TF2 - Post polypack for the hell of it - Ruskeydoo and anyone else who fancies it :)

Ruskeydoo

So there's this big old forum here not really being used for much... So I figured why not repeat the competition process but this time with... NO REWARD WHATSOEVER! Also no deadline so it will take ten times as long. Not to mention the fact that I have a life I would like to live.

The concept for this one is the Medic as a Vampire Hunter. Items off the top of my head:

Wide brimmed hat
Reskin of medic with his coat in black leather
Mallet and Stake for close combat.
Stake launcher replacing needle gun
Medigun reskin
Vampire hunting back pack

I figure with the no deadline thing I might start work in maybe a week or two

Psyke

good luck with that

Are you serious? If yes, then you're a disgrace to all of the hardworking contestants that participated in the contest, if not, you're just a fool. If you want to model, show your progress and get feedback, go to pimping and previews.

I don't understand the logic in this post.

What's so disgraceful and foolish about continuing making packs for entertainment?

Woah! Whats with all the hostility? I took part in the contest and put in a lot of work... Am I being a disgrace to myself? If so please explain why.

I enjoyed the format and don't see why we shouldn't continue this method of making on this forum. If a mod would like me to not do so then I'm happy to comply.

Sheesh. I might just not bother posting anything on these boards if I'm going to get people being just plain mean

I think Fragus missunderstood the post.

I don't think many other people would join in with you since it's not official, but you should definitely give it a shot and record your progress in the Pimping and Previews section if you end up making another set.

Hehe, I already started on mine a while ago:

I'm working on a force-a-nature replacement at the moment, with the same pencil theme going on.
I'm having a bit of trouble getting the weights thing to work though, so the animations don't work at all

Good luck with that being put in game.

The black leather would probably be better in brown leather to not bring up Nazi comparisons if you go that route. And yeah, I think Fragus was confused or something.

In hindsight it was a moment of naivity and enthusiasm and probably a terrible idea. Though it has reminded me why I generally don't do web forums. An impersonal form of communication means that even nice people end up being rather harsh.

Not necessarily. Mostly only 14 year old kids act completely idiotic on the internet because they know it's anonymous. I've barely seen any of that at Polycount over the last 2 years I've been here. Most of the times that people are being harsh here is tough love to try help the artist progress. Rarely is it like Fragus' post.

Skamberin

Seems mostly new folk are being harsh, those who came with the TF 2 competition wave. Good luck with the modeling anyway man.

And Fragus, chill, seriously.
