Do you use ZBrush for sculpting?

Capping spree gamemode shouldn't be really popular, since it would need comitment from the team, so random people joining servers for fun shouldn't like it very much, leaving afterwards. Thus, the map and mode wouldn't be on many servers, and it would probably not work in the end. I can't say anything in a competitive viewpoint, though.

filler colour to test bakes, a bit of cleaning up to do around the seams but they're damn near perfect everywhere else. It's also too loose around the collar so I'll do some readjusting on the mesh.
In the meantime void better get back to work because I still don't know what we're doing for the other two items for Neo Teufort Series 2.

And to answer that question, yes I use zBrush for my sculpts, I also use xNormal to bake my textures. You guys should really dabble in sculpting some more.

It's so weird seeing something so detailed on a tf2 character.

Looks awesome btw.

[NeoDement]

Looks overdetailed next to the rest of Spy imo, simplify it down to less wrinkles and a bigger X pattern on the upperarms imo

So I've gotten more than a few requests to convert my Halloween minigun "Doombringer" into an all year minigun. I figured I could retool it to work with the Bebop heavy I am currently working on. Since the Bebop heavy has a punk rocker look I converted the ammo canister into a giant boombox. I figure it can have all kinds of stickers and graffiti painted on the gun and some bullet dents and scratches on the shield.

It would be kind of fun if the gun had a knock back radius from all the bass. Not sure what kind of con would balance that.

Tentative name "Thumper". Thoughts?

Is it really not possible to make custom gibs that don't replace anything? I've set up the $break lines but nothing appears at all (but the gib models themselves are fine):

I'd have to redo the entire quilted parts all over again but ALRIGHT

[QUOTE=Hawt Koffee;45082116]I'd have to redo the entire quilted parts all over again but ALRIGHT[/QUOTE]

Imo the shoulder part is okay, just do the upperarms, and try making the normal of it less intense, so most of the detail is just in the diffuse. tried doing scaled armour a while back, normals instantly made it a whole lot noisier

[blaholtzen]

[QUOTE=Hawt Koffee;45082116]I'd have to redo the entire quilted parts all over again but ALRIGHT[/QUOTE]

Considering it's on his shoulders and that there's gonna be rimlight I'd recommend doing lined quilting instead, so you lose the horizontal lines, which I fear would get noisy, but larger might be enough

EDIT: It wasn't really supposed to be funny, just indicating the area I meant to be as Cream Spirit color.[/QUOTE]

I would of said wires but it doesn't matter.

[Hawt Koffee]

I'm just going to cut the number of horizontal divisions on the upper arm so it's still lined up vertically with the sleeve, bake that out and superimpose it on top of the existing maps

[BonJons]

[B][U]Update[/U][/B]
Faded out the line on the visor at the ends, lightened the team colours and changed the wire colours to cream spirit as requested by gabrielwoj

Don't mean to sound rude, as its really nice work and all. But it seems [b]REALLY[/b] weird to have a jacket on spy with no attempt to hide the rest of the original jacket. Like borderline stupid looking weird.

i annoys me almost as much as people separating the torso half of the medic jacket from the tails, like the Ward, leaving the tail completely disembodied. it looks borderline stupid.

[Constructor]

Hey guys! Can I get some constructive (heh) criticism on this tommy gun I made? Something about it seems off, maybe it has too few distinct colours? Maybe the texture is too messy? Something is weird.

[IMG]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/40395733/tf2/smr14/tommy.png[/IMG]

It does not clip as much as you'd think. It also comes with three cosmetics (I cropped an old version of the gun out of the image)

we already talked about this problem months ago and decided it wasn't worth trying fight with the base mesh to hide the coat tails.
Making the jacket longer or even giving it coat tails of it's own would make it look ridiculous.
but it's still a bit of a shame that the base models aren't modular enough to have that level of customization. Hell, valve has been updating old dota models to be modular

Antimage's old base model - not very usable
[img]http://www.cyborgmatt.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/Dota2_AM_Old.jpg[/img]
New base model - so much more usable, not to mention much higher res textures
[IMG]http://www.cyborgmatt.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/Dota2_AM_Base.jpg[/IMG]

if Valve can spend that effort on Dota 2 all the time I don't see why we can't see something like that applied to the characters from time to time. Different games with different reasons I guess but it'd be so much more helpful to have more body groups at least.
