Request : Jukebox

[Rexy]

I'm with Acumen, 3207 is a bargain. Throw a couple of LODs that change at a far distance and you'll be ok. Besides, anyone who puts more than 1 jukebox in the same place is a chinbearder.

Looks like the polycount contest already had a jukebox dispenser....
Not necessarily saying you should use that instead, but it just goes to show that you really should do a bit more research before making request threads in future.

Wait really? That's harsh don't you think? This model you're linking to isn't available for download. The whole point of the request is to get a usable model that can put in a map, not just a picture of one. How does that negate the purpose of this thread?

I'm with you on that, Rexy. Not to mention that A) It's a dispenser jukebox and B) It absolutely does NOT fit the TF2 style.

As far as I'm aware there are no TF2 style appropriate jukebox models anywhere, which justifies this thread.

Don't reduce it if it changes the silhouette. Needs every triangle it can get

thats with tri's :|

just an update, with my midterm finished i can finally start working on this again. I didnt forget it

Helloo,

I made nightclub and would reaaaaaalyyy like this model to be finished!!!

The jukebox that is in nightclub was... "borrowed" from fallout 3 and It's been on my conscience ever since. :O (Yes, I blurred out "vault-tec" in it :blushing: )

Would realy love to use this model in my map! I'm working with a modeler (Charlie) so I've been filling it up with more diner theme models and soon some steakhouse ones too.

While im almost done uv mapping, I was wondering if anyone had some good specific photoshop tutorials that could possibly help with the texturing of this. I'm looking on my own of coarse, but I would like to know if anyone had anything they would think would be helpful. On top of this, I am also wondering the same for VTF's and VMT's. I would like to make this model turn out great!

 

[SiniStarR]

Uv'd but may need some tweaking, just started the texturing process.

 

[SiniStarR]

progress so far. Getting most of the basic texturing done. Dunno how im gonna do detail X(

You need stronger shades on the neon bars. Where their close too the wood, make it darker. I'm sure you already know brush strokes blah blah... but try removing chunks of wood, just to give it so realism, as it's gonna see some bullets, fire, and fonzie. Also, the back needs to be metal.

Hey guys, sorry this has taken SO long to update, but Iife you know? Anywho, so the textures are far from done, but I wanted to make sure that I can get this in the game all nice and compiled. Ill have to fix some faces because parts look too blocky but it look pretty good if I do say so myself. I also started working on Alpha for the glass. Alpha is a bitch, I kind of got it figured out but I guess opacity doesn't work with it, which SUCKS. Oh well

Try examining the texture files for Rexy's vending machine if you want to know how to do opacity. That thing has a glass window that's frosted over at the edges.

 

[SiniStarR]

Thanks for the suggestion, ill take a look.

I learned how to texture bake, and I have to say I think it really improved what I got going here.
See for yourselves

 

[wolfiejo]

Looking good!

 

[Batandy]

Looking really good!

My main concern so far is that, if it's almost as tall as the Heavy, it would be out of scale with other props in the game. I mean, even moreso than how props already are.

I like the model, but you might want to desaturate the colours and add some dirt and imperfections to it, right now it's a bit "fullbright' if you know what I mean.

 

[SiniStarR]

Here are some ingame screens. I'm still working on the overall texture before i get into super detail. I records inside still need some work and it didnt occur to me that the scout is too short to look over the glass. I could use some criticism on the insides and lit green and orange. Also on the grey round things. They look ugly and could really use some suggestions. THanks

 

[Exist]

Remove the split red blue section behind the records, if it's in a spawn, it should be team sided. Remove the tf2logo aswell, it just looks bad floating there.

The real question is how this would do in actual, RC level lighting. I'm assuming (maybe shouldn't) that the green and red bars are $selfillium? If so, I think it would look cool in a dark aren with a single spot light shined upon it.

Also, custom song names must be made for this. ASAP.
