i think the pipe looks rather.. well.. shit...[/QUOTE]

Make the top of the water drop not such a fine point against the pipe; thicken it up a bit

also you may want to exaggerate the bends in the pipe - what you have looks good, just make them a bit bigger

You are now aware Poopy Joe looks slightly like Gray Mann.

[QUOTE=eddy-tt-;37579439]No you should be exporting the model with the bone, your problem is clearly you haven't weighted/binded it to the bone correctly, also make SURE the bone you are binding to is named right, for example pistols by default binds to weapon_bone and the magazine binds to weapon_bone_2.[/QUOTE]

Not sure why it was freaking out earlier but I solved this. Turns out for some reason the exporter renamed the bones from weapon_bone_1 to weapon.bone_1 which is sorta weird.

[Lexar]

Ok, here are the 2 different pipes

obvious voting is obvious

Edit: It seems obvious my original pipe was better

It will look better once textured I would imagine.

when you said bigger, did you mean fatten the joints? because i made the bends bigger as seen above and they didn't seem to get good feedback. i think fattening the joints may not looks so great, but ill try it.

Pretty sure he meant to make the joints wider. So yeah, fatten them.

Here it is then, before and after

[IMG]http://lex.xsustudios.com/item-concepts/before-after-water.png[/IMG]

i think the before looks better then the after personally

[Pocket Medic]

If I were you I'd rig up the pipe to his backpack instead of having it come out his neck.

It's still red on the blu team. And the nose of the soldier clips horribly with the mask.

Very creative. Good job as always.

Reminds me of Cerebulon from War of the Monsters.

Dangit, now I wish there was a Retro Movie-Monsters from Beyond Space and Time themed emporium...

What number was that emporium? I want to check it out.

[Demon!]

No no, he wishes there was one.

Idk I'm bored. Nighty.

This thing is gonna be a pain in the dick to facial flex.

[Quinnjdq]

Looks too symmetrical.

[A_Guardian]

[QUOTE=Quinnjdq;37586587]Looks too symmetrical.[/QUOTE]

It's symmetrical, but I think it looks best like this.
Might make the points less pointy though.

[QUOTE=Demon!;37586524]No no, he wishes there was one.[/QUOTE]

Oh thx.. Lol my mistake.

[Lexar]

I felt like doing a little bit of vectoring to take a break from modelling the drip

so i made these

[Deodorant]

[QUOTE=unlimi_Ted;37583364]Has anyone shown any interest in making this?

[t]http://img811.imageshack.us/img811/1746/bombsquad.png[/t]

Because I kind of want to. I mean, it'll be a while, because I'm still learning to model, but I'd like to know if anyone else has this set planned so I don't get my hopes up to make it for nothing.[/QUOTE]Totally unclaimed, go wild.

try this :)

[IMG]http://puu.sh/136Iw/d3ad9baeb4743b7cf7d052c8bd055234[/IMG]

make a spline in the shape of a drop and then pop the lathe modifier on it

also make the chamfer hard edged
[IMG]http://puu.sh/136Jl/5235e77e55ce7af99c6d52f1c117e941[/IMG]

see how you can still see the inside of the tap? that will look good when you see it from the bottom

you can change the edgeloop level using the interpolation on the spline panel

Hope this helps!

[Megaguy213]

It looks like a balloon tied around a tap's nozzle.
