yes just yes!

Can you lighten the colors?

Can you actually use this now?

yeah, showcasing all colors takes a lot of time, so creators usually only showcase the obvious paints.

Oh. My mistake. I just never use the colours so I don't know how it works.

Lil Buzzer has a pretty good model and on top of mine, is certified somehow with animations. And what do you mean "as paintable"? When something's paintable, it works for all colors, he just didn't showcase every one like I did.

Lil buzzer copied this. It isn't even as paintable.

Alt fire, it attacts Heavies.

:)

If you died, I wouldn't be surprised if the bird plops off and ragdolls somewhere like your gun.

need this

The design seems a bit much for TF2.

This is definitely a much better hummingbird than the one that's currently at the top. The model is smoother and has better quality than the other one and the colors work better here, though they still need some work. Not only that, but this hummingbird actually flies, which most do rather than standing on a shoulder.

What I want to see now is a seal of approval on this and some more work on the colors. Then I'm definitely going to love it!~

awesome! the caffeine cooler will fit with this can-opening bird

Hopefully Valve actually reads the text wall there and the comments here and adds this in.

ah, I haven't tried...

I know, but the importer can't do that yet.

Good to see you are trying to improve it, would be great addition.

You know you can add a normal map (just flat, no actual texture) and use the alpha from that for the paint.

not if, WHEN! be positive!

Lol, thanks, but that's even if it gets added in!

good. i will pay a lot of good money for this!!!!

Exactly why I'm sacrificing it =P

paint is not important. the only thing that is is that it is in the game

Well, upon looking things up, in order to make him not require animations, he will have to be non-paintable, as I need to use the alpha channel in the texture to make the wings look like a blur, which will take away the paintability. But he should be able to import into the importer and be certified.

You have a point... I'll see what I can do about that

Well, I wasn't meaning you should put jiggle bones on the wings. Just float him on a jiggle bone so he hovers a bit. Should be pretty easy to make that look good.

The wings could go several routes, but like I said, their wings are always a blur anyway.

Either:
make 3 or 4 wings (different positions) and alpha them to like 25% so they can barely be seen.

or

make one big alpha plane thingy and has blurred wing texture.. would have to mess around to see what looks best.

But then he'd be floating and look like his wings were moving.

Goodluck anyway.

i have confidence in you statyk. i believe you can do it. just keep at it. :)

I saw, it's kinda cute, I must say =] It's a shame it doesn't fly next to him. Hummingbirds have to move a lot, and I know the TF2 world isn't exactly realistic, but come on, that's what hummingbirds are known for. And I experimented with setting the wings to flap from jigglebones and it's just not reliable. He can easily halt the flapping, one wing can go higher/faster than the other, one may not even flap at all... It's just not workable without the animation. If the other gets accepted, I understand what I did wrong, but I don't plan to half-ass my work JUST to get it accepted. I'll have to wait until animation support is implemented, which it probably won't, since that'd be extra work for Valve. But hey... Reskin mods are available. =\

Good idea, better flying than the new one that is sitting.

Why not just make an alpha channel for the wings and put it on jiggle. Thier wings flap so fast all you see is blur anway. And valve won't put animated files in game so you're just shooting yourself in the foot.

ADD THIS VALVE!!! i wanna see a animal for the scout, and this is perfect!!

Nice!

Hope they will let this one in somehow because it is an actually well done workshop piece

I freaking love it. Hope it gets in next update.

I like the orange one

Don't need to give it red bull, it already has wings.

Cool. Lets hope Bonk! Atomic Punch is good for birds.

Added you to discuss a technical solution to get your item fully import certified.
