Custom Models: What's the Point? - Games

[QUOTE=xpod1;16971548][media]http://i676.photobucket.com/albums/vv128/xpod1/Medal.jpg[/media] I use Reskins because they're just eye candy. The Medal was looking plain, and I thought the TF logo would be better on it. It's a small change, but I do it because I just fucking can.[/QUOTE] Please stop posting your skin everywhere.

[QUOTE=mysteryman;16970297]for skinners and modelers themselves it's a sense of satisfaction and signature looks.[/QUOTE] This is it for me, I don't use any custom models other than my own.

It's because people like it.

Yeah, where can we get some?

Another thing I was about to say was whats the point of custom hats and character models but now remember how all your custom content is shown for all models not just your player model hurr

I use custom content to spice the game up. After a while, no matter how charming they may be, things will get a little plain. Using soundpacks really adds to the replay value for me. The best part is, once I'm bored of those removing them will reintroduce me to what I knew and loved from before!

Because vanilla is only good as an ice cream.

[QUOTE=Ins4ne;16972116]HDR re-skins that make the game jizzalting.[/QUOTE] Considering HDR is calculated at map and model/ material compile time, a re-skin isn't going to look that much better, unless you meant a high resolution texture. Or something with the .vmt modified to show of things like Phong more.

[QUOTE=CharlesMan;16985937]Only if you put a bit of Nesquik on it. Yum yum.[/QUOTE] More like Reeses turtle shell.

I suppose it makes the game look fresh. Like 2fort_night, and the rainy maps.

custom models online that would be crazy you would be downloading over 9000 custom things

[QUOTE=yellowoboe;16986004]More like Reeses turtle shell.[/QUOTE] !!! Yes this too.

I usually install models and after 2 days of use I get tired of them and delete them. Now I usually download higher-res or improved original models.
