[poopipe]

im going to go out a limb and say suspenders would be impractical

suspenders over a skintight rubber suit however....

[strict9]

hahaha yeah your right about impractical.....so is carrying a big bottle of gas on a stick ;)
but skin tight works for me.......will have a think about any clothing..but i do know rubber boots come to mind.......maybe goingwayyyyy up high....what to do what to do.
boobs are inplace so halve the battle is won hehe

[poopipe]

two-thirds actually

[Joseph Pomeisl]

hmm...

[Warlock 279]

You could always just go from the belt down with the suspenders and use them to hold her boots up. Nice start, keep it up.

[xxxcubanxxx]

nice start dude, gotta love the nipples :shout:. hope to see more soon.

[strict9]

mr. pipe= boots long enough ;) (allthough i might go higher)
joseph= i guess i read that as a positive?
warlock= i'm thinking straps everywhere
cuban= we love those pointy bits.....never has so many responses in a row hahaha
anyway update:

[Edragon]

She sure is cold lol :haha:. Some thing about the boots just seems like they are uncomfortable and would hinder her in battle.

However, I love the mask and overall style. two thumbs up.:wave:

[mel_danes]

I believe a Freaking Sweet!!!, is in order.

Exclude the skulls, or not, maybe 50's flames instead. This jacket ROCKS.

Please continue sir. You are on the correct path.
This thread is Fetish Approved.

[strict9]

before people start sticking this thread full of porn (don't please).....i do like the references though Mel_danes.....i think i'm going to mix the 2 jackets up.....love those streps over the boobs, but i want to keep the pointy bits in tight rubber.....
the pants low cut but g-string sticking out hahaha.

endragon she won't be cold...she will set something on fire...battle....uuuhhh try and get close...WWWHHHOOOSEEE toast

[strict9]

sorry for the double post but i needed to do the outfit a bit more.
it's open for suggestions hehehe
143209

[poopipe]

I'm saying go with the second boots in mels post. The current ones are too high to allow for full suspender exposal. Also I'm not sure tapering the sole out is working

everything mel posted is correct


and


it's brillant :D

[strict9]

will correct the soles..not sure if i want to go with heals...but will do a test run.....i think suspenders may link to the garter bits...don't know yet...just thinkering along with out a game plan.

[strict9]

not textured yet...just a color run to see if it's staying close to the original.
but when i looked at the reference...i forgot a few items WHERE THE HELL am i going to fit the grenades on the chest...DOH
143274

[Joseph Pomeisl]

it's looking good. only thing is that the hot pants aren't really working. Probably a pair of bikini type bottoms would do... Also, her heel is unsupported as of now; she needs more platform or a stiletto or whatnot. Keep it up, fella.

[poopipe]

what about tiny white cotton panties and a short, pleated, plaid skirt?

just a thought like :D

[strict9]

Joe......the boots ...had in mind those victoria beckam shoes with no heels....but i adjusted the boots a little bit more anyway ;)
poo: tried to do the plaid skirt...but the body is a bit to styliced with very long hips...made the skirt look a bit funny....(was even planning to put your avatar on her white nickers)....i went for the less fabric option...so now i have more straps in the end.

probably will do the weapon next (to many poly on the one i've got now)

found some space for grenades though yay
enjoy:

[Agent-X]

Not bad, I think the gloves could be slimmed down some. I think the heels could use some work still. If possible I honestly would like to see another row of horizontal edges in her but and round it out. For my taste looks too blocky. I like my rfemal butts to be nice and round. :D

[SR_6274]

I love the outfit so far. I do agree with X that the gloves look a little big, especially in contrast with her upper arms. I would also look at her ****** area (not like that :) ), it looks like there is something weird going on there with some edges.

[strict9]

got sidetracked abit...but i'm back on it.
the gloves i'm keeping because that and the mask and weapon are the only thing as the male version...anyway ones it's painted i'll make the call.........as for the ****** are....hahah i'll fix that when it comes out weird with normals and everything...i'm sure i can throw a few loops in with some to spare.
so....heres the weapon...and now the less fun part.....unwrapping will be next..aiiiii.

[G-khan]

I really liked this Model...

I think, it will look great after the texturing...

[Joseph Pomeisl]

depending where you're at with the budget you could save abit more on the gun: the knuckle protector? and trigger could be just planar, and the loops used to make the holes in the nozzle and bottom of tank could be welded off.
Have fun unwrapping:D

[xxxcubanxxx]

the flame-thrower is looking good so far, keep updating. :wave:

[strict9]

joseph: no idea what you said...but remind me to quiz you sometime when i've got to many polies....
when you mean weld..as in a real live welding things up?..or is this a 3d term?.
the holes in the nossle i was hoping to pull that of with alpha?
g-khan: thanks
cuban: i tried to stay close to the original..hope i pulled it of..(lets wait and see how i destroy it with my texturing skills (should read non-skill)
143832

[Joseph Pomeisl]

yeah, I'll put a little picture up later. But if you're going to do alpha then it's irrelevant...
oh, and she's missing some parts:D

I showed it this way because I don't know if Blender has welding or a similar function - I would think that it should...look for something like weld verts or target weld.

http://img210.imageshack.us/img210/7678/weldtut.jpg

[strict9]

i c...yeah blender has weld i think...the one i'm sure of is highlight that part of the loop and say delete loop...it will find the closest point to connect to...or it will refuse if it doesn't know what to do......i can always do it manuel.
the main reason i haven't stuck in to many triangles because is still struggle with normal maps..so i try to keep straight loops
when i have to many i will for sure weld them (after normals)....the alphas i was talking about was for the big nossle straight on the front of the gas tank it's got many holes in the original...i'm to lazy to cut those holes for starters ;)
it has all been flattend now so normals is next on the agenda.....forgot to say about last picture....the polylines visible are a texture map (uv layout)
so the fun can begin again.

i seem to have ups and downs....love modeling....hate unwrapping...love sculpting.....(baking so so)like painting....boring rigging.....finished model..NEXT please hahahaha

[Jibberwocky]

Pretty sweet, man. Personal taste thing here, but the hotpants looked way better. Something about the thong throws off the flow of the model for me. I would suggest a sort of low-rise pantie thing, but again, it's just a matter of preference. Thongs are so 80's though....

[strict9]

the thong might look different if i will stick some tatoos on her...dunno,
i do a bit of paint..than bake a few normals....than some paint to keep it fun.
so i baked and painted a few part and need to spend some time on the upperbody........soooooo heres a little update:
143995

[BiG ToE-3DT]

I think whats going on with the thong is that the booty is too flat. Another thing I see is how far the pelvic area(******) sticks out. Your 3/4 views have the ****** way out there. Don't think it should be out any further than the legs.

[strict9]

had a look at that big toe.... the pelvic is in the right spot....but the legs arn't.
centerpoint of gravity wasn't right...i think because she is standing on her toes.....but i fixed that.
so hope it looks better....made her booty stick out by moving the legs forward at the same time.
so onwards and paint some other things..enjoy the fix:
144037

[strict9]

is the model suppose to self illuminate?, using lights at the moment..if it does than i need to learn that quick snap :D
mean time still painting away:
144088

[BiG ToE-3DT]

no need to self illuminate. But, you can if you want to.

If your using Max, just pop your diffuse texture into the self illuminate slot. Done.

[Warlock 279]

Looking really good. Lots of details, I think you did a great job with all the straps and stuff. Only crit I've got, the straps on the back of the thong, could use some arc, they're a bit too straight across in my opinion.

For self illumination, its a up to you if you want to do it or not. I think it used to be that engines needed help with the lighting, but most current engines can manage all the lighting on their own. So self illum has become more of a style choice than anything, tho its still used in super low spec stuff like the DS etc. You're working from TF2 source material, and that is heavily stylized, so it might be worth investigating to get that look for your model too.

You're a Blender user right? To get self illum you can try what BigToe suggested and drop your color map into the "emit" channel, or you can just turn the emit value as a whole up for the mesh. Keep in mind, self illum relies on having some baked or painted lighting to look its best.

[strict9]

thank toe and warlock.
yes warlock i use blender
I had tried using my paint texture as emit....but at 0.01 it was so bright you couldn't see anything.
big toe mentioned using the diffuse map....so i need to learn and create one of them.....i need to figure that out some time. for now i think i will use lightpoints.....unless i have a massive amount of spare time before deadline after i called it finished.(still need to paint alot and a base to create)

allmost forgot, there a few more items that can use a bit more loops (straps holding up the boots have none either) but since it's all new to me i kinda wait to see what the end count of the triangles are.
at least i figured out how to count them (blender only counts faces.....x2 should be ballpark triangle..or triangulate the whole thing and than see what the score is.

[strict9]

more paint done....now i need to learn how to make the gas tank look a bit worn...tried illumination by the way ....and it seems to pop out a bit more..anyway here is another update.
144148

[mies]

even though i think the panties design is abit over the top, i also think ur model is very nice, and the textures look very good. i hope mine will be half so good as yours. everytime u manage to improve what u got. keep it up : ) cant wait till next update.

[newhere]

you should try to get this in the game when ur finished with it.

[strict9]

mies: thx for the kind words.....i'm just stumbling around and menage to get a few random results and go...oooww that looks better and than i keep it (always keep a back up of the paintwork hahahaha learned that the hard way ;)

newhere: uuhh i wouldn't even know where to begin......it's all kinda new to me. halve the time i don't even know what these guys in here are talking about:wall:
think i'm done painting.....rig and pose time.

[strict9]

bump, nuff said
144303

[Zlatovous]

Great pose and you've got the TF feeling there. I think her head is little too small compared to the body, maybe just some scaling will do the trick

Nice work :-)

[Joseph Pomeisl]

I'm guessing you have some tri's left and I think it would really look nice to have one of those handles that's above the main cylinder, like a chaingun or whatnot... Some highlights along the edges of the weapon might help, too. Another small thing is that the tank is rusty but not much else.
Anyway, nice work, mate. Keep it up:D
