Pyro misc - Need Advice/Help

[Sad Arnold]

I made a oxygen tank replacement misc item for pyro, im trying to make the crystal transperent like a diamond bot killer robot head and get rid of the oxygen tank since its just clipping through.

This is a screenshot of the misc item. [40.media.tumblr.com]

This is the first time I have ever made TF2 item... so im kind of a noob....

Well for starters, you should probably get a basic model completed first before trying bodygroups and transparent textures.

Bodygroups should be very easy with the new importer, though. There should be a checkbox for what geometry you want to hide for characters (e.g. his gas tank) in the importer. Otherwise, you'll have to do it manually with a QC file.

This might help with transparency: http://steamcommunity.com/groups/BlenderTutorialCommunity/discussions/0/864974467279350930/

Ask around as well. I'm no longer as active here as I once was.
