It doesn't?
Well color me surprised, could you show me an example or two so I could see what I misjudged?
Aside from calming peoples suspicions, it would also be useful as a reference in the future.

just wait until it gets ingame and try it yourself

Orrrrr... Release it as a mod! :v:
Who am I kidding? I doubt that will happen.
[QUOTE=Sparkwire;37721469]just wait until it gets ingame and try it yourself[/QUOTE]
Why?
If you don't want your workshop page swarmed with similar comments, then having a few pictures that show that it doesn't clip will probably help quite a lot.
[QUOTE=Sparkwire;37720613]uh, the flexes dont make sense, the eyebrow should flex on the robot side. if the fleshy side flexes, wouldn't the robot underneath be making it move, therefore be able to move by itself?[/QUOTE]
[QUOTE=thecuntsman;37720618]Actually, that makes a lot of sense. How would the heavy's un-skinned side be able to flex if the robot beneath couldn't? The whole dead expression of the robot side makes it less appealing than if it could emote.
Such a shame you missed this opportunity.[/QUOTE]
Take your hand, place it on your face, above either eye. Begin to move your eyebrow, arch it, furrow your brow, whatever, note the bone underneath does not move, but the flesh is being moved by muscle. Therefore, why would the robotic "Skull" move?
[QUOTE=Sparkwire;37721418]doesnt clip with any of those[/QUOTE]
So is a hat and not a misc?
Oh well, I wanted to see it with the seal mask.

because it looks better and fits tf2 more if it moved
[QUOTE=Sparkwire;37721469]just wait until it gets ingame and try it yourself[/QUOTE]
I hate how confident you are...but god damn that was pretty good.
can people disagreeing please explain why it looks better with half the face being unemotive?
[QUOTE=Sparkwire;37721589]can people disagreeing please explain why it looks better with half the face being unemotive?[/QUOTE]
It looks more accurate to the Terminator, it looks more accurate as a robot, it looks creepy in a fitting way, it would not make sense to have metal bend and deform to make facial expressions, and would make it look less like a robot and more like a mask.
[QUOTE=Sparkwire;37721589]can people disagreeing please explain why it looks better with half the face being unemotive?[/QUOTE]
Because creepy unemotiveness is a huge part of the appeal of killer robots in general, and the Terminator in particular.
Why do I always end up having agreevote parties with Simski?

I think you guys are getting a bit insular about this. On the widest perspective, more emotion=more character = a deeper personal connection on a human level. I'm not saying you aren't free to have your opinions, I'm saying think about the wider tf2 audience, the people these items are for.

Because this wouldn't have an effect on the number of favourites given out at all.
Imagine the number of people who would favourite every single item.

Good point which is why on my original redone zombie scout model the skull half was going to have eyebrow movement now that it has been redone I honestly don't know weather or not it is going to stay skull at this point I'd like to see a little bit of both mainly because tf2 is set in a cartoon world and well quite frankly why does it need to be any degree of realistic lately I
I have been thinking of recent updates as some sort of cartoon adventure from the days of old where a plot wasn't decided untill late in its creation and things were just done for entertainment purposes instead of... Wait I think my ADD got hold again... Either way emotional skulls rule

Did someone get the spooky tank modelled yet?
Just paint the tank orange with black bits. THERE INSTANT SPOOKINESS.

This has to be one of the most creepy godam item I've never worked on. Does this look convincing to you guys?

Thoughts on if this is ready for release? Also need a name for it, will give 1% for a good name.

The layer of skin looks a little too thick for head skin, especially since its so bright red
Also it looks as if he pierced the glasses through his skin because his ears are so saggy, which makes it extra creepy

Putting emotion to the endoskeleton will ruin the very idea of the item itself, that under the heavy is actually an emotionless robot. I am aware that TF2 uses a cartoony (sometimes wacky) trope, but i also has a sinister and tight physical reality. Having metal bend to show emotion destroys that reality too much that you cannot suspend your belief over it.
Take into consideration how a regular sentry moves. It has its fluid clock work motion but when its sapped, it points itself downward. This gives you a logical indication that it is in a non-operational stat, giving it a sense of emotion. You can have the sentry slop down like this:

but you really didnt need that characterization and it would look out place in the TF2 reality.
