Model [REQUEST] Drill & laser (images inside) 2015-08-30

[Acumen]

that's a max viewport shot, Aly

hey there, i have 2 questions. these names you guys threw around in here, on what tf2-models can similar writings be seen ? just so i can compare and research a bit.
or does one just put the "B.A.D."-tag on it, and the full name is just for organic description ?

and then, do you plan to use it just like the mockup image i posted ? because then i'd bake the shadows from the nucleus arms in the texturemap - cause i started working on the uv's today !

 

[Shaar]

I'd just put "B.L.U." on it, the full name will be for the description page of the map

and yeah I intend to use it like that

 

[Acumen]

man, i had no idea how huge the nucleus model is - i just scaled the drill to match the nucleus arms and loaded the model up in hammer and omg it's enormous..... O_O

anyways, here's a test compile
i figured out that i need to change the uv's once more (must be the quadrillionth time ) to get rid of the seams - they're too visible

 

[Shaar]

SO MUCH WIN.

Seriously though, that looks amazing

 

[SiniStarR]

damn acumen that looks great. kudos

 

[Terr]

Sized to the Nucleus arms? Holy moly indeed.

I'd suggest having a half-size and 1/16th-size version, for smaller areas and skyboxes, respectively.

Now I'll have nightmares of that magnificent monster piercing the Mohorovicic discontinuity under my house.

Do I smell a fellow Geologist?


Anyway, I wanted it that big, so that it's got the epic final cap feel too it

 

[Terr]

No, that's just a coprolite in my pocket.

 

[SiniStarR]

Out of curiosity, are you going to animate this?

 

[Acumen]

well i certainly won't do it
today i experimented with the color scheme again and put some text on it. not so sure about that, right now. so i removed it when compiling - but i activated some phong stuff to
i hope to (almost) finish it tomorrow now

 

[Rexy]

Looking pretty good. Keep up the good stuff!

 

[The Political Gamer]

Oh god that is badass!

oh wow, that looks niicee (y)


dont worry about animation , I dont need it animated.

anyway, thanks for your help with this, truely amazing work =D

This is a good idea, the nucleus arms are very big and more people could get use of it if it was half that big aswell..

anyway, AWESOME! hmy: I still think you should finish your first drill aswell, would be WIN x2

EDIT: and don't forgett a red skin

 

[Acumen]

Done ?

on the next picture, i'd like you to focus on my extremely powerful mapping skills which which i crafted the holding brushes

 

[Terr]

Something about the "RED"/"BLU" lettering looks a bit too crisp compared to the overall shading, but other than that it looks great.

 

[Void]

I suggest just using the logos, rather than text.

 

[Acumen]

yeh, i was not sure about the text, either.
i'll wait for toboruin, whatever he prefers, will be final

 

[Acumen]

alright, changed text to logos, like void suggested and i'd have to say i like it much better.
if toboruin doesn't have anything to add or crit i'd release the model with the various sizes you wished for, included.

 

[Rexy]

Acumen, try using a soft light layer mode on those logos so they don't appear full-bright. Right now they look like they're self-illuminating.
