TF2 - Polypack - Swizzle (2)
polycounter lvl 16
Since I'm pretty much finished with the Medic pack I made and there are still a few weeks until this contest is over, I've decided to start on a pack for a completely different class. Thus:
I don't yet have any concepts, but I decided that after nearly screwing myself because I couldn't come up with good designs at certain stages of the other pack, I'm going to be using more references this time around.
Here's a sheet with a few references I've picked up. I have a ton more where these came from, but they should give you an idea of what I want to make.
The plan at the moment is to have a modified M79 grenade launcher for the primary, a potato masher for the melee (probably also modified) and a helmet similar to the ones bomb disposal guys wear. I'll get some concepts and stuff up ASAP. Meanwhile, it's getting late and I'm going to sleep.
BAM! Done. Well, pretty much done. I have a little cleanup to do in some areas, but I'm basically finished.

helmet=YES
potatomasher=HELL YE...wait what?
do you mean those hand grenades, if so I would like to restate what I have said, many times over many forums, the the one melee weapon the demoman needs is...
A BOMB ON A STICK!!!
+ 500 damage on hit
- 95% damage to self
@Swizzle
im just gonna point out that there is already similiar theme for demo...with exactly the same grenade laucher...if i find topic ill post it here...just sayin'
Let the best modeler win
I actually was too, and now nex is saying there is one, and I'm all :poly122:
Hotdogbunker:
The Hurt Locker was actually what made me think about doing it. I'm probably not going to do a straight bomb suit helmet, though, but I'll certainly use aspects of the design.
I'm not going to worry much about the gameplay application of the grenade. I'll probably make an intact and a blown-up version to use kind of like the broken bottle, but at this point I'm just not giving it any thought.
jgoodroad:
Potato mashers basically are bombs on a stick, so, uh, wish granted.
Zipfinator:
Thanks!
Zipfinator:
I'm thinking a big ol' crack in the goggles would work well.
ShadowBrain:
Adam said multiple entries were just fine.
nex:
I'm not super worried about there being a similar entry. I'm going to make my stuff, submit it, and let Valve decide.
Psyke:
Hopefully!
Simski:
It'll be a battle for the ages! Two men enter! Both submit stuff! Valve picks neither and makes them ashamed! ...Wait, hang on. :poly142:
Pogo:
Thank you!
Right. I threw together some quick concepts for the grenade launcher. Thoughts?
all the others just dont seem right.
Mostly 2 because of the silhouette. It is clearly different and not too crazy.
Just like with the medic stuff, I'm trying to make it as easy as possible to swap these out with the Valve weapons. I don't think custom animations are really going to be needed. If they are, though, we'll see what happens.
Man, do you guys actually like 2 that well? I kind of dislike it. Actually, I dislike it more than just a little. Eh, whatever.
Here are some more concepts. I've mashed up some of the ones from that previous sheet and come up with a couple more.
As for the new ones the on i like the most is #5
*grabs popcorn and generic soft drink*
On that note I vote for 6, but with the barrel ends like 5. ...because 6 is the most different. All the others resemble the original Grenade Launcher too closely.
Nice use of a first post, if I don't say so myself.
to quote Will Turner "Just one more time..."
I like #4, and I have a sword now so you have to do what I say
