Fortress Forever Update

[Azlan]

Fortress Forever is a team fortress conversion that's been in the works for awhile now. They've released a great looking model of the Pyro tonight. Many people have been wondering what the classes would look like, so here is a taste of things to come.[br]

[nutcrackr]

looks different from the tfc one but I still like it.

 

[dassbaba]

nice as usual - though i worry the TFC feel might go missing

very good though, this could be the most talented team i've seen

 

[bigdeezy23]

YES! That Pyro model kicks ass!

 

[Asuka]

Model kicks ass!

To give you some insight into the concept process we've also uploaded a composite showing some of the ideas that go into concept creation.

http://www.fortress-forever.com/?a=media&id=pyro_concept2

The idea of concept art is to try ideas out and experiment, some none or all of the ideas may make their way into the final model/Textures. Trench coat is certainly a variable item, it can easily be modified into a short coat or military jacket. Furthermore regarding general coloring, ill repeat that concept art is to try out ideas, colour variations and 'look' - nothing is yet set in stone.

I think the Pyro looks pants to be honest. Why does he have a trenchcoat? Not very practical when you spraying out firey death to all & sunder!

 

[IchI]

I really like the pyro model hurry up and get it skinned and animated!

Oh ye and remember your LOD system, it looks quite high polgon.

 

[virus]

However did people cope before you were here to remind them?

 

[Chris D]

Probably a lot better

He's been playing around with fire so long, his skin is hardened and dry.. Flames do nothing but lick at em.

It's a firecoated trenchcoat, made from asbestos. It's fireproof and so is he :flame: He's mad I mean just look at the original skin for the pyro he looks real psycho, thus this concept fits him (and really you have to be slighty insane to be able to torch people all day long), he's the one to the left side:

 

[kraesen]

That pyro model owns ^^

And you don't have to be 'mad' to snipe (watch peoples heads explode in detail through a scope), chaingun (obliterate crowds of people), spy (knife people in cold blood), medic (infect everyone with some rapid-action infectious aids) etc?

I love the model, I just hope that the coat thing is animated when the guy runs otherwise it's going to look stupid if he's running arond and the coat doesnt move.

I hope the HW guys' powers are seriously lessened (equalised) for Fortress Forever, too...

That is all, nice work

I love the old models, so quite frankly this is a disappointment. It seems like all of the new fortress mods coming out have these post apocalyptic models. I love how Valve's seemed somewhat down to earth and modern.

yep, me too . but they said they were trying out concepts, so they might change it into something better...

hmmmm, you always have something to say about my posts You made it out like I didn't need to remind him but take into acount I have seen 0 and I mean 0 people doing any LOD system work at all... infact they are a lot of mods who seem to think it does it automatically. So its not a stupid comment as you seem to be sujesting.

 

[§amW]

hm.... hair is flammable... especially when gelled up into spikes...

he has protected his whole body but neglected his hair?!

 

[Azlan]

For everybody analyzing the model, please keep in mind that Team Fortress has never been about realism. :imu:

really.. I personally love the model very orginal.. but then again I was never a big fan of tfc

luckily it's just concept but I agree that the trenchcoat makes him look a little odd. Strange though, he kinda resembles(in my opinion) some type of hybrid of darkman.

When you post renders (or even in-game shots) to show off your work, it's not common to show all the LOD models, which are inevitably of lower quality.

 

[Nindoze]

personally i like the tfc classic gasmask pyro

but if they choose nice colours for this skin it might look appealing though

 

[Soundwave]

This is going to be one amazing version of Team Fortress. I want this more than any official game this year easily.

 

[Azlan]

Just released tonight!

Are those holy grenades?
