note that they're far from done

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]

Reduced phong, made wood not as shiny. Still needs something visually interesting for the Torch. Gonna use something like:

I'm guessing this was your reference picture?

In any case, I would add a design like the one pictured or add slits along the top, for visual interest of course.

This man can point explosives at his feet and fly into the air without major repercussions, and you think this is going to break his back?
It probably will, to be honest.

Well you could add some detail like so:
[img_thumb]http://img404.imageshack.us/img404/3631/notaplunger.jpg[/img_thumb]
That's supposed to be rubber to prevent finger injuries from the metal, which would probably not join the wood too well. That's my excuse at least.
Gold might work even better.
You're kinda right on the plastic and metal thing. This is what the Mexico 1968 olympic torch looked like, apparently:
[url]http://torchrelay.beijing2008.cn/en/archives/pasttorches/n214037304.shtml[/url]
I still prefer your design, though. It's very recognizable, unlike current torches which have very varying designs and are unrecognizable out of context.
I don't really like the idea of just spraying that flame over the torch, it would look silly. If this were implemented you could probably have other pyros (or yourself, maybe through taunt) light it, which would make it memorable enough. I don't think it needs anything else to make it obvious it's a torch, I just think it needs more detail to make it more interesting to look at. If that makes sense.

Quick update on the lance. Made it much bigger because it looked puny in the HLMV. I also added a poking thing and a flag that will be jiggleboned. My plan is to have it replace the Caber using the Eyelander animations. After the first hit, the lance will break in half.

I know you guys wanted it to have the grenade launcher animations so I'm going to look into that after I'm finished.
I added a flame and even bumpmapped it so it'd look cool, but it ended up on the wrong side of the viewmodel. :gonk:
[IMG]http://i1026.photobucket.com/albums/y322/CptNuke/item_test0012.jpg[/IMG]
Dunno if i like it.
Rate me artistic if you like it, or rate disagree if i should just add simple small designs to the rims.
I'm kind of bad with photoshop but if anyone wants to have a go at texturing it, here's the PSD file, complete with a uv map layer.

Maybe you should do the Pyro's flame icon instead of some other flame.
For consistency's sake.

The idea of it breaking sounds a bit odd, how do you imagine breaking it should change it's usage? (Just a heads up: read this as a question, this is not meant to sound sarcastic)

I personally do still not like the idea of the engraved flame.

[QUOTE=Simski;27395577]

I don't much like it either. I think a simple engraving around the rim at the top would suffice.
Like this sort of:
[IMG]http://i1026.photobucket.com/albums/y322/CptNuke/Untitled-31.png[/IMG]
I'm not much for art though. I'll get around to it later maybe. Here's the PSD if anyone here wants to try: [url]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3310518/modeling/c_mace.psd[/url]
I also have come up with stats for it already, out of boredom:
The Marathoner's Mace
- Deals 25% less damage when not lit
- Hitting burning players ignites it
- Deals 50% more damage when lit
- Ignites enemies when lit
Ilwrath made a torch that had working fire in it I think.

Looks like a series of can openers.

In terms of stats, I could see it as being halfway between the bottle and the Eyelander. For the first hit, it would have the long range of the Eyelander without the health penalty that comes along with it. After that, it would have essentially the same stats as the bottle with the only downside being no random crits. Maybe not useful for a Demoknight, but useful for the Demoman who only brings out his melee as a last resort.
Of course, Valve could probably come up with something more clever. Mostly, I just want it to break because it would be a cool skin for the Caber.
[QUOTE=Detroit Matt;27395806]Looks like a series of can openers.[/QUOTE]
Like i said, i suck at art. Just something flame-y looking would suffice as far as making it look interesting goes. It just needs some engravings on the rims at the top to make it a little nicer looking.

In all honesty, to me that doesn't sound like a very fun melee :S
It would be more fun if it had it's specialty during the charge, which would be the more logical usage of the lance :O
I also don't really understand why it would be a cool skin for the caber, lances don't usually explode.

It's... beautiful. But it would look kind of retarded unless done right. Is it possible to make a minigun with clips? It would be nice to have it fire arrows and have one arrow removed from the model per shot.
