RED animated blutsauger.

Author's Readme/Notes

First of all, prepare to be surprised as you unpack this file, the .vtf format is lossless, meaning every animated frame is uncompressed. While this archive is under one meg of data, the .vtf format stores each frame uncompressed at around one megabyte. The animated skin has about 60 frames, so you end up with a 65meg file. Bear in mind textures get loaded into memory, so it might increase your load time by a few seconds or so. I haven't really noticed any difference.

This is just something I thought up of doing one afternoon, after seeing modul3's skin, didn't take me too long to make. Originally I made them for personal use, but after a few people requested I put it up for grabs, I decided to upload it anyway.

The RED saughter has the pulse meter on one side, but since the texture is shared on another face, it will show up on other players on the other side as well.

All models show up in world view, since the skins are shared.

18/06/08 - Fixed a somewhat noticeable alpha layer mistake.

INSTALLATION : Just extract it to your \team fortress 2\tf directory, it should find it's way to the correct directory. If not, the two c_leechgun files should be in \team fortress 2\tf\materials\models\weapons\c_items.

Same as your other blutsauger (not a bad thing, I'm sure people wanted a matching red one) Maybe you could put them in a pack?

Pros: This one is slightly better than the Blu version. Once again animated.
Cons: The black background compared to the rest of the grey skin, makes it seem odd.
Improvements: Darken the skin, which is pretty simple.

So, i cant have both the red one for red team, and blue one for blue team?

Edit: now i get it. you uploaded them separately because of filesize limitations.

won't be using it, way to big for my comp. but great job on the anim anyway!

Cons:
I know creating animation is no cakewalk but the rest of your skin doesn't do it justice.


I actually have thought about this, but never saw any way of actually making the little screen bit look good without using normal maps. The sauger doesn't have any at all, and I'm thinking trying to draw the skin so that it looks good from the first person would make it look like crap from other angles.

Anyway, I will update it if I find a way to make it look nicer, thanks for the feedback.

(On an unrelated note: I've no idea why the video isn't displaying a preview pic properly.)


That sucks, would you mind if I took at it and see if we can improve this? Just seems interesting to me. Also, have you tried to make the base and the surrounding area of the animated part black? Think it might look cooler and easier to give the skin some originality.

Pros:
Really nice work on the animation! This is a nice treat for TF fans!

Cons:

Improvements:
Make a v2 with more work on the skin. It shouldn't take too long to make the overall skin better.

Notes:
This is great and the animation was done very well, nice work and thanks!
