TF2 Emporium 49 - Games - Facepunch Forum

Well i am pretty new to this stuff, so if you'd be as kind as to tell me what i did wrong and why it's wrong, i'll go mend it

There's probably something fucked up in this since I didn't test them in-game yet so just let me know if you find something.

You can reduce a ton of those faces.

Ah, well fair enough. I suppose i'm just used to modelling for a really crap engine with the graphical capabilities of a horse. You have to get all the detail in with models alone. Old habits die hard i guess

It's a good habit to optimize your model regardless of which engine you're working on.

much too late and not too great what a great motto on life

Harakiri....y u make multiple items for a single loadout spot T.T

[QUOTE=Venezuelan;38025377]no one's saying delete it those who think the idea is bad are saying be less silly in the future those who say the quality is lacking are saying to improve it, which it is never too late for no one here is your "superior", no one can tell you what to do, but they will tell you what they think, and it's up to your judgment how much you value their thoughts[/QUOTE] I realise there is no specific superior in this scenario but though people can't technically tell you what to do, they will still give it their best shot. To those critiquing the quality; fair enough, but critiques made towards the concept should be made at the concept phase or at least a point in which any loss in resources resulting from starting over is negligible. Even then the complaints were pretty vague and unhelpful. It doesn't fit the TF2 art style? It's 'silly'? Well forgive me for being naive but what exactly is the TF2 art style when that encompasses the Ornament Armament, the Lollichop and the Apparition's Aspect? And before anybody so eagerly informs me that "You shouldn't use the mistakes of others to justify your own" would you mind explaining exactly what that mistake is in the first place because that would be something genuinely useful as opposed to writing off individual items as mistakes when they don't conform to what you think TF2 should look like as a whole - because, like it or not, Valve seems more than happy to take these sort of items onboard. And when you say the concept of a model, game or pretty much anything else for which you might make concepts is unfit for it's purpose when said model has reached completion or at least entered it's final stages then you might as well delete the file. It's not like there is anything salvageable from it if it's core structure is deemed ill-suited.

First model I've made in months. :P I'm just going to scrap and restart the hand-guard. [img]https://dl.dropbox.com/u/48795891/sword_render1.png[/img] Cookie to whoever knows what it's from.

That's nice Jacen! Yeah, the handguard could use some serious reworking but besides that, it looks real nice.

Can someone make a kirby pyro head repalcement?

Is there a mod somewhere that replaces the Original's viewmodel with a normal viewmodel, like the other rocket launchers? I like the reference behind it, but it's been getting on my nerves lately.

[QUOTE=Dudeface;38027066]Is there a mod somewhere that replaces the Original's viewmodel with a normal viewmodel, like the other rocket launchers? I like the reference behind it, but it's been getting on my nerves lately.[/QUOTE] just use the stock launcher then.

[QUOTE=Dr_Aquaphre5h;38027381]just use the stock launcher then.[/QUOTE] That's not what he's asking

There have been many cases that the concept looks pretty far from the item it turned out to be. Regardless, i was pointing out the great points of the item, which is being clever. I was saying that without seeing the aforementioned concepts. I also mentioned before that it "kinda" didn't fit in light that its my "gut feeling". If i must elaborate, there are some sharp bevels that you dont normally see in the game. The hands of the alien could stand to be a just a 3 fingers or a bit heftier. The details on that part is too small for my taste. I chose not to mention it earlier as i feel that im just being nitpicky at it. I think that not everything needs criticizing, not all criticism helps anyway.

Started work today on something. Would you honestly wear this? Like, on your character's shoulder or head? [img]http://fc04.deviantart.net/fs70/i/2012/287/b/c/spy_crab_by_ryu_gi-d5hu4uj.jpg[/img]

[QUOTE=Dr_Aquaphre5h;38027381]just use the stock launcher then.[/QUOTE] It's more for when I'm using mods for the Original.

Do you guys think my spycrab would work better as a hat or a cosmetic item?

[QUOTE=Ryu-Gi;38027766]Do you guys think my spycrab would work better as a hat or a cosmetic item?[/QUOTE] I think using it as a hat is the better and easy option, unless you want to put it on the shoulder.

[QUOTE=The Lone Spy;38027802]I think using it as a hat is the better and easy option, unless you want to put it on the shoulder.[/QUOTE] Yeah I thought putting it on the shoulder would be a good idea. Then again, I can see why it'd do better as a hat.

[QUOTE=Ryu-Gi;38027810]Yeah I thought putting it on the shoulder would be a good idea. Then again, I can see why it'd do better as a hat.[/QUOTE] I would go with a shoulder misc rather then a hat. I have a idea for a pyro misc. 4 to 5 tendrils on pyros back. This essentially.

[QUOTE=Ian;38027889]Everyone would make it slenderman related.[/QUOTE] It actually disgusts me how true that is.
