Would it be possible to model something that could make the satchel look more dented from the bite or something? It still looks a bit glued on

Whoa, that's great! I love how your merged the Medic's hairstyle with it, and used a cream colourscheme instead of white - it makes the item very distinguable from the Magistrate Mullet.

A second style with the XVIIIth century tricorne would make it even more unique and thematic - the hair itself seems to be too large to be used as a misc, however

Looks like you and I had similar ideas, haha. Couldn't figure out a decent place for mine, so I just tossed him on the head.

Hmm... no dent... could you maybe make the face more snarl like? I mean, make the face look more strained

Normally I'd be all for paintability, but I feel this does not need it.
Lighting could also be tweaked to look less plastic-y

I like the idea though

Yeah, there's some things I'd like to tweak, but I'm not sure if they allow revisions once it's done up. I highly doubt it'll get accepted if anything, but I can always tweak it then, if that were the case.

This would be the closest I could get to a snarl without altering the UV:

[Subjective opinion]I don't think your raccoon quite fits TF2. I think TF2 is stylized and tongue-in-cheek, but not straight up cartoony. The eyebrows, semi-humanoid body and posture and general 'talking animal sidekick' vibe of your raccoon causes it to cross the line. [/Subjective opinion]

Hmmm... maybe I'll like it better with the texture.
Either way though, are you going to model real eyes?

I'm exciting?

[Teh Kiyoshi]

Alright, seems I'll will need another help.
After I put definebone command for weapon_bone_1 and weapon_bone_L and compile the xmas item,
it gives me this statement.

[quote]WARNING: Imported bone weapon_bone_1 tried to access parent bone weapon_bone and failed!
WARNING: Imported bone weapon_bone_L tried to access parent bone weapon_bone and failed![/quote]

I believe this is what causes the console gave this statement
[quote]SetupBones: invalid bone array size (1 - needs 3)[/quote]

What I've thought that,
"1" means that the engine can locate weapon_bone , however it can't locate the other 2 bones.

Here's my definebone command that I did :
[quote]$definebone "weapon_bone_1" "weapon_bone" 2.227036 5.587126 0.201794 -71.738605 2.731966 -24.245333
$definebone "weapon_bone_L" "weapon_bone" -2.227020 -5.587132 -0.201797 108.261396 2.731963 -24.245333[/quote]

Yes, I make it parent to weapon_bone (because it does make sense if bone_L and bone_1 are parented to weapon_bone, and FYI : I copied the bones' axises from the First Person pyro rigs, since I don't know how to create/generate a new one)

I've been looking arround source wiki, but haven't found a cue.
So yeah, I need help.

Thanks in advance!

[QUOTE=ZombiPlastiClok;38189732]So check out this insane idea I'm working on. The only hint you get is that it's a reskin of The Original:

EDIT: Oh cool, four hundred posts even. What a great occasion to hit that milestone on![/QUOTE]

Advance Wars style tank?

I'll give you that. I've been focusing on making cartoony like characters, and that's where a lot of this little guy's style is derived from.

Either way I had fun doing it. I'm doing some tweaks and such since it appears I can update the uploaded files and such. I'll also be making a new image showing it off with some more hats.

[Eeshton]

oh god joshuac is back

[Noble Voice]

I gonna bet that NotLU 2 day 2 gonna be relased along with an Update of TF2 just to piss people off. :v:

[Mr, Jukebox]

Hey Evil_Knevil, can you make this replace more hats/miscs?

So Brit retextured the tartan using SVDL's kilt as a guide

i think it's alright, but i figured i'd run it by the emporium just to be sure

Oh good, you have a Facepunch account. Like I said in the comments, turn down that phong, it makes the raccoon look like it's been dipped in oil.

Try using the command $bonemerge. That's what I used.

eg;

$bonemerge "weapon_bone"
$bonemerge "weapon_bone_1"
$bonemerge "weapon_bone_L"

That SHOULD keep empty bones from collapsing.

[JoshuaC]

Okay! Fixed up a couple clipping issues with some hats, and reduced his overall shine, and added LOD's, which I had forgot to do last night. It doesn't work with every hat, but it works with a lot of them, or at least decently enough.

Looks better, I still think you should remove the eyebrows though. Maybe place him somewhere else too, maybe.

[Simski]

Nah, doesn't need a helmet IMO. If anything, I think he should make it look more animal like and pose it/place it somewhere else.

[QUOTE=Simski;38195977]Nah, doesn't need a helmet IMO. If anything, I think he should make it look more animal like and pose it/place it somewhere else.[/QUOTE]

I could do that, but ehh, I'm kinda tired of messing with it. Plus I couldn't get it working anywhere else. This was the best place I could find for his shape and such. Plus, it's different. There's too many shoulder dwellers as is right now. :)

[Ax3l]

I too, think the eybrows shall be assimilated.

[Simski]

Yeah, the placement is debatable, the eyebrows must go.
