[QUOTE=Harakiwi;30784261]wip of the Nefertiti crown for the Medic, quick texture and all. [img]http://i55.tinypic.com/28vbyqb.jpg[/img] The snake is a placeholder here and will be replaced.[/QUOTE] Also it's probably too late for this suggestion but... I know you're giving him Nefertiti's crown for similar reasons as the Geisha Boy, but isn't one girly hat enough for the Medic? I think he'd do better with an anubis helmet like Egyptian doctors wore. Or even the Egyptian double crown (the pschent, maybe even name it the "Pharmacist's Pschent"?) [quote][img]http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/2/2e/Ring_Ptolemaios_Philometor_Louvre_Bj1092.jpg[/img][/quote] Like I said, probably too late for all of that but I wanted to tell my thoughts on it. It's still a very nice model.

[QUOTE=The_Broker;30784460]Wait no! That symbol isn't the medical symbol. It's commonly mistaken as such though. Read this first: [url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caduceus_as_a_symbol_of_medicine[/url] Here is the proper medical symbol! [url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rod_of_Asclepius[/url][/QUOTE]Welp you learn something new every day.

the hat doesn't look overly feminine.

[url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rod_of_Asclepius[/url][/QUOTE] we've pretty much forced it into being a medical symbol - whatever it was before doesn't matter much anymore, we all think of it as being a symbol of health anyway. think swastika, it wasn't always a taboo symbol of the nazi regime was it?

[QUOTE=Roninsmastermix;30784102]it seems to me your hat is not properly rigged. -In object mode, select your hat. -While holding shift, select the model bone. -Press ctrl + P and select "Armature deform with empty groups" -Select you hat again. -Go to edit mode. -Go to Properties>Object Data and look for the drop down menu called Vertex Groups -in the box you should see a list and one of them is bip_head. Select this group -make sure you select your hat's mesh ENTIRELY and then click "assign" on the bip_head vertex group button. if all else fails, follow this [url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-X5QGx2TP_8[/url] [editline]29th June 2011[/editline] it is.

[QUOTE=The_Broker;30784646]Just because the rod of caduceus is misused doesn't mean it's taboo to use to the rod of asclepius correctly![/QUOTE] i'm saying that because the rod of caduceus has become so widespread as a medical symbol the rod of asclepius isn't really as recognizable as a symbol of medicine as its 'incorrect' counterpart.

am i the only one who likes the cobra more than the caduceus symbol? [editline]29th June 2011[/editline] [QUOTE=Jetamo;30784707]Well, it works slightly better now.

Save you a bunch of time.

[QUOTE=Dachande;30784714]i'm saying that because the rod of caduceus has become so widespread as a medical symbol that the rod of asclepius isn't really as recognizable as its incorrect counterpart.[/QUOTE] That's still no reason to not use the correct counterpart. If everybody else was jumping off of a cliff, you know the rest. I strongly dislike it when people know something is incorrect and yet continue to spread it. [QUOTE=Roninsmastermix;30784720]am i the only one who likes the cobra more than the caduceus symbol?[/QUOTE] If it was a choice between using the incorrect symbol or a simple cobra, I vote for the cobra. Otherwise, the proper symbol. Pop culture osmosis be forgotten!

[QUOTE=Dachande;30784827]you avoid my point entirely. im saying that for the sake of the model it would look better with a symbol which more people know the meaning of and can identify with - even if that meaning is not correct.[/QUOTE] Well I disagree there. I'd rather stay true to the original TRUE symbol, people understanding it or not. But that's just my opinion. As stupid as it may apparently sound. Well sir, all we can do now is agree to disagree.

[QUOTE=Rebbe;30784794]Well, in Europe we use Caduceus. [I]le OP[/I][/QUOTE] Not everywhere in Europe, sorry. EDIT: disregard that, Asclepius FTW!

(Oh my word, I didn't mean to start a debate..) well true, it's girly like the Geisha Boy, but I like the shape very much for its simplicity. And I also can't think anyone else who could wear it. I'll go with the Rod of Asclepius option, as I'm more familiar with the symbol here. And I have to agree with The_Broker. Haters gonna hate.

[QUOTE=Benvil;30784311]Nice, I like the use of gold. Also, got a picture of the altered colours on the Egyptian Spy hat? I never saw it after the improved colours.[/QUOTE] hm, I hope you mean the styles, then here it is: [URL]http://i55.tinypic.com/a3ksg3.jpg[/URL] (no need to clutter up the thread with old work) I won't be using the saxxy material in the end though (like the Nemes) Nothing gold can stay.

Turns out Photoshop is actually easy to use when you know what you're doing :v: [img]http://i.imgur.com/0XKS9.png[/img] [url=http://i.imgur.com/47R6d.jpg][img]http://i.imgur.com/47R6dl.jpg[/img][/url] It's not red plastic anymore but smoothing groups, still my enemy :argh:

It's a cricket bat. Sorta. It took me 3 days to figure out how UV mapping worked. It also needs to look more like a cricket bat and less like an ice cream bar.

What do you guys think of this? [img]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/27687338/forsta.png[/img] And i know it looks like it has a smoothing error at the bottom but it hasn't. It's because i suck at lighting.

[QUOTE=Luigi30;30785630]It's a cricket bat. Sorta. It took me 3 days to figure out how UV mapping worked. It also needs to look more like a cricket bat and less like an ice cream bar.[/QUOTE] Never seen cricket.

People, since there's going to be an update for Killing Floor soon which will add a Steampunk Mr. Foster, will anyone be up to make a Style for the Foster's Facade.

[QUOTE=maxumym;30785728]I always thought they play cricket with flamingos. [editline]30th June 2011[/editline] But truly, I thought its played with wooden hammers with long handles, like a golf club.[/QUOTE] That's Croquet.

I added a scout emblem (and some more smoothing errors) to the bat: [url=http://i.imgur.com/BJIDz.jpg][img]http://i.imgur.com/BJIDzl.jpg[/img][/url] The red emblem is one skin and the blue emblem is another skin. They both appear in the model viewer, but how do I get it to use one for red scouts and the other for blue scouts?

looks very wide.
