TF2 Polypack - Bl4ckie

Bl4ckie

Hello I am going to be working on replacing some of the sniper's weapons, and possibly make a hat of some concoction.

Here are some concepts I made for replacing the huntsman.





I tried to include some functionality into the design. The arm would rotate increasing tension in the string, almost like a self-arming mechanism. Without mentioning gameplay changes, collateral headshots would be awsome! :poly124:

Will be finalizing this before progressing with my ideas for a razorback and hat replacement.

Update-

Bl4ckie

Rough model to check proportions

Any thoughts, ideas and comments are welcome :poly121:

hm .. can u show another view of the Model?

But ... do u think this fits in the Time period of TF2 in the 50's?

same here. I don't think the overly detailed-angular design will fit.

Aesthetically I will be aiming for a final design that matches the first concept. I think the rivets and bulky manufactured look will work well, and follows the theme of other weapons in the game built by Mann Co. Thanks for your comment Cluster

Quick screen grab what I've been working on today. Re-designing the arrow will be interesting, got some ideas so will post some silhouettes up tomorrow. Need to get moving! :poly124:

I like the design and silhouette so far. Keeping the texturing in-tune with the current TF2 textures could definitely make it fit in with the universe better, if that's still a concern. Maybe even simplifying/exaggerating some of the shapes.

I'm looking to find some shapes to exaggerate, it wasn't something I really considered when I did the concept. The design is defiantly lacking in that area. I kinda like the idea of large cogs but haven't experimented with it yet



Slow progress here still lots to figure out, tricount is currently 2,286.

I've decided on a convict pack for the sniper, which will include a carbine pistol, the bow, and another item either misc or hat.

Go study Compound Bows and come back. It looks like you're trying to draw inspiration from them, but the parts look slapped-on, steampunky and nonfunctional. Try to emulate real-life weapons.

That's pretty much the look I'm going for at the moment. Keep in mind this is a work in progress thread.

So, is your theme going to be a Steampunk Sniper? Because that's what I'm getting from this Bow so far.

He said convict, but I gotta be honest, I love me some steam punk. If you wanted to go that route, Bl4ckie, you'd have my wholehearted support.

This could be pretty darn awesome. I'm not sure why there's so many negative comments.
