Since it's going to be a while until i learn how to 3D model, I'll post here some old designs I never had the chance to see in 3D.
(CLICK THE PIC TO SEE THE WHOLE THING)



Here there are 3 pyro hats, 1 pyro meelee weapon and 1 demoman weapon.



This is an odd idea i had. A few months ago it didn't seem like working out in the game, but now, after the polycount update, i think it can be done.

If somebody feels like making the 3D design, I'll be glad. If not, I'll just have to hurry up and learn how to model faster.

I pretty much only signed up to participate in the old contest but since everyone has been hyping this thread to me lately, here's some of my crap!

The Accelerated Regulation Kit (ARK). An oil can for the Engineer. The nozzle thing uses the pistol holding animation and the bucket thing goes on his belt. A little weird? You bet your ass it's a little weird!




The Sir Tavish Set for the Demoman. The textures have been updated a little since this picture. Also, the sword does some cool stuff but I don't feel like typing out another essay about ghosts!




Here's an unnamed watch I'm working on for a new pack. It's going to be super!

@Mnemosynaut I've been excited for the demo man pack every since I saw it on the emporium. Same with the watch, it's freaking gorgeous. I haven't seen the ARK before and it actually seems like a neat idea. Not sure what it would do, but still cool.

Arcaltarion : I use the below method, although in saying this its been a few years since i used max so im completely open to adjustments

Mine's a slightly faster version, when you're just baking to a texture

@Mnemosynaut

I think that spy watch is overall pretty sweet on design but one big problem is the wristband. It's too noisy for TF2. I think it would be better with just a dark gray swatch and maybe a little gradient in its specular.

Thanks for the feedback NeoDement, i added the text as i felt it added some kind of commercial branding onto what is usually a mass produced product. I also wanted to see some more detail and mostly i just liked the way it looked.

I submitted this a week or so ago so i wont be making changes at this point, but out of curiosity why do you feel mann co is out of place?

Do cones normally have stuff written on them?

And even if they do, Mann Co is kind of a weapons manufacture company, I'm not sure they'd dabble into road furniture :P

Introducing the Gibbing Goalie. Designed to be a defense class hat the gibbing goalie strikes attackers with an all too familiar fear. Don't bother running your already gibbed.

Comments and Suggestions please.

Needs a chainsaw.

Not sure about the mask's nose though, looks a bit odd. It also feels slightly over-detailed, red marking and all the other dents.

Not with me - i stopped my project, because i can not set bone's mass on that damnit fur coat.

P.S.Your beard is better.

@Arcaltarion well, this is the best link.... HERE

What 'tis with this influx of AWESOMENESS-ESS-NESS!? Please stop! You guys are makin' me cry!

I gotta step up my game and get back to workin' on my spy hat! 'Tis been so long since I've made any TF2 - I'm really out of it.

More smoking bandit shots as requested.

Skizot: I really like it, although the beard feels a little single-colored, perhaps add shades of gray here and there.

It also feels a bit like it's sticking too "naturally" to the heavy, I can't see the backside, but perhaps you could add a string around his neck that ties the beard to it :P?

Maybe you could do the lip "ridge" a little less deep :P?

Alright enough with the criticism, it really looks great, you did submit it even though it's already been done right :P? Hope you did

----------------------------------------
Mnemo: Those are awesome! Every one of them!

And here comes the criticism :P

Gas Can: No complaints here, looks fantastic

Demo set: It looks fantastic, but what I'm worried about is that it's too "English medieval" and not enough "Scottish"

Why would I want to bore you with my suggestions when you can just go watch Braveheart though?

Unnamed Watch: A beautiful piece of artistic design, I'm a little worried about the visual's "usefulness", as in how is a sundial going to make you invisible :P? Perhaps add some simple wires just barely visible under the watch or something, just to give it a little bit more of a"concealed high-tech"

(Sorry I couldn't turn "bold" off btw)

Notacomputer: Liking your work, but what are you using to render it? Feels very odd, just looking at the texas ten gallon it feels like a completely different hat... and the scout's eyes... :S

I'd love to see how your work looks like in the TF2 engine :P

a gentlman: I havent had too much time to play with getting them into tf2 yet, i've been just doing some quick renders see how people like them. But the next step for me is getting it in engine.

awesome!

PerfectChaos, that looks familiar!




Nzdjh - I love the pipe! Craving it now

wow, thanks guys for all your AO links

Yes LOOK AT THIS LINK http://www.fpsbanana.com/skins/83850 same skin here.

Look at these

Notacomputer is obviously a Red Steel fan.

Blegh, was bored this morning. It clips, the texture sucks, its un-stylised and I could shave some more of those polys off but I'm too tired.

Love the Smoking Bandit, notacomputer. Can't help but feel it'd look best on the Sniper :P

So going along with the bolo tie.


1. This part will be flex-boned.
2. An interesting thing. Looks good from a distance, but in close we can see problems. Do you think this is good ? The bolo tie has to go around the collar, but there is no spot there so i just made it like this.

What are your thought about it now ? (Still not finished)





Sorry for mage pic size
