TF2 - Polypack - Campin Carl

Campin Carl

I'm no expert at modeling, but I do like to animate (even if that isn't much better than my modeling). The contest says I need to have a thread showing off my what I'm doing, so here it is . I've chosen the Spy as my character as that is a class I enjoy playing, although I tend to play more of a cowboy than a spy.
My theme is "Effective Assassination"
No wasting time sneaking in, here's it's all guns blazing and rock'n'roll!

Item #1

Still haven't quite decided on the name here, but I do have some suggestions:
The Obrez (The gun is based of the Obrez)
The Hidell (Aleck J. Hidell was Lee H Oswald's alias)
Kennedy's Painkiller
Fitzgeralds End (The F in JFK is for Fitzgerald)
The Carcano (gun used to kill JFK)
Kennedy's Headache


Item #2

The Mine / BOOM Edison
A handy tool for taking out strategic points.

Item #3

The Chefs Choice / Henry's Last Whisper
A classic among weaponry used in homely improvised effective assassinations of familymembers.

what item is that mine going to replace?

these items have to replace exsisting items functions not create new ones

Campin Carl

The mine is going on the Sapper for now.

Campin Carl

Updated the Mine concept now. Replaced the random google picture with something by myself.

I've made the cartridge for the gun now. It's modelled after the Warren comissions picture of the cartridge Oswald had used (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Ce141.gif)

I'm looking forward to see where you're going with this, especially if you're good at animations and will add three new ones. It'll change the experience of playing the spy and will definitely vary from the normal style! Although be extremely cautious, any attempt to create a new concept could completely ruin your chance of seeing these items ingame. Especially the mine, be careful, but go ahead, you could always just make it a simple reskin of the sapper if it gets too messy (but valve should really consider making it a new item, cause it would be really awesome, either as a time-based bomb to place on buildings, or as an anti-personnel land mine!)
Keep working! :thumbup:

Campin Carl

Thanks, and about the Mine, that what I thought too. And they did say every set that gets done here is "automatically" submitted to the contribute site.

Are you the Camping Carl from F7?

Campin Carl

No. I never alter the name "Campin Carl"
So it's always Campin Carl, never Campin_Carl, CampinCarl, Campin' Carl or CamperCarl.

I think there was a campin carl at SPUF.

Also, I suppose this is the inspiration?

I use a different name on SPUF, but I'm not saying it because I make posts of much lesser quality when there.
Yes, that is the inspiration for the now named Carcano (still subject to change), but then I eveolved it into an assaisn theme. So now I'm going to make it look more like a Carcano than a Obrez because of the whole "effective assassination" theme.

I also haven't made much progress today, been baking a cake instead of modeling.

RogueLeader

I seen them on DA, remember me, Pokeman122 on DA?

Campin Carl

Yeah, I remember you

Campin Carl

There it is.

Did some more touching up, especially the grip so it fits the way Spy holds it in 3rd person:
