TF2 Emporium 51: Not late this time edition - YOU ALL HAVE A CHAT THREAD FOR CHATTING/OFFTOPIC, USE - Games

Question! Is there a way to have a firing animation added to a mod? Say for the crossbow I am designing, is there anyway I can have the limbs spread out when I fire and retract when I reload?

I'm beginning work on a weapon project that contains some idle animations and possible unique sounds. The whole concept of it being animated beyond having bones is a little frighting to me. Anyone have any advice on how to work with it? I understand the lack of interest Valve tends to have with custom animations, but I'm really excited about this project and looking to do something pretty intense. Animations wouldn't be more than a second or two, a little swaying or movement.

I put most of the drawings from last nights live stream [url=http://www.facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=1245832&p=39514982#post39514982]here[/url] enjoy

Okay, so I've decided to finally release my first big mod! I made a bad promo and everything!

[img]https://dl.dropbox.com/u/586461/Models/intoxication_sketches_001.png[/img] got a little... uh... inebriated last night and drew some shit, 3 of which were concepts for weapons seen in the mid-top section i don't know what they are, or what class, but i drew them they are also uncertainly claimed by an unnamed benefactor until further notice, so stop hitting on me, you silly boys~

I guess I can call this finished can I? I need to make some promos now and in-game shots.

If someone make a megabuster mod for Cow Mangler, i think the helmet could fit

[QUOTE=Cyanlime;39515512]Might be a bit late now, but I think a white beard would be more gnome-y.[/QUOTE] Yes it would, I went for coloured one because the white one looked rather ugly, also might be an excuse but it's a gnomegineer not some garden gnome, so I thought it might also make difference.

[QUOTE=KayoDuck;39515355]That HM draw, also i liked the Megaman helmet. If someone make a megabuster mod for Cow Mangler, i think the helmet could fit[/QUOTE] I actually still have my old Megabuster Scattergun. I really want to change it up over the Cow Mangler, now.

[QUOTE=coverop;39513729]If valve will add this to the game, It will probably have the same stats as Demoman's Grenade.[/QUOTE] you mean like the time we found out during the schema that the pyro was supposed to get a caber like item but the scratched it at the last minute? :suicide:

Since I got the banhammer 3 days ago with no warning (thanks to whoever that was) I lost my question post. Whats the easiest TF2 item to start off practising w/ 3D modeling? Weapon? Hat? Misc? [QUOTE=StormBlink;39514613]Question! Is there a way to have a firing animation added to a mod?

[QUOTE=pogothemunty;39515804]Looking good, did you try to work the stock in?[/QUOTE] spark was considering having it on and folded but since the cleaners carbine already has that we both agreed it was better to just not include it

Fair enough, really - looking forward to seeing it

Sorry guys, I had to. I know it was well made, but I moderate the workshop a bit, and try not to make any exceptions. <3
