Greetings :)

Some of you may know, a few of us from the HolyStrike team are working on some TF2 maps at the moment, one of which is a Christmas-themed payload map called pl_hohoho. Instead of pushing a payload cart with a bomb on it, players will be pushing santa's sleigh, full of presents! I already made some sled and sleigh bell sounds to replace the default cart sounds, and tonight/today i started working on a 3D model for the sleigh. Nowhere near done yet, but the basic frame is in place and starting to take shape pretty well, i think, especially considering i've never modeled anything aside from a few pillars and support beams, hehe... So, figured id share a preview of it with you guys and gals... Feedback welcome.

If the payload reaches the end, I hope it ends with presents and snow raining from the sky while everyone is in their "fleeing" animation.

That would be priceless.

this is basically my first one. hehe

digital tutors dvds = win

softimage is a great program for makin game models, i think. i like the interface and layout a lot more than 3ds max. program's really flexible. the xsi mod tool is the old free version of it if ya wanna look into it, and noesis interactive has a few free tutorials on using the basic stuff in it.
 
*does a dance* Christmas is almost here!!!! :D.....wait....Thanksgiving first *does turkey dance*

Nice job on the modeling, can't wait to see more on this project.
 
There should be a payload map where you push a turkey on a platter to the goal, and when it reaches the goal it's actually a giant oven where the turkey is roasted and then everyone just eats it.
 
great concept and amazing sleigh. I can't wait to see the final project! Keep up the good work. I know Valve is looking for graph designers...
 
yeah should have no middle divet.

also every (Santas) sleigh ive ever seen has a twirl in the front

always gives it the north pole look

looks good though. I AM EXCITE
 
Great idea.... This is a good brain storming session.

Here are a few thoughts:
- I believe there is a mod out there when you die.Instead of body parts flying all over the place you turn into gifts... That would be a great touch to this project.

- When I think of Christmas " I think of Charlie Brown's Christmas" these two scenes come to mind:

Spotlight Scene

Dance Scene

Ok Ok now for my point.. It would be great if you could include Charile Browns small Christmas Tree in the map some where.

- Last point, I know in the Halloween map they had exploding pumpkins. Is there a way to have exploding Fruit Cakes? I mean why not no one eats Fruit Cake.! :)

Merry Christmas EVERYONE!!
 
Hmmm, its a little curvy for my tastes. Making the sides straight would bring it closer to the traditional "$20 of plywood in a mall" look, but that depends on the overall look you guys are going for. A Twirl out front would also really add to the look.

Don't forget runners! And will the big bag of presents be added to the geometry later on?

Constructive criticism aside, you guys are doing a fantastic job, and I look forward to the finished product.
