That's my bolt pistol c: Funnily enough it was originally soldier but it just clipped less as scout. I am planning to redo it with jiggle bones and a better texture. Maybe include team colors as well.
[QUOTE=Thatrandomuser;37093636]But if you're learning how to use Max at home you uh, technically are homeschooling yourself. I don't see the issue here, especially since you JUST said for mod usage, which is what a lot of things people create for tf2 are, and you just hope it gets ingame. Max is the better choice for mods seeing how you can get it for free.[/QUOTE]
When I say mod usage, I mean non profit distribution like Gamebanana. Steam workshop submissions are for profit endeavors. That's where the problem starts
This conversation always comes up in the emporium. You'd think you guys would learn that it never goes anywhere because you all have such uncompromising opinions on the subject.
[QUOTE=Slamtastic;37086804]Sorry for doing introduction/asking for help in the showoff thread, but I couldn't find a better one to use, and I read the rules so I know to use an existing thread instead of making a new one.[/QUOTE]
At the end of the day, use whatever 3D application you're comfortable with or want to try out.
If you're someone who just wants to play with making models for TF2. Grab Blender and play around. Given that it has plenty of video tutorials specifically made for making things for TF2, it's a good tool to use if you have no higher goals.
If you're a student, or someone that genuinely sees 3D modeling/animating in their future, then use something like 3DsMax. Granted it's slighty more tedious to acquire (you have to do some signing up is all), but it's the industry standard, and you'd do well to get it for the experience.
If you have the time and patience, I'd suggest trying both, following tutorials, and seeing which you're most comfortable with regardless of what anyone else says. They're both great tools in their own right. You wont get much fair, open minded advice when asking people at the emporium as to which to use because opinions are usually very biased. So try them out for yourself.

I really don't see how Autodesk are going to somehow magically know which models on the workshop were made with a student copy. I'm not saying I support the idea of abusing their good nature, but at the same time, I highly doubt anything would come of doing it.
Plus, even if they did have some way of checking, why would they? What would prompt them to do so. There are hundreds and hundreds of submissions on the workshop that are all styled to TF2. What would make them look at one and go "YEP! DO A CHECK ON THIS ONE!".

I'm arguing more of a self security sense in a hypothetical situation. Will it happen? I highly doubt it. Can it happen? Sure it can. Also, who the hell would check every model CANDIDATE? They would be after the people with money if they did this. When you narrow it down to ACCEPTED submissions, the pool is suddenly a LOT smaller.

I had planned to make it replace the lugermorph, but both the luger and the pistol are on w/c models instead of just c models like fucking everything else.

there is literally no way to check, so you shouldn't even worry about it.
[QUOTE=Sparkwire;37095222]there is literally no way to check, so you shouldn't even worry about it.[/QUOTE]
I'm not worried. I can't model and its nothing I ever look to do. I do a bit of file conversion, rigging for people here and there, and particle system setups, and whatever else to get their stuff in Source, but that's about it--and for what little I do, I do in Blender anyhow since it's what I know, not because I'm worried about some silly legalities.
And you're right, there's no way they could check the models themselves. My guess is the best they could do is match the authors of the models to registered student license keys in their databases. I doubt much could come from even that, but crazier shit has happened.

You do realize that i manage to fix really old v/w model mods to work with the new w/c model set up by just re-hexing them? I'm fairly certain it can work the other way around re-hexing a c_model for a w_model.

They couldn't even tell if the models were made in their program though.

I actually think this is still a great idea, even if it's been requested more times than I care to mention.
I'd love to see the mask as a misc and the helmet + tact. stuff as a hat. The tact. stuff could be a style and then the hat would look good with stuff like the foster's and last breath.
And the lights on the eyes would fade in and out.
I'm getting a tad ahead of myself.

Very, also a really really long time until you develop any actual ability at it. To make something decent I would say around a year or a half is pretty good.

You may have rigged it to wrongly to a bone/bones. I've had similar problems.

You're still early, like a lot but so am I so I can't really say anything. What you need to work on is more fitting ideas and better textures because a lot of your stuff is either facial hair or really weird for tf2. Probably your best work are those boots.
