I tried, the creators are OG tf2 and now Dota2 and CSGO modelers. Didn't recieve an answer. But yeah, the last mentioned is absolutely GONE from the internet.

Youd have to ask the original creators. More recent models are likelier available as mods. :/

Oh ok, I'm searching CURSED models, mostly joke ones, that used to roam the sfm/gmod/tf2 communities. Top priority "The motherly father"

depends on what you are looking for. Need some deets.

I am searching a hex model, hope you could help me with it

i peretz

Solt

I KNOW HOW YOU FEEL. :)

I get inspired seeing others make great pieces! Hope to see more from the community!

HEY SO SORRY FOR THE LATE REPLY IDK IF I ANSWERED OR NOT BUT HERE IT IS, THANKS FOR RESPONDING, AND YOUR WELCOME. BUT STILL, THAT SUCKS ABOUT DOUG'S MODEL BUT I GET IT, THE ONE('S) I'M TRYING TO WORK ON ARE GIVING ME FITS.

I'M (TRYING TO FIND HAIR VARIENTS). SO I GET WHY YOUR SCRAPPED YOURS, ANYWAYS, GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR PROJECTS NONE THE LESS. :)

Which one?

Hey there Kumquat I was wondering if you'd mind if I used your model in a couple YouTube videos. Its not set in stone that id use it but I wanted to check with you first, of course your name and those who took part in making it would be in the description.

HI GORYGIRL, THANK YOU FOR REACHING OUT TO ME! I REMEMBER WE DID TALK TO EACH OTHER BEFORE ON STEAM WHEN WORKING ON A FEW MODEL PORTS. I AM GLAD TO HEAR YOU HAVE TAKEN AN INTEREST IN THAT RATTMAN MODEL, BUT THAT PROJECT IS FAIRLY OLD AND HAD TO BE SCRAPPED. THERE WERE PARTS TO IT THAT HAD MANY LIMITATIONS THAT WERE BEYOND MY SKILL LEVEL AT THE TIME TO BUILD INTO A SEMI-DECENT MODEL HACK. WHILE I DO WANT TO RETURN TO 3D MODELLING, I AM SPENDING A LOT MORE TIME EXPLORING OTHER MODELS AND IDEAS. I CAN HELP WITH SMALLER WORKS, BUT I AM NOT AVAILABLE TO WORK ON OR EVEN DIRECTLY FIX MODELS. I APOLOGIZE THAT MY ANSWER WAS SO LATE, BUT FOR NOW, I AM FOCUSING A BIT MORE ON MY PERSONAL MENTAL HEALTH. THANK YOU FOR REACHING OUT!

AS A CLARIFYING MESSAGE TO MOST IF NOT EVERYONE HERE, I AM NOT CURRENTLY WORKING ON ANYTHING (YET). I HAVE BEEN WORKING ON MYSELF.

DID YOU USE ANY REFERENCE IMAGES FOR THE MODELING PROSSES?

I'M ASKING BECAUSE I HAVE YET TO SEE A YOUNG/SHAVED AND/OR OLDER AND BEARDED VERSION OF HIM IN SFM OR GMOD. AND WANNA EITHER FIND SOMONE WHO'S MADE HIM ALREADY AND IS WILLING TO GIVE HIM TO US.

OR IF ANYTHING, AT LEAST A MODEL THAT LOOKS ENOUGH LIKE HIM TO USE...[IF YOU KNOW OF ANY MODELS THAT ARE ALREADY OUT THEN I'D LIKE TO SEE THEM PLEASE, IF POSSIBLE].

SO SORRY TO BOTHER YOU I KNOW THIS IS RANDOM AS HECK, I JUST DON'T KNOW TOO MANY MODELERS, PLUS IDK WHERE TO FIND A BASE THAT LOOKS LIKE HIS BEARDLESS SELF OR HIS BEARD AT ALL LO.

HOPE YOU HAVE A WONDERFUL DAY AND NIGHT, PLEASE FORGIVE ANY TYPOS/GRAMMAR MISTAKES IF ANY ARE PRESENT. AND SORRY IF I COME OFF A RUDE OR ANYTHING I'M NOT TRYING TO BE. :)

HEY I JUST WANTED TO LET U KNOW I SAW UR WORK OMN DA AND I LOVE IT! [NOT TYPING LIKE THIS TO YELL, I'M LEGALLY BLIND, AND THIS HELPS ME SEE MY WRITING BETTER].

THIS MAY SEEM ODD SINCE WE DON'T KNOW EACHOTHER BUT I'M JUST CURIOUS, [AND AM IN NEED OF HELP IF YOUR NOT TOO BUSY].

ARE YOU STILL [OR HAVE YOU FINISHED] WORKING ON THE "DUGH RATTMANN" MODEL?

Good to hear! Thanks again.

Np. If I do plan on pick it up, I will upload it without anyone notified. However, it also seems that one of the creators has succeeded in doing this project themselves (won't spoil), and I believe they have done a phenomenal job based on what they have shared.

Aye understandable, thanks for the response 👍

Ended up retiring this attempt, sadly. :/

Heyo! I noticed your comment and was curious if you ever went through with adding facial flexes to https://v1.steam.hlxgame.cc/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=655884829 ? Thanks!

If you want the easier method, I recommend trying to take the TF2 muzzleflash model, putting it into blender, fiddle around with the textures and once you get that texture, you can try replacing the existing one for the muzzleflash (basically go through the whole reskin process), and once you are happy with the design, you can play around with the scaling feature by controlling the XYZ scales independently. This MAY require to make a separate model to reorganize the location, but if you want to make a cheaper powerup controller, I recommend using that as a starter. The animation used in the anime are basically two frames so all you need to do is replicate that sort of animation. Combine it with some particle effects and you should be golden. https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/dragonball/images/0/0d/PTETS_-_Goku_Power-up.png/revision/latest/top-crop/width/300/height/300?cb=20130205204316 If you are referring to this,

Hello! I'm just in need of some help, im trying to make a dbz like aura, and want to have like the mesh have an aura like animation

No Flex Controllers Defined
this is what i get. I know you guys made the water model any clue on how to make those types of models?

Hey Hunter! Thank you for your wishes! Happy Holidays to you too!

Happy holidays, and I hope you have a happy new year!

If you have questions, concerns, or in need of assistance, there is always the tutorials, and I am here to answer questions. If you want to work on it together, then I can help. However, out of respect for you, I will work with what I have.

Okay, thanks for clarifying who specifically you are and what exactly you wanted from my recommendation. On the case of the blood model, if the model and is a flat mesh face, then just rigging the vertices with bones would be fine. If you wanted to be more experimental, try giving a bit more freedom for animating the splatter bits and repositioning bits of them so we can use. I am not sure how you made your splatter model, thus I made my recommendation based on the assumption this was a flat face mesh.

Rather than leaving you confused, I will give you a start.
1) Rigging usually refers to a skeleton you can manipulate in Blender and in Source Filmmaker.
2) IK Rigs, which are present in the workshop, are lines of code that allow for automatic bone manipulation relative to how you rotate and translate a key bone. This is something you also see in Source Filmmaker which is supposed to make it easier to do a lot of the posing for you, only for your job to be to edit it as you please.

If you want more detailed information about it, there are the Valve Wikis and some SFM related websites to give you some background.

Rigging comes in a variety of forms, most notable of which include the standard armature skeleton rigging, and the IK/FK rigging (in other words, automated rig control). Rigging can really apply to anything that is able to be manipulated in realtime, but I want to make it clear that rigging in terms of Blender and SFM, at least for what I am focused on involves the two notable methods I just shared.

[READ THIS, YOU IMBECILES] Comment here on why you want to add me first! Be specific, I don't want you wasting time and effort for both of us! If it's something that I can just tell you here, and it most likely will be, just do it! I only add those that have issues that may require more information sharing that cannot be shared casuall in the comments! With that said, anyone who sends a friend request without thinking first will not be accepted! End of story!

Yeah.. the imported is limited and very picky, but at the same time it stops a lot of people from going way overboard with texture sizes and triangle count.

Thanks Vipes, I will keep it in mind while reviewing cosmetics or making or participating in my own projects.

To continue what Dilly and Questionable was talking about, the reason why weapons and warpaints are excluded is because the uploder simply doesn't support it. Gold star can only be gained by using the importer meaning only items and taunts can actually have it. Without the gold star certification, items have little chance of getting in if at all.

If no luck with Seds, I am also aware Pte Jack and Maxxy knowing quite a bit about HWM. Maxxy has a .bat file that actually allows for programming HWMs to behave like in normal TF2 characters, at least to my knowledge. I am more aware of the physical tax of modelling every single bit.

@Velbud
Well I certainly agree with your proposition to share ideas and stuff. The ultimate modeling I want to explore on is HWM character modeling. For a while now I've been saving money aside in hopes to eventually talk with ✨SediSocks✨ on teaching me possibly in person as we both live somewhere in the UK. I'd do the travelling of course. I also want to see if I can ask this person if they'd teach me for free and if not that's what my money aside is for. So far I've not talked with this person as I'm still saving to a set budget as I want to be ready for anything.

You can talk within that discussion about your issue. Thats what myself and others are here for.

Oh okay. Thanks for letting me now.

Hey Velbud, have been out of the SFM community for a while. So sadly won't be able to give you any input on the omnilight approach. We tried out various things when porting the dota 2 maps but to be honest, it is way too long back to recall what we tried and what we didn't.

It's a given, mah dude. I hope that I will be able to.

Truth is I am reaching a point where modeling and animation may end up being a hobby that I must retire as well. I am heading towards my major requirements and need to focus more than I did before on school. I want to get a lot of cool projects done but due to my major clashing with my hobbies, I had to give a lot up. That is why I was and still am sad.

Hey Dover,

I am sad for a few reasons:
1) I have a conflict between my life goals outside of the SFM community and those within. Worst case scenario is my goals are never realized and I may end up having to leave SFM on a temporary or even permanent hiatus.
2) I have been trying to fix relations between my ex and I, which is a struggle. However, the things this does to a person...
3) Generally, I am bored and hit an artist block, cant really critique people because I have been giving feedback and wanted to give some people a more accurate understanding of what they are doing wrong, when they keep making the same mistakes.
4) I am just a very sad boi, and I realize a couple of these are selfish. I just need to get myself out of the mentality of getting gratification from helping people.

TL;DR I am sad because I may ultimately have nothing happier to do. It's not fun doing an activity alone.

Hi, I wanted to talk about some workshop cooperatiom

oof

no i make tommy thicc

are you a physical experiment like tommy thicc

Good to know. Thanks.

So at the moment, it’s planned but on halt.

All my games are on half because I’m working on special tests for them in the future. Plus college is not giving me time to fully devote myself to it.

What games are you working on? I heard you're a game dev.

It was no ♥♥♥♥ right? ... right?!

The Sexy Beast he is :*
