Amazing. Love the fourth style.
[QUOTE=psyke;37062752]Also going to be fixing the defunct specular + sign flicker.
As valve chose to dick it up to infinity[/QUOTE]
Mind sending it my way when you're done? (For the shugo icons)
To everyone involved in the promo: If you guys are allowed to, do you have anything interesting to share regarding the creation of the models for the Sleeping Dogs promo? (Not asking about working with the creators/Valve, just showing the models as work in progress, explaining design choices, easter eggs like the Neon Light battery, etc?)
[QUOTE=NeoDement;37062719]Looks great, but:
Why aren't the white ones sampled from medics labcoat? The bottom of the blue one seems to be but that's not obvious enough imo
Especially with all the extra red on the bloody style, I don't think that one will get in for that reason.
Also the clipping at the top[/QUOTE]
better? still have to add the strap n such

Feel like sharing some fancy did-you-know-tips behind the Huo Long Heatmaker and the Human Cannonball.
Heatmaker used to look like this:

However Valve criticized that it looked too whimsical and not serious enough for a human-killing machine. So we scrapped that version and after some more concepts we finally got around to the gun you see today.
As for the Human Cannonball, there are 3 available styles for it:

For the stickers style, you'll notice that the skull sticker is actually the original TF [i]RED team[/i] logo:

(Thanks to Blaholtzen for correcting me on that.)
The black dragon sticker is my personal logo that I use as a watermark sometimes. :v:

ah gotcha, thought you meant combine it with the hat. ill start work on the separate goggles tomorrow
[QUOTE=NeoDement;37063119]looked better over the eyes[/QUOTE]
But what about eye misc?
(The pyrovision goggles might look with that though.)

Never played the original TF, so I wouldn't know the exact details. But I at least knew it came from the original TF.
[QUOTE=blaholtzen;37063215][url]http://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/Teams_(Classic)#Gallery[/url][/QUOTE]
Yeah, I think it even appeared in the first TF2 trailer, too.

Yup.

Gamemaster is working on the particle.
After that I will need someone to texture all these.

This is the concept that sexy designed for the sapper at first, during the early stages it didnt have the side strap thingy, and instead had one of those dragging thingos on the right side(like in the concept). It also had that VU meter which I later got rid of because it was clogging up the space of the tape.
the glasses had another type of hair at first, I can't find the picture but it was spiky and constant, and was then later remade to cardboard hair
Robot Joe did the original concepts of the Huo Long Heatmaker and the Human Cannonball.

I helped in creating the textures while Ragnar (Opethrockr) did the models.

No textures because lazy. Particle system works like a charm.

Some form of Flaregun, it probably would have some clipping, but maybe with enough tinkering it could work.[/QUOTE]
Put the tank on the top, have it shoot bees.
[editline]3rd August 2012[/editline]
second suggestion isn't completely serious
The metal parts are still base color. Is anybody willing to help me learn how to properly do metal textures so I can finish this?

Congrats to the guys who made the promos. I must say, that I respect square enix for letting the community create the promo items. They are the only ones who did that. And lets be honest the deus ex and sleeping dogs promos are the best.

I made a post here about how the tattoos + Sign came to be!
Some more tidbits on the Heatmaker:
The initial pitch for the gun was that it would shoot fireworks in kind of a slow, AOE type weapon, as the final product and even some of the concepts above reflected that design with the large, single barrel. Only after it was done and submitted that it was kind of dropped on it's head. They wanted a gun, not a cannon, so we turned that initial, whimsical model into what you have now in a little more than a week, with a great reference pic by Valve of what they wanted, of course.
Valve also stated that they wanted the dragon's mouth to have a way to open and close on wind up/wind down and firing. I cut the head and made the requisite bones and animations; got set up and ready to go, but I guess they changed their mind towards the end and left it open. (Note, I can't make a release as those animations use were removed a while ago in favor of the procedural, hard-coded barrel spin all miniguns now use.)
I have to say, i don't really like the items the most, but i really like this update.
And all the little tidbits you guys are sharing.
To everyone posting concept art and the development behind the recent items, I just want to share my appreciation towards you all. It's always a treat to see the history behind an item that gets added into TF2, especially for something like promos. Keep up the great work!

I love both parts!
How does one become part of a promo? Just wondering.
Personally I like the old minigun more. releasepls
This concept was discarded D: I guess it looks too japanese anyway, but I'll make it for my own spy pack eventually.
