I would love to have it still lit, but I'm not sure how to go about those effects. Not to mention having it go out if you're underwater, or any other little thing like that :S
I actually really like it as is. The fact that the flower is just slightly singed really looks nice. IMO a lit flower is too extreme and a normal flower is to girly. Anyways, good job and keep up the great work
I simply liked it better before.
I preferred the flower to look good, because it made the hat look good.
True that the Tf2 items tend to look somewhat broken, such as the broken horn on the Tyrants... However I thought the scorched part of the hat was enough, with the flower scorched too it looked too excessive and not very pretty anymore.
I thought the whole point of the hat WAS to look somewhat girly, and to make fun of the whole "pyro is a girl" conspiracy thing.
The scorched part of the hat was a nice touch that somewhat made it less feminine, but the scorched flower ruined the feminine part completely and just made it look like something he found in the trash. Not to mention how I liked the flower better when team-colored.
I would somehow combine the burn marks from the flower and the brim, or pick either one. I agree that two separate big burn marks is rather excessive and distracting.
ARG! I don't know how to feel. For the life of me, I can't get textures to show up in-game. I used to be able to bring in props and all the no problem... but I guess I'm out of touch.
But they work as big purple checkered models! That's a step forwards!
And I'll try and post an update to the hat... try and find a happy medium with that damn flower
I like how you slipped your random banjo entry in thar...
and that hat remains gender neutral... what Mental Moron said flowers are only for women?
they sure as hell taste good though...
The head trimmer needs some work, the beads look a bit tacky and the white wrap looks out of place... but Ican't really say so if it stacks up ingame.
(in short, post some ingame shots.)
Ok, I'll be altering the colours so they aren't so.... off. As well, I'll re-work the scythe.
I think I will stick with the general outcome of the hat (unless someone gives me some wicked-cool inspiration). Seems to be no pleasing with the burns and the flower.
Also, the items have all been in-game, I'm just too out of touch to get textures working
I liked the original concept of the hat, with the slight scorch on the side.
The team color was more apparent, and the scorched flower just looks ugly
I think all the people complaining about it being "too feminine for Pyro" have completely forgotten all about his feminine losing animation, all the speculation about him possibly being a woman, the purse that he might be the owner of, and how Valve switches between referring to him as a him or a her.
well, after much deliberation, I've decided to re-unwrap the griefblower. It was ugly and hard to deal with, with much wasted space. No fun... but gotta practice somehow. Update soon!
Awesome show. And I thought id post before my thread is the last one in the forum. Haven't been working on this much... end of semester at the college I work at.
BUT.
Re-unwrapped, and started on new textures.
Lots of new little bits n pieces added to make it interesting, it was exceptionally boring up close.
I am confident in my lack of chance of even coming anywhere near what the winners are going to have, but might as well stick with it. Not much to do anyhow
Well, I cleaned up some junk, and submitted. I've been busy with work, and finally get a break, which is being spent camping out in the woods. No softimage out there!
Just wanted to give a super high-five to everyone who took the time to check it out, and give some critique. And high-fives to everyone else, as well
since your pack is so awesome already, i'm not even going to pretend i can help with the design or theme. So i thought about it, and i came up with some stats for weapons.
***Grief-blower/Griefblower***
-30% airblast cost
-10% primary ammo
airblast can rapid fire
stream of fire is thinner
***Head-Trimmer***
Longer melee range
+20% damage
+35% attack speed
Is it okay to call it the "horticultural horror" pack?
-20% damage from environmental sources

I think the side of the hat being scorched was enough, the scorched flower is a bit excessive and it kinda makes the hat look less pretty >:
Also, not sure if I like the new texture better.
It looks a bit too detailed, however I might still be wrong.
It's awesome now
thats because your a girl.
.... i think.... maby.
but never the less. make the flower be On fire. not scorched.

Not secret, just chillin'
he's got his 3 items.
Just make the tape team-colored and call it a day.

Yeah I also would like to see him use the head-trimmer. Looks awesome.

And because of this "why don't you give HER shot" it's more likely you are going to win.
here's where she is right meow.
