wish I could model.
I'm absolutely terrible at it though.

I'd totally put a dragon in castle.
Well not really, but if I had a dragon model back then i'd probably do it

Im looking for some feedback on a custom texture i made today, its meant to mimick acoustic tiles which are used as ceilings in many facilities. I was surprised to see TF2 didnt have one and used it as an escuse to work on my texturing, so here is a shot of the unfinished texture.

Thanks!

everything looks real nice so far, If your interested in doing some other work, sign up here: http://tf2maps.net/showthread.php?t=458, would ne honored to have you working with that project. Rock2 was a good map, your version should be a hit.

This is looking amazing, I especially like those ceiling tiles you made.
And what is this about it being a paid map pack? how are they going to enforce that? When you join a TF2 server it auto-downloads, are they going to block that with these new maps? That seems kinda lame that they only released the game with 6 maps and now they want you to pay for the rest of the content which should have come with the game.

Snipergen- Yeah i use max 9 for models, photoshop cs3 for texturing.
Ryodoan- I read it wrong, the paying part will most likely be for x360, heres the link. http://kotaku.com/gaming/the-orange-...aps-332731.php

looks neat. I wish I knew how (and had time) to model.
Can't wait to see the finished product.
Also...name it whatever you want

keep modeling dude!
the props look great & u'll only get better.
rock2 was a really fun map in tfc, but it was kinda too large and separated, not a lot of action except for a few areas at times. If u focus on overall gameplay and don't stay super strict to the old layout, i think it will sweet. The main point of rock2 was to turn on the other teams gas and get a suit to survive, so if u base ur map on that, it will be a blast.
Gas suit looks sweet too!
ill probably contact you later when i start working on props again.

Thanks for your support. Im actually about to start modeling a helicopter today for the map. I got the crazy idea to have a helicopter flying around the yard as if patrolling, so on top of modeling and texturing the sob, i am also trying to get a handle on importing scripted animations into source, as path_track's are much to simplistic. So mapping is being put on hold for a while while I do this, i am also moving to a new city and starting a new job this week. Ill update as I progress.

sweet.
yea just keep doing whatever you love, u could really help out in the future with mods and stuff since u can do multiple things, model, texture, animate, map, etc...
also i just noticed that on the bench press model, one side of the barbell has more weights than the other, haha its no biggie at all, just thought it was kinda funny i noticed it.

Haha, yeah. I took one off and resized it to fit a 45 pnd plate and just never put them back on, the others are more like 100 pnd plates.

From what I know about 3d design, you start off with just building the object, then, after the object has been fully designed you work on skinning it with colors and textures.
It starts off in a solid color (Imagine you are making a clay sculpture) then after you finish sculpting it you work on the details.
Here is a overview picture you can put this on your model and make a render then fill in the colors in photoshop.

Sorry for a slow reply, Ive been busy moving
The main reason the models ive shown(for tf2) havent been unwrapped and textured is because I decided to create the basic level first as opposed to making the props. However now that I am more fluent with source, I can turn back to creating the props, and the different texture maps they need.
And yeah, its definatly true, texturing and "especially" Unwrapping is a HUGE pain in the ass, to me way harder than modeling. As for texturing however, its really more about basic fine art skills(shading, color theory, ect) than knowing how to navigate a program. Its a challenge because you have to balance both learning the programs becoming fluent with them, and than working on your fine art skills at the same time. Sometimes I think its best to just stop worrying about learning a program or tutorials and just practice your core art skills, because thats what makes you a artist.
For example, these were done as excersises with the sole purpose of improving basic shading(pic1) and working with colors in photoshop(pic2). And yes im still not that good, lol.
