Ok sure some find it cursed but honestly, seeing his face fully expressive adds to his character. Engie is humble and he seems to have friendly eyes and friendly personality, but boy can he turn on a dime and kill an entire team while cackling.
@@patrickhoover8501 tbh Engie is probably the most sane person you can talk to and maybe even enjoy talking to just don't piss him off and you'll be fine
Might sound silly but my favorite expression here is 0:14 , the arched brows on “purview of your conundrums of philosophy” is such a natural expression. Moves like live action to me, such good attention to detail.
Out of all the "Meet the Engi without goggles" videos, this is definitely the best one I've seen. Unlike the others, this one doesn't make him look cursed by actually moving his eyes, eyebrows and eyelids where it's appropriate. For someone whose eyes we've never seen, his eye movements are very in-character.
@@LizordSword Interestingly enough, the default Engineer model *does* have facial flexes for the eyes (or at least for the eyebrows). This is how cosmetics like Special Eyes are able to work for Engie.
I’m sure everyone’s just gonna comment about how “cursed” this is but the eye movements are just awesome in this and I think I prefer over the original because of the increased expressiveness. Awesome work!
0:51 God I love this expression so much, he seems so calm throughout the rest of the video and then here he just looks like a bloody movie villain looking at the army he assembled in contempt before going back to appearing calm
Honestly the effort put into the micro expressions of the eyes and the eyebrows... It's so well done, the movement seems so natural. My favourite is this 0:48, the shift from friendly talking to anticipation, to that almost sadistic glee, back to friendly guitar playing. It's perfect, it shows Engineer's character so perfectly. I just love this.
Those goggles really hide his sadistic side. I never noticed how sadistic he was until the rockets blew up scout's arm and smiled with wicked glee at the suffering. I always thought he was just proud of the rockets hitting their mark, but he takes pleasure in the pain of others.
Honestly the only “cursed” element is that his irises seem a bit too small, but honestly the subtle movements of the eyes and brow add SO MUCH to this scene and Engi as a character
0:06 I was skeptical at first but the subtle glance to the bullet with an unchanging face is perfect… engineer is my absolute favorite and I love you capture what makes him scary is his sanity
It feels so different yet interesting seeing Engineer remove his goggles even though it only covers his eyes. The eye and brow movements says it all, It actually made me look towards goggle-less Engineer in-game differently. I.. guess he isn't cursed like that after all. He just looks like a normal person
The "not pointed at you" part at the end seems MUCH more threatening and sinister with full facial expressions, complete with the death stare and squint of the eyes. bravo! the sticky jumping demo that got blown out of the sky sent me immediately after tho lol
I imagine it would be meet the soldier without his helmet next, But other than that this animation is so smooth and I like the subtle expressions in his face and eyes as he plays and watches people die
I just noticed that when sticky jumping demo launches himself, engineer looks at him, and when the sticky jumping demo gets blown to smithereens, engineer shakes his head and laughs. Nice detail there bro!
You really managed to make goggleless and hatless Engineer seem natural. It feels like I'm watching some alternate universe version of Engineer where his design is this instead, very impressive work. By far the best "Meet the No-Goggles/Goggleless Engineer" video out there and you deserve every like and view you get for this masterpiece of eye performance (I'm not joking, it's not easy making eye movements natural and you nailed it)
With goggles: a psycho that kills ten people without a sweat or tear Without Goggles: the well meaning and really smart uncle that just so happens to have killed about ten people without a sweat or tear
Being able to see engi's eyebrows move as he speaks is the single best addition to the original Meet short anyone could've possibly thought of. A real dam shame we can't see his eyebrows move, like, ever.
Love his grin when the lvl3's rockets explode and his glare toward the viewer at the end. It's a neat detail, having his chill demeanor crack a bit to show a glimpse of the nutjob inside Also that Demo at the end xd
I'd like to think that this is a "real-time" animation, like GTA V's animations. That way, it would mean that the tf2 devs intentionally programmed the eyes to be expressive, but just covered them with the goggles, in the final thing 😂
I'm pretty sure someone has already said this, but man, this version of the video really makes the Engineer more "Dell Conagher" then just The Engineer. Those eye movements are just fantastic. :3
I've watched this video so many times that when I watch the original I can still see the eye movements and expressions from this oen underneath the goggles. You did an amazing job!
Not a whole lot talk about this, but the final scene where the Demoman was killed, you can see Engie look up at him, and then laugh. That's a good attention to detail.
The eyebrow movement definitely gave him a bit of an edge there. Like, the death glare at the end, and that _eeeevil_ grin at 00:50... Chef's kiss. No, I haven't been rewatching this for the past hour, I prommy. Edit about two months later: Lord help me, this man has been living in my head rent-free for months. He handsome.
The sheer amount of effort it must have taken to make this not cursed is is phenomenal. Seriously, amazing job. He doesn't feel like Engineer in this, he feels like Dell Conagher, a real human being.
the last sentence in the original video already gave me shills, but with engie looking at the camera like this it becomes straight up menacing! Great job!

The version we needed. Smooth as butter!
It's all fun and games till this guy sapps the sentrys
Dude the expressions are amazing
Best ever.
And cursed as frick
More like cream gravy
It’s like you knew exactly what his eyes were doing under those welding goggles.
Ok sure some find it cursed but honestly, seeing his face fully expressive adds to his character. Engie is humble and he seems to have friendly eyes and friendly personality, but boy can he turn on a dime and kill an entire team while cackling.
I think it's "cursed" because people are so used to Engie wearing his goggles.
I’d want engie as a friend, he seems fun to be around if he ain’t mad at you.
@@patrickhoover8501 tbh Engie is probably the most sane person you can talk to and maybe even enjoy talking to
just don't piss him off and you'll be fine
@@ianfinrir8724this game is 16 years old
I think enough people spent time with goggleless Engineer by now
This is only cursed because that’s not what it originally looks like
“It’s okay Squidward. Just imagine him without headwear.”
“OH NO HES HOT!”
That's literally my sister😭
@@M9ff1nD4ck8rwhat.
@@MysterySuperhero-wy5gv yeah... they kinda simp for every merc except heavy
@@M9ff1nD4ck8r Oh, I thought for some unforsaken reason you were in love with your sister.
@@MysterySuperhero-wy5gv What in the ever living fu-
This is just really cool honestly. Glad Engie could take his goggles off after wearing them for 13 years straight.
oh hey its that one dude
but hintshottttttt glasses cosmetics existsssssss
I wonder what that would actually do to a person if they wore goggles for years without taking them off
It's 15 years old now. I am getting too old and giant for this.
@@digitaltoaster4956 mostly health issues. Mainly, the result of constant pressure on skull altering it's form

@@roxtor999 based? Based on what!
@@duncanchillake8024 Bird Flu? They tend to do that
@@ignaciogonzalez2929 you're telling me... a shrimp fried this rice?

For someone whose eyes we've never seen, his eye movements are very in-character.
and they're very on model with the rest of the cast (bar pyro because masked)
Not gonna lie, I couldn't agree more. This is so true. Especially the last line
@@leodavis4242We have seen his eyes in the comics though
@@Zzydeph Speak for yourself lol. I haven't
@@leodavis4242 Ok... The last line of the original comment sounds like it's talking in general though.
You should read the comics, they're great.
1:04 this scene reminded me of how dark and dangerous the engineer can be
He cut off his arm for the Gunslinger, remember?
@@LawreAnimationsi mean, he kinda like his arm got injured and then he replaced his arm with a gunslinger and hiding it with his gloves
@@LawreAnimationsFuck this, time to play BATTLE ENGINEER.
YEEEEEEEEEEHAW
@@Koshian_Adzuki YIPPIE KAYWEH PARTNER
I came at that part
1:04 that slight eye roll to the viewer is simply 11/10 perfection 👌🏻
LITERALLY
YES!
I didn't think this was cursed, I actually liked it a lot.
Same
It's the eyebrows, it adds so much more humanity to the god complex that is engie
@@LizordSword Interestingly enough, the default Engineer model *does* have facial flexes for the eyes (or at least for the eyebrows). This is how cosmetics like Special Eyes are able to work for Engie.
Same
Oh its still cursed alright. It took an even more sinister form.
I recently rewatched Emesis Blue and I legitimately expected him to have no eyes
I bet the lack of a tan under those goggles is insane
1:10 That moment with flying Demoman and Engie laughing at the fact that he was blown by sentry mid-air is a really nice detail, love it.
I would too
Atleast it isnt cursed as the other engi w/o goggles pics
**Staregineer**
It’s still a little weird
If you get use to this video it seems normal with the hardhat tho
He looks handsome without the goggles, makes me wish there was a cosmetic that did that.
I’m sure everyone’s just gonna comment about how “cursed” this is but the eye movements are just awesome in this and I think I prefer over the original because of the increased expressiveness.
Awesome work!
Well his eyes weren’t visible in the first one so what do you expect lol
I totally agree. This is way more expressive!
I don't no one did
@@TippedScaleI think he means that he expected something a bit more lazy, just like a static set of eyes.
He looks extremely and strangely attractive without his glasses and helmet. I was surprised that no one said that here.
RIGHT?? Oh man..
This video really raised my obsession for engie even higher haha
@@strainednewports same frrr
@@DorpyScorpyy I really like him now.. Oh my god..
@@strainednewports Tick tock heavy like a brinks truck
0:51 God I love this expression so much, he seems so calm throughout the rest of the video and then here he just looks like a bloody movie villain looking at the army he assembled in contempt before going back to appearing calm
“Hehehe he’s dead >:)”
0:51 that smile is so malicious, it fits this scene perfectly. The eye movement is great!
Finally the rockets fired at 1:09 aren't pointless
Edit: I just realized the subtitles already say "RIP Demoman"
0:51
that fucking little squint he does along with that smile is so goddamn menacing. thats why hes my fav operator
1:10 Notice Engie looks up to see Demo gets obliterated mid-air after sticky jumping, then Engie laughs.
dude, I'm surprised he's not married yet 'cause damn, the engineer looks good!
Everyone knows your buildings are your children.
And the mother is SCIENCE!
Honestly the effort put into the micro expressions of the eyes and the eyebrows... It's so well done, the movement seems so natural. My favourite is this 0:48, the shift from friendly talking to anticipation, to that almost sadistic glee, back to friendly guitar playing. It's perfect, it shows Engineer's character so perfectly. I just love this.
*use more gun*
0:50 the way he anticipate for that sentry to blow up that guy's arm is perfect
It looked like he was holding in a laugh when he shut his eyes after
1:05 that staredown alone makes me love this version better.
This made me realize how much Engineer opens his mouth while he’s not talking
This version of Engineer hits different, gives me butterflies in my stomach honestly
🤨
🤨
Do it
Broo you are secretly thinking the buff engineer arent ya?
Tick tock heavy like a brinks truck lookin like I’m tip top
I still want cosmetic that would remove engie's googles and with eyes being this properly animated
Those goggles really hide his sadistic side. I never noticed how sadistic he was until the rockets blew up scout's arm and smiled with wicked glee at the suffering. I always thought he was just proud of the rockets hitting their mark, but he takes pleasure in the pain of others.
0:51 I bet he's giving a "HA! Take that!" face.
Honestly the only “cursed” element is that his irises seem a bit too small, but honestly the subtle movements of the eyes and brow add SO MUCH to this scene and Engi as a character
ah, that’s what was making it off-putting for me-
Ngl the small irises still work, that’s how most tf2 models look in the first place. The first one to come to mind is Scout lmao
0:25 Out of all comments, I have NOT seen a single one mention the Killstreaker counter's number.
Not cursed. He seems so nice and approachable, until the "And you best hope...not pointed at you."
Well done.
0:06 I was skeptical at first but the subtle glance to the bullet with an unchanging face is perfect… engineer is my absolute favorite and I love you capture what makes him scary is his sanity
The fact that we have a goggle-less Engi in the comics but not an official model by Valve (or anyone, at this point) really sets me off.
i think the eyebrows and attention to details on his eyelids is what really brings out the realism.
It feels so different yet interesting seeing Engineer remove his goggles even though it only covers his eyes. The eye and brow movements says it all, It actually made me look towards goggle-less Engineer in-game differently. I.. guess he isn't cursed like that after all. He just looks like a normal person
The impression of engineer when he said "not pointed at you" deserves to be in a museum
REAL I LOVE HIS EYES
That glare is gonna haunt me for some time
This makes him more menacing
His eyes. His face. They solve problems of depression, anxiety.
In an alternate universe, this is Engineer's default design and when he has his goggles on, its cursed.
Man looks humble then all of a sudden gets nearly Medic worthy evil expression on his face
Absolute masterpiece
Plus the lil 420 detail-
He has such beautiful blue eyes i could stare into them with comfort... In a bro way totally
Okay now without clothes
The "not pointed at you" part at the end seems MUCH more threatening and sinister with full facial expressions, complete with the death stare and squint of the eyes. bravo!
the sticky jumping demo that got blown out of the sky sent me immediately after tho lol
He's so handsome without goggle
NOW THAT'S A HANDSOME MAN.
Soldier without helmet is common, but we still wait for Engie, Spy & Pyro's true face to actually confirmed
Pyro doesn't necessarily have a face, Pyro is a being of unconfirmed species
I remember reading a story where engie had purple-ish eyes. It was cool.
Spy actually has an official model with out the mask. It’s Pretty cool!
@@theepicorn7072mind telling me what
Doesn't Engie have a few comic panels without his goggles
0:26 Did anyone noticed that the counter doing funny number? Cute little detail, which I guess is a side effect of putting off the goggles
probably one of the better ones I've seen tackling this slightly cursed idea
mainly because you put a lot of attention to detail in it
His eyes tell a million stories. Now, I can stare into the windows of his soul. It's something I really wanted to see. Very calm man.
Once you get used to it it’s not so bad. Love the subtle eye movements and microexpressions.
1:07 I always lose on the demoman part.
This whole animation is gorgeous but I just love the little details like at 0:41 where he shuts his eyes from the brightness. Just fantastic work. 🖤
Thank you for pointing this out, I didn’t even notice before, but I love that detail now
I imagine it would be meet the soldier without his helmet next,
But other than that this animation is so smooth and I like the subtle expressions in his face and eyes as he plays and watches people die
Helmetless Soldier? More like
American Boot
i didnt realize how much eyebrows could be scary
I just noticed that when sticky jumping demo launches himself, engineer looks at him, and when the sticky jumping demo gets blown to smithereens, engineer shakes his head and laughs. Nice detail there bro!
Dang, he's got pretty eyes 😍

If "cursed" means "HOT!!!", then yes! This is cursed indeed!
This gives more character to someone already that has a lot of it
He looks... like a serial killer.
Like a calm, cool, and collected serial kilelr.
With goggles: a psycho that kills ten people without a sweat or tear
Without Goggles: the well meaning and really smart uncle that just so happens to have killed about ten people without a sweat or tear
1:03 holy shit the eye movement here is impressively good
I always thought engineer looked cursed without goggles before. But when i saw this he looks beautiful.
Bro looks majestic
Now without clothes
Being able to see engi's eyebrows move as he speaks is the single best addition to the original Meet short anyone could've possibly thought of.

Love his grin when the lvl3's rockets explode and his glare toward the viewer at the end. It's a neat detail, having his chill demeanor crack a bit to show a glimpse of the nutjob inside
Also that Demo at the end xd
HES SO HOOOOT
0:55 ENGIE, YOU JUST KILLED AND ENGAGED MEN!
the last line
holy shit never would've imagined it could've worked this good
My favorite detail is unlike the others who get interviewed, he looks and talks directly at the person behind the main camera and not at it
Oh my god, that is so hot yet so intimidating at the same time. Man is built like a Roman god.
Its cannon that he seldom removes his goggles for...whatever reason
Oh my god you actually made the rockets that shot straight into the sky hit a jumping enemy
11/10 best remake
Also the 420 counter is a nice touch
WOOOOOOOOOOOOO-
who stole my helmet
I'd like to think that this is a "real-time" animation, like GTA V's animations. That way, it would mean that the tf2 devs intentionally programmed the eyes to be expressive, but just covered them with the goggles, in the final thing 😂
1:09
Demo getting shot while jumping is so accurate to how it tends to go in game lol
I thought this was going to look cursed, but its better than the original Meet The Engineer.
I'm pretty sure someone has already said this, but man, this version of the video really makes the Engineer more "Dell Conagher" then just The Engineer.

cant believe RED had a truck full of BLU’s intel
I didn't think it was possible to make Meet The Engineer better, but you have proven me wrong. Thank you!
like eggman, his eyes need to stay covered
the last sentence in the original video already gave me shills, but with engie looking at the camera like this it becomes straight up menacing! Great job!
He's gotten two hundred more kills than the original sfm
Absolute madman
Wellllll the goggles are above his eyes so...
Jokes aside this was surprisingly well made, the detail on the eye movements were so good
His eyes and facial expressions makes him look like he's from the Incredibles. And honestly, I'd love that
imagine a sentry being able to actually do an air shot with no problem, ooh that would be scary as hell 😨
I love how expressive his eyes are
*Fangirling for Engineer kicking in* 😳😳😳😳😳😳
the eye movements add so much more personality to him.
