WiP in WiP, post your screenshots!

Just make a small label on the front with the text there.

Doesn't matter if it's too small to read.

If it's going to be something so small, I'd go for a simpler texture like the spawnroom spray can does. Currently, a can like that would be hard to identify on a shelf with that wraparound text.

Or just paint the entire body of the can the team color with a big R or B respectively. Compliment this with graffiti stencil overlays/decals. Looks good otherwise.

Heck, if you're gonna do that, might as well ditch the whole prop and just make a new skin for the existing spray can. Preferably without the hard-coded LOD clamping the default skin has.

 

[Kube]

this is the only thread IN THE WORLD where you can get into an intense argument over the label on a spray paint can.

#spraypaintfail #LODclamp #tf2maps #wipthread #arctichype

I'll look into modifying the label, but you people need to chillax.

It's cp_glassworks, the chandelier looking ropes in the foreground are around the doomsday devices above last.

I guessed it right then

Am I a cool nerd now?

a quick render

yeah yeah, add wear, lod pinching, smooth it out, all that jazz

You were always a cool nerd, mappy.

Oh, I do have a serious question. Does Source deal with the rugged edges of a round model with smooth lighting, or do I have to increase the face-count dramatically?

Edit:

Also, please help me with a problem located on this thread.

Edit:

Phong shading. You can tell Source to do that in the texture's .vmt file.

And if you already are, then I don't know anything else besides increasing the face-count.


Also, dat Monoculus pun.

Your model already has too many faces for TF2 :s
Unless you mark faces as sharp the lighting should be smoothed in game. Or select everything and select "smooth" I forgot where that option was, didn't use a modeling programm in a long time

Did someone say clear ice couldn't refract?

And stickies do stick:

Still workin on a slightly blu-ish variant. Not the finished variant:

EDIT ok how 'bout this color, along with clear:

Now Source does have an ice surface, however it makes people slide around for a long time, as if people were wearing ice skates. So now the surface is made of glass (for the engine at least).


EDIT I got the refract from this texture, however I don't really think it fits TF2 very well.

EDIT 2 Got a clear version too, next to the blue one:

What some snow overlays can do to a border between ice and land:

 

[Tumby]

Next step: create a blend texture with a stock snow texture. I have no idea how though. Someone pls help.

No, I said it needs a func_brush to work properly.

Well that whole thing is a world brush and it works perfectly fine. I have no clue why Valve says it only works on a func_brush, as you can see it works perfectly.

 

[Vel0city]

On another note: is anybody already making blend textures from already existing textures? If not I will start on that in about 2 days using textures that are already in game. A lot of wall and floor textures can be mixed with the few snow textures that are already present in the game to make new textures.

I was going to suggest that it's just outdated information from the Half-Life 2 days, but then I remembered that water is a world brush that's allowed refraction since the very beginning, so that's probably not it.

But what is it.

At least give us some clues.
