Hey, i added you bc i'm learning tf2 cosmetic moddeling and would love to know your workflow, and any tips you might have. <3

+rep, thank you for the plaid lad, i can make buff demo a reality >:)

Hello brother, I see you make cosmetics for TF2, can I ask you something about the manufacturing?

good hat

Oh, about that? That's a bug with TFMV. In order to fix it, you have to make sure that the tfmv_bg.mdl submodel is located ABOVE your item's submodel (check from the "Unload Weapon" menu on "File").

Unload both submodels, load "tfmv_bg" from "tf/custom/TFMV/models/TFMV/tfmv_bg.mdl" first, then your item.

Here's an Imgur album that should help: https://imgur.com/a/9uDJRt1

Also note that if using HLMV++, paints with TFMV won't work as HLMV++ reads from colortint_base and not color2, but that can be simply fixed by clicking the item's material on TFMV, so it will open on Notepad, and you simply copy the values from color2 to colortint_base, save, and refresh.

There was that issue with the backgrounds (the automatic transparency wouldn't work in this case because TFMV sets the background color to generate the mask via a shadeless colored sphere (cube?) that the webs render behind), but the bigger issue was that the webs would also render behind any other models parented to the player (e.g. shirts, weapons, etc). In hindsight, I probably could have done the closeups with proper transparent materials and only used alphatest for the loadouts, but hindsight is 20/20. At this point, I'm not sure it's worth the effort to update the promos considering the items have likely already been selected anyhow.

Sure thing. Would that be in regards to the item disappearing on white backgrounds? You can always take shots on a black background, use magic wand on an image editing program (with 0% tolerance so it only gets 0 0 0 RGB), like Paint . NET, and add a subtle black border so make it looks nice.

Items disappearing on white backgrounds also happen on TF2, so it's not a model viewer only problem. Also, HLMV++ has a built-in screenshot tool that makes it transparent, maybe it could work for your item.

A couple more in-game screenshots can work too.
Best regards.

I appreciate the advice. I am just using standard HLMV, but the reason for the discrepancy is that while the item uses standard translucency in-game, I had to temporarily enable alphatest for HLMV (which is binary) because of a depth sorting bug which made it almost impossible to get accurate screenshots. It's a bit of a shame, but I was in a hurry and didn't have time to try and find a better solution.

You can see the model at full quality at loadout.tf

I could be wrong and everything is already set up to the highest quality, but I did notice that the three in-game screenshots do look a lot more crispier and cleaner than the shots taken in HLMV, which is the majority of the images made for the cosmetic's workshop page.

Hello, regarding your Cobweb Coating submission, I want to mention something else. It seems that the in-game screenshots, the webs look fine. I assume your Half-Life Model Viewer is not set to the highest quality settings neither the anti-alias is properly set up.

I usually don't bother much with this with other submissions and authors, even though I often see HLMV not being set to the highest quality setting, with poor anti-alias, and / or images being blurry. But, I think for this item, you should probably set it to the highest quality because it's kinda deceiving right now compared to how it really looks like in-game.

I recommend checking this page, that I wrote: https://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/User:Gabrielwoj/HLMV_Setup_Help_and_Tricks . The quickest way would just be using HLMV++ and configure it from there, as well using it over the regular HLMV.

Despite that, I guess what's currently being shown is how it would look like in-game with anti-alias disabled.

Cool cosmetics I especially love the Demo and Engineer outfits
