The wood grain is shaping up. There should be some wear on the parts that would most realistically have been dragged or rubbed on, like the bottom pommel of the bat, and maybe the upper middle of it.
The rubber you could just give a lot of wear in the texture, or perhaps put some small rips in.
I did a paintover and have determined that everyone but me was correct

Here's something I've been holding onto for a long time now.
Submitted this 9 months ago, the name and stat was revealed during the steam translation leak 5-6 months ago, so it's unreleased for now. :)

looks like a stretched texture, and nail heads arent that thick.

The color of the wear is too light. It should only be a little bit lighter than the rest of it.
I would actually suggest brightening up the color of the non-worn wood instead of darkening the wear. Right now the wood seems a little dark in general.

So The Goalkeeper was never the leviathan? I am sad now.

Laro you're a magnificent bastard.
Have you ever thought of making something really wild and crazy and original in terms of TF2 weapons? Like Ronin's Sentry Arm? I think, knowing your creativity, the results would be wondrous.

Laro, do you have magical lightwarps or an amazing graphics card or something? Because all your renders and screenshots are beautiful.
here's some progress!

I have, then I have to pull myself down to earth because I feel Valve would never want to implement anything wild and crazy.

Looking good. I personally think the wood ought to be a bit lighter, but that's just my opinion, so don't worry about it.
[QUOTE=larolaro;33912151]I have, then I have to pull myself down to earth because I feel Valve would never want to implement anything wild and crazy.[/QUOTE]
Ronin seems to do it. Maybe you should try it. Also I do like your goal keeper model but it seems Spark's Leviathan fits the stats more. When I think of a gun that can destroy rockets and grenades, I think of a huge gun.

Well, make it anyway! You might be surprised! Even if they wouldn't implement it, you'd be showered with praise from us.
Give it a try, I'd [I]love[/I] to see it!
[QUOTE=larolaro;33912151]I have, then I have to pull myself down to earth because I feel Valve would never want to implement anything wild and crazy.[/QUOTE]
I know the goal of creating stuff is to get it in-game, but you shouldn't be afraid to just let loose and have your imagination run wild when you make things. Just because it might not get into game doesn't mean it's not a fun and uplifting experience. Sparkwire put it best by saying "making the items pays for itself."
Although that WAS in reference to the Motherly Father. :v:
[QUOTE=Corndog Ninja;33911796]Laro, do you have magical lightwarps or an amazing graphics card or something? Because all your renders and screenshots are beautiful.[/QUOTE]
Thanks! Well for the in-game stuff it's just normal set up, for the viewport shots I take em in Maya, using a CG shader, my own lightwarp and what not.
[QUOTE=larolaro;33912151]I have, then I have to pull myself down to earth because I feel Valve would never want to implement anything wild and crazy.[/QUOTE]
Huntsman, Gunslinger, Close Combat Kit, Jarate etc
They've done some wild and crazy things in the past (at least in comparison to their predecessors) and they now feel far more natural in the TF world since we've been given ample time to adjust to and accept them. From what I've observed, it just seems like a pain to coerce them to accept any animations or rigging that is beyond what has already been done in-game so far, and then they defy that with some of the weapons that have unique animations for them (Pompson, Cow Mangler, Sharp Dresser, etc) and other rigging for things things (All Father attaching to facial flexes being the most notable in recent history).
Do you think they'd possibly accept your original Short Circuit design at some point? Just the concept of a machinegun arm, if I am not mistaken, they wanted an electric-based weapon because it was supposed to be Deus Ex/futuristic themed or something.

As far as I know, the shooting down projectiles stat was too OP. So my Goalkeeper won't/wouldn't have the shooting down projectiles stat in the end anyway.

Give me a chance to respond jeepers, there's like 5 people asking me questions simultaneously!

Maybe that's why they didn't add the gun in the Uber update. Well have you suggested new stats for it?
A little lighter on the whole texture, and then I also made the heads smaller to appease Sparkwire, knowing damn well nothing will ever make him happy.

Personally I'd say those fairly small changes have made a huge difference. The proportions do look a little bit off to me, but that might not be a bad thing. Could you get this in-game to take some screenshots, perhaps?
Awww man, you could have used your first post to say something nice to Larolaro, and instead you wasted it on my skank ass.
Progress!
