[QUOTE=NeoDement;51608113]If it looks better in taunt poses but still looks passable in weapon poses, I'm just gonna put taunt poses. Why would anyone make their item look any worse just to satisfy the needs of a handful of people? You're gonna get more votes by showing the item at it's nicest.
[editline]1st January 2017[/editline]
No ref poses though, if it doesn't look good in any ingame poses at all then it probably needs a rework lol[/QUOTE]
Because if your item doesn't look good in the stances seen 95% of the time on classes then maybe negative votes are deserved? No? There's a large difference between exclusively weapon poses and exclusion of weapon poses. It's fine to showcase the best poses but to completely avoid showing weapon poses is borderline vote manipulation (intentional exclusion of the standard poses to mask item flaws)

I tend to do ref poses from basic angles, and then some poses with the item with other items.
Make everyone happy, and I don't end up with a billion pictures just to show the item off.
Like this more or less. Though this particular image was meant to be replaced.I needed an image and I just forgot to replace it with something of higher quality.

[QUOTE=Kitt Stargaze;51606961]The coat style itself looks nice, but the coat looks... Awkwardly proportioned compared to his arms in the second picture. Looks rather bulky for spy's body build.[/QUOTE]
it looks like its supposed to lay ON TOP of the spies normal clothes, but its still rigged like a normal coat, so i look really weird

vote manipulation? lol. do you think that h&m/asos/american eagle/any other fashion or clothing website is ~pulling some bullshit~ by showing their fashion models wearing clothes standing in angles that make the clothes look good??
a pair of jeans and a hoodie arent going to look good if the store page shows the model wearing them sitting at work at a desk covering his clothes with his pose, but they do look good if they intentionally use pleasing angles to show off the items of clothing
when was the last time you heard a player say "damn that item on the workshop looked good in the hlmv taunt poses but looks like shit in weapon anims.."? ticket boy i guess? even then the item basically doesn't work at all in most poses and clips horribly, which is another case entirely.
i mean people can literally download the mod version of neodement's items (can't speak for other people) and see what they look like in game, i don't think i've ever seen someone say "damn looks good on the workshop but doesn't look good when im holding a weapon"
if the item doesn't clip horribly or deform so much that it becomes [I][B]significantly[/B][/I] worse than advertised while in weapon poses, 99% of players (the people who actually buy/wear them) aren't going to care. tf2 classes don't really look good in weapon anims anyway.

Have you considered that real humans stand straight because they don't hold rocket launchers and they aren't modelled onto a low poly character you fuckin idiot?
It's witholding of information, for an item to be accepted into a game seeing what it looks like is pretty important, if people weren't held to that standard of making items we'd have a game full of horribly clipping poorly contoured shirts and cosmetics. oh wait

lol surely you understand what i'm trying to say? when you're trying to sell a product you make it look as good as it can be without being significantly misleading, that's it. i'm not saying that tf2 characters = human beings
of course if your item clips horribly and you use specific poses to cover it up, then yeah that's withholding information and you should be suspicious but tbh tf2 weapon poses look fucking horrible, they have horrible clipping, deformation and rigging errors all over them. i don't think that excluding them entirely is wise but you can't blame contributors for advertising their items in a way that makes them look their best as long as it isnt specifically intended to be misleading.
Holy shit dude chill out, haven't we reached the point where you can just assume people do their own quality checks (especially contributors as experienced as neo)

Let's remember a thing.
Even Valve itself is not immune from clipping, look at the Eyelander holding pose for example, but clocely.

Or even better, the Pyro's fingers sticking through the Flaregun(s).
How about the All-Father
And how that clips through 90% of everything

Some concept art would be really nice, it would help to know what that grip is supposed to be made out of.

Sim doc's original concept art for the gun. It's based on the actual thing, except the back part is made of rubber instead (in addition to working like a normal pistol rather than a 1 shot backup).
