[WIP] Pinch Bomb Cart Model

[grazr]

This looks pretty awesome. I'm not sure about the front.. it's very bland. one or two horizontal poles instead of that metal sheet would probably look nicer, imo. If you know what i mean?

Or an embossed symbol of some sort, like a lightning bolt? I agree though, it's a bit bland on the front. Otherwise it looks incredible.

Add a TF2Maps.net sign to the front >.<

 

[Vander]

Yeah, badass model, definitely needs an additional visual element in the front though...

 

[Cerulean]

Here's what I got so far

The metal is a little dark with my cloudy skybox... can't really see the detail

I'd say slap a digital timer or antenna on the front there.

Yeah, this,

[AWESOME-O]

btw, slap some funny text on it, or a smiley

 

[Snipergen]

For the love of god make it all metal, a thing like this shouldn't have a single piece of wood in it! It looks really cool already!

 

[grazr]

I was thinking..

 

[Dan2025]

Seems like it will be the perfect thing for indoor maps with that whole 'scientific' feel to them. I always thought that the normal cart would stick out in maps with a theme like that of Turbine.

 

[Beetle]

yea. it would go right along with the spytech part of maps.

 

[Cerulean]

kkkkkk

Thanks for more feedback.

@Notoorjus
I will brighten the cart overall (just need to check how much of the darkness was affected by my overcast map settings)
The supports will be brighter than the rest of the cart, but not marble-y like the rails.
And the ? is a suggestion for extruding out that side of the bomb? Looks kinda tf2-ish... we'll see.

@Sniper
IT WILL BE METAL geeeez. I was just posting the part of the cart that I had changed... now I gotta figure out how to put all the modified UV into one map. Stamps...

@grazr
Its just... I don't know... the pole doesn't seem to fit. But, maybe. And yeah, there will be an antenna (not on the front though). The front will probably just have some kind of warning sign.

@AWESOME-O
Still deciding on a quote

 

[nfreader]

Maybe the antenna can be like the one from the top of the engineer's build tool (4). And as a signal that the cart is moving, it could be radiating blue circles (like radio antennas from old cartoons).

Just my two cents.

 

[Cerulean]

small update, still changin stuff

and added back the little steps on each side

hey cerulean, looking good man i took your image and edited in 1 thing, i'm glad you took my idea of the glass surrounding the inner bit and it looks awesome!

notes:
about the fragile part the bomb looks too fragile to me, if it were dropped straight down it would buckle and break the glass. the digital timer bit im sure people have already stated they would love to see a timer on it and a digital timer would look perfect with this bomb, preferably on the front of it. i would imagine a rectangle shaped built in timer.

these are things you can try and see how it looks, scrap it if it doesn't work out.

 

[AWESOME-O]

put a message like, kaboom somewhere on it orso,

 

[TheDarkerSideofYourShadow]

It would be great if someone could come up with sounds for this as well. Would need at least a power up sound (warble-warble-warble), and then a discharge sound. I'm thinking about using this model in my payload map (I have a great end scene in mind with it, heh), and the sound would make it that much better.

 

[Cerulean]

Added radar, some wires, and possible decal instead of quote? Radar rotates from side to side.

And there will be sound. And a bit more support for the bomb... maybe a detonator type device, then I think that should be all.

This shows the decal better, might brighten it a little, and change the face pose (if I keep it):

 

[Wigs]

honestly i'd take the face out. kinda pulls you too far out of it. but over all really cool work i'm impressed. maybe instead of the face put a big rectangular digital timer w/ red numbers or something...that might be alot of work i have no idea
