Somethin like this?

Also, I edited the mesh a little so it looked a bit less bland

Hey guys, haven't posted in a while!

Here's a WIP of a Saxton Hale model I've been working on.

(click for big)

Still lacks HWM flexes and some texture tweaks.

[FiveEyes]

His arms don't seem to be as muscular as they should be.

[SediSocks]

Glad to see someone taking a go at another Saxton model, it's looking pretty good so far!

I made a paintover of some changes I'd recommend:

(Also [URL="https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/11945129/ShareX/2017/02/paintoveranim.gif"]here's [/URL]a little animated comparison)

Some bulletpoints:
- Needs some sharper forms overall, the pants especially look a bit lumpy
- Nose needs to be a bit less bulbous, if you look at [URL="http://mobyfrancke.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/066.jpg"]Moby's portrait[/URL] you can see the bridge is slightly flattened.
- Hands also look like they need thickening up

The biggest issue is that the demo moves to far away from his origin and way to fast, and because of that I can't see this getting in the game.

There will also likely be big issues with you reuploading on his behalf. I feel like valve wouldn't exactly be too keen paying someone who didn't create the item, regardless of them allowing it.

[TheFORBIDDENF]

Yeah.... But it's the only option they have really cause they only have a pay pal and don't have the documents to get paid correctly so I will be just sending them the revenue over paypal

[Punchy]

Have their parents or legal guardian sign off on it.

This will fit the Soldier's animations right? The old VSH model needs to be replaced.

His anatomy is pretty far off what he looks like in the comics, feel free to take some notes from this thing i put together 2 years ago, i tried to be as accurate as i could
[img]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/39556064/concepts/Characters/HaleSilhouetteColor.jpg[/img]
(the idea here was to fit him to soldiers rig but scale him up while keeping the head the same size)
[t]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/39556064/concepts/Characters/SaxtonHaleScales.jpg[/t]

also i'd recommend doing the chest hair and stubble more like a soft solid color, you dont really see anything noisy like that on the other characters

his pants are also riding very low, i tried to keep them waist high, and while he's sometimes depicted wiht them somewhat lower i think you should aim to have them relatively hihg up
I realize you've gotten pretty far and full characters are tough ofc (especially half naked ones where you can't simplify wiht clothes) but i hope you're up for some reiteration casue we already have plenty of almost accurate hales by now

[JPRAS]

Thanks for the feedback guys! I've already started to buff him up more in the arms and abs, even though my intentions initially were to make him a bit more lean rather than a 1:1 copy from the comics. I'll post some progress pics soon!

^ totally agree with this,
I did a bit of a paintover on Sedi's paintover, figured the face needed some altering.

and here is an extra frowny Hale.

I was aiming for a sort of creased - up look, similar to this

But if you want me to change it, then that's fine

i see that you've deleting the submission now, but i'd urge you to not do this again in the future.

it's a violation of the steam workshop agreement and very impractical, if your friend wants to contribute to TF2 they must fully fill out their revenue and tax information

TF2 revenue can range from hundreds of dollars to hundreds of thousands of dollars, earning this money on his behalf would run you in to a lot of tax issues (as in, you'd have to pay his taxes every year) and sending it via paypal would be dangerous.

of course it's easy to think "well, the item probably won't get in/probably won't make a lot of money" but personally i believe that you should treat every item as if it's going to get accepted just to be safe.

Okay I didn't think about it that way cause it was late but thank you for letting me know further. I will let them know of this asap

there's a lot of things to consider when adapting him from the comics into 3d for sure, and going more for a lean take is probably good, the one i did was going more for hulking so could def get away wiht something slimmer

something id suggest when it comes to his anatomy though is starting out with the larger shapes and working yourself down towards detail, getting the sorta tapering look on the arms, legs and torso down first then blocking out the muscles that would affect his silhouette, and perhaps rely less on normals to define his muscles.

In both the case of tf2 stylization and the type of build id assume he'd have I think the bulk should take a lot of priority over definition, more along the lines of a strongman build than a body builder one

ring of fired is probably the most helpful when it comes to muscle refs, but id say the proportions, especially his big feet and head need to be adjusted to suit the game style

What resolution is that texture? For just base colors there's a lot of artifacts visible already.

For translucency use a separate VMT file with [URL="https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/$translucent"]$translucent[/URL]

[QUOTE=Gadget | TF2M;51840710]What resolution is that texture? For just base colors there's a lot of artifacts visible already.[/QUOTE]

Yeah, It's on low and there's overlapping colours. I'm not bothered by it.

But, I'm considering adding rust to it because of the oranges bleeding into the metals.

May I have a go? Sounds like you'd want an Orbiting Balloonicorn with a Rainbow Trail?

if your payment info is in someone else's name and you get an item ingame under that payment info, there is no way to change your payment info when you set up your own bank account and the like
