The Technology of Team Fortress 2

[CSN NewsBot]

Update: We now have a link for Non-Nationalists. Take a gander, right here.



You've been waiting for some new Team Fortress 2 footage, and you're in luck. There's a brand new technical video (~77MB) for Team Fortress 2 , the footage was compiled and given commentary by Jason Mitchell, Moby Francke, and Dhabih Eng.



The video covers a few interesting details about the design decisions made for Team Fortress 2. The footage comes from this year's Non-Photorealistic Animation and Rendering (NPAR).

The best part about the video was the pyro playing fire-ax guitar.



I didn't understand a word of the model lighting speech though.

TF2 doesn't make you leave places?



Anyway, it's definitely geared towards a techno-art crowd, and there were parts that I honestly don't have much of an understanding of. That said, it is kind of interesting to see a bit of the mindset of the creators, and just how much thought and labor goes into producing something for us to enjoy so thoughtlessly. :)
