TF2 Emporium XXVIII - Games

[QUOTE=EDDY TT;27392903][img_thumb]http://horobox.reager.org/u/Reag_1295007468.jpg[/img_thumb] Blah concept. Guess what gun I used as inspiration base.[/QUOTE] The Spectre M4? And some Glock, and OTs-02 etc. etc. Oh well, just from being a general weaponfag I can see where a lot of parts should fit, plus the overall layout of the construction.. [QUOTE=Sparkwire;27392936][img_thumb]http://gyazo.com/fec935084129ad1c1428b0a138438690.png[/img_thumb] this turned out horribly[/QUOTE] Holy shit this reminds me of the Bioshock artbook, I want this.

[QUOTE=Eeshton;27393076]Are you giving the concept away or are you doing it, I'll do it if you are giving it away :downs:[/QUOTE] I'm actually modelling it right now, just kinda wanted some views on it. :v: [QUOTE=Ikare;27393122]The Spectre M4? And some Glock, and OTs-02 etc. etc.[/QUOTE] Inspired by one gun, suddenly there is 20. What have I done.

All i need to do now is resize the top part of the torch and it'll b-OH GOD I'VE RUPTURED THE SPACE-TIME CONTINUUM[IMG]http://i1026.photobucket.com/albums/y322/CptNuke/Untitled-30.png[/IMG]

I started working on a lance last night and I wake up to find a bunch of people making their own. I didn't think it would be such a popular idea. I guess we can do multiple lances..

Okay so the model is fine now. How do i make parts of it less shiny? The wood is way too glossy. [IMG]http://i1026.photobucket.com/albums/y322/CptNuke/item_test0009.jpg[/IMG]

[QUOTE=Sparkwire;27393415]thats what im using[/QUOTE] I've not had much trouble with it despite my now aging computer, does 3D Studio Max really eat up that much memory?

[QUOTE=NeoDement;27393299]Dude why don't you wait till they've released the models and you can get actually get a decent angle?[/QUOTE] Do you guys trace the the actual models to make the kill icons, I just kinda assumed you guys we're making them from scratch :V Never thought of doing that

[media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cB4qNfmwyvQp[/media] that's how I did it (bit outdated)

There's an option on the first tab. [QUOTE=azuiswhore;27393481]Okay so the model is fine now. How do i make parts of it less shiny? The wood is way too glossy.[/QUOTE] You need to improve the alpha for your texture and make sure "$basemapalphaphongmask" "1" is in your vmt. In the image below, the white areas are really shiny and the dark areas are less shiny. You basically need to just copy your texture, convert to grayscale and paste it over your alpha channel. You could also tone down the phong a bit. [img]http://img502.imageshack.us/img502/2948/alphaf.jpg[/img]

[QUOTE=FatalTomato;27393698]The metal needs to be a bit less shiny too. It looks like a plunger.[/QUOTE] Wait, it isn't a plunger?

[QUOTE=Simski;27393777]Wait, it isn't a plunger?[/QUOTE] It's an Olympic Torch.

[QUOTE=Smashman;27393931]It's an Olympic Torch.[/QUOTE] For the longest I thought it was a black plunger. Cause people like to make weird things for the pyro. But I looked at it for a second and thought, is that a caber for the pyro?

I want to engrave a little flame on the side of it, like how the spy has scout's mom engraved on his revolver.

[QUOTE=azuiswhore;27394259]I want to engrave a little flame on the side of it, like how the spy has scout's mom engraved on his revolver.[/QUOTE] Or even better, the SPY'S MOTHER! Ho ho ho~

[img_thumb]http://img502.imageshack.us/img502/2948/alphaf.jpg[/img_thumb][/QUOTE] This is not a good idea. It's better to just manually make an alpha. Just because something is brightly colored that doesn't mean it's shiny.

[QUOTE=FROmatoe;27394020]For the longest I thought it was a black plunger. Cause people like to make weird things for the pyro. But I looked at it for a second and thought, is that a caber for the pyro?[/QUOTE] Well, come to think of it a plunger actually kind of makes sense with the pyro. After all it does match the gas attendant theme pretty well.

"Sir, let me change your oil with this plunger." [img_thumb]http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/1/17/Li_Ling_during_2008_Summer_Olympics_opening_ceremony.jpg[/img_thumb] I might rethink altogether the wood on the torch and make it more brightly colored... it seems that they are mostly made out of metal/plastic

[QUOTE=FatalTomato;27394590]Well, come to think of it a plunger actually kind of makes sense with the pyro. After all it does match the gas attendant theme pretty well.[/QUOTE] I'd like to see some exterminator/hazmat/cleaner themed items for pyro.

[IMG]http://i1026.photobucket.com/albums/y322/CptNuke/item_test0011.jpg[/IMG] Reduced phong, made wood not as shiny. Still needs something visually interesting for the Torch. Gonna use something like: [img]http://www.reloadedpc.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/ci_logo_flame.jpg[/img]
