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

[QUOTE=IM BATMAN;35153498]If you redid the particles for the TiP that'd be amazing! Especially since Bolty's Particles 1.Crash alot 2.Dont work on alot of servers and 3. Are hosted on megaupload which is taken down.[/QUOTE] I really wanted Bolty's Particles, but only recently discovered them. Kinda sad that they were only uploaded to megaupload though... If anyone still has the original zip or rar or 7z or whatever, mind putting it in a dropbox?

I'm gonna start looking into improving some cosmetic item textures that i think needs work for different reasons. my starter list is: Conquistador Dragonborn Helmet Spine-Chilling Skull 2011 Foster's Facade Gonna do what I can... If you got any requests or suggestions please tell me/us. Could be weapons too.

Although the creator might already have HD textures for it like the Boom Bringer.

ta-da! [img]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/39556064/ImprovedDragonbornHelmet.jpg[/img] a few texture details but most notably the phongmask and phong settings

as i've said to you before I'm requesting you look at some of the newer items .vmts and their fix up phong etc. Also the Rimmed Raincatcher (needs some subtle brush stokes), Hound Dog, Ze_Goggles (higher res?). Not sure to say the Coupe D'isaster as that's kinda meant to look bad on purpose

Already did a hounddog fix way back

[QUOTE=blaholtzen;35167375]Already did a hounddog fix way back[/QUOTE] Mind if I see that? It might be of use to The Shugo Team.

Ok, made an update on the Chargin' Targe. [release][IMG]http://i1039.photobucket.com/albums/a480/Hecates_Gaspar/tc_shields.jpg[/IMG][/release] Wood is dark as on the first team color release, made new phong mask for it and also Cream Spirit painted instead of just orange. also, clean Claidheamh Mòr and proper Cream Spirit like handles. [release][IMG]http://i1039.photobucket.com/albums/a480/Hecates_Gaspar/tc_claymores.jpg[/IMG][/release] And 2 newcommers! [release][IMG]http://i1039.photobucket.com/albums/a480/Hecates_Gaspar/backsyri.jpg[/IMG][/release] The Persian Persuader will be a bitch to just clean, it may need an entire new texture. The Splendid Screen is my new goal. Here's a list of other items I'ma going to de-blooded: [release]Unarmed Combat (making a proper Meet the Team blood style too) Boston Basher (done actually, just need new phong mask) Big Earner Amputator Conscientious Objector Persian Persuader [/release] Axtinguisher and Übersaw already have an official clean version. but I might make a new blood for the Axtinguisher since it has not the MTM style..

Or do you mean the bandages?

[QUOTE=Damian0358;35169810]The Big Earner has blood on it? Or do you mean the bandages?[/QUOTE] yeap! just the dirty bandages.

[QUOTE=Hecates;35169900]yeap! just the dirty bandages.[/QUOTE] It would make it look nicer!

These bloodless weapons are gross D:

[QUOTE=NeoDement;35170010]These bloodless weapons are gross D:[/QUOTE] I just got a idea! Add blood to every wep in the game! *sarcasm*

they look kind of boring without blood, especially the Claymore.

[QUOTE=ned_ballad;35170059]they look kind of boring without blood, especially the Claymore.[/QUOTE] I like the Claymore without the blood, but that's the only wep I like without blood.

And the blade kinda needs some other detail to compensate for the removed blood but edge hihglighting would be hard unless you make the blade generally darker, which i think might even be a good idea with phong there already making it even brighter For the Back Scratcher i'm thinking maybe make the paint chipped off from the tips, showing some metal

[QUOTE=NeoDement;35170010]*These bloodless weapons are gross D:[/QUOTE] *I think

Okay? Everything's an opinion.

They really are.

Is the idea that you're removing the blood from the weapons so that eventually you will re-add a blood splatter on each that is consistent (looking) throughout? Loving the work either way.

[QUOTE=NeoDement;35170952]Okay? Everything's an opinion.[/QUOTE] but that's a fact

[QUOTE=mitcheroo;35171023]Is the idea that you're removing the blood from the weapons so that eventually you will re-add a blood splatter on each that is consistent (looking) throughout? Loving the work either way.[/QUOTE] Yes, the idea is to apply or make a better look of Meet the Team Blood on all of them later. And also to have clean weapons if u wish for bloodless items, since some weapons already have the blood in this style. [QUOTE=theharribokid;35171037]1.

[QUOTE=AlfieGroove;35171258]but that's a fact[/QUOTE] Well, in your opinion it's a fact, anyway.

[QUOTE=NeoDement;35171655]Well, in your opinion it's a fact, anyway.[/QUOTE] Finally good reason for me to rate NeoDement's post zing

Frankly the only reason the blood looks particularly [I]bad[/I] on weapons (in my opinion) is that they're in varying styles, in some cases ugly and almost always lo-res. Not to mention the blood on a fair few weapons (cough persian persuader cough) doesn't fit the art style in the least. Meet the Spy-style blood is the only thing that can save these poor weapons.

[QUOTE=Hecates;35171564][release][img]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/30767612/have_a_clean_basher.bmp[/img][/release][/QUOTE] wow, that sure looks bad without blood
