I think it would be helpful to ask some of your friends on Steam if they're good at texturing, and if they are, send them your work so they can finish it.
It could just be that people can't be bothered. For example, the Halo 3 map pack I released was motivated by the fact Gmod works on Mac now. I've had all the files and models for well over a year or more but never released because it never really benefited me. Plus, it was coming towards thanksgiving and I went ahead and figured, why not?
Rigging-Fucking bitch to do, I'm good, but no way am I doing that crap for free these days.
Texturing- I suck at photoshop and can't bother to learn to do skintones.
Smoothing Groups- I just don't give a damn.
^ These are the reasons I, as well as those of us who do release stuff don't do it often. Imo anyway.
EDIT: Though it is a decent looking model and wouldn't mind seeing this done, unless it benefits someone for more then just hurrr i put this in a game, most won't do it.

Asked around already, no luck. None of the people I know are capable of such, or they are simply unwilling/uninterested.

Thanks for the comment, Ghostz.
Now it's highly probable I can't get a willing soul to do one single model for free. But how much could be asked for this one task?
And by one task, I mean the rigging, texturing and jiggleboning of this one model. In short, finishing it.
Probably the reason no one's doing this is because the solution is simple: don't mess up the rig or textures when you headhack it in the first place.
Notice that simkas raised a legitimate point, and no one provided a suitable answer.
Rigging isn't hard enough that you should be paid to do it. Honestly, it's a basic skill if you want to do anything related to animation or character modeling. It's sort of like valet parking: anyone can do it with the right knowledge, and if you charge (as opposed to receiving a voluntary tip) for it you're a douche.
As for those of you clamoring for this to be made, go get the 30-day trial of 3ds max or something, but install it after you look at some tutorials. There are plenty of sites out there that can teach you how to use it, free or otherwise, and you can pick it up in under 30 days (especially rigging).
I did try my hand at 3ds max, and been trying ever since I requested this model (mainly because I wanted to help with it more than just providing the decompiled models), but I'm not close to anything of acceptable quality with that.
I agree with you there, that it can be easy to learn, but that doesn't seem to apply for me. And if it's really that easy (rigging, I mean), then I fail to understand why couldn't a skilled user put it together under this one month while the topic was opened.
Nevertheless, I'm still trying to improve that little skill I have. I just wanted to make it clear that I'm not just leaning back in my chair, waiting for it to be done.
Or the person who made it could have just kept the original rig and not have to think about rigging at all! How amazing would that be!
And why the hell do you need texturing, just use the original textures. You couldn't have possible fucked the model up so badly that even the textures somehow broke, so just use the original ones.

Personally I think finding someone who has interest is the key. That's what animators/modelers do, we work on the things that cater to our interests. When we go out and get jobs in the industry, sure we have to animate/draw things that we don't want to or do things we'd rather leave in someone else's hands to do the things we love. However the difference is we're getting paid.
For example, I love to teach Maya or at the very least, show what I know (the basics if you will) to those who show interest. How do I get people to become interested? I play around with Halo models instead of my own custom ones at first. Then I show them everything they'd be curious about. I personally will probably become a professor or teacher in this field of study because I've always loved to teach, and the animation has always been a huge hobby of mine.
Also, YellowLake if your gonna call rigging "easy" try doing multiple models, of different shapes, sizes designs and perspectives constantly for multiple people for free and THEN call people douches for charging. It's standard practice among riggers yes, its not hard to learn, but it is very tedious to keep doing for free. They obtain models from their Client, rig it and get paid to do that which means constant rehashing and organizing of new skeletons, new bones and fur/hair/water/fire effects that might be needed. In the case I don't think paying for it is gonna do much, I was simply stating the truth for people who request rigs in the real world.
You wouldn't need a rigger if the person who did the hack wouldn't have decided to delete the skeleton and rig in the first place.
So ,can anyone re-do it, leaving the skeleton still intact? Or applying it to brickbox's headhacked version?
I can still provide the decompiled models, if needed.
Come on, I can't believe no one is interested AND willing regarding this request...
Still no one...? Oh well.
A merry early christmas to you all, too.
Shameful bump. :|
We made a page full of Bumps.
Its a shame this request couldn't be finished.
Indeed. And now he is here to not finish this! So listen up boy. Bump this.
Bumped. Yet again.
[QUOTE=Gummedli;27155581]Bumped. Yet again.[/QUOTE]
just like to point out that someone ripped the head from this and put it on the normal model, which is lame. BUMP
Another bump... though this request have been taken a big <whistle> on long ago, it seems. :|
Bump

BUMP
aww cmon man who's up to the job?
or why not we make one of those famous skinmod makers to do this.
something like Ayesdyef (the one who made the femscout skin) might work....

Seriously.
Also sorry about this.

Sorry but I am afraid the files for this are long gone by now. Perhaps I might give it a try later on. If I do get anything I will make a new thread for it.
I know this thread is over year old but can someone please finish this model and rig it to make it in to a pyro skin mod? Please I know Im asking for alot but I really want to use this model It combines 2 somewhat good pyro skins and makes them into a very good pyro skin. And something interesting is that I saw this model as a completed mod in a youtube vid here: [url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7rGtJA3nxwY[/url] so I asked the uploader where to get it but she didn't know where to get it so if it is a completed mod can someone please post a link to download it?

The pyro skin seen in that video is [URL="http://gamebanana.com/tf2/skins/65434"]this[/URL]. Next time, please make your own thread instead of bumping a dead one for a different skin.

Thank you for your fast reply however in the video if you look closely at the pyro's head you can see red hair however later it shows that the BLU pyros also have red hair but still she has half a gas mask the pyro in the link you gave me has the default pyro's gas mask the skin I was talking about is a combination of the skin you linked me to and the hidden pyro skin by snakemkii its just the bikini pyro skin with the hidden pyro,s head which is the skin in the video.

Unfortunately, that is as close as you're going to get for now. As brickbox stated, they no longer have the files, so what you are looking for isn't available. Unless you can ask the person who is using that skin in the video to pack up the files and send them to you, I don't think you'll be able to have it that way.
This model idea seems great, also.......i'm like 2 years late, oh well. this threads been dead anyways. :U
Oh c'on I Can't belive noone has finished this.
I have registered just for trying to get that hidden-pyro-head-on-pyro-girl-body skin that has been arround the internet for years and I find that it wasn't even released.
So much shame man
