If you use 3ds (I think) it can kinda automate it for you.[/QUOTE]
I was talking about physically modelling the shirt around the player model.
[QUOTE=StormBlink;45392689]Yeah, There goes my pride. I knew that the model was going to be top notch since I haven't used Blender in a while and preferred Lightwave.

Most of my work was trying to round it out and hide the chin, I liked the various lines since it seemed like hair strokes. But I do know how much of a mess it is while working with it and figuring out the software.[/QUOTE]
You really need to work on fixing the topology of that beard. Right now it's not unfixable, but yeah - if you tried to flex that, it will explode.
My suggestion would be to take a screenshot in the front orthographic view, open it in photoshop and draw a clean mesh as an overlay to give you an idea of how it should flow in order to be more rigging friendly.
As it stands, you should stop work on this and work on resolving the topology issue because otherwise you'll hit a dead end when rigging time swings around and you've already UV'd this.

[QUOTE=GibbleMiester;45391890][B]to make a point to the people who say using a mouse is hard, i decided too make a simple taunt doodle without my tablet. it's not perfect by any standards or even good but it definitely proves that with a little more effort, anyone can draw a decent concept[/B]

1.engineer grabs robo-box
2.engineer drops robo-box on the ground
3.engineer drops some oil into the box
4.robo flower sprouts from the box
5.flower is fully grown and engineer gives thumbs up
[I]end of taunt would most likely have the flower be destroyed like when the engineer destroys a building, gibs and such everywhere.[/I][/QUOTE]
The only way this concept could be better is if he used a little oil can to "water" the flower. :smile: Also, my favorite parts about these taunt ideas are the adorable little cartoons you guys keep drawing. I mean, D'aww :smile: :

[QUOTE=Metaru;45392318]if you're still looking for a suggestion on this, i'd say make him pick a bullet from his vest and carv a mark on whatever primary he has equiped at the time.[/QUOTE]
That's a great idea, but I'm a little concerned with the overall time needed to do this and also for the fact that, uh, sniper is running out of hands. One for sharpie, one for polaroid picture, then one for the bullet (which on the Maya rig I'm using is apparently fixed and not hideable) and he'll still need to be holding his gun which makes things a little more cumbersome.
I think, though, that this might be an action worthy of another taunt of it's own to be honest.
Suggestion for a Spy taunt: [B]The Safecracker's Stride[/B].
Spy walks around similar to the Conga taunt, only with an exaggerated sneaking around like in old cartoons, similar to this:
[video=youtube;vTaYoPKfSQk]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vTaYoPKfSQk[/video]
And maybe randomly after a certain amount of time, he could put his finger to his mouth to signal passersby to keep quiet, like so:

The beard is a little too dark. Other than that, it's nice!
oh , thats just a placeholder material, its not textured or properly modeled yet. it will probably be a little bit brighter

I guess the easiest way would be to dupe the faces and go from there.

beards just don't fit the scout in my opinion.
This is my first real attempt at concept art:

[b]EDIT:[/b] Imagine the vest was more of the primary color for the vest. I used the eyepicker and didn't realize I chose the "poopiest" color.

[QUOTE=kibbleknight;45391760]Another Silly Taunt:
Snack Break
[img]http://puu.sh/abBWQ.png[/img]
1. Soldier stops what he is doing and drops his weapon
2. looks left and right suspiciously
3. grins and starts digging in his pockets
4. pulls out a spoon and a can of beans and sits down (one of soldier's raccoon appears behind him, glancing at the can.)
5. Soldier shovels some beans onto his spoon (the raccoon now begins to climb up his back.)
6. (the raccoon now peers over Soldier's shoulder.) Soldier is surprised by the raccoon, then feeds it some beans. The idle for the taunt would swap between soldier taking a bite or him feeding the raccoon.
[sp]bonus points: if its a full moon or Halloween, the raccoon is a zombie.[/sp][/QUOTE]
A spoon would definitely work with this.. But how would he open up the can?
If it's like a regular can with no tab, I'd give him a knife, or maybe his regular shovel. Soldier seems crazy enough to open up the can by stabbing his shovel into it and using his shovel as a spoon for it.

wayyyy too detailed. looks like it belongs in brink or loadout. too much for Team Funtress.
[QUOTE=wauterboi;45392873]I was talking about physically modelling the shirt around the player model.[/QUOTE]
I just copy the parts of the shirt model that will stay the same from the class model, then edit it to make it have its unique parts.
[QUOTE=perrryz;45391282]it's pretty irritating [sp]in my opinion[/sp] hearing this attitude and seeing how he is turning his back on every criticism or advice people are trying to give him.

make the can a cylinder and put the lid on a few bones so itll bend when he opens it.

Eh, you'd have to deal with 4 different backpacks, and the vaccinator's backpack is extremely different.

okay I got a small idea for a taunt since the tranq gun anims were found in the love&war update:
anyone remember in the first trailer of tf2 how the spy shimmys along a wall and then looks at his gun?
no? here's a gif
[img]http://cdn.makeagif.com/media/7-14-2014/dL2D0O.gif[/img]
maybe import that into a taunt where the spy puts his back up against a wall and looks around the corner then checks his gun out similar (not exactly) to the way it was in that trailer?
is that a decent idea?
give some insight before voting.
you mean this.

Problem I see might be purely technical, but I don't know how alignment to the nearest wall might work. Knowing valve's track record this could be a bug extravaganza to implement.

Perhaps it could be better to get rid of the wall part and just have the Spy stand where he is, look around, and then just admire his gun?
[QUOTE=Omolong;45393752]Perhaps it could be better to get rid of the wall part and just have the Spy stand where he is, look around, and then just admire his gun?[/QUOTE]
well the idea of the taunt was to give the spy more of an old 60's-70's spy taunt, have him be all stealthy and examine his surroundings and such.
[QUOTE=snookypookums;45393730]Problem I see might be purely technical, but I don't know how alignment to the nearest wall might work. Knowing valve's track record this could be a bug extravaganza to implement.[/QUOTE]
I think technical aspects and Valve's ability to implement should be left to Valve. Excluding things such as multi player animations where each class would need a different animation for interacting with each class. Unless someone wants to animate a shit ton.
Deleted the Goatee, Fixed it up with less shit? Is this much better. Anything to fix before I go for the 'Stache?

[QUOTE=Zakkin;45391578]I can imagine a taunt where the spy gets out his balisong and starts doing tricks with it, passing it from hand to hand, then throwing it in the air and quickly putting it away as he catches it. Tricks like these:
Could just hold it down and keep doing a loop of tricks until you let go and put the blade back.[/QUOTE]
I'd thought of doing this myself, too. Might delve into animation later on if nobody's tackled it yet.

He crushes the can with his hand and the top pops open like Popeye.
It looks like you're putting more tris than you need to into that. Not that thats a bad thing.

Do much Tri's on the Goatee or the 'Stache? Because I have not fixed the Moustache yet and only corrected the Goatee problem.
