Illustrative Rendering In TeamFortress2

[RatingManable]

he mentions the name of a animated film style that i cant figure out how to spell?

[psychochickendelivry]

@RatingManable its not a style its a person and their name sounds japanese

[LiveAndForget]

@RatingManable The name is Hayao Miyazaki. The man behind Studio Ghibli, which produces animated films such as My Neighbor Totoro, Howl's Moving Castle, and Spirited Away.

[Munch314159]

That was beautiful:)

[StudioNassimO]

I miss that old art direction. Now we have lazors, shitty hats and paint...

[McClaneGames]

I remember when TF2 looked like this. Then hats happened.

[ColBarnaby]

funniest video on Youtube :D

[WillMio]

Oh, those priceless memories...

[AzinFiro]

The CoD teams and a huge load of other game developers could improve their skills several times just by listening a little to stuff like this.

[MobilePissCannon]

@AzinFiro FUCK THAT, LET'S JUST THROW GRITTY TEXTURES OVER EVERYTHING AND GIVE EVERYONE A RED HIGHLIGHT ABOVE THEIR HEAD.

[Sukorshadow]

It's sad listening to this now.

[Frusherful]

It's just fucking sad how Valve has totally stuck a big fat one up the arsehole of this game.

[MaxOfS2D]

And now we've got bright pink camera beards and green alien hats

sigh

[GoatboyX]

Wtf? Why the fuck is lighting method needed to realize that the fat man with a chain-gun isn't a skinny man with a sniper rifle? Anybody else feel like this "how we did this" video is kind of like a "your all hopeless without reflective lighting" video?

[SaintDapiea]

@GoatboyX You don't need it, it just enhances the outline on the characters to make them easier to identify.

[Duskhart]

First of all I didnt say anything was wrong with maps in TF2. They are as far as i know Still bound by TF2s rules of design to become a official map. What I did say was, The Sh!t that they pulled with the addition of the Unusual hats is unforgivable & completely destroyed the time capsule that the game is based in. Your excuse of them still being "cartoony" is a cheap cop out for them being a huge unwanted glare on the game & then some. PS: I dislike most FPS, TF2 was once an exception to that.

[Duskhart]

And they Completely destroyed all this with the introduction of the Unusual Hats that killed the TF2 Environment, Feel, and the value of everything else in the game. All this is now gone because someone who worked at Valve was waving Shiny Keys in front of there Cat and said "What if the TF2 hats had shiny things moving on them Constantly!" Now one of the best games in the last 10 years is Dead for me and for anyone who respected the game for what it was.

[MrLeoBT]

@Duskhart Ah yes it's dead for you, because the game still keeps the cartoony looks and the maps are still with this fine design showcased here. Enjoy Black Ops and Battlefield Heroes, I have sentries to sap.

[raCteJ]

... I wish I knew what they were talking about. I can get the jist of it, but all those terms I don't understand yet. Oh well. May as well get to learning if I'm ever to make a map.

[GoBologna120]

I love this video. It's really useful when I'm trying to build TF2 maps.

[FredFredBurger234]

stop at 3:21 i love the art and 3d in the game it makes it better and difrent than the othe games (sorry for my english)

[RappaTui]

:O That's deep.

[majsbullen]

Phong Term!

[tonylin2]

I'm really happy that they make TF2 with some art style in it, the maps they make are so good.

[Stevoman1995]

basicly lightsources are added in

[xXGTXxGamers]

0:00 to 3:34 wtf did he just say? lol

[RyuBlue]

The background style was inspired by Miyazaki? That's kinda interesting. I wonder if any anime-haters who play TF2 know anything about that, LOL.

[Floreum]

Dum kopf

[ginafaloola]

Very cool

[FissionMetroid101]

Clever, very clever.

[manicx101]

this is actually really cool, as i have never actually noticed how much time they put on just the characters. It explains more how people are able to notice each character better

[sehguh1]

One of the shaders they use is known as "phong".

[CradLeRcker]

these are reasons why the games are an art form. not simple entertainment and amusement games.

[Marksiregar]

I wish the muzzle flashes were actually liek that.

[scruga]

they tried it and it appeared to destroy the overview of the other players

[Amana09]

Only problem with the video is he uses alot of complex terms. Course if this video was meant for modelers somewhere then *shrug* .

[13375767]

mind status: TOTALLY BLOWN

[FrostPanda]

does tf2 connects to other players?

[ThorekIronbrow]

It's online, yes.

[Apyx64]

Valve is in my opinion THE best game-design company out there its just phenomenal. . .

TF2 is my favorite game. :)

[elliotuk999]

wow this is clever....what did he just say?!

[sk958]

lol yeah

[Anarchemitis]

WHat I love is it's so beautiful and yet the simple layers for the render are actually rediculously easy for a computer to do. It's great looking and not processor-intensive!

[Flame3230]

couldn't agree more! this game is simply beautiful, to the point where you'd think a supercomputer would be needed to draw it all. and at the same time, it runs flawlessly on my mac, which doesn't even support windows games natively!... cept the spy. whenever the spy cloaks in the same room, i lag really badly =\

[Anarchemitis]

I looked at this same vid on gamespot; somebody said "Game delvelopers talk too much". Myself, I think us gamers are a highly opinionated bunch that is never satisfied, and never shuts up.

As a up-n'-coming graphic artist to those who are ignorant, I find this video very informative and very useful.

[darksidedog]

Amazing

[TheRedNationStates]

Damn, the guys at Valve are geniuses. This coupled with some of the psychology used in Portal. They's making me think exactly what they want me to think. It's awesome.

[KamakaziNinja79]

Oh yeah, I already played it :3

[KamakaziNinja79]

My old friend we meet again

[BloodxElf]

this is gonna be so awesome

[illusions77]

oh hell yeah! can't wait till it's finally out.

[MrTehWurld]

@illusions77 And now it's out! Do you like it?

[bellum128]

@illusions77 haha outdated comments ftw XD
