    I fucking love the TF2 pictures you've been doing. The "Garrote Mode" added the perfect subtle touch :buddy:

    And I suppose they should be modern-day soldiers colored brown all over in order to look good, correct?

    Refer me to the part of his post where he says anything that even vaguely implies that, he probably means they lack detail which you would expect this close up.

    Awesome shot, great angle and lighting, and the editing owns. I hate you for having working lamps, though.

    Posing is spot-on, I love the garrote wire/watch effects, the overall edit is good but I think the smoke is really off. Scenebuild is really good as well.

    Made it a bit difficult to pose with.

    Rating dumb because you think the models suck(they are really good) makes you incredibly stupid considering the fact that valve made them. You might not know the game it self, but you make yourself look like an idiot by rating yourself aggre, which is... Um, I would respectfully recomment you to leave the forum before you receive death threats from other facepunchers. On the picture now I think you proved again your editing skills, vman. Nice work.

    Great posing and camera angle. Love the lighting. The cartoony smoke is superb, especially the way it is affected by the light. You did a lovely job with the wire. The text on the watch is such a nice touch.

    Well done as usual.

    Rate me agree if you also turned your head to read "Garrote Mode"

    Why does this sound like a comment I'd read on a Youtube video?
    It probably is... I've been hangin' around youtube a little too much, think it's starting to poison my mind.

    No, really, if a model looks a little wierd in your eyes, or you dont prefer, them, do you have to complain all the fucking time about them? will you please just kindly shut your fucking mouth.

    ITS OKAY TO TELL EVERYONE TO IGNORE SOMEONES PERFECTLY VALID POINTS BECAUSE I DONT AGREE WITH THEM AND NEVER HAVE

    The TF2 models look fine in TF2, but up close they do lack detail in important areas and aside from extensive editing, there's not much that can be done.

    TF2, being a shooter, has no use for hands other than to hold weapons. Posing, on the other hand, requires good, detailed hands for expression. I could go on, but I won't. Cliffnotes: he brings up a valid point, he has always brought up valid points (if you do not see why the successive CoD games have terribly-proportioned, inaccurate models you are deluding yourself), and you not being able to see that for whatever reason is hardly call for you to try and rabble-raise against him in this fucking EXCELLENT thread.

    You are making me very fucking angry.

    Its just that i've seen alot of his post's, before when he was john cage, and now, and he always complains about models, all the god damn time, non stop, i mean sure, the CoD models look deformed, but you dont have to make all of your posts devoted to the damn things.

    Edited:

    I can agree about the detail, sure, but still, they dont look like absolute crap.

    They seem to work okay for me, however, once I've placed the third lamp, any others after that can sometimes become kinda screwy. Has been like that ages for me.

    yea, it's usually the third or fourth lamp.
