TF2 Renders? - Games - Facepunch Forum

I had to register just to ask this question. How do you get such smooth lines on the renders. I use AA in HLMV, but when transfering to Photoshop and removing the background (creating a transparent background) I always get jagged lines whatever the method I use. (Magic Wand, Color select, etc) Tips?

I take two screenshots (one white bg, one black bg), then use the difference between the two layers as a mask. See the first page for the full explanation, but it works very well (still working on removing slight bg colour traces). You can also fiddle with the Magic Wand settings until you get something decent, and/or shrink then blur the resulting mask.

Danke, will try that method

How can you make a model have another models animations?

Oh my god that face. It's like he's going to cut me into little pieces and then rape every single piece.

Here's a basic Heavy pose. Pro tip, for those with widescreen monitors that can pivot and video card drivers that let you do portrait mode, you can get a large full body shot. [img]http://i42.tinypic.com/wgvssz.jpg[/img]

You call that a large full body shot? [img_thumb]http://www.filepak.com/8/6_spylarge.png[/img_thumb] Thanks Biodude

Took a few pictures and shoped them together?

The mask method worked perfectly... I think [img_thumb]http://i39.tinypic.com/mljyi9.png[/img_thumb] EDIT: How do I thumbnail it? The whole render fits nicely on my screen... But might not so to most screens

This will probably get me boxes, but where do I find the models for the unlocks? I know where the hats and normal weapons are.

[QUOTE=Thundermanz;21877734]Yeah,it's good,only hat is badly cut out. Use [ img_thumb] [ /img_thumb][/QUOTE] Thanks. Damn just noticed the hat, you are right Can't unsee now.

Thanks!Didn't try that folder yet.

Well my first try is a one shot deal since zooming in and taking multiple shots mean you are getting chunks of a 3D model taken from a slightly different perspective. That would bug me just a bit much to try and get everything perfectly aligned to be honest.

I got Anti-Aliasing working, just need some help on cutting it out nicer

[QUOTE=Roflman;21887792]I got Anti-Aliasing working, just need some help on cutting it out nicer[/QUOTE] Depends on what image editor you use. I use Paint.NET, and this info would be very useful to me.
