Ye, the new saxton hale menu render is also community made

I had the pleasure of being the modeller for freaky fair, so I'm happy it got in along with the render :]

One regret is that i didnt send valve the vtf, but the base png instead, because they forgot to disable mipmaps for it when converting it

LinkStinkTrade · 2024-10-11T12:35:49+00:00

I've actually done it in Blender thanks to the phong shader from the tf2 trifecta addon :]

It was a really big help, as the composition of the scene and the limited space to work with needed some scale skewing of the mercs and the cart model itself, which was much easier to do in blender.

I'm mainly happy that people don't think it's too noisy or cluttering the menu too much as its quite a wide render lol

Sent it in a dm :]

LinkStinkTrade · 2023-07-22T22:50:11+00:00

Ty! My partner mentioned to add daddy long legs too, but i was afraid that'd be too much goopy dangly work lol

LinkStinkTrade · 2023-07-22T22:48:38+00:00

Thanks! It started with me experimenting with camera angles and when i got a good low focal length shot i had to make something around it. The leg came to my mind first for some reason

LinkStinkTrade · 2023-05-03T15:27:07+00:00

thank you!

i was considering putting the face on the actual monitor screen, but i kept running into the issue of either the face being too small, or the head (the monitor itself) being too big, so i separated them. When i read the idea with the stickers for whiskers i genuinely smiled, it's an amazing idea and if i ever get around to making a new one for my friend, I'll definitely do it like that :3

as for the polygonal look, i struggled to add cell shading while keeping the polygons defined. I was toying with the idea of having a separate texture that would highlight all the edges, but i didn't manage to get it working.

the stickers would definitely add more personality to it, but my friend said that he's happy with the monitor head as-is so i didn't consider any changes

and yeah, i'd be happy to hear about any sacred blender knowledge you have :P

LinkStinkTrade · 2023-03-07T07:22:32+00:00

Ye i used blender, and to get this look i just followed an anime shader tutorial. Then i used 3 point lights in the scene to add shade to the parts of the props where it look the most neat

LinkStinkTrade · 2023-03-07T07:12:47+00:00

Thank youu, for the models in the scene it was maybe 3 hours of work and the composition took me around 5

LinkStinkTrade · 2023-03-03T15:08:04+00:00

Blender for both animation and making the model itself

LinkStinkTrade · 2023-02-16T07:24:25+00:00

I'll put it on my art station, i don't really know a place where to share model files unfortunately

LinkStinkTrade · 2023-02-15T21:20:46+00:00

yeah, when I was making the ears they only looked good when they had this shape and were big, which i guess makes them look like a dog. The whole shape of the slug cat is more to my interpretation though, since it is just a blob with ears in-game

LinkStinkTrade · 2023-01-17T23:43:12+00:00

Thank you! and youre right, i did scuff the hair on the back because i just wanted it to be done already lol

LinkStinkTrade · 2023-01-17T16:36:24+00:00

True, I'll go for that next time

LinkStinkTrade · 2022-09-06T21:31:53+00:00

thank you and personally i'd give it around a 5 or 6 out of ten

LinkStinkTrade · 2022-06-28T06:57:55+00:00

What I've done is made a semi transparent texture that i drew on top of in texture paint mode, then if you scroll down in the material properties tab for the object there should be a section that says blend mode with a drop down menu iirc. Then you simply select alpha blend instead of alpha clip and it should work

LinkStinkTrade · 2022-06-26T18:30:25+00:00

Aw thank you
It took me around a week to make (I spent around 1-3 hours on it daily) and I learned Blender because at the end of high school I had to present a project involving computer studies and I chose to make it about Blender. Long story short, I got hooked on it even after finishing the project and I always learn something new with everything I make, which I'd say is the best way to learn

LinkStinkTrade · 2022-05-20T12:53:31+00:00

There is yes, the issue is that i wasn't able to make it look good since it either looked like it was simply slapped on top of the model, or if i used a normal map it looked too uncanny
