TF2 Emporium XXVIII

[QUOTE=Daimao;27192764]Valve *will* remove the normal map, so I suggest you bake the detail in the diffuse map as well. The painting seems off on a whole bunch of paints.. (It seems they're less vibrant than other hats, you should consider hiring a person trained in Paint-Fu!)

As for the yellow/orange moustache/eyebrow combo I suggest making it yellow to match the grenade colors.

Paint-Fu?

Anyways, I greatly appreciate everyone's feedback, I was not expecting this much feedback at all. Thank you everyone for me giving your two cents.

There are a few things that concern me, though. I noticed a few have been saying to change the color scheme on a few things, particularly the outlining on the fins and backflaps as well as the mustache. I know a lot of you said to try a yellow color to match the Pyro's outfit, including the grenades, and believe me, I have actually tried this already in the past. I experimented with different color schemes before selecting these current colors as the final. However, I was actually dissatisfied with that color scheme as it did not look right to me at all. I do not plan to change any colors, but I'll guess I'll talk it over to Ragnar and see what he thinks.

The normals seem fine to me, however. I guess it's just me or something because they don't stand out too much for me. In fact, I'm pretty opposed to toning the normals down, including baking it into the diffuse. Once again, this is something that Ragnar and I will have to discuss over because these are all ideas that we had actually shot down before during the development stage.

Meanwhile, help yourself to some screencaps of the hat in-game so you can have a better idea of how it'll actually look.

Steampunk - wood
High-tech - rubber.
Do you understand that?

Any blue versions? The orange mustache looks good against the orange grenades, but blue pyro has yellow grenades. Orange isn't present in the blue color scheme at all.

Yes, but then it would need brass and shit. Steampunk =/= Electricity.

And unless Sexy Robot gets on soon, someone else can texture it if they want to.

I'm surprised by the result, but okay. You got it.

I dunno, I think it looks kinda weird with part paint, part team colors. Might just be me tho. And there's something about the blue that's bothering me, but that might change if I see it ingame.

[Zoey]

I'm surprised how close to LaroLaro's knife this is;

The Vita saw doesn't look right to me, both version. It has a long neede, the "hit indicator" should be in front of the needle. Just my opinion, though.

Idletard made it, it's his weapon so I'm sure he knows what he's doing ;)

Last night I had a nightmare that Valve added these killicons instead of mine:

The Gift Spritze was made by Svdl, thank him.
And also, you need to get shot for making that Gonzila Pink. Man, how dare you? :argh:

I agree. The team-colored nose just looks weird when the rest of it gets painted. I know it's an element on the forefront of the hat, but it really just doesn't work well with most paint colors. Have you considered just making the nose black or some other neutral color?
