Decided im not going to just let this one pass, going to be doing some stuff for the pyro, not going to be using my daft punk hat though probly wouldn't be wise. Will update later with some wip pics.

Fire bucket hat, Hydrant melee weapon, and Fire safety badge of some sort.

so i guess my unintended theme seems to be fire safety started doing the badge, what do you guys think of the ideas though?

I love the hydrant as a melee weapon. Awesome idea. The badge is looking nice too. If it will have stats attatched to it then I'm worried it would be hard to see but otherwise great ideas!

Misc items generally don't. Great lookin ideas!

Going to bed now.

Cool ideas! Ha fire safety.

So the hat will extend off his/her head or will you cut holes for the eyes and it will fit over the head?

Thanks vig, its seems to fit really well without eye holes and just sitting atop his his/her head without sticking up to far, and on another note i think i might add a hydrant wrench too, not sure on that one yet though

Loving the Irony :P

W+M2 basic rules of fire safety

When I see these items I instantly think Fahrenheit 451, and how the firemen start fires not put them out, it fits well with the Brigade Helmet and Vintage Merryweather since both are firemen hats. Love the designs

ill just leave this here

Yes!

Fantastic

omg yes one million times to the fire hydrant melee. Should put out fire when used on teammates.

GREAT! Would love to see the bucket in game!

great idea mate! The badge/melee weapon and bucket hat work well - only a small crit though -
the bucket hat: any way to make it a moar impressive silohette? maybe include a dent in it and emphasise the rims/lining - otherwise good progress...

i actually tried that and im trying to stick to the 800 limit, its at 790 right now i just cant get a dent to look good without a normal map :/ but ill try it out when im done uv mapping.

A couple of the custom hats are over 1000 tris, so I think it's more of a general guideline.

So we can go over, i thought since this was a comp i would have to be more strict with the budget.

wooot! yeah

Community would be grateful for sticking to the limit - u know - more tris = less fps :S
I like the idea.

how are the textures looking? I
Ill post some wires and sheets in a bit.

I'd wear that hat. You going to have the bucket handle move?
