NassimO & Blaholtzen's Team Fortress 2 Texture Improvement Project - Games

what happend to this? are you guys busy with other skin projects?

Nassimo is still working on the HUD, but I dunno about blaholtzen.

Procrastination is something u always have to be prepared to run into. [sp]at least I can say I'm busy with work... ^^[/sp]

I feel like I'm doing a "find the differences" puzzle

FYI the project isn't dead, i'm working with demo right now, and there's also been some progress on sniper and medic, as well as a few touches on soldier. I'll post some screenshots of demo later

I cant see improvements . help!

The correct bomb arm logo! Please don't give up on this project...

Honestly, I have to strain to see a difference.

[QUOTE=Derposaurus;29877443]Honestly, I have to strain to see a difference.[/QUOTE] Then clearly, thou are not a patron of the arts.

[QUOTE=Derposaurus;29877443]Honestly, I have to strain to see a difference.[/QUOTE] Maybe a gif will help. (even though the differences are quite obvious) [img]https://dl-web.dropbox.com/get/what/demomancomparison.gif?w=960241ca[/img] Imageready hates me and messed the colors up. [editline]17th May 2011[/editline] Also, those images are probably outdated.

I remember embarking on this path myself, getting just about complete until I hit the Spy. Getting those suit lines perfect was a pain. But I used simple tools like noise filters and even light fabric/leather texturing to make the overall texture look nicer. Best of luck to you guys.

[QUOTE=blaholtzen;28479418]I must admit, NassimO is quite a genius [img_thumb]http://img4.hostingpics.net/pics/156746dispenserteamyellow.png[/img_thumb] (ignore the texture quality on blu, he had the setting on low) this goes in the "alternate" pile[/QUOTE] Don't put it in the alternate pile, becouse this is fucking brilliant and it should have been done in the first place.

Wasn't there another thread on this but it got raged at for some reason? Or is it just me?

Have noticed this one the other day. U may hate me by showing that... [IMG]http://i1039.photobucket.com/albums/a480/Hecates_Gaspar/anewfix3.jpg[/IMG] If u guys may like, I made a blue pants version for the scout... Also, Blaholtzen. Quick question! Are you thinking on, maybe, after all the players are done, making some improvements on the scenarios' textures too? Some maps have some really bad textures...

Now I have to fix this one too... [IMG]http://i1039.photobucket.com/albums/a480/Hecates_Gaspar/oh-shit.png[/IMG] Why does VALVe do this to me?

I hope if these turn out well, Valve considers rewarding the creators, and possibly accepts their work for a "Mega" high setting (or something). That and Shugo's Ubercharge skins.

[QUOTE=The Baconator;30013561]I hope if these turn out well, Valve considers rewarding the creators, and possibly accepts their work for a "Mega" high setting (or something).[/QUOTE] Reminds me of how I've always wanted a 'Highest' texture setting to reflect the now defunct mat_picmap -10.

I also have re-built the BLU Engineer Skin. Since the original one from VALVe ws too blurred. [img]http://i1039.photobucket.com/albums/a480/Hecates_Gaspar/engiebluv4.jpg?t=1306200861[/img] You can see all the changes I made. Some details I removed since it was from the BETA Engie model. And a couple fixes. it's not ready yet. Have to fix that yellow that is too much dark and a misplaced detail that I have just found on the glove's finger. This is a higher resolution of the picture above. [url=https://dl-web.dropbox.com/get/engiebluv4.bmp?w=47ccb21a]engie[/url]

Could you maybe transparent that eye-rapey background? 2. I like the original yellow a lto better, at least on the hat and the glove.

[QUOTE=Corndog Ninja;30039400]Two things: 1. Could you maybe transparent that eye-rapey background? 2. I like the original yellow a lto better, at least on the hat and the glove.[/QUOTE] 1. Agreed. Had the same thought after posting. 2. Already doing this. [QUOTE=Hecates;30017887] Have to fix that yellow that is too much dark (...).[/QUOTE] See?

uh i guess this is cool but what's the point of the medic changes? all it does is make it harder to distinguish between teams + damages the team palette.

RED and BLUE gloves, pants and backpacks. And the coats are not dirty brown and baby blue. Much more eye suiting now. Course, it's my opinion.

I personally prefer that blue Medic, and I always use the skin.

[QUOTE=Shugo;28455663]This. And I think I prefer the Valve Medic's blue color scheme. The brighter blues make it much more obvious that he's a blue Medic on blue team. He was made with very bright blue elements due to the very light coat color; it's all so that he's easy to identify at first glance. I think your new blue Medic looks too similar to the red one...it may not look like it in still screenshots, but in the heat of the game quick identification is key.[/QUOTE] Believe it or not, the coat actually doesn't need to be bright blue to do this. I know this because I've been playing with those skins for the past month or so. Blaholtzen was kind enough to hand me an advance copy of the Medic coats a while back., and between the gloves and the very visible difference in color temperature of the Medic whites, it's easy to ID a friendly or enemy Medic.

I figure that the Medic colour scheme is a bit brighter because Medics are generally more important to pick out in a crowd than other classes.

BUMP
