Models and rigs done (except for that clipping on the heavy face. fixing at the moment.) Style 1 is goggles-up; style 2 is goggles-down. Base and prelim colors only. Time for tony to texture.[/QUOTE]

Oh god I need a self-made version of this. Let me brainstorm..
Rosa Chinensis (a type of rose with a history of usage in medicine)
The German Romantic (A reference to German Romanticism, naturally)
The Sensual/Suave/Seductive Stuttgarter (Stuttgart is the Medic's city of origin according to canon)
The Cardiofracturer (A terminology pun on the word heartbreaker. Pretty obvious, but I couldn't leave this one without a parenthesis now, could I?)
The Dashing Doctor?

Engineer is smart enough to realize the irony of wearing 2 goggles.
Demoman is too drunk to realize my cliche tagline on it.
Heavy is just happy to get glasses from me that is actually modeled to be part of a hat not to be sold separately.

Then send them puppies to me and lets pack them all up in one package.
BTW, there's some uv work on the LODs so i really need those materials.

Send me the models just so I know that they look alright first, texturing without a model to work from can lead to errors and things looking bad.
plus we need the people's opinions.

What does placebo have to do with anything here except alliteration? Is the hat meant to be a replacement for poetry? Is the Medic supposed to wear the hat when handing out placebo pills to infuse them with poetic power?

You know, I've always wondered if Valve would change paint colors. Not to an extreme point, but just making them more subtle. Lime Green and Pink wouldn't be so bad if they weren't eye rape, even if they do break the pallet.

They've kind of coded it in a way that would make it very hard for them to do that. It doesn't store the paint ID (such as "Black" or "White"), it stores the literal hexadecimal value (000000 or FFFFFF). IIRC, anyway.
wouldn't that make it easier?
The item would still be called Pink as Hell, but they could just change the hex to be slightly less crazy and the game would update everything instantly, even the paint bucket.
[QUOTE=Not_Yet;35509026]Well, you know i pretty much finished it apart from the actual glass texture, but in the process of texturing i said i was getting a fresh new pc with a new HDD. After transferring the orginal psd over to my new HDD it was corrupt as fuck as my old HDD has serve problems.
The last two or three days when i told you this have been filled of about 80% of my time on the PC trying to fix it, but with no luck. I'll give it one last shot today though.[/QUOTE]
You don't have to rush, It's just good to know you still care.

I don't understand how that's more difficult for them. I know it's all in hexadecimal, and for them that means it'd be a hell of a lot easier to tweak the values.
I don't think so, it stores it per item. So my hats are painted 7D4071 rather than "Purple". They'd have to go through and change every instance of 7D4071 to 4D3031 to make it a little darker rather than just changing "Purple" which points to 7D4071, to instead point to 4D3031.
...iirc
-ninja'd-
But that could also be a good thing - old customers won't complain that their hat looks bad now, *and* valve gets money if old black hat owners want the new black value, for example.
oh, yes, that's probably how they do it
So is there a way to define hexadecimal color values for each paint color for our own items (vmt) or do we have to stick to the game paint colors?
The white a black are too "strong" and I always have to tone down the color tint through the texture alpha channel to avoid white paint being too bright and black too dark which is annoying because it makes all the other colors slighty less vibrant.

Wait, seriously? That's painfully inconvenient. :v:

If I'm not mistaken, it's only a few less lines of code to reference color values that are stored directly than to reference an enumerated value and then be redirected to the hex color value in code.
On the item server, this isn't quite as efficient as it could be because a hex color code takes more space than an enumerated nonsigned byte, but it's slightly more efficient at runtime to reference something directly instead of indirectly when the paints are rendered on the hats in-game.

[QUOTE=Roninsmastermix;35512833]Kendo head gear[/QUOTE]
To be honest i'd consider just covering the whole face with a visor. then doing a mesh with alpha transparency.
mostly due to how fine the network of the face-part is
EDIT: i'm thinking of the kinds used for fencing arn't i.
stupid me.
