Post #1
This Project's goal is to create higher quality, consistent and generally improved textures for Team Fortress 2.
It's a work in progress so if you notice anything you think we could improve (as that is the purpose of this project) please tell us.
We also appreciate other ideas, suggestions, questions and general feedback.
Right now we are focusing on the player textures.
Things we are doing with the players include:
• Completely recreating each texture. Without errors. and in higher quality.
• Tinted AO's to match the soft shadows of the player lightwarp.
• Larger texture size for soldier, spy, sniper and demo (as their default is smaller then the other classes').
• Consistent colors team-wise based on the paint colors in order to match as well as possible. For example "Team Spirit" will by default be part of every class (except spy's) palette.
• Consistent textures between classes on both teams. Everything that isn't team colored will look the same.
• Paint strokes and edgehighlights on gear, accessories and solid objects.
• Customize the pack to your own preferences with optional colors, detail, class emblems, compression/optimization etc. (Final release only)
Other textures:
We have slowly begun to work on buildings, weapons, cosmetic items, decals, particles etc. as well.
We are doing similar improvements to them as to the playes, based on consistency and quality.
More info on this later.
Models:
Despite the name there will be a few models in this projects, some just to add team colors, others to fix errors and beta stuff.

Cool beans.
-
so... no previews? what's the point?
-
Which textures?
-
Hopefully we actually get some content in here before the admins come by with POST THREAD WITH ACTUAL CONTENT
-
I think it's player textures and other misc. ones.
-
p sure that all their effort went into that logo
-
Threads need content :(
-
Fool, the banner is the content.
-
took me all night :D
it's a work in progress, we'll post progress in the morning (we're both Europeans)
a few screenshots I have will have to do for now, feel free to ask questions
-
Is it bad I noticed nothing different in those examples?
-
Can't wait for this
-
Oh YES. Like the Demoman: The dynamite, the round bomb, and the sticky bomb
-
no, that means the changes won't bother you :D
and i'll upload the comparison
no need to, NassimO's HD textures are already released (link in OP)
-
Nice Header Blaholtzen. Any ETA for the pack? a month or 2?
-
Thanks! No idea... We'll try to release as soon as we're done with something. We'll probably be updating a lot now in the beginning
When we're done with the players we'll move on to hats and probably lots of other stuff like weapons and props
-
Is he going to do the other classes or were those the only ones he saw fit to be fixed?
-
well then and it's a pretty cool logo so i expect my tf2 to turn into a game with graphics good enough for 2011
-
PLEASE make a higher quality spy tie. i was extremely disappointed when looking at the spy in model viewer. the tie is so ugly!
-
Feel free to add this to the OP: http://filesmelt.com/dl/sexycane.zip
-
I assume i'll credit you?
-
Yes, sir.
-
Bro, you're awesome for doing this.
-
I've always hated the Medic's baby blue coat, so this is great. I look forward to seeing the other classes.
-
i like
need those medics
-

You can use these image links instead for the medic pictures. I liked your Medic fixes, so I took some time to take these screenshots in Source SDK so others can see the differences between the two versions. I had my graphics card force the highest graphical settings on the Source SDK for the best quality picture. (24x Sampling Edge-Detect AA, Morphological Filtering, 16x Anisotropic Filtering, etc.)

Also, something I noticed while looking at the pictures is that in the fixed version, you can see how the light warps differently on the dispenser colored part of the Medic's backpack. It would seem to me that the Red Team Medic has a larger reflection on the dispenser thing than the Blue Team Medic. Is it an inconsistency, or is it that the light reflection seemingly affects the Red Team Medic more just because of the color of the backpack?
Is this something that can be fixed in the .VMT file? If it can, you should make sure both teams have the same .VMT files for the most consistency.
-
Yes! I always wanted some good HD textures that FIT. Especially because of the ugly blurry logos.
-
I am glad to see that this topic is a success.
Tnx everybody !
-
The fixed medic is so sexy :D
and btw, when you guys are finished with this, please put it all into one zip.
-
I think default Medic is better
Edited:
But that's just me.
Edited:
Though I use Steampunk anyway.
-
I prefer the whiter metal parts on medic's belt.
You guys did a fantastic job though.
-
This. And I think I prefer the Valve Medic's blue color scheme. The brighter blues make it much more obvious that he's a blue Medic on blue team. He was made with very bright blue elements due to the very light coat color; it's all so that he's easy to identify at first glance. I think your new blue Medic looks too similar to the red one...it may not look like it in still screenshots, but in the heat of the game quick identification is key.
I really like the little tweaks like the fixed pocket (God DAMN you for pointing that out to me :argh:) and the realigned/higher-quality emblems, though. Is there perhaps a chance of releasing a version that keeps the original color scheme and only applies the small obvious tweaks?
-
he has blue gloves, blue backpack, blue tint, blue pants. What more do you need?
You want a blue face? blue hair? may i suggest blue shoes as well? Oh and make him navi while we're at it.
-
yes, i realized this from the beginning so we will have an alternate version with a blue coat.
and we'll make a pink coat for red medic to go along with it
-
I love this. Enough with the "My pc is 10 years old, valve fix the game so it can work on my pc", we shouldn't go back in time just because some people(surprisingly quite a large amount) can't get a better computer.
-
make him nightcrawler, it will fit, since nightcrawler is german
-
working on the pyros now and i must say i did quite good with the nades
ridiculous attention to detail, as i bet no one would notice the back of the nades, but i mean if you can fix it why the hell not
-
When are you releasing the Medics?
-
Comparison?working on the pyros now and i must say i did quite good with the nades
