Haha this contribution wave was just great (engi headphones what... are those?... what the?... how?.... I was shocked -> glad that they liked my suggested item name (probably it was the key ))
Congrats to those who were lucky this time and good luck to everyone in next wave.
Meanwhile wish me luck in finding Noors fireman's helmet (must have!!!)
Hi guys I'm new.. I'm modeling a spy hat in blender. I have a big problem tho. I'd need a model that contains the bip_head bone, but the obj file found in OP doesn't contain bones, and I can't open the other files (.max and .fbx). I tried decompiling the spy model, but I can't find a smd importer that works..
So I'm pretty stuck..
If anyone has a .blend file of the spy with bones and correct dimensions, it would be awesome.. Or maybe just a .3ds.. The deal is that it has to contain the bones.
Or maybe, you could suggest me a working smd importer, if you have one?
Here's a pic of the hat anyway.. It's kind of a joke about the spy :P
just browsed the tf2 wiki for the hats and can't think of any more funny hats. then after browsing this thread this resulted in even -2 less thinking of any more funny hats. so SCREW YOU creative people making awesome hats day after day !!!!
looks like a good start sharkisss, (though you can probably get away with posting 1 or 2 images instead of every possible angle and we'd get the idea
do you have access to visor? I don't but I'm not sure the brim connects to the band that way, I think it's sown on to the front, somethin to think about.
quick wip update, before texturing.........arrrgh...i wrote a whole bunch o comments and crits but the stupid page on preview post froze and i lost them..so maybe later.

crits always welcome.
I think your modeling is absolutely awesome.
However I don't see how that turban makes sense on Demoman, and I hope people won't draw racist conclusions on why you choose to put it on that class... You know... a colored person with a turban handling dangerous explosives...

I have to agree with that. Not that I agree with the idea, but there's ALWAYS someone willing to play the race card for no reason. Other than that the gem on the turban seems a little high on the polycount but that's just nitpicking, I'd use any of these hats any day.:thumbup:
Wow, that's funny. I'm part arab and I didn't even think about the whole turban explosives thing. I am loving those hats though ant, get em all done and submit
thank you for the comments.
I really appreciate the feedback, and pertinent points
the initial reason i modeled the "turban' is to match or compliment the big ass double handed scimitar i wanted for the demo.....and its actually a "Royal Persian" flavor mix i was going for.
Hahha nothing to do with explosives and more to do with flying carpets! in fact . inspired by a distant memory of *gasp* orphan annie's Punjab. not really race inspired at all. but delicious points!!!
So when are those WIP threads gonna be going up...curses to whoever thought of the slingshot lol. Was gonna use that as one of the items for my sniper 3 pack contest thing.
thank you for the comments.

poly (tri) count is 874
If you created a weapon and a hat in the same theme, create a third item in the same theme and you can enter the contest :O
Then again, I personally still think that your idea isn't related enough to Demoman's background neither as a cyklops, Scotsman, drunk, or demolitions expert :O
TOMM- Great first post! its looks great ...weird but great presentation!
sharkiss, gurrre, acumen ( big up urself) - all looks gud.
Yoplatz-- maybe u cud tweak the silhohete from the side, it looks a bit .. flat. add a bit of charicature and emphasis to the wolfs form around the snout (nose needs to be a wee bit longer) , the snarl area of the snout the brow and ears and teeth.
i think u cud add some more polygons to play with there as well.
this type of form might help to define it more ( random net image) this crossed wit 1950's warner brothers coyote wud rock!
this is my idea for a sniper rifle replacement, its lacking the scope so far, its also not in a proper tf2 color texture. but hey, it a rifle, its based off the lee engfeld a British/ Aussie rifle
anyone know how to get that classic tf2 texture? (also its not in triangles yet. my computer is in need of fixing)
Ive made a request in the other forum on how to get started with hat modeling with XSI (cos its the free one).
How about this Pyronaut NASA hat? Anyone want to have a bash at it?
Why don't you have a bash at it? Every modeler here had to start somewhere. If you have little to no modeling skill, then this would be the perfect time start practicing.
I think you're the only person that drew that conclusion.
And let's face it, it's a pretty silly conclusion...
Don't change the fact that it's an eastern culture clothing on a european Scotsman who expresses no particular interest in that culture.
I don't see any reason it would fit Demoman other than racist stereotypes of colored people. If he says it's from a cartoon, it's too far fetched. A lot of people won't notice such a reference and will naturally assume it's a stereotype, as most other things in TF2 are based on stereotypes.
No offense Ant, I know you had only well intentions.
N, P.i.g
-- sorry man. but dont stop it..keep going that'll be cool! heathly competition and all that , wat wat.
everything i'm gonna do is posted a couple o pages back. i aint doing any more than that ,, I gotta finds me a job after all.........so.....just a heads up to idea hunters.
simski --- hahah srsly!...nP dude! this aint all that srs bznss, and it was a valid point considering the U.S is the largest TF2 market lol..
ScudzAlmighty---cheers m8t!
i'm gonna share this yknow,,, I only just found out the sniper was supposed to be an aussie !! i always thought he was a cockney brit! ive been playin for a while 2!
his accent sucks and his saying's dont make sense here in OZ. it sounds like when the simpsons do an aussie accent or robert downly jnr ... they get it mixed with a kind of cockney/slang/brit hybrid. blow me down!!!

I'm very new to this, but here's my hat so far. It's supposed to be a wolf head.
I believed in you from the start Noors!
Gotta get it gotta get it!!
Oh and hats off to the folks who got their work in the game again.
do you have access to visor? I don't but I'm not sure the brim connects to the band that way, I think it's sown on to the front, somethin to think about.
(i toke out some photos)
Is this what u mean ?
This has been done before, but meh I wanted to make one myself.
The rope will be jiggleboned.
here's the latest hat doodles
Made me lol!
wire:
Really like this idea, can't wait to see the finished thing
i can only animate, i can't model for shit.
for the soilder, a solid snake hat, with eye goggle and mustache and such. can't beleive no one has done it yet.
ill provide a picture for reference
crits always welcome.
Seal-hat
Lizzard/dragon-hat
That's probably because it breaks all rules in the competition and does in no way fit into the game.
Bloodmoon, that seal hat is hilarious!

Simski-- hmmmmm....gud plan!! but i have to post in another thread and im reaaallllyyyy lazy.:shifty:
but.. moorish hand cannon coming up ...thanks!
Never put the time into these that they deserved, and I only submitted the sniper hat... But figured I'd share.

lol just kidding...I might play with the idea of a slingshot more...

How about this Pyronaut NASA hat? Anyone want to have a bash at it?
A few more mockups...
let me know what you think! should i continue on or start with a new one?
I think you're the only person that drew that conclusion.

Awesome work on the Pyro chef hat
Daimao did a similar one a long time ago, although I believe your one fits the TF2 theme a bit better.
Good work though
