Shmitz's Polypack thread

[HeaH]

Really, make this for the engy

 

[Dr. Spud]

It looks good, but pretty over-detailed when you put it in the characters' hands.

 

[Shmitz]

Is that just a c_model replacement? I'd sure be interested to know how you did it if it weren't.

Well the shotgun is a w_model, so right now as a replacement it's external-view only. I have no idea how I would go about doing the viewmodel, or even if I'm expected to.

I believe you just need to do the c_model since thats what TF2 now uses for all new weapons.

The c_model is basically just a w_model only it's also used by the weaponless arm models they've got for the v_models.

So just do the w_model.

Just wondering, how many polies does that thing have? Regardless though, I think you can get away without making any of the small rings geo (they're hardly visible in first-person as far as I can see anyway) and instead just putting them on the texture. Even then you could probably halve the amount of small rings and it might look a bit less... cluttered. It already has a lot of detail compared to existing ingame weapons as it is.

 

[Tapp]

A bit of a stupid question here, but have you deleted the interior of the rings?

 

[Shmitz]

So I am switching to engy. Here's some concepts for the melee weapon.

Keep in mind the handle and shaft are temporary!. I'm just looking for opinions on which head looks best.

C. But it's looking a bit like the homewrecker.

 

[The Political Gamer]

B

 

[Shmitz]

C. But it's looking a bit like the homewrecker.

It'll look distinctly different (from the homewrecker) once other weapon features are added.

C
but only because its the only hammer that looks like a real tool. A and B look like shapes put together that only work in the modelling application of your choice ^^

[A] http://www.google.com/images?q=ball...=X&ei=HywRTMCoCKqJnAfLnLHhBw&ved=0CAoQpwU4tAE [C]

 

[DjD]

B, definitely.

 

[Mr.Blob]

I like hammer #B - It has alot of character.

 

[Ida]

A or B! I'd prefer A because... I don't know, it seems like a heavier, more powerful hammer.

 

[Acumen]

after having looked at these google pages, i have to revisit my first choice and state that i clearly prefer C over A and B.
because the two look like only a wuss would use it ~~~~~

 

[lana]

B. Players need more ball peen.

 

[HellJumper]

How does one go about specular mapping this? I assume it has something to do with the texturing.

 

[Boylee]

I find the rounding hammer the most pleasing because of it's symmetry.
That said, I think B has a more distinctive silhouette.
