I think the Electric stuff fits Medic pretty well, at least from a lot of the things I've seen so far. It goes well with the "retro futuristic technology that the Bond Villain's scientist henchmen use" theme that I personally imagine a large part of Medic's stereotype to be based on. The main thing I would recommend for these items is to not make them too gray or too plastic. When you texture it, make sure it still looks a lot like Medic's default medigun. I don't like the theme much on any other classes so far though. (Sorry, nothing personal) The theme could plausibly fit Engineer, however I don't think the things I've seen so far resembles his style of buildings items yet. Electrical weapons for Engineer should in my opinion resemble the way his buildings look, or his Gunslinger.

[QUOTE=EDDY TT;26666324]Spy disguise.[/QUOTE] Isn't also for when you cloak and it shows it on your HUD? I've never really paid any attention.

I figured out that it's what shows when you're simultaneously cloaked and disguised.

[QUOTE=Communist Cake;26661777]Doesn't the original wrench clip a little too?[/QUOTE] I know the Gunslinger has some terrible clipping issues. [i]it clips his whole right hand off.[/i]

[img]http://i53.tinypic.com/16m6jxe.png[/img] does this look like something that would even work in TF2 contemplating modeling it.

[QUOTE=Pockets;26666975][img_thumb]http://i53.tinypic.com/16m6jxe.png[/img_thumb] does this look like something that would even work in TF2 contemplating modeling it.[/QUOTE] Sure. Replace revolver.

[QUOTE=EDDY TT;26661795]Original uses W_ and V_ still so no[/QUOTE] Actually it treats the w_model like a c_model So yes.

[QUOTE=Detroit Matt;26666296]So, did we ever get a working beta muzzleflash for the miniguns/sentry?[/QUOTE] There was one on FPSBanana that got trashed.

[quote=aerkhan;26653619]guiz i want to learn how to model stuff, not complicated models n stuff but more like props (modders resource) or things like that. Should i start with blender or 3ds max, as blender requires alot of shit to be installed and 3ds max takes alot of space (or do i just think that :v: ?), and what are some good tutorials?[/quote] i repeat [editline]13th December 2010[/editline] [QUOTE=Allstone;26666196]Proper promo time: [url=http://dl.dropbox.com/u/14502419/Bleh/Eyelander%20Demo%20HUD.rar][img_thumb]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/14502419/Bleh/promo%20%28Demo%29.png[/img_thumb][/url] [url=http://dl.dropbox.com/u/14502419/Bleh/Professional%20Pyro%20HUD.rar][img_thumb]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/14502419/Bleh/promo%20%28Pyro%29.png[/img_thumb][/url] Another question to KAZ32: what is the _cloak.vtf for?[/QUOTE] Are there more?

[QUOTE=<data_panel>;26667501]There was one on FPSBanana that got trashed.[/QUOTE] you mean [url=http://www.fpsbanana.com/skins/99854]this one[/url]? 1. it wasn't working with minigun and sentry 2. [url=http://www.fpsbanana.com/skins/download/99854]lol trashed[/url]

[QUOTE=Aerkhan;26667514]Are there more?[/QUOTE] PixelHUD v2; in the OP; 11th promo down at time of writing. Should you wish for more, I could make it for you.

So I decided to download the trial of Maya to see if it was different from Blender. It was. By a lot. I mean, shit, I couldn't figure out how to create a shape in the damn thing, but in Maya everything is there, simple controls. Easy to start sculpting. All I need now is a good idea so I can get to it :buddy: [editline]13th December 2010[/editline] Also, how are you guys getting at so you get the right size of the weapon? Do you like import models to compare with or something?

what a productive week in the emporium, im surprised we didnt have to fix anything valve updated

[QUOTE=The Ultimate;26667843]what a productive week in the emporium, im surprised we didnt have to fix anything valve updated[/QUOTE] Don't worry we'll fix something later.

Yay! My mod at the main page!

[QUOTE=Allstone;26666196]Proper promo time:[U] [[HUD images here which I won't replicate because I'm thinking of the children!!]] [/U] Another question to KAZ32: what is the _cloak.vtf for?[/QUOTE] Just saw the PM asking that, already got answered in the thread so it's cool. One thing though, give some credit to Corndog Ninja too. Without him figuring out how to make those sprites look decent as a HUD we wouldn't have been able to make any of this. ... Oh and, can [B]everyone[/B] just call me Kaz? Screw the number, it's just there because it was already taken. Thanks!

So yet I ask again. In what should I start to learn modelling?

[QUOTE=Aerkhan;26668129]So yet I ask again. In what should I start to learn modelling?[/QUOTE] Blender, naow.

[QUOTE=Sexy Robot;26668161]Blender, naow.[/QUOTE] I have a friend that is really good at using Blender, but he wants to model professionally for a game studio and doesn't think they'll hire him. He's convinced since "you can only get degrees with 3DS Max and Maya" he won't get a job. I told him once he figured out how to compile the models in to source (he kind of derped), to submit the following as a spy misc slot.

I've only been using it for two weeks and i made my first *usable* model in it... but i continue to use XSI mod tool and 3ds max at the same time... automerge ouch.

He said he hates the layout of 3ds because it's not as customizable as blender, and so he refuses to use it. Any advice for convincing him to try out Maya, or get a free copy of it somehow? He is very anti-warez, not that I would suggest it to him, but he does not have the money to buy it either.

And from that day forward any time a bunch of polygons are together in my PC it's called CRAP. [img]http://img413.imageshack.us/img413/7445/andso.png[/img] Unless I get better!
