[QUOTE=bigbadbarron;26578545]The only projects Ive done are with other people. The themes themselves are lacking in general. There needs to be a theme for the characters, not the guns. If the themes can be applied to the characters and the guns, than it will be successful.
How do you make electrical themed hats for 5 classes anyways?[/QUOTE]
Fine. Tell everyone your better ideas, then. You obviously have some.
Merry Christmas Pyro Brown!

Dayum, lookit those jaggedy edges.
[QUOTE=bigbadbarron;26578311]As if some semi-official vote is going to decide it all. TBH there are much better themes to do. than the ones neo came up with at the time.[/QUOTE]
Aww, why do you have to be putting the blame on Neo :v:
After all we DID come up with them.
[QUOTE=TheGrayFox;26578732]Fine. Tell everyone your better ideas, then. You obviously have some.[/QUOTE]
Its not my decision to make, I'm just a 2d artist. But the themes that have worked (polycount) have little to nothing to do with an element/season.
What needs to happen is a think-tank for themes, where [B]people who actually intend to contribute[/B] come up with their themes, not just anyone who happens to browse the thread.

thank you, i said the same thing to neo, but he was all like "meh"... if you don't contribute, start learnin, we need everybody to model for these theme things to work, and after you're a modeler you kinda figure out what would work...
A universal theme's never going to work. The classes are too distinct.
How about a home-made theme pack? Like there could be a shotgun with the barrels taped with an ace card taped onto it. Maybe also some scratches showing some kills or something? Preety much Custom Made theme?
[QUOTE=Chilean;26578853]A universal theme's never going to work. The classes are too distinct.[/QUOTE]
Exactly, and I'm sure that is why the polycount forum had their contest in that way. Despite this fact, there could still be several teams, each working on a class and his theme.

Did I misunderstand, or is this saying to discourage suggestions?
[QUOTE=TheGrayFox;26579042]Did I misunderstand, or is this saying to discourage suggestions?[/QUOTE]
Well are you going to contribute to the 'pack'? In the end its up to the modeler to choose what to make, so if you really want to have your idea made, best option is to get Gimp and Blender.
[QUOTE=TheGrayFox;26579042]Did I misunderstand, or is this saying to discourage suggestions?[/QUOTE]
how 'bout less flame, more gain? Unless were talking about the pyro in which case they are synonymous.
[QUOTE=TheGrayFox;26579042]Did I misunderstand, or is this saying to discourage suggestions?[/QUOTE]
It is discouraging suggestions from non-modelers. I can see the point. A modeler would know what would work best, but non-modelers can be creative too so...
Okay....thats it, fuck this shit
Someone recommend me a good free 3d modeling program, I've had it with just sitting down and watching shit get released!

Who said I want my ideas made? That's a mod request, not a mod suggestion.
It should be an idea POOL, not a tank. Suggesters (like me) add their ideas, and the modders take their pick from the ideas, or use their own.

You can still make models and give them to someone else to compile.

Yes but I cant even import models from tf2 into bender?
just thought of a quick mod I think no one has done yet, make the shades on the familier fez into raybans seems more fitting

BUT ITS NOT RUSSIAN!!! jk, that would be cool.
Better theme. Polycount Reparations. We make class packs for the four classes that got shafted in the Polycount update and show those other five classes what's for. A few modders per class, everyone makes one item each. Hats, weapons, misc items, anything goes. No distinct theme, just character-influenced weapons. Sort of like the Fancy vs Nasty update, except for those four classes, and one item for every slot (primary, secondary, melee, hat, and misc).

But you just replied, therefore you give a damn.

That's not really a theme... Also that's pretty much what we do everyday.
[QUOTE=Mnemosynaut;26580030]That's not really a theme... Also that's pretty much what we do everyday.[/QUOTE]
Each character would have a theme. It wouldn't be an overarching, every-character-needs-to-fit-into-one-theme kind of theme, but every character would have an individual, Polycount-type theme.
AKA Electric theme for Engie, etc. etc.
People pick the class they want to contribute to, we make four teams, each team picks a theme they want to do for their character, and each member creates one item that fits that theme.
