It's a shame because the designer seemed pretty competent. The pants are fucking incredible and the gloves are almost ok, but that head...
This would've worked much better for Pyro or Scout, since they have removable bodyparts and they could've made a skeleton inside, and then an outer translucent layer.
A lot like the Glob

Those thumbnails are pretty clickbaity too, nothing in them is possible in-game, waaaaaaaaaay too much paintover.

I'm pretty damn sure it would be possible to achieve with a second layer of faces, pushed a bit outside, with inverted normals (for the face I mean).
It's just poor execution.
Colored phong and rim light would also be cool but I don't think that's possible.

So you mean like this? With the black being over the Medic's face (kinda like it is now) with a layer of orange over? That might push the poly limit, who knows.

[sp]jesus thats a horrible drawing[/sp]
sparkwire said on reddit that he ran out of resources to achieve that effect, and the project was initially discarded/set aside when valve announced their new policy for this halloween. still, it might have been a better hat for pyro purely because of the head bodygroup.
I admit though, i did vote that set purely based on the thumbnails without really checking the ingame shots...

Honestly I don't think there was any way for the item to be reasonably done without bodygroups, His head is too large to just model a skull over it aswell as an orange cover to it all. The thumbnails paint over this so the orange appears to surround a black skull, when in reality it's just the skull painted onto the same mesh as the orange.

All of that effort went into the paintover and not the item.
That's duplicitous as shit, they really should have scrapped it instead of attempting to deceive the public.

This is a meh to me
its my opnion becuase well for a misc for the headless horsemen hat
you can just wear the vodoo demo and you will look like headless horsemen kind of becuase the skeleton is showing and his shows too

This taunt is kind of useless to me
but if it kills count me in

This thread is for workshop items that have little to no effort put into them, not about ones you don't personally like.

That is true I know the taunt one was put in effort
but the misc for demo i think maybe....
What about you guys decisions?
I feel like it absolutely had effort put into it. It looks nice and it's fitting with the rest of the Horsemann set of items
Wait a min...
i saw this before but without the texture in a thread but i forgot what thread it was.

I think what Crystal Blitz is trying to say that the misc had effort put into it, but is un-necessary? Not too sure. Anyways, about the item itself, it's awesome, but I don't know if it's my computer or not, but the texture looks a little bland and undetailed. Again, it's probably my computer but I think you should put a more purple, withered feel to it, at least I think that's what's the Horsemann's gloves are.

That's not slop either...
its bad in a way that it makes the torso of the scout long as hell for absolutely no reason at all.
its also the kind of items that you absolutely MUST show in action, either as a gif or in a video. hell, all the love the item got in first place was thanks to the video ike showed when it was still in development.

Wow. Like, ~22 seconds of intro and ~15 seconds of outro on a 44 second video.
[QUOTE=HazzaHardie;48936715]the original is even worse

a 20 second intro of text and black screen followed by 9 seconds of taunt demonstration and the remaining is the same as the intro
I'm triggered :unimpressed:
Other than that the concept isnt THAT bad or anything but hot diggity the execution is lacking.
