OLD While i had some Spytech© ideas for a few months, i don't think i can justify a whole 3 items for one good idea.

Instead i will make either:

1: Neo-Dada Pyro
or
2: Soviet Nonconformist Heavy

I think those fit.

Don't think i'll have anything posted for awhile.. prefer pen sketching ideas.

tso

mmkay

pyro it is.

here's weapon descriptions. apparently my modeling is rusty.. hat's started tho

Hat! - Aviator's Cap; decorated with mics, cameras, and mirrors

Primary.Weapon! - Flamethrower; flame comes out trombone bell. Pipes/instruments adorn the flamethrower. Ancillary instruments make noise when firing; primarily frenchhorn.

Melee! - Burnt, then Wet, Newspaper; dowses fire; stunball effect(?) second thought stun would be shenanigans in melee.. whatever

Abilities don't really matter

This is such a bizarre concept. I'm really looking forward to seeing how you pull it all together.

tso

with merryweather as reference.. hat coming along okay, just need to cut tris >: ) (have far too many if i wanna add my cams)

Ikimono

All I can say is "Ehhh?" Which is neither good nor bad, but i'm at a distance interested.

tso

that's all i ask

Psyke

i think the hat is quite the nice touch
will it be team coloured?

ScudzAlmighty

the hat looks nice so far, i don't understand why the pyro would want a weapon that puts fires out though. or how the three fit together in anyway whatsoever

christermime

The silhouette on the hat on the left is nice and distinct. I think you could exaggerate the straps or goggles on the one on the left to push the form (maybe make the strap dangling on one side, undone?). Cool stuff so far.

tso

i do not think it will be teamcoloured; was thinking something like this on the cap



the targety bit, not the top bit.

also think i scrapped the camera hat idea.. a rear-view mirror might work tho

Khthon

A rear view mirror hat would be funny! Someone is submitting a Soldier aviation theme including hat, so keep that in mind too.

I know it's not really in your power to affect this... but if the trombone flamethrower's taunt was the Pyro playing the fail trombone on his flamethrower, that would be so amazing I would cry.

Fail Trombone

Keep up your work on it. Right now I can't get much, your model seems fine early stages but fine, smooth it out a bit, jiggle-bone the flaps and slap on a texture and you should be good with it.

tso

fail trombone is pretty awesome sound.

can animate (i use cinema4d) i shall figure out custom taunt animation somehow! *thumbsup*

don't know how to add jigglebones. will find.


Also! beginnings of instrument.. fueled by my 3am internet outage..



i fell asleep quickly you see..

pyro X biggles.

I'm absolutely loving the trombone flamethrower... The aviator hat looks great, but there's already someone doing a very similar idea with Soldier. I think you should go with a Pyro-Music theme, it has a lot of potential!

Imagine it, the man who cannot communicate through words, forced to do so through music... and fire. :-)

Hey, why not make a guitar as an axe replacement? That way, when Pyro does his axe taunt, he'll actually be playing something.

Oh man, I love this idea. Imagine if the hat was a harmonica holder, placing the harmonica right in front of the mouthpiece of his gas mask?

Why not have a marching band hat for the pryo?

Actually, I've already made a Marching band hat for the medic... I thought it made sense, because whenever there's a medic around, it becomes a miniature parade.

EvilShadow777

And people have made Marching band helmets for the Soldier since he has a bugle and all. Hell, all of them could be in a marching band lol.

tso

harmonica holder sounds good. basically what i was gonna do with the rear view mirror but with.. harmonica..

it looks like the boom mic is attached to that guy's head hmm...

chickenman

make it jazz themed



and add a jazz hat like this ^^^

I think he's in the studio, and it's hanging down from the ceiling XD

tso

my way's more fun ^_^

MattQ86

Marching band hat for the pyro eh?

tso

the cap is done-ish for now.. working on texture/rear view mirror.

making this post to claim the name "Rear Window" haha

tso

gotta say.. learning how to import this jank is confusing for the first time. figured out everything except why my viewmodel is off the left side of the screen tho. shoots left of player. so odd. no hands

*back to works*

Zipfinator

Looking nice. I think the flame that ignites the fire though is a particle effect so you don't need to model it out. I'm not positive though. You should decompile the stock flamethrower and check.

Progg

The flame is a model.
