This could stand to be a little smoother. I know you have to go around his sleeves, but you could make it less glarring somehow, maybe just bulk up his upper arm more and just have it meet the normal arm at the sweatband.
[QUOTE=EArkham;43283728]Each LOD is its own seperate model. Don't get caught in the trap of thinking that each LOD must be a perfect match to LOD0 except for removed edges and tris. You could replace a LOD0 jacket with a LOD1 sphere and a LOD2 box if you wanted (that'd be dumb of course, but I'm trying to illustrate how extreme you can go with the LODs).
I often have to adjust the UVs in the lower level LODs. Sometimes I'll even unwrap a part again, if I end up changing the geometry too much. Nobody is going to notice stretching on LOD2 unless it's a smear of colours, so you have a lot more room to shrink or adjust UV islands. And there's certainly nothing wrong with scaling parts of a lower LOD up to lessen clipping.
So the devs were probably in a serious time crunch and thought they'd either have to explain how to do what they were asking, or fight with you to get the change done, or wait for a complete rebuild, or whatever, and figured it wasn't worth taking the time.
I'd make the changes, wait for them to get back in the office, and then respond saying it's done (maybe even nudging EricS to get an eye on it). They had interest at one point, and it'd work fine in another update, so cross your fingers.[/QUOTE]I did what I could to fix the other problems they asked me to fix, and I did pretty well. I would've been okay with my attempts to fix the LOD was useless if they'd just told me, but now I have no idea if it's okay or not and it bugs me.

Might I ask how the lod would have screwed up your uv?

How much tris was your lod1, and how much your lod2?

Well, fuck me. I managed to fix the Opposition's LOD2.
Oh well. Maybe they'll answer me this time.

assuming somebody could somehow circumvent the poly limits and the lack of bodygroup they'd be getting all the upvotes since Workshop crowd isn't the type to care about optimization.
[QUOTE=Ryo Ohki;43283580]Given some amazing submissions were ignored and some borderline dreadful items get added at times I am going to assume valve's decision making revolves around drawing names from a hat.

Complete remodel of this armour to blah's new concept.
Also had blah texture it now so it's much better than what I could do.
Arms are being done accordingly

Come on, man.
Don't make someone else do your work for you. Do it yourself!
Think about how you could find them yourself. Search the VPKs? Decompile the map and look at it?
Someone is going to have to do this to find them. You should be the one doing it, considering you're the one who wants them.
[QUOTE=Venezuelan;43285707]assuming somebody could somehow circumvent the poly limits and the lack of bodygroup they'd be getting all the upvotes since Workshop crowd isn't the type to care about optimization.[/QUOTE]
Why not just make it a mod instead? Those don't have to deal with any restrictions and you can just toss out the bodygroup idea completely and replace the whole model.

Thats one shitton of an improvement, do have a question though.
Are these "II" stretched on purpose? The top on of each plate seem to be.
Could very possibly be an illusion of the eye as well, looks trippy as hell the more I look at it.

the ones coming from under a plate are longer, like on the helmet
Ah so it is intentional.
What part of the vmt allows killstreak sheens? I have some mods I want to update the vmts for
[QUOTE=Upgrade;43285872]Did anyone ever make that hat from Whose Line?[/QUOTE]
You might need to specify which one, multiple hats were used.
I took the liberty of updating TheRealFierce's Visiwatches mod for specialized and professional killstreak items. You can now see the sheen on the watch when you cloak with your killstreak item. Tested with all watches.
