TF2 Mod Emporium 45

[Roninsmastermix]

[QUOTE=Harakiwi;35149386]final verdict here. okay, back to the drawing board with the wrench.

Here are the wrenches I've done so far, 2nd one is terrible.

i like the 2nd one as well. Although it seems to be a bit too detailed for my taste. That's only me though.

[Deodorant]

I like the first one the most, but maybe that's just because I don't recognize what the second one is based on.

[Desuh]

I hope you guys don't kill me for asking this but what is the best way to start creating tf2 items?

Is being able to draw important? I can't draw at all and ask myself how you create the designs if you can't.

I am currently watching 3dsmax tutorials to learn how to use the program and how to model. It is a 12h long collection of tutorials. Would it be more efficicent to watch/read tf2-modeling related tutorials?

[NuggetWarmer]

It helps if you at least have a good imagination and some skill in drawing, though it isn't required (the imagination is though).

[WiltheKid]

I'm making a playermodel pack.
It's minecraft mobs as classes.
Enderman Spy, Villager Medic (librarian), Spider Scout, Iron Golem Heavy, Skeleton Sniper, Blaze(?) Pyro, Zombie Soldier, Steve Engie.
I swear, i'm doing this.
Also, pain sounds and music.

[Harakiwi]

Wow, so many people actually liking the 2nd one? I thought it was too blocky and like Ronin say, much too detailed. Should I revisit it and refine it more? It's actually modeled after a doodle I've made, based on tons of wrench pictures I've collected from the web (you would be surprised of the variation)

I've made another wrench in the meantime (not finished yet as I messed up the mesh to reduce clipping). I was reluctant using this design, because it kinda looks like the jag, and could not be unique enough.

Far too much like the jag. Keep the second one, seriously.

I don't think I can (or: am going to) make a LoD with an efficiency of >95%, so I concluded it's not going to get ingame.[/QUOTE]

You could release it as a mod.

[QUOTE=HelmoChipChop;35150708]Now THAT.... Is a Grordbort weapon.

I hereby request a Phlogistinator/Manmelter/CowMangler/Bison replacement done in this style.

Not really, wait.. Yes really... I'm confused. Anyway, love this.

I was JK about the request due to the obvious time consumption it would take, but this weapon is done very well and it'd be cool to see the other Grordbort weapons, actually look like Grordbort weapons.

Great job on this imo.

Cheers![/QUOTE]
I believe it's a port from CoD Black Ops. I could be wrong though. I love the DG2 in the game, but I wouldn't use it in TF2 unless someone made the textures more TF2-ish.

Or you could outsource the creativity to useless concept people like me.

Speaking of which, I have two new set ideas; A romanticist artist set for the Medic and a hired thug set for the Soldier. Do these sound interesting enough that I should draw them?

That just looks a little bland. seriously, number two all the way. What i like best about it is that i don;t feel like I've seen it before.

[Deodorant]

If youcave in to these philistine demands and finish number 2, would you mind finishing number one too? I've fallen in love with that one by now.

[ned_ballad]

Daimao, what if you build your fix using the LODs Valve made for it?

[WiltheKid]

For the Minecraft Playermodels
Rate agree for no joints, like in actual minecraft.
Rate informative for actual joints to make animations look better.

[QUOTE=Sparkwire;35148147]Woke up one day in july, svdl was yelling at me about some turtleneck that just got ingame. turns out it was the col roule. go figure.[/QUOTE]

I imagined a swarthy, cigar-smoking man with a beard and top hat shouting to a sleeping pony about a turtleneck because of your avatars.

I would draw that but NOPE TOO LAZY

I have a feeling this is also the reason why people prefer my doodles/sketches over the finished works, I tend to conform what is expected from me, or so I think.

Will do, the model is done and checked for clipping, but is not unwrapped/textured yet.

[lilrobot]

think i'll start on the tf2 texture t'day.
can someone link me to some tuts?

[Mr. Sam B]

Is there some sort of porthole where all the concepts you guys have made are located for different contributors to use freely as long as they credit the concept artist?
Other than the numerous concepts scattered around previous emporiums?
