Exported" Piece of shit...now to do shit with the QC file. "Some dumb error shit" Oh I give up. Yeah, fun stuff.

6 pages and no front page content? :smithicide:

[QUOTE=Street_Wolf;20161872]6 pages and no front page content? :smithicide:[/QUOTE] :effort:

[QUOTE=Street_Wolf;20161872]6 pages and no front page content? :smithicide:[/QUOTE] I think the excitement is over and most people either gave up trying, or they're working on bigger, more serious projects.

I just began the unwrapping of the elephant gun so I don't have much to show at the moment. It's not as bad as I first thought, so tonight I'll have the UVW map complete and I'll begin working on the texture and the particle effects. In that regard, does anyone know anything about creating custom particles? Also, I think it should have a better name than Elephant Gun, but I suck naming things. Ideas? [editline]12:05AM[/editline] Speaking of particles, Robin just answered my mail and custom particles are allowed, we just have to send them in any of the two zip files of the submission.

[QUOTE=Street_Wolf;20161872]6 pages and no front page content? :smithicide:[/QUOTE] That's not true, it's just not released yet. There's plenty of screenshots of good stuff!
