Actually come to think of it, if you're wanting to use Greenlight as a way of building a community then using money as a metric of interest/value is maybe wrong. On one of the recent GDC One Life Left podcasts Charles Cecil mentioned that one of the highest contributors to the Broken Sword Kickstarter (maybe the highest…
I wouldn't be working on a TF2 Map every spare moment I get if I wasn't a fan. humm I applaud the effort and I like the style, but the upper body is too bulky for a crowbar wielding "scientist" I would imagine Gordon being a lot skinnier and having the body type of a sniper or a spy.

To answer the questions in OP though, I use Marmoset for real time and either Max MR rendering or ZBrush BPR for high resolution which came from a tutorial by Vitaly Bulgarov.

@oobersli: The short and fat silhouette would be awesome, I was actually thinking of doing it that way. It could work for 200 health points like the Soldier; since he's the only one. But, I really want her to be like the poster on the wall though, so I'm gonna work the sleeker silhouette. As for the weapon, I went with the…

Saf, I tried to plug in the path in both sublime project file (in my case RigLibrary.sublime-project) and in Jedi settings file (sublime_jedi.sublime-settings). I ended up just plugging the path everywhere I could in these files, but it still doesn't work. What am I missing? Where specifically should I put the path?…
I have run into some confusion on when is a static mesh actually an instance where it is reducing its draw calls in the project.
