WiP in WiP, post your screenshots!

I had to set it aside :}

I'm learning how to model. This is based off of the tesla claw weapon from the ratchet and clank series

I still have to detail the claws (and everything else), then I get to venture into the world of UV mapping

The design is different because of 2 reasons. I am not good at modelling, an the original design looks like it would clip though the engineer/be awkward. Should i try to make it like the original anyways?

edit: yea the original design looks way better, gonna change it!

note to self: bottom claw is not thick enough vertically

perfect, seba

now texture and release

 

[tyler]

nah just release it

 

[owly-oop]

New design, I think I'm done with modelling this. It's pretty close to the original tesla claw now.


Now to UV and texture

But wait, a wild Top gear appears!

Top Gear uses distract

it was effective

@Prestige: What's up with the single light on the point in the first screenshot?

goddammit prestige up the damn brightness

look at pipeline look at doublecross look at...damn cant remember a third valve night map

the playable area there is as bright as in a daytime map

On a random note, here's a thought after reading the above post. Reading "Doublecross" made me think it would be cool to have a KoTH map that has the Doublecross visual feel to it. A nice clear night using those building styles. That would be sexy. Doublecross is a pretty map, though I personally think it is quite a bore/chore to play.

I believe Randdalf is making koth_chasm in the doublecross theme.

Fun Fact:: Clowns and Circuses were very popular family attractions in the 1950's
------------
I'm done with the clown.
*All items are one accessory slot, except the hat which is hat slot.
*I pulled the headpiece further down on his head so the hair wouldn't clip as many hats. It only clips a few now and not too badly.
*Added jiggle bones to hair and flower.
* Darkend the feet to go with more of the original art style (less attention to feet), of course this is broken somewhat now with pink scout socks, etc... But I figured bringing down the tone would help. Also changed the main part of boot to black instead of white.
*I expanded the boots a bit so they encompass the original boots better (in case valve doesn't want to seperate pyros feet). There is a tiny bit of clipping on dead bodies, but that's all I could find.
*hat is 256x256 and 402 tris, the accessories are 256x512 and 1052 tris. So I'm not sure about LOD's. I guess I can shave the accessories down by a few hundred by deleting the shoelaces and a coupkle polys on the tie/hair. But is it even worth it?

Still need some names.

Darn, had forgot about this, should I give him 'clown eyebrows"? I meant to do that earlier. Now the uv's would be a bit rough

My BATT entry is coming along, methinks (Ignore lolfullbright).

Firing animation:

Did you parent the nozzel to weapon_bone_1? As I had a simular problem with the dodgy firing animation, and I fixed it by parenting it too the regular weapon_bone. Weapon_bone_1 is used for the trigger only.

Well, this is my first contribution. After tons of maps barely started, I've made this. Still heavily WiP, I haven't even constructed it all yet. It's an arena map that I may turn koth as well depending how it goes.

It was intended for Assignment Frenzy 5, but I ran out of time due to schedule conflicts and I truly realized how little 350 objects were.

And as a side note, just to be sure, for symmetrical maps is the easiest way to make the other side just to copy, paste and rotate?
