Valve presents: TF2 Contribute

[Sgt. McAwesome]

http://www.teamfortress.com/contribute/

This page allows members to create items and avatars that other players can use. It'll be reviewed by the guys themselves and made as Random Drops.

They just added it today. Thoughts, comments, complains?

oh boy what is in store for us in the future

 

[Kevimaster]

Nice, awesome! :thumbup:

 

[Lance]

I might have to do something for this. I'm more into texturing than modeling, although I've never attempted the TF2 style for either.

 

[SanityCore]

Looks pretty cool if you can make em

 

[Kamon]

What I like about this is that it will draw more people to the modeling community. I can't wait.

 

[Beta]

I contributed 2 avatars so far. I guess I'll try my hand at modeling soon.

 

[CheeseW01f]

One word: awesome!!! I can't wait to see all the creations.

 

[NUFAN]

This could be pretty cool.

 

[CatKicka]

Oh man! My dream-loadout for the Scout could soon become a reality:

-Nailgun
-Dual Pistols
-Sack o' Doorknobs

 

[Adam]

Nailgun should be for the engineer, which would be AWESOME.

Prepare for the community to erupt into creativity.

Are these new weapons just new models of current weapons? Or are they completely new weapons with different effects and such?
(Modeling newb here ) What software do I need to start making my own? I have access to the Adobe Creative Suite and various other technologies at my school.

Contribute Update: AKA do our job for us, for free

 

[Allan]

It'll be interesting to see what the TF2 community comes up with!

[Captain Ashton]

It certainly sounds interesting. I'm curious to how many items will be added to the game.

 

[Doomcat]

dangit XD i would totally submit some things if i knew how to model...i know what i wish i could make, i just cant make it...this sucks and rules at the same time

 

[Groo]

This kind of makes me wish they would release a TF2 classic. Maybe I'm just old fashioned or maybe I'm just a stick in the mud, but i liked the original TF2 best. Unfortunately, I can't play that game anymore (downside to forced updates I guess).

Oh well.

I personally use Blender 3D (blender.org) but it takes a little while to learn.

You could also try the Softimage Mod Tool (http://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/XSI) I have never used this, but it should probably do the trick.

Both of them are free.

Hope this helped!

I have never modeled and can not see my self doing so any time soon. But there might be some good info around the web and here is the valve software wiki http://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Category:Modeling
