What ever happened to Selentic?

Banned for two years..

Am I the only one who doesn't think there's any need for more train models in TF2?

No one is forcing you to use the train models if you don't want to.

Well if there's no room on the front and the back is where the boiler is, surely the side is the next logical place to consider putting it.

If he doesn't fancy that he can always move the cabin back and the boiler forwards.

I asked Selentic about this. He felt it wasn't really worth the effort to move it to the side and he said that there's nothing really saying that the back of the train is a boiler (it could be just the front, like the default TF2 steam one is).

Thanks for responding guys!

And this drives home the mixed curse/blessing of being uninvolved and in fact totally ignorant of TF2Maps drama...

Here are some of the fixes described in the last post:

UVs have been revised, the FUR has been removed and replaced with the full name as well.

Oh and for those curious: an animator has been found for the wheels, so they will be animated.

Bloody sexy

Some skinning. Comments are welcome.

quite a nice looking model! but I assume the cab will have more blu/white accenting, as it still looks very bland

 

[Terr]

While nik. said "bland", I have the opposite impression, at least for the already-painted bits.

The paint needs a bit of fading/chipping at some point.

Alright, so Selentic needed help texturing the train so I thought I'd help a brother out and do it for him. I didn't know much about what kind of color scheme to go for or what exactly I should be doing as far as look and style, but after reading your comments I did try my best not to let it be too bland. Anyway, hope you like it! :>

Looks good, I like the progress.

Thanks, that really means a lot! Here's another picture that does the front face some justice.

I appreciate any constructive criticism and compliments are always welcome!

Another thing I think I should add is that I've only been doing this for a few months, so I'm still a little slow and I'm used to doing texturing for other games which makes it harder to capture the general style of TF2.

still looks kind of bland. spice it up a little bit. splash some color.

Looks rather mundane. If you really want to go avant-garde you should replace the wheels with feet.

I'll assume you're being sarcastic, because spicing it up is exactly what I was trying to do.


And to eyefork, I wish I could add feet but Selentic is the modeler. I'd wait for Selentic to respond, but I don't think he checks the forums often.

I'm invoking Poe's law on the above 6 posts. Although it does look a lot better than selentic's usual texturing.

That is JoshuaC's beautiful work.

honestly, this is perfect with maybe some more colors at the darker end of the spectrum (or gray or brown) in some places.
