[QUOTE=zipziggy;39125519]So the mod webpage goes live on the 10th and the same day all items get uploaded to steam workshop will it be made into a collection?[/QUOTE] What? No. How would that work?? How are we meant to instantly review all the items and put a website/comic together? It comes out two weeks after the 10th...

[QUOTE=thecuntsman;39127498]What? No. How would that work?? How are we meant to instantly review all the items and put a website/comic together? It comes out two weeks after the 10th...[/QUOTE] True, that information can still be found at the [URL="http://robots.tf2mods.net/"]site[/URL]

[QUOTE=DatGman;39124357]He did seem friendly, but i never understood why he never replied to me[/QUOTE] He is a very busy man. Harrassment has commenced and shall hopefully yield results [QUOTE=Vonwilbur;39124522]I think it'd look better with reddish flames on the outside and orange on the inside[/QUOTE] Yeah, not quite happy with the colours yet, I shall give that a shot. Good idea! [QUOTE=JohnnyGoGo;39124803]I have to say didn't think the robotised Big Chief was going to look quite right, but you've really pulled it off, good to see an original concept work out.[/QUOTE] Glad you think I got away with it! [QUOTE=goldenbuttocks;39125051]Can you make it flicker more, to make it seem less "solid"?[/QUOTE] This is something that has been bugging me a bit. Before it looked a bit too ephemeral so I messed with things to get it a bit more solid. Maybe more flicker while keeping the colour density for the flame will get it right. Another weird thing is that depending on the colour it appears to have different transucency... that must be an illusion right? [QUOTE=Lazlo;39126291]Burning Bunsen Brave now only 30 buds at the lovely TF2outpost[/QUOTE] Ha! I reckon with painting the flames you could get some really nice colour combinations with the plasmas EDIT: Think I might be done here. Done LODs and tweaked the colours and flame flicker.

Some things came up in my life, so I can't pretty up the Hacker's Lament texture like I wanted to. Besides, even as-is, it's still a better texture than the original Cheater's Lament which, no joke, is just two colors and nothing more. The Halo still glows, and looks pretty good on Robots and human players alike. The promo isn't quite finished, since I can't get the text to look right in Gimp, but what do you guys think?

I fixed the Lighting issue I had with Mecha-medes ! :smile: [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/el1ZR.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/sVOpm.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/gz5pF.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/wI2Sf.jpg[/IMG] It's almost ready for submission all I need are the Backpack icons!

If anyone needs backpack icons for their items, I'd be more than happy to oblige. [sup][sup][sup]Unless the item has transparency, I'm not sure how to do that yet...[/sup][/sup][/sup]

[QUOTE=Rain*;39134134]I can't see any lighting, do you have a phong map and proper settings?[/QUOTE] My graphics card isn't good enough to withstand phong maps. But I have seen it on a friends computer and it looks fine.

Sorry I haven't updated/finished the list recently. I've been busy with school & really tired when I was done w/ school! I'm slowly working on the list.

figured i'd post this here too. would like some criticism on the brush strokes and edge highlights. [t]http://puu.sh/1L4K3[/t]

[QUOTE=dongalator;39139711]figured i'd post this here too. would like some criticism on the brush strokes and edge highlights.[/QUOTE] The way Valve get interest in the texture of the robo items is a little different from the usual square brush strokes. Get some textures from the existing hats plus maybe the robo heavy and have a look at them.

Which isn't necessary for community made robot hats as long as it look metallic. Just wanted to add that in there. c:

I have to say, I haven't been this excited with TF2 and its respective community for a long time now, and that's saying something for someone playing since beta with almost 4K hours in the game. Brilliant work here, guys. Looked through all twelve pages and not a single thing didn't make me go, "Wow, awesome concept and/or execution."

Not to say that the other items contributed thus far aren't great, they are, it's just even if Valve don't want to add a second round of robotified hats, the Bunsen Brave seems unique enough to add as it's own thing. It's clearly a reference back to the Big Chief, but it's distinct and different enough to not be -just- a robotified version of it in my estimation (translation: it will make big $$$). And of course, being the creator of both items does help as Valve is picky about that. Keep up the good work everyone, I hope Valve does decide a second round of robot hats are in order after seeing some of these, really cool shit.

Or even a cable running from the yellow thing into the head of the wearer. Some "explanation" for why it glows is what I mean. unless that middle bit is a battery, can't tell.

[QUOTE=dongalator;39141053][IMG]http://puu.sh/1LaYh[/IMG] still need to do paint chips and and re-arrange the bolts a bit. any thoughts?[/QUOTE] That seem with the screws really doesn't look good, you sould make the screws less small. Also made it more lake a seam. Could use edge high-lighting and paint sould be a bit damanged.

[QUOTE=Rain*;39142018]That seem with the screws really doesn't look good, you sould make the screws less small. Also made it more lake a seam. Could use edge high-lighting and paint sould be a bit damanged.[/QUOTE] when you say the seam with the screws, do you mean the big black line going through the middle or the seams going around the big yellow plate in the middle. And, yes, i havent started on the damaged paint yet. Thanks for the advice :)

Get the hat in model viewer as soon as you can and actually put it on the robo heavy. Doing this stuff in context is so much easier. [editline]8th January 2013[/editline] Ok! Sent off done and dusted! Thanks to everyone who gave their feedback and ideas. Thanks to Cuntsman and NeoDement for making this whole thing happen. So much strong content, I can't wait to see this whole thing put together :) Have one last splurge of images and video!
