[QUOTE=Petroklos;36756030]No pics/vid? (Still "installing' them.)[/QUOTE] [video=youtube;8tKVLvLUk8w]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8tKVLvLUk8w[/video] Pyroland is a surprise.

[QUOTE=MaxOfS2D;36752571]oh yes, replacing it by the class embled would be pretty rad[/QUOTE] particularly if you use his beta emblem.

[QUOTE=mutated;36763931]particularly if you use his beta emblem.[/QUOTE] considering it's a weapon from heavy's past (i think?) that would be a pretty neat reference!

[QUOTE=Dr. Ethan Asia;36750367]The story behind the Iron Curtain bothers me. The Heavy's father was a counter-revolutionary. It doesn't make sense that the Heavy would plaster the symbolism of the regime that executed his father and threw him and his family into a gulag onto his weapon, an item for which he clearly holds some affection.[/QUOTE] This, but with any pro-soviet items. He's not a soviet, he's against the regime, please stop gluing hammer and sickles onto everything.

[QUOTE=MaxOfS2D;36766876]considering it's a weapon from heavy's past (i think?) that would be a pretty neat reference![/QUOTE] Plus a hell a lot more fitting to have a skull & crossbones rather than a fist

[QUOTE=Lobster_fists;36774090]This, but with any pro-soviet items. He's not a soviet, he's against the regime, please stop gluing hammer and sickles onto everything.[/QUOTE] He's being ironic, gosh.

I dunno why it can't keep the Soviet emblem. It's a direct reference. "Iron Curtain" u know...

Wondering, did you guys make a better looking Persian Persuader yet?

[QUOTE=Hecates;36787373]I dunno why it can't keep the Soviet emblem. It's a direct reference. "Iron Curtain" u know...[/QUOTE] The Iron Curtain doesn't refer specifically to the Soviet Union, but to the barrier between the Communist and Capitalist states, so that they could develop their own economies and sort out their own military affairs. [sp]I have qualifications in modern history[/sp] Besides, the hammer and sickle, as I said, is the symbol of the Communist regime that killed his father and threw him into a gulag. I doubt you'd put a swastika on your bedsheets if your family had spent time in the concentration camps (Godwin's Law, I know, but I find that nazi analogies are the best to illustrate things).

Are there any plans to do some kind of bloodless pack? I've always had some small distaste for the bloodied weapons in the game, not because they're done poorly necessarily but it takes away from some of the fun if my weapon's already beat up - that and all the blood effects are incongruous with each other and blood generated on death.

[QUOTE=Hecates;36787373]I dunno why it can't keep the Soviet emblem. It's a direct reference. "Iron Curtain" u know...[/QUOTE] Using that logic, better slap some Soviet stars on the Killing Gloves of Boxing and the lyrics to the Soviet anthem to the Gloves of Running Urgently

[QUOTE=Unisath;36790262]There's been many bloodless/consistent blood skins in the emporium, but I'm not sure where to look for those.[/QUOTE] I know official versions exist for the Ubersaw and a couple other weapons and I'm sure there are other mods but obviously the game's grown since then. It's just a curiosity.

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...

[release][IMG]http://i1039.photobucket.com/albums/a480/Hecates_Gaspar/tc_shields.jpg[/IMG][/release] Wood is dark as on the first team color release, made new phong mask for it and also Cream Spirit painted instead of just orange. also, clean Claidheamh Mòr and proper Cream Spirit like handles. [release][IMG]http://i1039.photobucket.com/albums/a480/Hecates_Gaspar/tc_claymores.jpg[/IMG][/release] And 2 newcommers! [release][IMG]http://i1039.photobucket.com/albums/a480/Hecates_Gaspar/backsyri.jpg[/IMG][/release] The Persian Persuader will be a bitch to just clean, it may need an entire new texture. The Splendid Screen is my new goal. Here's a list of other items I'ma going to de-blooded: [release]Unarmed Combat (making a proper Meet the Team blood style too) Boston Basher (done actually, just need new phong mask) Big Earner Amputator Conscientious Objector Persian Persuader [/release] Axtinguisher and Übersaw already have an official clean version. but I might make a new blood for the Axtinguisher since it has not the MTM style..[/QUOTE] and here's some worn teeth for the rake [img]https://dl.dropbox.com/u/39556064/Rake.jpg[/img]

is this shit getting fixed [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/1NlRD.jpg[/IMG]

[QUOTE=Robmortar;36821656]is this shit getting fixed [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/1NlRD.jpg[/IMG][/QUOTE] That is not a texture, so nope. At least not here.

Open jacket fix'ed. Tnx to Rozzy for sharing his psd. [IMG]http://img15.hostingpics.net/pics/541957Untitled3.png[/IMG] Of, course, the tie colors are wrong. I just pick up some random colors for showing off the tie.

I can't live without the improved Spy. I love how sexy he looks... the suit of course, not the Spy, totally not. Yep.

[QUOTE=The Lone Spy;36828893]I can't live without the improved Spy. I love how sexy he looks... the suit of course, not the Spy, totally not. Yep.[/QUOTE] You paint him every night like one of your French boys, don't you?

[QUOTE=Vodkavia;36829636]I think that's going to need some more work. [img]http://www.niggaupload.com/images/pea6R.png[/img] You can clearly see a difference in colour and the pinstripes are misaligned.[/QUOTE] The lines are like that on the regular texture as well currently so we need to fix it there first

I just pick up some random colors for showing off the tie.[/QUOTE] and you matched the shirt color too, good that bothered me a lot about the original texture Is it just me or does that tie color completly change the look of the whole suit?

Personally I like those tie colours better than the originals.

Tried this alternate engie color scheme. Waterlogged Lab Coat for the shirts and the trousers look more like pyros suit (top is team spirit). Not sure what I think about it but I guess if enough people like it it could be optional. [img]https://dl.dropbox.com/u/39556064/AltEngies.jpg[/img] As for the general changes on engie I mentioned earlier, you might be able to see thet the skin on his arm now fades from a somewhat yellow tone to a more pink towards the fingers, much like the original texture, also redid his fingernails to more closely match the ones on the HD hands. Also added some subtle brushstrokes to the hard hat, and I tried adding some peeled of paint (like on the concept and on the engie bot head). This isn't really shown off properly here though The Little pouch now has some edge highlights, I've tried to make a better cavity map/ normal map imprint on the texture and I've also made some smaller additions such as more noise on the clothes and less on the metal.

Remove the tear on the hardhat, rest is amazing.

Love it , love it, love it.

[QUOTE=blaholtzen;36844476] [img]https://dl.dropbox.com/u/39556064/AltEngies.jpg[/img].[/QUOTE] Why must you tease us so~

I can't wait for this project to be finished.
