I get the feeling that Halloween this year is going to be insane for items,

Now that people know the limit for more extreme cosmetics has sort of been lifted. due to the permanent restrictions. i feel like there's going to be some really awesome/crazy/gross stuff.

Plus iv'e always loved the fuck out of Halloween updates/build up for TF2.[/QUOTE]

Is that why your avatar appears to be fat zombie engi?

Is it a lack of $replacebone lines in the qc? Or are those there?

You need a bonetree collapse qc command. The character skeletons for lower lods dont have finger bones and such so anything rigged to those bones do that.

Also, cross post from Cosmic Conquest thread.

[QUOTE=TheJukebox;45270242]Set the sticky launcher aside for something I'm more interested in.

Originally designed around the motion sensor from Alien, ended up not very close to it though.

[QUOTE=Dat Lobo;45266775]Well, I got back my old files of the weapons I was in the middle of doing, but I cannot UV to save my life and I am not a very good texturer in the TF2 artstyle. Anyone else wanna take it over from here? Both of these are up for grabs.

Indeed, those rooms are unfinished (they don't even have walls beyond what's seen through the door, heh).

Though isn't a nuthouse just a Mental Health Hospital with wings and wards of it's own?

I have a bad habit of getting item ideas in the middle of making item sets.

I have my anti-armour sniper in the works, and then I decide I want to make a Mick Taylor sniper:

please clear things up here, im genuinely confused. weren't you working on a rocket launcher a while ago? I have honest to god no idea what your current projects actually are, they look good but i haven't seen one finished yet.

i would like to see a finished project from you. would be nice =(

[QUOTE=KayoDuck;45272151]Uh, how it's the sniper? This image doesn't show too much of it, just look like normal rifle to be honest[/QUOTE]

The rifle is a Tikka 595 .308. And when I say "Wolf Creek Sniper" I mean making the hat with the bullet hole, a flannel shirt, perhaps the scraggly beard, a bowie and the rifle.

But only after my anti-armour set is done.

So I've always been interested in modeling things for TF2 and I get some basics of modeling, but never understood entirely how to get a model in a TF2 style along with all the other things needed (UVs). I tried to make a fedora for Scout last emporium, but was unsuccessful and gave up on it since it wasn't in a way I wanted it. Is there a particular guide of how to start and learn?

1. Create and idea. Keep it in your head or draw it on a base model(Scout, pyro, heavy, sniper, etc)
2. Create the model or have someone else do it for you(If someone else does it you are done)
3. Create LODs and rig it
4. UV unwrap and give it flat shading.
5. Get the Photoshop plugin that gives you the TF2 brush-stroke
6. Compile it and test it(If that does not work, guess what? You get to restart from step 2)
7. Done? Release it on the Steam Workshop and/or the Emporium.

Create LoDs once the model is pretty much final and you're done adding stuff to it, and UVing.

[Inspecter]

And I only have half a halloween concept, the other half belongs to retro since it was a collab between us. I'll probably draw more though, but I need ideas.

[Noble Voice]

You guys want an idea for a Halloween themed weapons?

here's one:
[sp]some sort of sniper rifle that has a leg from knee down attached to the rifle as a stock[/sp]

Not really sure where to ask this as it pertains to retexturing of a model that is being used in Gmod (the hatchet model from the Stranded gamemode, to be specific), so I figure I'll ask it here because you guys are awesome with modelling programs and such.

I'm using 3DS Max to look at the SMD of the hatchet's w_model (not getting into the c_model yet because there's a bloody arm attached to it. It's basically a viewmodel renamed to be a "c" model) and I want to try retexturing it.

Here's the current texture for the "Iron" hatchet from the Stranded gamemode:

[IMG]http://i.imgur.com/PMSwidz.png[/IMG]

It gets worse. Look at the "Copper" hatchet texture:

[IMG]http://i.imgur.com/tjOxHrx.png[/IMG]

So I want to retexture this thing. I've got the SMD loaded up in 3DS Max and I vaguely remember someone telling me a few years ago to click "Modifiers", "UV Co-ordinates", then "Unwrap UVW" to view the unwrapped texture outline.

Here's where I've hit a brick wall of confusion. With the current textures being....those things....I'm guessing I have to use that Unwrap UVW thing to re-wrap the UVW to where each part of the model has it's own little section of the texture. I am most likely wrong in my guess.

How would I go about modifying the layout of the texture and making it "stick" when I save the SMD so I can retexture it? And is there any sort of way to generate a "sheet" texture of the new UVW map with everything laid out already so I can just pop it into Photoshop and start texturing?

[editline]edit[/editline]
i dun goof'd, i'm using 3DS Max 2013. shoulda mentioned that.
