[QUOTE=blaholtzen;47041824]I like that, could call it "The Rebel", or some punny thing based on the common phrase "Rebel Without a Cause" I'm not the best at puns though...[/QUOTE]

[QUOTE=blaholtzen;47041302]that's the point.. it's meant to be a single colored uniform underneath the jacket. the shading does enough to set them apart imo, and if that's not enough they will be moving independently ingame

the bomber jacket looking good takes priority over th pouches imo, you barely even think about them atm, tried adding straps but that jsut looked bad, i'd rather just have subtle mysteriously floating ppouches than belts and straps that ruin the look of the jacket

my first thought was some sort of hat, but after realizing soldier has every kind of military hat i jsut figured a nice 40's hairdo would [i]do[/i] and i really like how it all turned out :)

and none so far

Oh whoops, honestly thought it was 2 articles of clothing since the open coat bits made me think they were separate

separate parts ofc, jacket and pants, but part of a single uniform, hence the same color, and then the bomber on top of that

ahh! I see that now. Maybe it would be more readable if the bomber jacket was slightly open and you could see the brown uniform underneath? That way I think you would make the connection between the upper and lower part better.

Here is a very quick sketch, maybe the jacket could be slightly more open and a bit looser then what I have sketched.

Base colors for an adventurer engi set. I have a wrench and pistol to go with it but they aren't unwrapped yet and i'll be debating whether i include them or not anyways

the watch thing is a compass, and i might mess with the bag to make it less simple but yeah just hopefully i can rig it well[/QUOTE]

I've already created a wristband mesh that would work really well to mount the compass on

Thanks! However, i was basing the strap on nathan drakes type of wristwatch from uncharted, so i'd prefer to stick with its design.

idk, dont really like it, clutters up the middle there and if i open it up the default belt and bandolider will still have to be under there considering hwo its rigged and how bulky it'd be otherwise

either way you wont see the chest that much anyway in normal play. I also dont really see how you would get confused over what the brown collar and brown coat tails were doing there, it makes perfect sense to me that theres a jacket under the bomber, especially considering he wears and identical red one by deafult. Another thing is it drags a lot more attention to the brown jacket which is the oposite of what i want to do, the bomber is the primary item, the jacket underneath is mostly there cause it needs to be, so keeping that simple and uninteresting is better

also the buttons are horrid and ultra cluttery whateven

in short, too much work for a relatively small, and in my opinion overexplanitory, detail

It's good, but I'm not really sure why you'd wear a jacket on top of another jacket, especially when TF2 mostly takes place in the desert.

I guess I'm the only one who didn't understand what was going on with the brown jacket right away. My mind has the red jacket hardwired, so I thought my suggestion was making that easier (for my brain) to understand. Fair enough, it is bringing more attention to the brown jacket, but that's mostly due to the golden buttons I added (since WWII uniforms had those), a more discreet color would remedy that while still providing that connection between both brown areas. I think the red jacket stands out either way, mainly due to the fact that there is a brown jacket serving as the backdrop and it provides a great contrast.
Anyway, if it's a non-issue forget I ever mentioned it. I was just trying to help, I love the concept either way.

I really like the new receiver, its something i haven't seen done yet. It could use some more bolts/screws on it though.

As for the rest of it, I realize the whole point of this is that its an improvised weapon and all, but honestly the logs for the pump and stock aren't really helping the design. If it was more of an old worn out/beat up actual pump and stock maybe, but the fact they are just logs is really off-putting.

I would suggest something like an old beat up stock with visible wear on the grip from years of use, and the butt of the stock is beat up and splitting at the end.

[QUOTE=Norman3D;47041264]Thanks blaholtzen for the feedback. Despite the amount of favorable votes the informative has gotten, I still prefer the wrench icon one. I think the dark undershirt might still look weird and a short sleeve, white undershirt would look better.

Something like this:

I will, I will! It still needs some work, though. Still need to do LODs, blue variation and skinning.

I still get purple and black textures for both teams.

Are your vmts in those locations and pointing to the right vtf? Does your model have the right material name?

-snip-

I got it working. Thanks.

The problem was that I renamed the material to the style that imported game files have (models/weapons/c_items/c_ambassador_opt.bmp)

And I did not change it back to "c_minirevolver" after doing the change that Gadget suggested.

Added some more stuff to this set FiveEyes and I are working on:
