Hidy-ho!

I'm new to source modeling. I started this small set to extend your base with new objects.

Door with three skins (red, blue and neutral):

The frame will be deleted soon, there are small spaces between the walls and the frame.

Weaponhooks as seen im Meet the Spy:

Building cubemaps didn't work for some reason so I disabled them and so the bottles and knifes look strange.

The TF logo with the sizes of 256x256 and 128x128, separate glass covers and with six skins (blue, red, neutral, blue illuminated, red illuminated, neutral illuminated):


The characters (I forgot the Soldier on the pic) as wooden fake-things in red and blue:


A fan with the sizes of 256x256 and 128x128 in three parts (fan, base and cap):


Right now it's still a small set. I'd like to know what I could add and what I should definately improve.

But be aware that I use SketchUp which doesn't have the options of texture baking like other programs do. I can only manually bake the rendered pics on the models. So the simpler the model, the better it'll look.

Also, animations aren't possible for me. They have to be done in Hammer. Unfortunately the func_rotating still doesn't work.

PS: The map is just for testing purposes, I would put more effort in it if it was a "real" map.

Thank you all!

awesome, it would be nice if the back of the fan was open (so light can come trough)
If you're patient enough (not like me) to remodel the fan base with brushes you can have light shine through it as well. The base, the fan and the bars are separate.

Blast! He can't!
(I know you cant animate, I just mention it so someone else could do it)
Yes, that would be great!

I forgot to mention that I have problems with the colision meshes right now. Exactly this problem: [ame="http://forums.tf2maps.net/showthread.php?t=9675"]StudioMDL making my collision model into a single convex shape - TF2Maps.net[/ame]

I don't want to move that discussion to this thread. I just wanted to mention it and that I have no control over any bones in SketchUp. It worked before in HL2 EP2 though.

Thanks for this! Love the fan and the doors have a great look to them.

I think its' not "Evil Genius" (which, IMO, is a great source of mapping/modeling inspiration) as much as a general "Star-Trek-esque Sliding Doors" thing.

Nothing to add to my fellow pre-posters.

These models are simple but at the upper edge of uber-awesome. I like your ideas - and your realization!

I have quite a uncommon request for the fan's size... could you also create a 320x320 u Version of the three parts?

EDIT: Evil Genius is one of my favorite games beside TF2. Too bad I never found the motivation to finally end it.

The doors remind me of the standard doors in Evil Genius. [...] Is that what you were going for? :p

A click on my profile should answer that question:

Wouldn't 256x256 fit? If I run out of ideas/skill I'll create it for you.

Evil Genius Gold?

Please tell me if the "Gold"-line is too silly. Then I'll remove it.

Bullion usually just has a logo stamped into it, so stamp it with the TF2 logo. and for bonus points, give it two more skins with red and blu logo stamping.
