[WIP] Pinch Bomb Cart Model

[Cerulean]

Everyone keeps saying timer...

But you push the cart to the final point and it blows, no waiting, no timing.

The face was more of a test to see what I could do with decals

Ill sleep on it

 

[laghlagh]

TAKE THE FACE OUT

don't ruin your pretty cart!

And the radar is a nice beginning, but it does stick too much out from the dispenser.

 

[grazr]

Yea, remove the face.

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.

That made me think of the guass gun from hl1 xD

But a bigger boom at the end

Also, if it was anyone's face, shouldn't it be an engy :-D

 

[MangyCarface]

Awesome, but remove that god damn face

 

[Dan2025]

The awesome content of this bomb decreases by 90% with the addition of that face. Please! Don't ruin the cart! It's so awesome as it is! Take off the face!

 

[Chilly]

I agree, the face doesn't work. If you really need something in that area, how about a bracket or clamp that's holding the bomb securely in the cart?

 

[TheDarkerSideofYourShadow]

Have you ever heard the heavy sing (I know he has a lot) the one that goes dun dun dun KA-Boom...KA-Boom.

Just a thought

 

[Snipergen]

Face has to dissapear.
You need an AO bake for the inside of the cart, it doesn't cast any shadows.
Than you can call it finished tbh, looks great!!!!

 

[TheDarkerSideofYourShadow]

Found the name of the sound file. Heavy.SpecialCompleted01

Or maybe an engy's tagline about a sapper would be good too

 

[Chilly]

Aren't sounds attached by the mapper, not the modeler? The sound seems a bit gimmicky to me anyway, kind of like the heavy's picture on the front. If you keep it simple and sleek more mappers will want to use it. Perhaps you could just release it with a buzzing sound (make the buzzing pulsate/get louder when it's moving) and an "explosion" sound. A good sound for that would be the one from the start of Lord of the Rings, where the ring gets cut off. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dr_i2w0W-ZM @ 3:46)

True. Though it would be nice to have appropriate sounds for this.

As far as me linking the sound files, I was thinking about what you could paint on the cart, since most carts have some clip from a heavy on them.

Make this be scribbled on it like the original payload bomb:

 

[bob+M|M+]

Wow really great model!

The most recent pic with the heavy face makes it look childish though

 

[TheDarkerSideofYourShadow]

Just a little bump, want to make sure this is still happening

 

[Cerulean]

Oh god... my amateur tf2 project totally died. I originally started this for the pl contest that was set to end sometime around the end of last year / beginning of this year. But... things came up... they always do.

:huh:

The lack of [custom] particles in custom maps might have been the reason why I lost interest (I'm not sure if there is a way to do that yet). The last thing I remember working on (besides gimmicky textures) was... I think it was called ambient occlussion... adding some kind of soft shadows to the texture. I never did figure out how to do that, despite all the reading I did.

Anyways... if anyone wants, I can put up the [unfinished] model... or the originals for editing... if I can find them. There's probably some better models out there now though...

Too bad. This looks fantastic. Finally, a cart model that looks good going both ways to use in pl_waste - http://forums.tf2maps.net/showthread.php?t=4432

I'd agree--however make the blue parts grey...and for my tastes, make the energy coil in the middle red and blue, depending on which end of the cart it faces.

 

[Cerious]

Add dispenser to both sides (both neutral gray), make pinch bomb cart skin grey, and I think we have a winner for pl_waste.
