I was actually just about to make a pirate hat with that exact same image as a reference, but then I saw that a couple other people were already doing it.


What kind? I could see the soldier wearing a US military version, or the medic wearing a German one (would have to abstain from the blatantly Nazi style, of course). I guess they're similar enough that I could tweak one into the other to make both...

Medicmedicmedic please? There aren't enough awesome medic hats.

A hairpiece for the heavy, resembling the medic's hair, as seen in this achievement picture from the heavy pack:



At least that's what I always thought it was supposed to be.

A mullet for mah heavy!

FYI, we need a totodile hat like my avatar

I actually started a "crappy toupee" hat for the heavy a couple weeks ago (I was gonna jigglebone it so it bounced up and down on his head), but I kinda scrapped it 'cause I'm not experienced with making hair and was getting annoyed.

Doesn't need jigglebones (GASP how could I say that?), just make it look like the medic's hair but heavy-head sized.

ETA:
If you're asking for a Heavy with Medic's hair... why not a bald Medic?

I want this one really bad... :c. I looked for it and can't find it. Too cute!

medic saftey mask like so, but for a misc slot kinda like the camera beard.

German, for medic.

It would be soooo damned sexy.

I think I need to screw with the texture a little more 'cause I fell like it looks more US Navy than WW2 Germany. Also, I wasn't sure what to make for an insignia (and I was pushing the polycount budget for hats as it was), so I just went with a medic cross. The lack of an eagle might be the problem, but that's more polygons

I wish I had A hat so that I could get that one.

The eagle helped a bit. I don't think an eagle makes it too authentically nazi?

It doesn't feel right without an eagle.

I love it.

that is impressive barlim. that would definitely be my favorite medic hat if it were an option.

so far, best ideas I see:

-that baller medic hat
-heavy toupe (would be hilarious... heavy has the best hats)
-pith helmet
-'clean air' medic mask
-demoman rick james hair.

Sadly that wouldn't work, since it wouldn't be able to morph with the facial flexes so his face would clip through it and it'd generally just look awkward.

Daimo has made one similar, though I have no idea if any of his works has been submitted...


Looking through his stuff again (I linked most of it on the first page), he's already made stuff similar to some of the suggestions here. Again, no idea if he's submitted ANY of them. And your stuff is quite good, Barlim. Not trying to discourage you.

I kinda figured someone made that one already... his is quite nice, too. It was still a fun hat to make, regardless.

Just threw this together real quick:

Perfect. Let me ask...
Does it have jigglebones?


Also, just had another thought. Big manly beard for heavy. If you make it thick enough, it doesn't need to account for mouth movements or anything (like the spy beard but manlier). I realize you aren't fond of hair projects, but I just wanted to suggest it.

Hell. Make it an Alan Moore - uh I mean a Rasputin thing!

It seems the rule of thumb with these hats/ hat suggestions is "Daimao probably already made it." Not that he's made everything, it just seems funny, so many suggestions result in 'somebody/Daimao already did something similar'.

That being said I WANT THAT MEDIC HAT. Or the Tyrolean. Or.. any hat.

No, though I could add them. I'm trying to keep from going too jigglebone crazy 'cause hats are generally supposed to be relatively simple designs without too much eye candy, mainly for performance reasons (I suspect that's why you don't see much jiggleboning in TF2).


Props to him if he can crank out lots of high-quality stuff. I've only really just started going model-crazy recently due to some sort of creative outburst, but it's nice to get back into it and I'm learning a lot more in the process.

I feel like I'm hogging the show in this thread... has anyone else here submitted anything to Valve? Eri?

Not really, i have a project that needs to be in soon and an essay i havent even started.

But when i get a chance, im planning on doing sets of avatars of the relesed hats.

Heavy is now a respectable young man:
