Think I'm going to have to give this a go

So this is what I've got so far, still need to have a think about the third item. Not sure if i will go with the shotgun/flare gun or one of the flamethrowers.

Skeep · May 2010

Haven't had a great deal of time since posting my last image. Had some thoughts about the third item i want to do. Thinking I'll go with one of the flame throwers and do a bit of a barbecue spit roast look to it.

Started doing a rough model of the chefs hats, just trying to find the right shape a silhouette it.

AHahahaaha. Waffle axe.

Awesome stuff.

Khthon · May 2010

That waffle Axe concept is genius.

Karkasmolenklok · May 2010

I shed a tear.

Y_M · May 2010

Those are some great concepts

The chef's hat maybe isn't saggy enough at the back?

BANG! · May 2010

Waffle axe = pure win

ShadowBrain · May 2010

:O make it use jigglebones!

I assume you mean the hat

EVIL · May 2010

this is awesome! I want to play with these items

Burkans · May 2010

Waffle exe should heat and do more damage over time you keep in your hands, without changing weapons. That would be awesome

Love the concept.

Galago · May 2010

I love these concepts!

That's a cool idea actually.

Burkans · May 2010

Karkasmolenklok
Thanks

chickenman · May 2010

i would not have had as much creativity to come up with a waffle axe.

I would have just settled for a frying pan. good work.

Ikimono · May 2010

You should probably do something else as a hat, There's a LOT of chef hats for pyro already out there. Or just a different style of chef hat.

Meower · May 2010

Waffle Axe is something you'd expect from Axe cop

EvilShadow777 · May 2010

For the Pyro's chef hat I think the safest thing to do for it is to add jigglebones. Don't scrap the chef hat idea, make a better one than all the rest!

Anyway yea, waffle ax ftew! Love it.

dickless · May 2010

Oh Mah Gawd

Waffle Axe is pure win.

oobersli · May 2010

awesome concepts. If you could replace the canisters on the pyros chest with bbq sauce, salt and pepper smoke bombs.. that'd be sweet.

That would be the best misc item ever, especially if we got REAL jigglebones.

Wow, that IS a great idea. Maybe it would even inspire Valve enough to choose this pack if it was a flip up between this and something else.

Don't forget the best thing: BARBECUE. :thumbup::thumbup:

How about an antique stove/grill/oven inspired flamethrower (maybe even with a grate on top of the tube with hamburgers and hotdogs being BBQ'd from the heat)!?

The flamethrower would have a small antique stove 'furnace' and grill grates strapped on top of the stove pipe-styled flamethrower pipe where food might be grilled. Awesome doodads like stove pipes with steeple tops could be added for the silhouette!

The aesthetic would be antique and exaggerated stoves, ovens and grills. I think it would be amazing.:poly142:

Here's some refs-

GG_Underscore · Jun 2010

HAHAHAHA - love it. i agree with oob but instead of BBQ it should be butter and syrup for the waffle axe.

cool theme

Karkasmolenklok · Jun 2010

I do agree that working some sort of chimney into the flamethrower would be cool.

Noors · Jun 2010

aaw makes me think about a BBQ dispenser

Cheeezy · Jun 2010

The payload cart has a chimney pipe you can look at.

Karkasmolenklok · Jun 2010

I'd go for one slightly different though, just to give it distinct flavor. There's a bunch of possible ones. I'd tend to look for ones like the ones on smokers

Khthon · Jun 2010

Tell me what you think of the old stove/bbq/oven flamethrower concept

Skeep · Jun 2010

Wow, wasnt expecting so many comments. Some really helpful stuff in here now, havent got anything down on paper but Ive got some new ideas floating around in my head as to what I want the flame thrower to look like now. Really like that third image down you posted Khthon got a nice shape to it, something I can see fitting into the flame thrower. Ill probably spend a bit more time on the weekend nutting out a few concepts for the flame thrower and looking at the importing process on tf2 items just to see if there are any limitations I should be aware of. Ill try to get a video up soon of the progress of the chefs hat, its going to be jiggle alright.

And thanks all for the comments, its been helpful

Khthon · Jun 2010

Awesome, can't wait man!

Dodeca · Jun 2010

Wow. I just have to say, I registered for this forum just to post on this idea. I think the Waffle Axe is in the top three entries I've seen to date. Well done. I hope the model looks great when finished! The idea of the heat up is killer, too. The overall package as a chef is good, but even if that doesn't fit in the tf2 world or doesn't get chosen I still think Valve should keep an eye on that axe.

Skeep · Jun 2010

Its only taken me two days of running through tutorials and banging my head on the desk, but I've finally managed to get the hat into tf2 with the texture and some of that good old jiggle bone action. Its still pretty rough on the rigging and the texture is just a AO map, but i just wanted to see what the process was on getting models into tf2 so i can test the models out in game.

Looks fabulous.

Skidd · Jun 2010

Really hoping this stuff gets in.
Cool stuff.

EVIL · Jun 2010

awesome, now get sculpting on the waffle iron axe!

Pogo · Jun 2010

Love the jiggle on it

Hotdogbunker · Jun 2010

I love that hat, i can't wait!!

Galago · Jun 2010

Finally, a well done chef hat. Bravo. Now let's see that waffle-axe!

Whool Socks · Jun 2010

Hahaha Waffle Axe, you made my day! Can't wait to see that flamethrower.

Skeep · Jun 2010

Haven't had a great deal of time to upload anything to this post this week. So currently I've started modeling the waffle axe and I'm going to try and get that in game this weekend. Need to check that it looks good from the FPS view. I've done a bit more to the chefs hat, its about 80% done. Having a few issues figuring out how to get the team colour swapping of materials working. Finally I've got a rough idea down of the flame thrower down.

Ruskeydoo · Jun 2010

creme brulee torch!

Karkasmolenklok · Jun 2010

Not feeling the flamethrower, skeep. Seems like too much and too clunky.

I do like that it appears to be a stove.

Khthon · Jun 2010

I like the design but imo it needs less team color and more wrought iron.

Pedro Amorim · Jun 2010

ahah
the sausage at the end is awe4some

Slug Advisor · Jun 2010

The design's nice, but I'm not so sure about the pallete you've chosen there.

Gilboron · Jun 2010

Jiggle bones make everything awesome

I also like the sausage. Maybe right clicking could heal people with a delicious barbecued wiener.

Skeep · Jun 2010

Got a bit more done, got a model for the waffle axe done, need to work on the binding on it. Its currently got a few weird angles on it and the texture is a bit crap.

I've made some changes to the concept for the flame thrower. Think I'm going to have a few late nights this week

. Don't think I'm going to have time to get all the items in the engine, the source importing process is a nightmare!!!

eXistance · Jun 2010

Lookin good!

Khthon · Jun 2010

Looks nice, not sure the blood on the butcher knife looks TF2 styled enough.

Burkans · Jun 2010

It would be nice if this hat was a little bit burned in a corner, or in a spot from the down side.

And maybe you shoud add this small flames to the nosel of your flamethrower to develop this oven theme. Sry for mistakes
