Unless people have further suggestions, I feel ready to get these in game and do final tweaks this weekend.
Taken from Maya, 8x AA with BDRF Cgfx shader, TF2 ramp and single light. Closest you can get to previewing in Maya.

I don't think tight straps really work like this
[IMG]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/40395733/how2.png[/IMG]
Good spot!
Fixed, I shan't bother with the internals of the strap there, though. Unless people feel it needs it? Obviously it seems a bit thicker at the corners, but is it necessary to maintain that?
Thoughts...?

Edit:
Actually, I will cut the holes in, but only for LOD0 :). Bare with me!
[QUOTE=Ryu-Gi;38380082]I've been looking at the belt buckle again in Itemtest, and it occurred to me that some changes could be made.
1) It needs team colors to make it more visually interesting.
2_It needs to be darker so that it doesn't call too much attention to Engy's crotch.
Also more screenshots, it seems to go well with these items equipped.

That stock isn't right and the barrel is rather thick.
[QUOTE=Lium;38382349]That stock isn't right and the barrel is rather thick.[/QUOTE]
Yeah, the stock is messed up due to a bit of issue I am having with it.
And is the idea of a one-shot slug rifle valid enough for having the barrel be thick? I would prefer it like that myself.
Mates, Pako still doing mods and stuff? I want to know if he can, if possible, make a update to the Nes Fortress.
I already have Scout as Makoto, although I could probably make an alternative, so you can choose to have Noel or Makoto.

Firstly, is there a concept for this I might have missed? :) If my comments are a right downer, my apologies!
How is it loaded? Muzzle or breech-end? If it is breech-end (how most guns work), it will need a hinge to open up, which means that tape wouldn't be needed. If it is muzzle-loaded, ignore that! :D
On a regular pump-action shotgun, that cylinder you typically see underneath the barrel is actually the magazine that stores excess ammo. A pump of the handle moves and chambers one of the rounds. Your 'magazine' cylinder seems hollow and doesn't make sense without a charging handle or pump. If it is single-shot, it doesn't need anything below the barrel other than a receiver grip.
The design just appears a bit confused to me, its not sure what it is?
This is a similar silhouette to your model, maybe take some shapes from it.
Its a sawn-off M79:

One-shot slug shotgun for scout is my idea. It's break-action. But similar to the FaN, the reload point is at the end of the light green barrel. The break-action part itself, for the gun to split open, is missing for now. And I added the tape as well as the small barrel just for looks. It wasn't as big as that earlier though.
Guys i'm having some trouble to install a soundpack that replaces the main menu musics, it's not working: I install but when i launch the game it still having the defaults one. Any ideas how to make this work?
[QUOTE=maty;38382268][img]http://img197.imageshack.us/img197/1940/bottle2.jpg[/img]
Better?[/QUOTE]
I think it could use a squeeze, also might wan to put a strap belt buckle, or tie on those straps.
If you squeeze it, one it will look like it fits tf2 more, and secondly it looks like the straps have a use.
[IMG]http://puu.sh/1odZt[/IMG]
As an idea, you might want to just add some little objects that break up the simplicity of the model, like a sticker, or something that would be humorous, while maintaining a clean style.

Looking good, but the promo pic is so bright and desaturated. I would turn down the tonemapscale on your camera in sfm (that is if you are using sfm).
When in doubt of promo pics, look at the official stuff, and examine what they do to make it awesome.

All of the parts where he could hold it are sharp, you need a lot more verts dedicated to that stock.
It's break action but doesn't actually have a place to break.
I can help with the texture if you need.

Thanks for the offer. But I got a friend on it already. And yeah, the break point is missing purposely. I have yet to add it. I have some issues adding verts on the stock though.

Thanks for the feedback! Hmm, I'll give it a go and see how it looks. In reality, hot water bottles don't expand or contract across their width, which is why I deliberately left it straight - so I'll see how it looks.
It's not posed or positioned yet, so it'll have more personality attached once its in place :).
Here's an example using my horrible cockatoo mask. Open your base texture without the AO bake in your image editing program, and make the areas you want paintable in full white. You can have areas of detail on your paintable area, but keep in mind that any colours will be overlayed in the paint colour and generally look weird. So it's good practice to keep any additional details in grayscale.
Base texture - feathers (paintable area) are white, with grayscale details (darker greys will make the painted colour darker):
[IMG]https://dl.dropbox.com/u/19306897/paint0.png[/IMG]
Now apply it to your model in your modelling program, and do an ambient occlusion bake.
[IMG]https://dl.dropbox.com/u/19306897/paint1.png[/IMG]
Import the bake texture into your image editing program, add an alpha channel.
[IMG]https://dl.dropbox.com/u/19306897/paint2.png[/IMG]
In this layer, make the non-paintable areas black, and the areas fully affected by paint white.
[IMG]https://dl.dropbox.com/u/19306897/paint3.png[/IMG]
Then export the texture as a DXT5 Format .vtf (you need this so the alpha channel is saved), and then put the lines posted before into your .vmt.
Final result (note the base of the feathers transition to white because they had a white to black gradient in the alpha channel):

Keep in mind some people prefer different methods, but this is what I use.
Well, I'm back from vacation and I think its time to show you my WIP for today.
