[QUOTE=NapyDaWise;37467158]When i design stuff I try to think out of the box, by expanding one characteristic of a character and removing another. With this I want to keep the "psychopath" pyro, and remove the fire aspect, so that it still fit, but it's different enought to offer something new.
Gameplay wise it wouldn't be so different : You have a shorter range, but keep the 200 ammo thing, you still have to hide and surprise attack if you don't want to die. You trade the FT range for a better afterburn : the bleed damage.
The same way I'd have loved to see the heavy chainsaw be put in the game. I'd love to play a heavy that have more speed but need to be close to kill enemies. I want new gameplay options, that's why i design gameplay changing items.[/QUOTE]
So you're going for Demoknight 2: The Flameless Pyroogaloo?
My bloody valentine miner mask basecolours:

I used the modern version's modified gp-7 gasmask as it would look less wierd with lense miscs and I have a gp-7 myself to look at.

i hope the whiskers fit on that, would be neat to have the mustache be right under the nose filter
Looks a bit to close to the original gas mask I feel.

Added the broken glass style (based on what you guys have said) and gave him LODs. Glad you all like him! I have been in love with the concept ever since Psyke pitched it. Has been really fun making him, lets hope he gets in this Halloween update. Will be up on the Workshop very soon, I will get Psyke to post a link here once its up.[/QUOTE]
is it paintable? might as well be seeing how it's mostly one tone (unless you're using vmt effects that somehow prevent it)

beard floats and the moustash clips into the diaphram-thing, which is there to make your speech through the mask clearer, they're not actually nose filters as most people think they are.
If it's too close to the original mask, should I give it straps and have an operators overalls balacvlava underneath, similar to how it is in the film? I made it hooded to save polies.

Thanks, really stressed getting that defined brow shape to give him that look. Almost wanted people to feel sorry for launching that rocket.

At the moment, no. I'm not sure If we could add paintability with the body as we have some crazy sinewave tint effects that give him a nice subtle glowing pulse. Psyke wanted to have the eyes paintable but to optimize the model I have stopped the eyes using a septate vmt. If Valve thinks it can be paintable then I'm sure they will just change (and break) something to make it work.

Like I said, I love it and I want you to finish the original concept. However an alternative design that is still a flamethrower could be a good idea just in case Valve doesn't want to make his primary not fire based. Still, with items like the Targe and Booties, I don't think it's extremely unlikely that they could still go with this concept.

Would it be possible to make it slightly more transparent, I feel it would make it more ghostlike.
are you concerned that might be a little too blue on RED team? Maybe go with a light red, or even maybe green?

I really don't think he should be entirely paintable, but I would be alright with paintable eyes.

Hi all,sorry to intrude,but I have a small question.Has anybody ever tried to make an iPad/iPod replacement for the engineer's PDA?

I actually think this is a pretty valid request, 'specially considering one comic or another had an Apple store in the middle of the Badlands.

The ghosts in TF2 are pretty much that color too. [url]http://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/Ghost[/url]
It's much more colorful on them though, but I like it how this one is lighter.
But how about a helmetless style? I feel that'd be more appropriate and would probably save the model some polies or whatever. I just really don't get why his hilmet would be cracked, but the helmetless one could be a third style. I mean, if a treasure chest can have 3 illogical styles, and a bird can have 3 paint styles, why not 3 styles that are actually cool?
Made it strapped instead of hooded:

Does this differenciate it from the original mask enough?

Maybe change the color to something a bit further away from the default and it will be perfect. Great job in general on this as always!

Transparency in source looks like ass
[QUOTE=Venezuelan;37467958]Transparency in source looks like ass[/QUOTE]
Doesn't have to with a good mask but I doubt they can do that with the glowing-ness most likely being a map.
[QUOTE=Pocket Medic;37467880]I actually think this is a pretty valid request, 'specially considering one comic or another had an Apple store in the middle of the Badlands.[/QUOTE]
Yeah,I was sorta inspired by that as well.I'm sorta thinking an iPad-like device that the engineer turns on by flicking the power button,just as he does with the PDA.The background on the iPad's screen could be,say,the Steam logo or something,and just for the spirit of it the apps on it could be something like iSentry,iDispenser,iTeleporter,WranglerPro,and DetonatorHD.

Although that might be a bit too much to make.

[I]Spooky Scary Simians send shivers down your spine...[/I]
How do I prevent this:
[IMG]http://puu.sh/10ls5[/IMG]
It's suddenly become very bad and obvious for no apparent reason as all I did was change the base mask colour, before it was fine.
[QUOTE=Simski;37467760]Wasn't it blue before? It looks a lot more purple than I remember it.[/QUOTE]
Kinda, Psyke had it fading from a purpleish/blue (How it appears in mdl viewer and in the screenshots) to purple. I have simply bumped up the purple as much as I think looks good (in both low to high fade) to keep it nice and team neutral.
[QUOTE=ned_ballad;37467759]are you concerned that might be a little too blue on RED team? Maybe go with a light red, or even maybe green?[/QUOTE]
Its purple so I think we are technically in the clear in terms of team colouring. Note that in that screenshot its set at its lowest purple glow point, as when its ingame it starts at that light purple color and slowly glows to a nice ghostly purple then back again to light.

probably has to do with the compression, small color differences on dark colors tend to be effected a lot by it
