TF2 work

[GOoch]

Its going to be intresting what you guys desighn when this is released i cant waite to see the work produced.!

Its acctualy got me thinking about cracking MAx back out and giveing the modeling scene ago again.:naughty:

 

[armanguy]

we should have a modeling comp for tf2 or somthin i would be down

 

[clarky003]

That sounds fun, I'd be up for it

 

[Ennui]

It's gonna be interesting fun to map for I think.

 

[armanguy]

hopefully more people read this post , we would need to come p with an idea for what the comp. would have and what we would need to make.

 

[63]

Should be a map contest if anything...

 

[armanguy]

we could do a prop contest maps take months to make! it would nto get alot of entrants and hardly anyone would be able to finish.

 

[armanguy]

just a bump , is anyone down for this?

 

[clarky003]

Sounds cool so I'd be up for it seeing as I havn't been posting any of my work in here for a while.

 

[armanguy]

good stuff now only thing we need is a topic.

i was thinking along the lines of this:

valve has updated the look of tf2 they jave shown us the characters and a segment of a map , with this new information it is set upon you to design and model our favourite little bugger the sentry gun for the engineer you can choose from its 3 phases small medium and huge! what do you guys think? if oyu have any ideas for as topic please post.

also we need to have a poly limit and texture map limit?and if any hl2.net staff want to hlep make this into an official contest that would be awesome, maybe even get valve to throw up some prizes for us kinda like the contest ove at hlfallout that they had awhile ago well im awaiting you responses.

Would it need to be animated too?
I could probably model something rudimentary, but I can't do animation quite yet.

 

[armanguy]

yeah you dont have to animate it just like make it aprop model thisy but if do want to animate it tha would be cool too.

 

[GOoch]

clarky003
mate havent seen you in ages. Now your work i love to see, right weres MAX6 it was lying about some were.:angel:

The ideas ive been haveing are these.

Keep the player models in the same Pixar sort of style. (saying that we could cammo them up but keep the features big like the weapons over sized ect).

The maps...god..with this sort of graphics style it would just look amazing.:rolling:

 

[armanguy]

but wha kind of contest would you like to have?

 

[simon]

hey Gooch, welcome back!

The contest is a nice idea, but i can't join in, since i'm way too busy with off limits atm :/ Otherwise i would have joined, since i like the idea of modeling/texturing a character cartoon style

 

[GOoch]

Simon Dude

good to see you again.

Another superb modeler. Would have been good to see your work on this mate. No problem though i know your a buisy bloke, take care dude.

 

[armanguy]

so what shall the contest be prop or character modeling? and what do we model?

 

[GOoch]

Model what ever you like maps or player models.
Just make it TF2 related Pixar style, with plenty of colour.

What ever you feel like dude in other words

 

[Dekstar]

I haven't really played TFC before, so I guess I should reinstall it to get an idea of what could be created.

 

[armanguy]

sounds good let the game begin

ill make a new thread

 

[GOoch]

You guys still think its a good idea then.?

 

[Stormy]

So it would be like, remake a character or somthing.. sounds kind of cool to be fair.

 

[blck]

I'd love to try it...the new TF2 got me really hooked on cartoon-style http://www.halflife2.net/forums/showthread.php?t=112095
Can't wait to play it...Maybe model some more to fill the gap.
So maps and characters are allowed...And they must be modelled...no sketches, or as WIP. I have an idea for a map. I launched the idea beforehttp://www.halflife2.net/forums/showthread.php?t=109878. THe characters are miniature toys and the map is a house. Lot's of possible action there...Like micromachines was cool, wasn't it?
And do some character to...Or maybe just the sketching...never did a char before.
Hope I find time and inspiration...

BTW I model in RHino...Can export to 3ds and lots of other extensions. Can I export it to source? Need to check in on it...long nights ahead

Any deadline???

Greetzz

Later...

Ooops I posted under a usrname that I taught got cancelled or banned, whatvr...Can some admin delete blck I'll continue as blck_prod...Sorry

 

[GOoch]

Sounds great dude look forward to seeing your work.
No there is no time scale, when its done post it, it mite just be me but i think TF2 is going to around for some time to come:naughty:

Human fly

Hi

Back allready, with some sketch for my character.

for my playable character I wanted to go for an acrobat that swings alongs ropes. Will be tough to code, I know, but a guy may dream...
Would be quite usefull in my "bigger-than-life-house". Someone who can climb walls and hang on ceilings. help the teammates get in the window on the second floor.
Choices are: Female (cyber)ninja, Macho Mexican Trapeze artist, Lumber Jack from Canada or some crazy-dude freeclimber...Maybe I''ll sketch all of them and then decide...Or you guys. So please comment and critisize...

Don't know about the modelling of this char though. Never did one. A Level can be done (I think )...We'll see...In the meantime Enjoy...

Greetzzz

And I know she's a little fat and her boobs are t big. She needs to be skinny...but just to launch the idea

Cant read the small letters?

THIS FEMALE UNIT IS SPECIALISED IN VERTICAL COMBAT. HER MAIN WEAPONS ARE 2 ROPES WITH THE ABILITY TO ATTACH A NUMEROUS NUMBER OF KNIFES, AXES AND OTHER SLASHING EQUIPMENT. THE SET OF ROPES GIVES HER THE ABILITY TO TAKE DIFFERENT PATHS AND HELP THE TEAM CONQUER OBSTACLES THAT WOULD BE OTHERWISE IMPOSSIBLE.A SET OF 2 ENHANCHED CYBER-ARMS GIVES HER AN ADVANTAGE IN BOTH AGILITY AND REFLEXES. THESE QUALITIES MAKE THE HUMAN FLY A TACTICAL ADVISARY NOT TO BE UNDERESTIMATED AND FEARED AT ALL TIMES .

 

[Dodo]

i want there to be compition ! that would own.

-Dodo

 

[clarky003]

That character design is cool blck_prod

I think if I have time i'll make a metal brief case that elaborately opens out into a remote controlled mobile turret.

 

[blck_prod]

That character design is cool blck_prod

thx

Wi'll you animate the turret???
I'd love to know how

i want there to be compition ! that would own.

No need...Think of it as fan-art.
Some therapy untill TF2 arrives

For the moment...no new work. To tired from work
We'll see

Grtzz

 

[clarky003]

I had a go at putting the brief case turret idea together in my spare time, just needs skinning in the right style and rigging properly for source.

Heres some screens and a video of the mechanism.

Woooow!!!!!!! :bounce: You have been bussy...very very nice. Superb animation, Totally the style :thumbs:

I hope I can do that some day, time will tell...First I'm modelling some props for my level. Did some sketches and this is the first. A washing machine or a death trap???

Later Dudes

Grtzzz

 

[GOoch]

Bloody great ideas guys.
I’ve been held up somewhat with Uni stuff and work issues. But I have a few little ideas. J
Hope to catch up soon.

Sounds interessting.

Some more props to keep this tread alive
Love to think how everyday-objects can be turned in to deathtraps.

Grt

 

[Stormy]

Rah i hope your looking foward to texturing all thoes props!

 

[blck_prod]

Rah i hope your looking foward to texturing all thoes props!

I know, I'm not :hmph: And I really must make lots of more props. I plan to do a kitchen and a livingroom for starters. First the modelling part. Hope I can import my files into Source. We'll see...TF2 doesn't arrive till february

Off course help is always appreciated

 

[Mutley]

Awesome work guys.

 

[mindless_moder]

they're nice but most of them look a bit highpoly for "props".

 

[blck_prod]

Hey

A small update some of my 'props' in a kitchen. So moder: "they arent actual props" . The plan is to have them with full physics and such. So drawers, doors can be opened, knobs can be pushed and rotated. Activating something like the stove, oven or blender in the drain. Windows become deadly traps and don't get trapped in the fridge I hope lots of things could be done to the environment and thus creating new routes and traps...We'll see...I guy can dream no
So in the wait for something better...
Here's a kitchen-in-progress:

And a-could-be human fly view

[blck_prod]

Another small update in the toys-project... another 5 cents maybe it'll inspire some people :dozey:

This is a concept for a new weapon. It's a 'balloon'gun. actually it'll be a inflated capsule-gun...You'll see when it's finished

and why am I the only one posting some WIP's in here. I tought it would be cool to have some comments and see what other people do with TF2.

Ps Maybe I should start my own tread, NO?? hello?

Grtzz...

 

[Stormy]

The models look cool but i carn't work out how you have rendered those wireframes, i cant tell where your pollys are or weathre they are being wasted or not! It dose look abit wastful on the toy thing but to say its hard to tell.

Thanx for the comments...I'm not alone in here! ere ere...(echo)
I didn't quite understand what you're saying bt I think you are reffering to the wireframes and noticed that they don't always represent poly's, yes?
That's why all the above models are modelled and shaded in Rhinoceros. -A Nurbs-surfacing program-
model in Rhino because its my preferred modeller. I hate 3dstudio, really do...Rhino is simple yet very very powerfull. With Rhino I can export to 3ds-format and I do think there's a convertor for 3ds to Xsi, no? I do hope so otherwise I'm in trouble. We'll see where all of this ends...we'll see

ThanX for comments and good luck with the Source-mod :thumbs:
