Model Tyker's Custom Hats and Misc items

[TheTurnip]

Third looks too plain, I prefer 1 or 2.

 

[YM]

Third. One looks hideously wrong, 2 looks like carpet.

You do need some kind of detail though it's a tiny bit plain without it. I believe most hats have one of the flame textures overlayed as a detail texture? or just look at hats like the tyrolean/billycock etc

 

[Tyker]

I did have the flame texture overlay on it, although it could only be see on the bottom.
I finally just decided to put a veeeeeery slight gradient in it, just like the other spy hats. I am not touching the fez any more now, I'm not having fun working on it anymore.

On to the next subject though:

So the name is Hermes' Heel. But will it just be for decoration or can somebody find a good purpose for it?

 

[HeaH]

You don't actually have to give it a purpose. Valve handles that...

 

[Tyker]

Yes I do. They can change it if they want to, they have even changed names that were submitted with certain items, but it must have some purpose. I can't just say: 'Here, you guys figure something out'.

From TF2 contribute site:

Game Balance
"Wait," you might be thinking, "won't this ruin the balance of the game with tons of overpowered weapon designs?" Nope. The contribute feature is exclusively for model design. The TF2 team will take your submitted content and incorporate it into the gameplay in a way that makes the most sense for TF2. (You can submit gameplay ideas for new items, just like you've always been able to, by emailing us or posting them on the TF2 forums.)

I think this is new btw. Something they changed after the Polycount contest. They must have been getting too many crazy ideas

 

[Tyker]

Well, this thing is pretty much done too. If nobody has any objections!

 

[Tyker]

So all I have to do now is finish off my scuba hat and this group of items is done. But I have some trouble getting a good colour for the scuba gear.

Wich one do you like?

 

[J4CK8]

I really like the scuba gear, I think 3 and 4 assuming you're making a red and blu version.

 

[RavenStryker]

I agree with J4CK8, 3 and 4 would be the best colors for teams versions. Just do not stick with grey DO NOT DO IT!~

 

[Tyker]

Yay or nay?

 

[Tinker]

I like it!

 

[Seba]

I liked the yellow (#2) version :|

 

[DaBeatzProject]

I liked the yellow (#2) version :|

Yeah this.

 

[lana]

I think RED should have a yellow version, but BLU should keep their blue scuba gear.

 

[Tyker]

I think I'll make a neutral yellow texture too then. However, I think giving yellow to red and blue to blu will just confuse people.

[EDIT]
Also, to Seba and beatz: I posted the .gif with the colours so people could reply what they liked and then I would build that. You should've replied to that so I knew what people would like!

 

[Seba]

But I did reply t that :C

 

[Tyker]

So, this is an alternative neutral texture?

 

[Tinker]

Try keeping the yellow for the goggles, but have the pipe be teamcoloured?

 

[Tyker]

Woah, time flies.

I finally released the wings and the scuba for public download if anyone is still interested!
