[QUOTE=blaholtzen;35205299]here's it in black [img]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/39556064/BigCountryPhongmask.jpg[/img][/QUOTE] Oh my. That is so much better. Well done.

Also took a shot of my old hound dog improvement and gave in to the temptation of editing it a bit so it's not a completely accurate presentation [img]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/39556064/ASuperFancyHoundDogRender.jpg[/img]

This thread has just taken on a whole new level of sexy.

[QUOTE=NeoDement;35210558]Bit brown for my liking[/QUOTE] From here I think that's actually the result of the filters used for the image.

I'm thinking the hair items really just need to have the rimlight + phong completely removed (or set to boost 0.1, exponent 5 or 10) (by that i mean that only the rimlight should remain) [editline]20th March 2012[/editline] [QUOTE=NeoDement;35210558]Bit brown for my liking[/QUOTE] yeah, it's a little bit too dark and a little bit too saturated. otherwise great :D

[QUOTE=MaxOfS2D;35213293]I'm thinking the hair items really just need to have the rimlight + phong completely removed (or set to boost 0.1, exponent 5 or 10) [/QUOTE] Shouldn't they attempt to match the player model as much as possible?

[QUOTE=Venezuelan;35213480]Shouldn't they attempt to match the player model as much as possible?[/QUOTE] and i think that certainly won't be achieved with them still retaining that pile-o-wax look :v:

Turns out sidney sleeper has a pretty good phongmask but the phong is way low So I fixed that [img]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/39556064/SidneySleeperPhong.jpg[/img]

But, I have a question, a simple one. This image was taken in model viewer?

[QUOTE=AlfieGroove;35222482]is this photoshopped? it looks so different[/QUOTE] nope, I just changed the phong and rimlight settings [editline]21st March 2012[/editline] [QUOTE=BART!;35224939]Wow, looks amazing!

[QUOTE=Hecates;35139358]I have worked on a new clean set of weapon for those with the lazy blood spray that VALVe used to make. It was the Eyelander, Charging targe and the Skullcutter. Didn't finished the persian persuader or any other item with blood. I could get the weapons done and make a version with a more cartoonish consistent blood patern if it's what u guys wish... Images for the lols: pics[/QUOTE] Hey, I remember doing alpha maps for the older version!

I don't think ronin would object to you toying around with a hi-res psd of the camper for your pack. if you want it that is :P

Some fresh news over here; murphy made a new normal map for the Spy. [IMG]http://img11.hostingpics.net/pics/293301Untitled3.png[/IMG]

I'd say it does. :v: But the Old one's wrinkles looked... Kinda pixelated, I guess?

I think the new normal looks faaaaaantastic I mean, just look at this dapper son of a gun! [img]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/39556064/TheSpySureIsADapperSonOfAGun.png[/img] Been trying it out in modelviewer and my overall impression is that it makes his suit look... suit-ier like, more natural and stuff. At first i kinda felt it might be a little too much but now i see that in pretty much every animation the folds make sense, and it looks so strange without them in most cases now that there's this to compare to.

I don't know if this is too much to ask, but after all the default Team Fortress 2 stuff is finished, would you consider re-making the Female Scout model with better textures and add the newer Body Groups? That would be amazing if you could. ( [url]http://www.gamebanana.com/tf2/skins/80046[/url] if you didn't know.)

That isn't really what he asked for though, you've gone ahead and made your own design decisions like putting the torso and skirt into their own textures (fuck optimization?) and recolouring the collar.

[QUOTE=NeoDement;35388173]That isn't really what he asked for though, you've gone ahead and made your own design decisions like putting the torso and skirt into their own textures (fuck optimization?) and recolouring the collar.[/QUOTE] that's the model retextured with something else than flat colours, which is the closest thing i could find that he was looking for. sorry if that offended your artistic sense.

[QUOTE=MaxOfS2D;35386509] [IMG]http://30.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m12xhsSXI61r42s8uo1_500.png[/IMG][/QUOTE] Max, I already see a ton of ways to add the new bodygroups without shitting on the design. If I can, I'll fart out some sketches/paintovers and give em to you if you're interested.
