Spin faster! A leek with custom animations.
A leek skin for the TF2 Wacky melle contest S0me kitten did almost everything Miss3 Bonboniere (http://bonboniere.miss3.cz/) made the model This skin is full of awesome, cell shading, Custom anims, and a VERY high poly model.
Installation is in the 'readme' file.
Thanks to Deadman22 for additional screen-shots and the video^.
Very nice skin and model I love anime skins cause I feel they bring out the cartoonish side of TF2, so as for fitting in the game and being an outstanding model I give you a 10/10. The animation pretty flawless and those little sprites are a nice touch as well but the animation acted a little wonky at times so a 8 on the animation and 10 on the sprites. Also in extension for people who don't want the swirls use this file path tf\materials\models\weapons\kitten\ and delete the swirl.vtf and .vtm files. Don't delete the Leek files or else you'll have a leek shaped baseball bat, which would be funny but odd, I doubt there are any farms that grow metal leeks.
whats with his hand =D
Pros: Bleach Oriheme Leekspin High poly to the max. Smooth ass anims Cons: That shit on the screen. Improvements: Remove that bullshit.
Animation: The animation, although wacky and true to Orohime's spinning hand with the leek (I saw that episode yesterday and realized where you got this idea), is not so good. I would have been fine with whole spinning thing if you didn't see the inside of the arm when it did so. That part alone just ruins this for me. If you would just move the arm back, this would be perfect. However since the inside of the arms are revealed, I can't really give this part a good rating, sorry. Please fix and update the skin. Then I would have given this part a better rating.
---5/10--- Model: The model is great, and those sprites are awesome I would actually wish if you would teach me how to put sprites in the v-model. Anyways the leek model is fine. The skin is not fine. I realize that TF2 is a cartoon-styled game. This doesn't mean go into MS paint and color the UV map in with solid green and beige. You could have added some shading or blended the green so it gradually turned into white. You could have added the lines to the "leaves" so the leek could actually have plant-like detail without losing the cartoon style. An MS Paint job doesn't do it justice. Still great model and sprites.
---9/10--- Sound: Sound is probably not so necessary, but the "bonk" noise adds to the comedic and wacky value of the skin. Not too bad, I would have preferred a simple "thud" noise but this is fine as well.
---9/10--- Wackiness: Overall, this is very original (all from a several-seconds-long scene of Bleach) and the model, sounds, and sprites are all wacky and all high-quality. However, the animations and texture detract significantly but only require a bit of maintenance and tweaking to be made perfect. Very wacky, maybe a bit too wacky. Good luck in the contest.
---9.5/10---
Overall: 8.1/10
Everybody does a bat replacement. if you would have done something different, I would have given you a ten. That is still awesome work though
Pros: Good Idea, Nice Sprites Cons: Model isn't THAT great, especially for high poly. Also, High poly models aren't good for sloer computers. Animations... You can see inside his arm, and its too stiff. Texture is just horrible
Well, the animation, as said, is not good. It's stiff, and you can see inside the rig, even at the lowest FOV. Particles obscure the gameplay, as well as the spinning. The equip animation has a cut about where the sound plays.
Models don't automaticly look good if they are high poly. That's NOT something you brag about when talking about in-game models. Reduce the polycount so people with not-that-good computer can use the skin as well. And the cel-chading doesn't fit. And you didn't even make the model yourself.
The texture is just bad. There is absolutely no detail to it.
The sound is alright, still tad repetive, and gets cut off at some instances. Works.
I guess it's wacky.
Oh, and the render is just... stop trying.
WTF is wrong with his arm??
The anims are fairly low quality, you can see the inside of the rig model.
The model is good, but injuring this is the fact that it's too high poly, and may not be good for those with lower-end pc's.
The swirl is a nice touch for being wacky, yet obstructs the gameplay a bit.
The texture is very poor: it looks like you could've made it in paint honestly.
Wackiness is amazing, super original, but in some ways, it just got out of hand.
That doesn't exactly look like a leek...
