New engineer unlockable is hot! /fake

[Arhurt]

I hope you read the /fake sign on the title.

Just a little model I made for a Lowpoly contest at Mapcore.

My entry is supposed to be the new unlockable weapon for the TF2 Engineer, the Microbots. Instead of building a stationary Sentry Gun, the Engineer spawns three Microbots.
One of them uses a heavy caliber Flak cannon, the other a miniature missle launcher, and the third has special sensors that detect enemy spies in cloack or disguises. They work as a team and are quite fast, if not sturdy as a sentry.

Great!!! You make me wanna enter.

umm they don't exactly look like they are from the TF2 universe, more like zen

Well it's the best I can do with 3 models, 350 polys and no normal map!

/joking

I agree with you, I started it out and when it came time to texture, well I had all my TF2 brushes and color palette on photoshop so I though "Why not?" and painted it for the blue team. Plus I was lazy and exporting it ingame gives me a very good an all set up rendering output

But think of the possibilities, a single Lvl 3 Sentry gun has 15.500 tris. I could spawn 44 of these trio of bots for the same polycount, that's 132 little bots walking around the map.

But I could easily make them more TF2 style with, say, 3x that polycount, but the contest demanded 350 tris for the model, and I wanted to make 3, so...

damn dude, you're good
now if you could animate them and make them do what you said, that would be freakin sweet

I wish those were in Tf2 .
