TF2 Emporium 65 - End of an era - Games

Jesus christ people how can a fan-made set of game character cosmetics raise such a shitstorm Jeez Could we, like, have some more of those wip screenshots and whatnot? I like those

[QUOTE=boomsta_;51913307]I remember a year or so ago some person was doing the same thing on /tf2g/ where they were very aggressive towards Vipes and it ended up being another "contributor" who goes by Ryuga Knight [url]http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198048998739[/url] Not sure if this person is the same person as then, but it makes enough sense since they are attacking vipes as some sort of personal vendetta. I guess it doesn't really matter who it is, just be wary of this person.[/QUOTE] oh look, it's all shit

I know you're just shitposting, but that ribcage one actually isn't an awful idea on paper. Might actually be able to make something out of that.

-snippo- [IMG]https://puu.sh/uutNn/5143957d35.png[/IMG] An old weapon design of mine, which was meant to be for my [URL="https://puu.sh/tXWzJ/25cdd10596.png"]Monk Medic set[/URL] Not too sure about it now, but I do love the work I did on the handle, so maybe I could reuse it.

I *love* that minigun.

[QUOTE=Dragara;51912683]Admittedly, I don't know. Maybe if it got custom animations? (Either way, I'd be fine if it didn't move like that.)[/QUOTE] Custom viewmodel/player animations are totally unnecessary for that. The Ubercharge metering on the Ubersaw is done with a pose parameter, which is an animation "layer" totally contained in the model itself. As long as you have it built right (one bone for the liquid and one for the needle guard) you can do that no problem. If you're not sure how to set up the QC/delta animations when the time comes, I'd be happy to help. [editline]Oh[/editline] Actually, is it still up for grabs? I could do the modeling on it.

hi guys! i noticed something, all the concepts of weapons are in sideview, if any one is interested in becoming a real concept artist i would totally suggest to do the concepts on 3/4 since that is the way that is managed in the industry and that will give much more detail and explain the weapon best for the modeler, but yeah sideview is more fast and "does the job", im just saying this if someone wants to really improve.

A more dynamic view of a concept can always be provided if a shape is needed to be defined between artist and artist, but it's not an absolute necessity.

Where one artist may go into a design thinking exactly how something may look, another may see it entirely differently. It's all a unique melting pot of creativity and you shouldn't police how it plays out. Besides, you yourself have developed sideview weapon concepts. What separates those from anything else in this thread?

oh yea btw check out this comparison image coz it's funny [t]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/900111/2017-02-27_18-13-08.png[/t] (bill is matte coz it's a slightly non-final version)

Hey Guys, I think IJCT might work in the games industry.

[QUOTE=TheJukebox;51914335]If you don't consider Valve a professional AAA game studio then I'd love to see what you think is one.[/QUOTE] the concepts you see there were doing waaay back in the 2006 (or even older like 2001), look a todays valve concept artist and you will see a lot of difference, im not saying in any part that valve is not a professional aaa game studio, thats you just making words. and i said "look at today's standards"

While your advice is not terrible, you have to realize when you say something like "if you want to be a real concept artist" you're somewhat implying that people who don't do that aren't real concept artists at all.

I own a solid collection of artbooks for films, games, and otherwise, to look upon and read through for reference and inspiration. Since I was making dinner, I was a bit rushed and short on time, but I went through a handful of some of the newer professional AAA game studio art I have in my collection. Here's an album of what I found from flipping through artwork for Fallout 4, Wolfenstein: The New Order, the Arkham Series, and Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain. [url]http://imgur.com/a/qdKqG[/url] If these aren't professional, I don't know what it is. Are there various views? Yes. But there's also plenty of sideview concepts, literal pages of them. There's no wrong way of doing anything. Just let people be, you'd be surprised how amazing their work can be if you just let them do it.

guess i wont be giving more suggestion then, dont bother to improve. btw void thats promotional art.

[QUOTE=IJCT;51914401]guess i wont be giving more suggestion then, dont bother to improve. btw void thats promotional art.[/QUOTE] No it's not. Have you ever read an artbook? It's a collection of behind-the-scenes work from development, showing how the weapons and world is created. It's not made to sell the game or film - it's made for the people who already bought it to see how it was made. People can improve by doing what they please and continuing at it. People [i]can't[/i] improve if you treat their ways as inferior or anything less than what you personally perceive to be professional. The industry is much more forgiving and welcoming than your limited views, and if you can't come to terms with that, than it's you that should improve.

[QUOTE=IJCT;51914401]guess i wont be giving more suggestion then, dont bother to improve. btw void thats promotional art.[/QUOTE] The idea that you think they just drew pages upon pages of stuff just for "promotional art" is ridiculous. Yes, perspective views are good; but most of the time I can manage fine without. If there is anything that trips me up then I'll simply ask the concept artist and we can work something out. It's just a lot less work than it would be to draw a complete perspective view on top of the side-on view. If you really are such an industry professional, then I'd suggest dropping the ego down a few notches.
