You just love coming up with new ways to write my name huh?
[QUOTE=SageJFox;50379266]Snip-O[/QUOTE] Alright. I was running with the idea that they had brought it with them. Spanish were in the area when theses civilizations were around and they had glass. As for the honey cone, I'd approach this by just not modeling it. I'd paint some sweet ass diffuse maps and then maybe create a normal map from your diffuse. Bee's again aren't complicated. [QUOTE=Pagliacci;50379303]Heads up, I'm also making a bee jarate with fiveflies [t]http://i.imgur.com/BCaK0dX.png[/t][/QUOTE] Oh, That's awesome to hear!
[QUOTE=Sims_doc;50378605]While we are on the subject of bee's they would work very well as a unusual effect.[/QUOTE] I might be able to pull off something like that, even though there is already another fly-like effect.

[QUOTE=gigazelle;50379015]Or a flamethrower [video=youtube;6eWTKA2ko7U]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6eWTKA2ko7U[/video][/QUOTE] This is the most horrifying mod I've ever seen and I love it
I feel like dinosaur pelt clothing would be a pretty cool fit. Not actual dinosaur costumes, but stuff that's clearly made from dinosaurs. Pelts and teeth and stuff. I feel like "undiscovered ancient civilization with prehistoric beasts" might be a more prominent trope in my mind then it is in actual fiction, though. There's King Kong at least which has the native tribe and dinosaurs and giant ape.

The very, very earliest human ancestor fossils are around 6 million years old. The Mayan civilization began about 3 [I]thousand[/I] years ago. Dinosaurs have literally [I]nothing[/I] to do with the human species, let alone the Mayans! Sorry to be a bit of a dick about it, it just gets to me that there's any doubt about dinosaurs being completely off-theme.
In my opinion an item that fits the theme well should be instantly iconic of that theme. If I look at an item without knowing about the Mayan theme, I should be able to first try guess that it belongs to a Mayan/Incan/Olmec/Whatever theme. When I look at the dinosaur outfit, I would never guess that. Same goes for a lot of other items/concepts posted so far.
As long as we're discussing the theme, how closely do pulpy B movies about explorers tie in with the theme? The theme is Meso-American civilizations, but pith helmets and binoculars and lite Indiana Jones stuff is here in bulk.

As long as they're justifiably related to the theme, I don't see the harm in including them. That said, I would want those items to be very much in the minority of the items actually accepted into the game as part of a Mayann update, and right now, they probably take up something like a quarter of the collection. I think in the next couple of months, the amount of Mesoamerican-themed submissions should continue to rise, while very little additional previously-made content will be included.
[QUOTE=Sims_doc;50373435]Oh, I've updated this with two more items. -album-[/QUOTE] that first pic with the scout with the bloody face, that makes me think is anyone working on a Mayan face paint/bloody smear sort of deal? That seems like it'd be a pretty neat idea

[QUOTE=MAJekyllson;50381182]Dinosaurs went extinct 65 million years ago.[/QUOTE] [URL="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bird"]I like being pedantic and contrarian.[/URL] Jewelry made from teeth and clothes from animal pelts are also stereotypes of tribal or primtive civilizations, although it isn't directly Mayan.
[QUOTE=Pesky-Plumber;50337618]So I've changed a few things on my Kali Ma taunt for the Medic, most notably the start is different and the timing is a little slower. Don't worry too much about the head gib, it's just there as a test for the heart when the taunt is polished enough. [video=youtube;5T8IG7KuO_4]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5T8IG7KuO_4[/video] Let me know what you think. If the animation needs more work, please let me know what parts of it need the most improving on. Thank you! Also, While it's more of an Adventurer theme than Mayan, an idea I had was a map taunt for all classes. Where each class would react differently to the map, like the Soldier being confused, Pyro wanting to burn it, Sniper reading it with ease and so on.[/QUOTE] I don't know if it's relevant here but about animation.. [url]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/12_basic_principles_of_animation[/url] i think people who want to animate thing should take a look at this. After all, it still concerns animation, right?

Would a rainbow unusual fit the jungle theme?
[QUOTE=Pagliacci;50387398]Would a rainbow unusual fit the jungle theme?[/QUOTE] Perhaps with some white clouds or rain mist around it
up for grabs [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/hf1doaY.jpg[/IMG] Should be extremely easy to make using the rainblower particles. I'd do it myself but I don't have time to learn particle editor.

If any modelers are looking for inspiration, there's a famous stucco portrait head of the Mayan ruler Pacal that would make for a terrific Solemn Vow reskin. You could call it the Royal Pain or something: [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/FkW0QDY.png[/IMG]

[QUOTE=Pawlakov;50396455][URL="http://mayannproject.com/guidelines"]Mayann project's guielines.[/URL] Can anyone say something more about this?[/QUOTE] Last Monday they mentioned the pack is still in the works and shaping up to be the largest yet. I'm very much looking forward to seeing what has been made.
We are very close now, to finishing the pack! The release will be announced here, and in the project's website. Expect it in the next 3-5 days.

I believe JPRAS meant the prop pack for map makers, not the whole Mayann Project.
