Model Folding knife for the spy [WIP]

[dr_shenanigans]

Hello all, this is my first attempt at doing models for tf2, and also my first real attempt at doing modeling. :blink:

A folding knife for the spy. at the moment it is VERY WIP, but i feel I'm getting somewhere. (see screenshot)

(currently being worked on in Blender 2.60a)

youtube clip of knife ingame:

UPDATED 11/5/11 (mostly complete model-wise, see screenshots)
UPDATED 11/8/11 (having issues with the itemtest wizard (see second screenshot))
UPDATED 11/11/11 (Managed to get it working ingame, but with some textural issues- frigging bones being renamed by the SMD exporter making me rage at the compiler. oh and screenshots updated with youtube clip of ingame prowess )

I think that looks as if it could go quite far Nice design

Nice. I really like the handle.

thanks for the feeback

screenshots updated, with mostly complete model, this point I'll be messing with the eternal reward to get an idea of size, textures and such.

and I think i have a proper name and what I'd use for it's stats.

The Rival's Repetoire
"From Prussia with love -XXX"
On Backstab: next swing is 30% faster
on Miss: Next swing is 30% slower

-=planned styles=-
Style 1: Black Widow
This style is the "stylish" option, i'm planning to have a team-color wooden handle, a platinum blade and a black widow spider on the hilt.

Style 2: Maneater (might not use this one though)
carbon black steel blade and hilt, with team colored black widow- based off the model knife i used for this one.

EDIT: changed item quote

I really like the knife, but i think the color of the handle is a little to bright for the tf2 artstyle imo. If you want bright try going with the "team spirit" colors. I maybe wrong since all the pictures where took it are in a high light level :/


Ravidge edit: Brilliant necrobump. You really added a lot of value to this dead thread.
