[QUOTE=questionablyi;43161395]I really like your vest there jukebox! May I give a suggestion? Since your vest has a similar fur style as my Dog fighter jacket I would like to share with you what I did to get a sexy shading effect on the fur.
I did a randomized bubble effect for the normals on the collar. In Photoshop I created a layer just for the fur and added a layer mask to mask off the furry bit... I then started drawing soft white dots of random oppacity on a 50% grey background.
I then ran that through a program called crazy bump to make the normals.
Here's what the normals on my jacket looked like and the effect that it creates:

So you did all the normals texturing them, or just the fur? I maybe need some normals for a model of mine and I'm a bit lost

Thanks dude! Noted for later. My main problem was time and not having any experience with normals. But I'll definitely be using this in the future!
[QUOTE=questionablyi;43161127]Sorry for getting back so late... Yeah as far as mods goes I didn't want to make a mod until after the winter update. (No opening up your presents early kids ^_^) But if the item isn't released I'll definitely think about it! What I was planning on doing was if the item did make it in the game, I would release a High Definition texture replacement mod so the pinups would come in better. ([B]or even be on it at all because Valve contacted me and wanted me to remove them and I have[/B])
And what does HAG mean? That's my artsy fartsy way of signing my name on my art pieces. Stands for Henry Austin Grimes.[/QUOTE]
Wait.....if it gets in....it wont have the pin ups?....

whats the matter VALVe? you can give the pyro a set based on a cocaine obsessed pedophile but you wont allow that in your M rated game?
I gotta love your double standards

I don't think it's a matter of double standards. They already have pinups in the game, really good ones in fact. Look at the calendars ;)

Noticing all those disagrees in such short notice... I want to say I wasn't wanting to come off as a dick. Sorry if I did. I just found out this technique that looked nice (In my opinion) and wanted to share.
[QUOTE]So you did all the normals texturing them, or just the fur? I maybe need some normals for a model of mine and I'm a bit lost [/QUOTE]
Sorry I can't figure out exactly what you asked there but I'll try to answer what I think you asked.
I actually took my original textures PSD and saved them as a different name. I then made everything black and white and turned off layers that had nothing to do with height. I then adjusted each layer so that they would represent height. If 50% grey is default the lighter something is the heigher it is and the darker things are the lower things are. So mostly I just adjusted the colors and the brightness of the layers and turned things off... But for the fur I drew all sorts of bumps like I said.
After I was happy with the results I ran it through a program called crazy bump that turned the black and white texture into a normal map.
Here is my original texture and the what it looked like before I turned it into a normal map:

And here's another picture of the fur effect (this time with a shotgun) Really guys you don't see the effect until you see the lights moving over it.

to each their own i suppose
i really liked it and i felt that they made the items stand out more relative to the other 10 jackets in the workshop
[QUOTE=zipziggy;43161920]all the more reason i cant understand why they asked him to remove it[/QUOTE]
Probably because they look like current day marketing vector graphics and not pinups :x
[QUOTE=Gryn;43161940]Probably because they look like current day marketing vector graphics and not pinups :x[/QUOTE]
yeah ill concede that i suppose but im still pretty disappointed; i think a lotta people will be sad when it gets added and see the pin ups gone
[QUOTE=zipziggy;43161821]Wait.....if it gets in....it wont have the pin ups?....

Thank god.
well at least there will be mods to re-add the pin ups, i don't care if its considered overly garish or not, i love the designs.

Yeah those pinups were good.
...and Hey! Are you saying mine sucked? :wink:
No I wanted the art style to be simplified even more so on the textures of my jacket so they wouldn't be a mess and the colors would be distinct. I went with and another actual 50s time period art style from what valve chose and decided on something like this:
[IMG]http://publish.files.wordpress.com/2008/02/2cv1954a.jpg[/IMG]
Its similar to vector art so I decide to make the pinups in a vector program. Cool thing is vow I got those pinups vectorized, I can scale them so whatever size I want without a loss in quality!

looks real lumpy and further amplifies its difference in art style from tf2

That's because you're obsessed with depictions of tiny women that don't fit the art style.
your implying that this matters to the current subject. tf2 takes place in a time period were propaganda is extremely common. Therefore it fits.
[QUOTE='[Square];43162137']That's because you're obsessed with depictions of tiny women that don't fit the art style.[/QUOTE]
i think at this point were all beyond the point of STRICT adherence to the artstyle; hell even VALVe has broken their own artsyle/theme rule multiple times now
and its not like theres a backlash against it, its one of the most poplular items in the workshop now,

Yeah, but it is not in the right style for the time period :P
who cares, i personally find the item great with or without those pin-ups (even if they kinda look out of place).

Why on earth would you not sculpt the normals for this kind of thing? That normal map doesn't look good at all if i'm to be brutally honest with you here.
I mean crazybump is ok for some things, that fur you could probably get away with; but cloth folds are almost certainly going to look horribly unnatural. And they do in this case, invest your time in learning basic sculpting and baking from that and it'll look 1000% nicer.
[QUOTE=kibbleknight;43162168]your implying that this matters to the current subject. tf2 takes place in a time period were propaganda is extremely common. Therefore it fits.[/QUOTE]
Propaganda would have been extremely common, but it wouldn't have resembled those pin-ups in any way.
They look like a piece of tf2 fan art drawn by a masturbating teen.
[QUOTE=Gryn;43162182]Yeah, but it is not in the right style for the time period :P[/QUOTE]
i agree the execution is out of bounds, but the idea is what counts.
The Blu team's art is probably the closest design-wise to propaganda of the time, not revealing much other than the legs.

Someone should make that skin-tight suit for Pyro, for shits 'n' giggles. Plus it'd go great with the existing Rockso items.
a bit late for all this criticism on the jacket since its already confirmed to get in :v:
[QUOTE=dongalator;43162239]a bit late for all this criticism on the jacket since its already confirmed to get in :v:[/QUOTE]
There is still time to make changes, and it being pretty much confirmed for getting in is a pretty good reason to push for them if it still has glaring issues.
