Video! Steamball/xbox360 model Gib test Created 18 years ago2006-10-02 16:34:00 UTC by Xyos212

This is a fun video experiment for creating explosive props, producing custom gibs, and showing off 2 of my physics models

I now am creating the models for the gibs as I post this. Ill have some later video's showing off more cool things later to come into my (and Exos's) new upcoming map "SteamCastle"

Lol...

well, at first i thought your were going to change the steam balls into 360's so the noobs online can fire them at each other.

I don't get it.

@ZL: "This is a fun video experiment for creating explosive props, producing custom gibs, and showing off 2 of my physics models "

no, i just used it as a placeholder for a gib test to see if I had the coding in the .qc file correct It would be funny though if I did that I might put the 360 into the map for fun, maybe hidden somewhere XD

It looks nice. How many more Steamboy models are you planning to make?

Alot. I plan to recreate the whole core with props/brushwork

Mainly all props will be custom for battle, looks. Custom textures, OMG so much work, but SO worth it. plus its split between 2 people so it wont be as daunting

You've probably used them before, but yesterday I made my first working func_dustcloud and set up my first env_steam with heatwave effects.
I trust you will use those entities in the map.
I wish I could participate, but I would need to see the film first!

Ya I did parent an env_steam to the model, and set it to on physics grap to activate along with a steam sound, but deleted it for the video.

I really suggest the movie. Someone like you Kasperg would really appreciate the art and design of the whole movie. Im considering it for my favorite movie of all time

I know I will like it, although Akira wasn't as good as I expected after many years of waiting to see it. I usually like Miyazaki's films more than other anime movies, because in my opinion they are more vibrant, colorful, they have the greatest soundtracks and the themes are more human and meaningful than most anime stories.

Ya, Akira didnt have the best characters/plot, but the animation was amazing. Steamboy does both area's very well. The music score is done by Hans Zimmer (Gladiator, Last Samurai, Batman Begins). Such a great movie....

Finished! Custom gibs complete along with the explosion prop_physics all together with the Steamball model! You can see it here: (Snazzy music from Steamboy included too!)

That is pretty cool. I like the gib physics.

Wow, that was awesome. How do you make models like that? I think you should break some of the gibs up a bit more though, make more smaller pieces so that you can't tell that they are all the same gibs when lots of them are in the same room together. Still, it looks awesome.

If you could get the effect in, in steamboy when they exploded, the huge ice thing happened. That explosion is just kinda against what I thought it would be. And how does metal combust when it doesnt have something flammable inside of it =/

[/overcritique]

Please Grim give me a small break The closest thing to the "ice effect" would be an explosion. Since I dont know how to create custom sprite explosions I cant do that

Oh, and if you saw the movie, if you have any good ideas for props you would like to see in the map please feel free to voice them

As for the gibs, I wanted it to be only 3 gibs because the more gibs loaded in a map, the more it cost to the FPS. Lots of props will have custom gibs in the map, so Im trying to keep it reasonable. (I set them to dissapear after 10 secs too )

THanks for the feedback though

We are not going to make the Steam Ball Explode. It was just a test for Xyos to learn how to do it.

hey, hey, hey I never agreed to that! Were still debating the subject.

WTF is a steamball? some type of gernade or explosive from steam boy I am guessing? Nice 360's even though they look un proportional, probably nothing you could do, if mine was on the floor being thrown around, it would probably look small too.

The Steamball was from the movie "Steamboy" It contains infinite steam that can power the whole Steamcastle. The whole 360 thing he did was a joke to show both of his models. And he didn't make the 360 EXACT size, and even if he wanted to he could just edit the .qc file and recompile.

"The Steamball was from the movie "Steamboy" It contains infinite steam that can power the whole Steamcastle"

Lol, I find that very humorus.... I don't know why, just is.

Ya, most Anime stories are like that, but this movie is different somehow. Very excellent movie and art style. So inspiring XD
