[QUOTE=Psychopath12;27342320]Psh, this is Valve we're talkin' bout :v:[/QUOTE] Yeah, we don't get animations. Only killicons that aren't even made by Neo.

[QUOTE=TheGrayFox;27342238]Check the OP, for starters. I'm too lazy to see myself.[/QUOTE] Wasn't there. Then again, a few images don't render on my comp for some reason. :l Thanks for your help anyways, lol.

I'll need to get custom sounds for this. Just to make it more complete.

get pie tony on it, he'll slow down the ak47 sounds from css

thanks for that shot cake, I hope it's not too late to give you some crits... not the best pic, I know, [url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Rifle_AK-47.jpg[/url], but the wood part in the front would look much better curved if you're intending to keep it wood (even if not - metal - I'd still soften the holes in the side a little just to match with your really smooth joint thing in the front on the barrel) What's that box on the end for? I know it's good to add some visual interest, but it doesn't really match with the simplicity of the AK and I think there are better ways to do it (dents from the ref for example) - I think this applies a lot to the other pieces of your model... if you want to get that AK feel down solid, I'd go through and generally simplify it a bit, add a few large switches, etc and remove the boxiness ultimately that's a design choice and I guess TBH what bothers me is that I can't identify which direction you're headed in - it's trying to be both simple (front) and complex (back) at the same time and with a universally recognized shape, not seeing what I'd expect to doesn't work... either get rid of the simple or get rid of the complex I can't seem to shake the feeling that the heavy is 3 times smaller now... I guess that's not really a crit but it bothers me D: and definetly don't take this the wrong way - I love the model but overall it just seems a tad off and contradictory to me (that's enough edits for now :) )

As for the box on the end is a battery pack of sorts. It just have it there as filler. I want something popping out of it to make it look less plain.

[QUOTE=Communist Cake;27342540]No UV map yet. [img_thumb]http://img191.imageshack.us/img191/205/iamicarusiamdaedulous.png[/img_thumb][/QUOTE] When i first saw the model i thought it was pretty cool, but there's some scale issues in my opinion. The barrel is too huge and the magazine almost touches the ground when you aren't even crouching. The handle and metal part on the back is decent enough.

It's supposed to be exaggerated.

I edited my last post but it's become really convoluted... what I feel about the gun is that it's trying to be two guns at once, simplistic in the front and complex in the back - that'd work for a lot of different designs, but since the AK is such a ubiquitous shape, I don't feel that it works here. So what I'd recommend is chose a style you would like to stick with, either simple (curvy, more natural flow) or complex (boxy, visual noise) and apply that to the entire model. My personal preference is a simpler model heavily based off that ref I posted, because it's an AK, but it's your call. I hope that's clearer. yet another edit - ill probably do a paintover to show you what I mean if it's not clear enough, but not tonight as its getting late

That did help, thank you. I'll consider it and do what needs to be done.

So, has a final theme (or collection of themes) for the emporium event been settled on yet? I'd like to know that way I can start drawing concepts for it while I'm bored in class.

[QUOTE=dire_luck;27344188]I think the lighting is just making it look funny, but I could be wrong.[/QUOTE] No, those are solid colors. And then the lighting is also fooling with it.

exclusive interview with the icon maker 06:32 - [BRO] Psyke: sorry yeah i made a bunch of the new ones 06:33 - .cCc. NeoDement: Whyyyy is the crossbow firing a sentry bullet? 06:35 - [BRO] Psyke: the cross bow had alot of detail in the original version but it seems it was scaled down, and apparently reworked. similar to how the sleeper was re-scaled making it blurry as shit 06:35 - .cCc. NeoDement: So Valve put the wrong bullet there? 06:37 - [BRO] Psyke: they scaled it down a little bit but to be fair in the original it looked alot better in full size. the icon was also created before the actual intention of the crossbow was shown or throwing that to the side i'm just a lazy fuck 06:37 - [BRO] Psyke: several factors really. 06:37 - .cCc. NeoDement: So yes or no, you put the sentry bullet there 06:39 - [BRO] Psyke: well yeah but i'm not sure what your getting at haha 06:39 - .cCc. NeoDement: ok that concludes part 1 06:39 - .cCc. NeoDement: part 2 06:39 - .cCc. NeoDement: why does the Black Box have cracks on it? 06:41 - [BRO] Psyke: fastenin' bands without it looking too cluttered i geuss 06:41 - .cCc. NeoDement: Did you do the holy hand grenade icon? 06:42 - [BRO] Psyke: yep.

:doh: they was actually creating and submitting them bigger than actual size of killicons. i told you, bro. i warned you about lazy idiots [sp]and "special" Valve resizing[/sp]

WHY WOULD YOU INVERT THE MESH BLENDER How does that even happen and can I fix it? [media]http://img27.imageshack.us/img27/3950/fuckyoushovel.png[/media] NVM fixed it :v: (Also yeah it's just a test unwrap and shit) [img]http://img208.imageshack.us/img208/4387/yesshovelgoodboy.png[/img]

Hand guard is far too thin, as well as the blade itself, which almost looks like a flat plane.

[QUOTE=SweetSwifter;27345598]Hand guard is far too thin, as well as the blade itself, which almost looks like a flat plane.[/QUOTE] It's a shovel.

I had a thought about that katana, the current Soldier melee animations won't allow for a full sized sword. So I considered this, and how about it being a novelty cheese knife! :buddy: Also, considering stats is completely pointless.
