TF2 Emporium 58: We put the PRO in procrastinate - Games

[QUOTE=TrevorTheJedi;43681837]Doesn't fonts from dafont have to have permission for commercial use?[/QUOTE] Depends on the font.

[QUOTE=SkyHaddaCG;43680584]wip [t]http://puu.sh/6zfYQ.jpg[/t] [t]http://puu.sh/6zfZS.jpg[/t] The bag will be full of rock-climbing kit like cams and nuts. I'll also be making a climbing helmet and chalkbag for some reason :downs:[/QUOTE] I've been climbing for about 6 years and no climber uses a bag like that to carry trad gear, they use a gear sling. Having rope as the shoulder strap doesn't make sense either, rope is heavy, make it webbing instead. I understand it's an interpretation and not supposed to be 100% accurate but it doesn't even come close.

Okay so my friend and I are looking for a little feedback on how to improve these items here. The Shoe attachments and the Shoulder Guard are one item.

That's just me though.

I'm not asking him to necessarily make it at that scale or with the stenciled on paint effect but it gives off the idea of "fire" much better

Can I still put an item on the workshop if I use autodesk's 3DS Max?

It captures the feel of what it's supposed to represent. Hot rods are meant to be flashy, in this we get flair but toned down just enough to fit TF2's all around theme. The RS on the other hand is too desaturated to be team colored. It looks fine in olive but those drab reds and blues just make the gun look boring. The outline also makes the flame look like a decal which is kind of the point. I really can't judge about the noise of the gradient unless I see it at a further distance. Noise is only noticable to me at mid to long range. Just my two cents.

In this context it just means noticeable extreme differences in a small area. Contrast would probably have been a better word choice.

[QUOTE=AyesDyef;43682701]I'm not the one out for commissioning people, you come to me and I say either Yes or No. Then magic happens.[/QUOTE] well I only have one concept up, but I don't think you would like it.

[QUOTE=Venezuelan;43682925]I'm not suggesting anything about the colors right now, only the shape I have no clue if that kind of gradient would look any good, I guess it's worth a test?[/QUOTE] Oh, ok I see where you're coming from with the shape. Maybe if he added little tongues of flame separate from the full body of fire so it would look less like tendrils.

Can someone fix the shell ejection (and slide + port if you can) for [url=http://tf2mods.net/mod.php?id=582]Pyro's Reserve Shooter[/url]?

Just a heads up to everyone, i'm beginning to learn how to texture at the moment, so if anyone has any models that need texturing let me know... i can't guarantee they'll be much good, but we'll see.
