Marooni 28 Oct, 2015 @ 12:13pm

InfernalPyro 27 Oct, 2015 @ 12:55pm

i could watch that for hours.

I also find that bozo the all gnawing and every circling effect are confusing for snoipahs

lol nice but make it smaller

Oh god yes, especially effects like Sunbeams, Green Black Hole or Time Warp, Vivid Plasma or Miami Nights; that's the reason I would never wear a hat with such a "shoot me right here" effect in a competitive match.

I've personally never found unusuals to be distracting as a sniper. In fact, I kinda like them. Their center is always the head. They are just like a barndoor of neon all pointed at where to shoot.
Bar Fight Bob 26 Oct, 2015 @ 9:04pm 
That has to be the most distracting unusual effect I've ever seen...
SinestroFGC👹 26 Oct, 2015 @ 8:04pm 
YES!!!!

@Rogue13: Ah, thanks for the technical info, it's interesting to hear how this was made.
It definitely looks amazing.

Knusper: The item is no more expensive than the Octopus hat. It's the same general technique of layering an animation into the refrence file. Then I added some fx. The cyan trail is a detuned medigun fx beam, about 1/2 the particles, and the rocket fx is 2/3rd of a normal solider's rocket trail and tuned down as well. The saucer is the one already in game and the rocket uses less polys and the saxxy texture. Clients are the only one rendering something like this. If someone is running on a potato, it might give them an issue. maybe.

I had long tuned the Invasion stuff out. It was so long coming, I had forgotten about it. I didn't think this up until just last week and implimented it as a test for myself. It was fun, looks cool, I'm happy. cheers.

Put it in the SFM Workshop, perhaps? It deserves to be seen and used.
Big Guy 26 Oct, 2015 @ 6:24pm 
I never thought i'd see the day where the comics inspire unusuals! GG
Steggon 26 Oct, 2015 @ 5:48pm 
When I saw snipers mom i was just laughing! But good idea!
BlevRuz 26 Oct, 2015 @ 10:08am 
That makes no sense if you don't know the lore XD
Dreamy Sundae 26 Oct, 2015 @ 9:55am 
This is the second best effect I've seen in the Workshop, but seeing how no 3D effects have gotten in, I think the chances are slim, since Invasion came out already anyways. But great job none the less. ( ° ͜ʖ °)
Harmacist 26 Oct, 2015 @ 5:45am 
I really love the lore reference.
Beavis 25 Oct, 2015 @ 9:27pm 
YES. YES. YES AGAIN.
Ostrum 25 Oct, 2015 @ 7:49pm 
dat title XD
Thirteen  [author] 25 Oct, 2015 @ 5:34pm 
fisson: yep i could swap out some stuff, but there's only so much you can achieve with animated sprites. I've gone down that road and tried to make it work on others. the nyan cat fx i made is an example of what you are proposing. it can and would work to a degree, but it breaks down when it turns around. I wanted to try something different this time.

as far as the invasion deadline: meh, whatever. i didn't make this expecting it would get in. and since i started and finished it after the deadline, i have zero expectations it will do anything else besides sit here. cheers tho.
b3afy 25 Oct, 2015 @ 4:13pm 
highly improbable, but very freakin' cool.
cheddar 25 Oct, 2015 @ 3:57pm 
Amazing!
C.Trencada 25 Oct, 2015 @ 2:49pm 
It's awesome!
Ginger 25 Oct, 2015 @ 2:29pm 
This is awesome
Festivized-Nugget 25 Oct, 2015 @ 12:51pm 
i think there should be three types just the mummy's rocket, the alien or both:steamhappy:
Cobi 25 Oct, 2015 @ 10:57am 
I don't like it as a cosmetic maybe will be a good idea for a unusual misc
:steammocking:
SpaghettiiWithJuice 25 Oct, 2015 @ 9:52am 
This would be very distracting to Snipers trying to headshot a person with this.
FissionMetroid101 25 Oct, 2015 @ 8:04am 
Actually there's a way you can make this still look good by just using particles. It'd take a good amount of effort, but is possible using sprite_trail and a prerendered animated_sprite. Hate to say it man, but using actual models is pretty much cheating. You seem pretty decent at making particles, you could definitely do it man--although I hate to break it to you, but the due date was a week ago.

will this be visible while playing, like in the players view?
Thirteen  [author] 25 Oct, 2015 @ 6:48am 
yeah i understand it's a lil much. :)
flynn 25 Oct, 2015 @ 5:47am 
lol wat. this would be like an Unusual. the best one EVER. but its a bit... too big and too much (no offense nice work)
Thirteen  [author] 25 Oct, 2015 @ 3:30am 
Perhaps. I'm also tired of doing things the old ways and playing within the "rules". I am however, having fun making new things just to make them. So I'm doing that. I realize that I have a higher change of "it won't make it in the game" with this strategy. That's not really my goal. If it was, I'd be making "proper" unusuals like the dozens I already have in the workshop from the last 3-4 years.
Stachekip 25 Oct, 2015 @ 1:44am 
Sorry to say, but unusuals cannot be models, they must only be particles.
Yen 24 Oct, 2015 @ 7:31pm 
How on earth did you make 3D particles?? Looks sick btw.
zombiegirl gaming 24 Oct, 2015 @ 6:35pm 
yes..please yes..
