Well, I don't really have any experience with SFM, but I've worked with motion capture before. Yes, there's still plenty of things you'll have to edit, correct, and add in, but it does take a large heft of the workload. You don't have to worry much about making sure everything is moving, and only a little on making sure things move correctly. It also helps if your mocap actor is roughly the same build as the character you're mapping the data to.

I guess what I'm trying to say is, go ahead give it a shot. If I remember correctly, the more complex motion is what mocap was original designed for. Yeah, it can come with its own frustrations, but it can make the bulk of the work less time consuming.

Thanks for your feedback! I may be able to get access to a blue screen studio which would be amazing, and partly why I was wondering what the learning curve'd be like; failing that I was going to tinker with kinect, especially seeing as people have used it with TF2 in the past.

Question when you modeled it did he use the original spy pistol as a reference by importing into whatever 3d program he used? Can you tell me exactly which model it was? was it the one with the arms already in it?

>>1078
No you don't understand. She's well done. She just looks ... odd. And not team-fortress-ish.

>>1081
I guess you're not familiar with the character then? Any tips on making her fit inside the world a bit better, or should I try to just adapt it for the source engine in general and make my own maps and stuff?

>>1082
I don't think there's anyway in turning her tf2-ish. I mean the model looks like something out of an alice in wonderland horror game. If you want to do a model for tf2 you should read the comics and pay attention to all different models and characters, to get used to the sort of art and style the tf2 staff uses.
This is just my opinion, anyway.

The femme medic's voice is kinda quiet but I really love the gigantically oversized Berliner's Bucket Helm. God that cracks me up.

The new face looks pretty good though. What happened to the touch of grey in her hair though?

>>777
I still mourn the loss of this medic. I liked it better.

You wouldn't happen to have a picture of that would you?

Dat Ol' Nick.

It's a damn shame how some peeps abuse your models 'Bacus.

I saw a korean guy made an artistic G mod work with your director model. The model was even holding the camera as he was in the comic. But unfortunnately, he deleted all of his work few months ago. Well, it really is shame as Jasonfex said that some bad nuts abuse your models, but your models have been very useful to some G'mod artists. Ofcourse they have to be grateful to you.


P.S:Can I suggest you making fem sniper model? she will be the austrailian Aphrodite in G'mod world.

>>1062
I think Australian Artemis is more like it, but I, too, would love to have a FemSnipes model. If you'd be looking for anyone to do a voicepack for her, too, I'd be available. Got a pretty good Ocker accent, I've been told.

He also modeled this today while I was at work.

All in all, I think you guys did a good job on its design. Everything seems to be in place and workable (from what I can see/little I know of flamethrower operation. One thing, though: I'm not much of a Pyro player (I generally prefer playing Heavy or Demoman), nor do I really have any qualms against the class, but I don't really see much incentive for "napalm" over compression blast. Explosions, possibly jump with or increased damage? I'd like it if you could elaborate on that intended mechanic, but the design itself looks good.

We were thinking that it would do more damage but consume more ammo, something along the lines of 50, as opposed to the air-blast 20, and to use the napalm it would be the same Mouse 2.

The smaller, narrower tank would be where the napalm would be stored, and it would still have the regular propane flamethrower with the larger tank. I don't know much about flamethrowers either, I think he does though, so he could probably elaborate a little more than I can. I'll have to ask him when he gets home.

Something tells me your engy eyes model has been stolen. Get on this!

please finish that mask-less spy, its looks so good, whatever you do, do not change anything about his face model do your texture fixes and stuff but please for the love of tf2 and the fans do not change that face model, i'm friggin serious.

Gorgeous work. All of it Rebb.
However, i'm getting 404'd all over that concept scoot, both with player model and gmod links. Anyone want to share in the meantime??

finished modeling

There's a 'vent' running from the center upper room to the intel room. Unfortunately there is only one way out atm, I think adding a second way in/out would be a good idea... I'll have to think about it but maybe to a midway landing of the staircase or the largest area, along the catwalk maybe. I could also add boxes or another semi-climbable feature to the vent to make it a sort of if-you-have-the-time-to-climb-into-it escape... Hm.

I plan to run bots on it during my exhibit and run it on my own server later for people I know to test-drive her when it's ready to see action. I don't want to throw it out into the public until I'm confident it'll work decently. I also want to see it in the Workshop-- if that's even allowed, I've only seen one map in there, the Skyrim one that will never get anywhere-- so I don't really want to let everyone and their mother download it, if that makes sense. I know map stamps are basically donation-based anyway, but. (Lookit me, aiming for the fucking sky.)

You've been a real help mulling this over, thank you. I'll have to redraw accurate plans with these suggestions asap.

>>1050

No problem

You could try a map community, they might be able to give you super critique.

I think you can post maps to workshop but I think it's less popular, like placing taunts into workshop, just because it's so much more work for something that may not be implemented at all into game.

After all, there are dedicated servers for testing new maps out thre.

>>1054

Oh, perhaps a little obvious but still important, add directional arrows. That can be so useful for direction especially on a new map.

I think a vs mode with Frank the pyro from that one fanfic that I don't remember what it was might be cool, but that's just me.

>>1052

There's a version with Frank the pyro...?

WHERE CAN I FIND THIS! Ohmygawd that sounds amazing!

>>1053
I suggest you read the thread again.
