[QUOTE=AyesDyef;44758241]Browsing some silly web forum is the LAST place you want to be while at school.
Open up blank page in your book and draw your model, no jokes, when I was bored in school, I was literally DRAWING the polygons of stuff I was making.
DRAWING POLYGONS, that sounds dumb doesn't it?
Well no, it isn't, I understood my mesh flow better than ever, cos what used take me an hour to get right in 3D, literally took minutes to draw, and because of that, I knew exactly how I was going to model it since I had a in pencil "screenshot" of what I was going to make.
Infact, back when I was in school, we only had like 10 computers, LITERALLY 10 computers in the entire school.[/QUOTE]
im in school to (learn how to) make maps for tf2
cant make hats
did that last trimester
computers class
:^))
hopefully ill be sending some maps this way in the foreseeable future.
I work on hats at home. I'll be working on that bowl today/this weekend a bit
then the brick will get to be all class and will have a finished texture
in the meantime, good music and hammer.
Someone has yet to make a TFC sentry.

Yeah we had 15 initially, but they filled with spider nests.
Just kidding, THAT WOULD BE HORRIBLE.

I have a theory that might work in getting a single center minigun on a level 2 sentry, but it's only a theory. I'll see if I can test it out today and figure something out.
(Well I'll try to figure something out, I'm gonna speed model/texture/rig a PDA cos the people demands it, I don't know why I thought I could hold this out)
While I was trying to decompile the level 2 sentry a while back I did accidentally create this thing.

It does look somewhat similar to the TFC sentry.
Although I never did figure out how to properly recompile a sentry, since the animations always messed up, in that screenshot all the bones are placed into the center of the model.

Oh god how could I have forgotten this
It seriously looks like the engineer got bored and tried to make a mobile sentry, failed, then kept it around as like half pet, half abomination

It shoots stuff, hot stuff, so probably lasers, yeah, lets go with lasers.
And with that, on to the next project, I'm sure you guys are were starting to getting tired of seeing the Sentry all the time anyway.[/QUOTE]
Not sure if it is a bug, but the blue gibs are using red skin.

Only Lv.3, and the mini doesn't have the lightbulb on ? or is that an intentional thing ?
[QUOTE=r_S;44759648]Only Lv.3, and the mini doesn't have the lightbulb on ? or is that an intentional thing ?[/QUOTE]
When you say level 3, you mean the bit with the head piece right? The level 3 sentry uses the level 2 gibs as well.
Yeah there's not light bulb, I didn't design it to come in mini-sentry flavour, so it's got a checker slapped on for now, I'll get to it after I finish my PDA.

Oh that's fine then, the other bits don't have any team colouring on them, I'll fix it when I get the chance.
I'm too lazy to make a good image, but its time to move onto texturing. Which is stupid.

May revise some small stuff though. Which would mostly be little nit picks, but this is essentially it.
Holy shit I forgot scout.

Also, if you have any idea to make it more TF2-ish or some criticism to really make it fit the art style. I'd be glad to hear it ![/QUOTE]
Looks fantastic, though I'd probably do something about the 'barrel' pindrop thingy that sticks out the front. The emitter or whatever you want to call it.
Whilst it fits the style of the retro-futuristic theme, it looks extremely brittle and fragile just poking out like that when the rest of the gun is comparatively bulky and industrial. It looks like it'd easily snap off or become broken if you were to accidentally drop the gun.
Perhaps give it a supporting L-bracket underneath? Make the whole 'emitter' a bit bigger? Could even be an bulky C-shaped bracket, like a Karabiner buckle. Think of the 'blade' section of the Third-Degree.
Just my thoughts.
by the way, what brushes do you guys use for detailing hair? I'm using gimp, and there arent many good brushes that come with it, so id like to know.
[editline]8th May 2014[/editline]
Also, should I remake these?

Ideally the mesh of the hair should provide most of the detail. There isn't a lot of fine detailed texture work on tf2 items.

that seems pointless. You won't even see it.
The 'additional' pieces of glasses that go over your ears are supposed to be rubber? Damn.
Mine are just chunky pieces of plastic over the metal frame of the glasses. They dig into the side of my head after hours of wearing my headset at the computer. Hurts.
Then again my glasses prescription themselves are 8 years out of date and I cant afford new ones. Damn.
Damn it Deedee, I never should have tried that Omelette-du-fromage.
Is TF2 mods closing down or something? Half of the content has been re-uploaded to gamebanana over the last week.

Pretty sure they just want more popular mods over on their site @more traffic, "points" they get for uploading stuff, or such.
I don't even think they get permission to post it there, but hey.

Natko, an admin on Gamebanana, is uploading popular mods that haven't been uploaded to Gamebanana in an attempt to get more traffic or something. I don't even know if they got permission to upload them anyway. Someone asked about it and got yelled at by users who like to suck up to admins, saying "Natko can do whatever he wants!" despite it possibly being against the rules that he possibly enforces.
