TF2 Mod Emporium 45 - Games

I´m finishig the UV for my tank-minigun. Does this look good? [IMG]http://img23.imageshack.us/img23/4655/tankuv.png[/IMG] The real UV image is huge as hell, cause if not it is really low res. I have to put in the ammo belt UV, and I have almost run out of space!

[IMG]http://i.imgur.com/nmVaR.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/HtKZ4.png[/IMG] So, first scraps for a sapper replacement ideas. This would be a device that went holding it, enemy sentries wouldn't attack you. Well, it's just a sapper you only have to hold, so it wouldn't be hard to put into the game, really. EDIT: It would be a fun mechanic to have something that makes the sentries malfunction while holding it, disguised or not. Replacing a thing like the sapper is so much fun, I get thousands of ideas.

[QUOTE=boomsta_;35255505]Scatterguns, Scatterguns everywhere! Yet to apply a phong mask but here is the texture so far. Is this good? :O Crits? [IMG]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/35490615/Scattergun/hergascreen.png[/IMG] [IMG]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/35490615/Scattergun/hergascreen2.png[/IMG][/QUOTE] looks very very good. I'm liking the contrast though i prefer a more subtler contrast at that. (darker woods and greys) nice unique model.

[editline]23rd March 2012[/editline] Nice to finally see you on facepunch!

[QUOTE=Gabriel_Gore;35253952]Maybe they need to keep the ratio of good and bad items more or less even? Like we get two great items, then two shitty items. Then more good items, then more shitty items.[/QUOTE] Good or bad all depends on the tastes of each and everyone. I find that the candle is a well made item despite its silliness. I'm also seeing a pattern from valve that they are trying different stats and effects on the items now. Sounds when walking, taunting. Lights up dark areas. Particle effects on top of other particle effects. We should all be happy for his first item in the game, right? Congrats to him.

That's why i'll just do a clean version thinking about all that. It's like that pistol we did together, I should have redone it and put more effort on the cartoony look but since it was no big deal I kind of passed (sorry about that D:).

sorry for bad art but have a couple of concepts [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/AUvXI.png[/IMG]

[QUOTE=Gabriel_Gore;35255913]If y'ah ask me the barrel looks a little to new compared to the rest of the metal on the gun.[/QUOTE] I agree with this. Although the holes on barrel cover would exist in the time period, this design element is more associated with modern weapon designs. [editline]23rd March 2012[/editline] So during my break from making tf2 items, i decided to dive deeper into 3d modelling and studied blender a bit more, a sort of first step out of the hlmv realm and more on modelling in general. This is what i came up with... [img]http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7138/6861521604_222d694e40_b.jpg[/img]

So your dive into 3d modeling in general was posing engi?

-snip, i'm in the bottom of the page :V-

[QUOTE=Sparkwire;35256097]So your dive into 3d modeling in general was posing engi?[/QUOTE] yes. [img]http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7207/6861541066_541edb37fa_b.jpg[/img]

shit, now i have more of a reason to upload this ol' thing now that there's a destruction tool slot [img]http://i.imgur.com/3CxPq.jpg[/img] edit: fuck, i lost the .qc and all that jazz; looks like I'm starting from scratch! XDD

[QUOTE=Jalcober;35256131]excuse sparkie he [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/0dIJN.png[/IMG][/QUOTE] Well i didnt make myself clear. I wanted to step out of the usual model in blender>texture in photoshop>export to source sdk routine. Trying to actually learn how shaders work and how rendering can be achieved without source engine which is all i have done before this point. At least i'm trying to see if can make something outside of valve games. Yeah start with something i have now like the engie. I'll try to make something from scratch when i feel i can step on to the next stage.

That PDA slot gave me some ideas for a new sapper. After lookin at some 60's computers pics, i get somes tests. [IMG]http://img11.hostingpics.net/pics/408007sapper.png[/IMG]

YEEHAW, a full day of UV mapping here is what i have to show for it [IMG]http://i988.photobucket.com/albums/af3/Insaneicide/NEW_rendah.jpg[/IMG] they have been sent off to Hecates Gaspar for Base Color EXPERIMINTATION

[QUOTE=Jalcober;35256131]excuse sparkie he [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/0dIJN.png[/IMG][/QUOTE] You know, I'm gonna stand up for sparky and say that he's honestly a really good guy, opinionated as fuck sure; but Holy Jesus does he get a fuck ton of un-needed hate around here often. Sure he's brash and bold, but it's because he get's the point across and doesn't sugar coat it. Don't act like others around here aren't like that. I'm sick and tired of people bashing and hating on him for certain comments and posts he makes, he get's a sickening amount of un-deserved hate, and it just seems a little to much at some points. Like his title, Ern made that without even having talked to the guy, and assume that he hates him. When Sparkwire holds no grudge over anyone for any reason. His ego isn't through the roof, he's incredibly modest when it comes to his work, and is by far the nicest modder I've had the pleasure of knowing unlike so many un-friendly faces out there.

Try to make 'em smaller and not along the whole barrel. Like, 3 / 4ths of the holes would look good imo. Here, use my scatter retexture if y'ah want a example of what i mean. [t]http://i74.photobucket.com/albums/i255/L1LC/Scatterholes.jpg[/t] Then again, it's just a suggestion.

[QUOTE=NeoDement;35243374]Yeah, this is ace. However, I think you should lose the transparency on the goggles. It makes it really obvious he goggles under his goggles, whereas he could concievably not do if you couldn't see them.[/QUOTE] Thanks Neo! I do see your point but I just greatly prefer seeing his welding goggles since I believe it's a distinctive aspect of the engineer. But heck, perhaps I'm just blind. Maybe I can fashion it as a style, hmm. [QUOTE=Roninsmastermix;35243908]Lovely lovely work. Despite a few nitpicks that i have this is just well executed. Also. makefacepunchyourblogpost of the day. you can never be too prepared to jump in the pool.[/QUOTE] Thanks Ronin! I'll try to check in more frequently. I'd like to hear about your nitpicks though ;-) Thanks to everyone in the Facepunch modelling community, your guys contribution continues to fuel/inspire the creative efforts for your fellow contributors and newcomers alike; thank you, you guys rock!
