TF2 - Polypack - Locutus.

Okay so I'm not the best modeller out there. But today I downloaded 3ds Max and then I made a box. That made me confident, so I figure I'm gonna go ahead and start up a contest entry.

I will be working on the Engineer.

More information to come.


Update: I decided against doing 3 levels of the dispenser. I plan on doing a single level dispenser solution instead.

Got some sketches, gonna scan them and add them further down the page.

Good luck to you, but keep in mind that the Dispenser is going to be tough as a first model since you might need to do animations for the transformations.

If you need help figuring out anything, I'm sure some of the people here will be happy to give you tips.

Okay, the theme for my items is: Barbecue

Since the Engineer is from Texas, this is the perfect fit.

The first item I'll be working on is a Grill replacement for the Dispenser. Here's some art I drew up.



EDIT: Lol, I added the side-rack on the side-view, but not on the other. Oh well.

interested how you'll get this to transform.

Also.. lose the watermark, no one is going to steal your art on this forum.

An upright grill that as it upgrades gets more cooking space and gets grilling accessories.

I don't have to get it to transform. I'll let Valve figure that out.

And I'll watermark what I want. :O

Thinking more of a single level grill that can be charged up to increase output using the second item I'm creating...

The spatula! Art coming soon?

EDIT: Introducing, The Spatula AKA "Le Flipper de Burger"

And finally item number 3, the checkered napkin.



I would have drawn up some art first, but this seems easier.

This item will be a hat, and will tuck into the Engineer's shirt, like a bib of sorts. Because everyone knows, us southern boys make a mess when we eat barbecue.

More concept art for grill.

You may not have to get it to transform however you should think on how it would animate while modelling it! Modelling in regard to animation is very important.
You can't just expect valve to magically shit an animation from a model that wasnt tought out for an animation!


btw I really like the idea

Psyke

yep let valve sort it out when it's cho-hahah sorry couldn't finish that sentance

valve isn't going to do jack-shit.
you need to do it all

Sucks about the watermark dirtying up your pic.

Fun idea.

Locutus.

A bit of progress. It's actually looking pretty good seeing as this is the first thing I've ever made. :P



And here's some spatula action.
