still "yes" from me

Updated the submission. Check change notes for changes

I think that there shouldn't be colours not based on real metals - and moreover, they should try and be less out-there than purple of all things - but that's only my opinion. These things are interesting and I think it'd be incredibly funny

awesome

*makes baseless warpaint, ads insane randomness to the colours*

I like your style, even if it wont be added, its still cool

i wouldn't be too worried about the amount of combinations if it weren't for the fact it's suggested grade is mercenary. i feel like freelance or even civilian grade could help offset the sheer amount of combinations you can get, though i'm not an economy guy so idk how that would all play into it..

This is probably the best take on totally randomised war paints, this thing looks beautiful

If you dislike gambling you shouldn't gamble for the color you want, just buy it. Valve is going to throw shitty warpaints into cases anyways, many of which are even uglier than the worse variants of this warpaint, so it's not like getting something ugly out of a warpaint case is anything new.
Warpaint itself is beautiful, ones like this that take basic themed textures and fitting colors and use a gradient to pick out a random color just end up looking great on a good amount of rolls. It turns out as a huge variety of high quality warpaints packed into just one warpaint, and although some variants are going to be more sought after and hence more expensive, I don't think they'll be too expensive for comfort of any tf2 player willing to spend their money on warpaints.
Great work for a first warpaint submission as well meatwad, this is top notch

That's nice, but my stance still stands. You don't have to agree with it, but I would like it if you can draw a conclusion form it.

I added such a variety of wear colors because otherwise the wearing would always look shit. It's better to have a chance for the wear to look good than have it always look bad.

Randomisation within randomisation within randomisation, you got some perfectly fine colors and textures that would be perfect, but now if I want a specific combination, then fuck me, I guess I gotta unlock 100 more cases where I can get battle scarred, and other warpaints.

I'm sorry but this is an idea that is even worse then rarities like special stickers, and etc.

I'm gonna down vote this for the sake of everyone else so we won't have to suffer by an even more increasing gambling addiction.

How do you solve this? Just break them down into seperate warpaints that we can vote for, don't over complicate it.

If this gets added, I pray that it's a lower tier so that it's more common in the case.

it was perfect. perfect. down to the last minute detail.

Spectacular.

And the purple metal wear was adjusted and is more mild now

Behold! An update!
I remade the wood texture entirely to be more akin to iron wood's.
Check it out.

I love the look of everything here except for the purple wear, it just looks odd alongside a brown handle and grey barrel on a gun.

this need to be 6 different warpaints instead of one. i like some of the colors but it will be so annoying hunting for certain color combinations.

Don't mistake my nitpick for disdain this shit fucking rocks i love it and i hope it gets added

makes me want a full blueish metal war paint so i can have the hl1 revolver

the only thing that it trows me off is the green, this wp can work without it tbh
but besides that is a neat concept and most combinations look good
doubt valve will add this bc they love copy and paste but who knows
love the revolver on the promo btw

Great work, meatwad

I would fuck the shit out of that warpaint

awesome work my man

Interesting concept, I just think that gradient warpaint lead to to many random variants and a could end up making someones gun look a lot worse in the long run. I really liked the thumbnails color scheme and thought that was it for each weapon.

I suppose. But that's what trading is cool for, you can just pick what you like. Obviously prices would inflate for specific combos, but if this is something like a mercenary grade then prices would be manageable.

Ehhh idk. Love the coloring and all but doesn't this risk having too many combinations, creating the problem of rarely getting one that's to the user's tastes?

If that's the brightest the lighter silver gets, then it's probably fine - the War Paint viewer really demolished it at times, huh? Based on personal experience, I'd maybe double check how it looks on other maps with different lighting if possible, but I'm guessing it'll look perfectly fine.

re: the purple wears, ty for getting a screenshot up so quick. I'm not sold on it yet, though. Maybe if it were further desaturated? Or in the case of the bottom left example/wood wear, darkened? The metal's purple wear is dark, but I think that seed got between the purple and the light grey, so I'd personally move the purple towards to the dark grey.

To sum my thoughts: I like having neat/rarer stuff in War Paints, and it's a nice looking shade of purple, it just looks a bit too out of place as a random wear color atm IMO.

Of course, I'm just one guy writing this, and it is a pretty rare wear color. That is to say that you are welcome to discard this bit of feedback at your own discretion.

This is beautiful, makes each of them look unique. Very well done. *Breaths a flame in the shape of an award*, Hope this gets added.

made a quick in-game demo with the brighter silver in question. Also put up an image with a few shotguns that demonstrate more wear colors, should be visible in a bit.

I don't know about this one chief, I'm not a big fan of random patterning. But good work!

If this is your first war paint, Jesus Christ. because this is fantastic

Thanks for the feedback. I was kinda iffy on the wood, but yeah when you point out the specific line thickness that does stick out to me now I look back at it again.
As for the purple, I feel like having something unique to find adds some charm to it, and it purple is a pretty tame color all things considered.
The purple wear on the metal is fairly dark, so from what I could tell when making it it didn't stick out very much to me. The wood is about the same case, but just a paler version.
And the silver does seem "intense" in the promos because of the lighting angle, in-game its more tame.
Also the initial concept did envision this having the wear gradient have a color which lined up with the exterior, but unfortunately that's not possible since every instance of a gradient in a paint is randomized independently of one-another.
I'll put up some extra screenshots for purples n stuff at some point here.

(2/2)
As for the gradients, the wear gradients are really neat, but I feel like it'd be weird if my gun wore down from a completely normal colored metal or wood to purple, even if it's rare. If the gradient for the texture matched the gradient of its wear, this wouldn't be an issue, but that's probably not feasible. I'd see about changing the purple on specifically the wear gradient to something a bit less strange (but not necessarily less cool/flashy). Or maybe it looks fine, I don't know - I don't believe a purple wear was shown in the promos, and I don't mind being proven wrong on whether or not it looks weird.

For something I CAN see, though, I'd suggest toning down the white on metal_gradient - it's particularly intense on the Revolver, Jag, and Wrench in the promos.

Again, though, nice work. I genuinely like a lot of the detailing you did.

Wrote feedback, it yelled at me about the comment being too long, and I don't wanna shorten it, so here it is split up:

(1/2)
Pretty good work. Nice to see people take the plunge into custom code, given Valve's track record (which is why I don't do it myself). The two things that stuck out to me were the wood texture and the gradients.

For the wood texture, it's not too bad - I actually really like the general shape/structure of it. I think my biggest issue with it is the consistent thickness of the lines and the relative lack of detail. If you look at something like the Iron Wood Minigun's wood texture (craft/woodgrain_03 iirc), you'll notice that the lines vary in thickness, sometimes even completely tapering off. If you decide to make changes to this, it might also be good to experiment with adding more (not too dark) lines, and perhaps adding some small lines/details that're lighter than the texture's background color, which doesn't appear to be fully white.

finally a nice looking warpaint with no messed up miss-matching pain regions on half of the guns. i love it

Awesome stuff! It's great to finally see wooden grips/furniture without it also extending to the sights or some other bits and bobs on the gun. Here's hoping Valve takes the extra effort to add this WP and template.

tis good

You never know. We've gotten stuff like necromanced so there's always a possibility.

It pains me to know that we will never get anything like this

Not a fan of the purples and greens but this is absolutely amazing work.

Simply amazing, only problem is it's too perfect. If we get this in game then it'll be like a warpaint case in a warpaint itself. It would also make many other potential warpaint just invalid because of it.

The Gold Gradient is lovely.

I can only second that. For a first War Paint this is great work, I hope the time custom coding takes did not dissuade you from further War Painting.

Very bold of you to make a custom template for your first War Paint showcase. I really love some of the warpaints, the wear might be too much on some gradient generations, but man, I really love the look on some weapons, especially on that revolver on the thumbnails.

Onward to more great War Paints!

Pretty.
