No bother at all! The trick about seamless patterns is you’re probably better off finding one that was designed to be seamless, rather than trying to make a random pattern seamless. The TF2 gun patterns are all or mostly seamless, for example. The average thing I used to find on google was not seamless, though. In the case where one isn’t seamless, I usually had to resort to manually lining up and tiling copied layers of it until it matched up, and most of the time it still didn’t. GIMP has a ‘tile’ function, but often times it still leaves a seam even if the pattern didn’t have one, so I usually tile it manually anyway. Takes a few minutes of work sometimes if I ended up wanting to shrink the pattern down a lot, but it usually worked in the end. Hope this helps!

Unfortunately nope, still not a released model. We hope to release it someday (that being Uberchain and I), but since the original body I had hacked together in Blender was made of a model that we didn’t (and still don’t have) permission for- Gray Mann made by Rebbacus- we couldn’t release it. Recently, probably more like a year ago at this point, I had remade a body using Alaxe’s spy since I have permission from him to do that, but I never finished the remake of it. Theoretically that could be released at a later date. I’m glad people are still interested, at least!

Unfortunately yes, pretty much all the wigs can’t be re-released, since they’re sims 4 mods I didn’t have permission to edit. The gist of all my old shit is that I never expected people to actually like my shit enough to want it, which is my bad. Some wigs were just from the Life Is Strange models off the workshop, with little to no edits to the model, just reskins. A couple are custom made by me but very shit and I’m not ready to release them. I may someday eventually fix up the ones I’ve made myself and release them, I dunno. Won’t be any time soon. Sorry! Glad you like them though! I know there’s always been some demand for the custom model shit I do, and I’m working on actually learning to do shit from scratch so that if I ever do something amazing, I may actually someday be comfortable with releasing it. But that day is not today.

In other news, in case anyone’s worried, no, tf2 has no been abandoned on the blog now that I’ve been working a bit on half-life/portal stuff. God, so much half-life/portal stuff. I have posters lined up for release, I was just wanted to do a couple extra before sharing.

 Speaking of permissions, I’ve been working on a new body for bidwell using a body model I do actually have permission for. It’s not finished yet, and it’s not a guaranteed immediate release when it’s done at all, but it’s being worked on. I’ve made plans with a new modelling friend to do an as-close-to-canon Expiration Date pauling as possible, and maybe even a comic pauling that we can actually release, since the current one I have is from Rebbacus, and she specifically asked that it not be released. But those plans aren’t being done right now, we’ll get to it eventually. 

Sort of. The face is edited from Crazyb2000′s ED pauling, since Valve never released theirs, and I don’t currently have permission to release it and it isn’t don’t yet/not great quality either, and the body is a heavily modified version of a model I got from Rebbacus, which she specifically asked me not to publicly release.

A comic pauling is achievable with Crazyb’s model though, he included an extra color for the dress, different glasses, and flexes to make the hair shorter. The flexes are under the ‘unknown’ tab on the model in SFM, and if you have a model rigged, you can right click in the open grey area and hit ‘show hidden controls’, and the stuff hidden by the rig will appear again.

Unrelated to the ask, but apologies to anyone who dropped by the page recently! I don’t know when it broke but I think I’ve fixed it now. Tumblr rolled out an https change for html code that I didn’t notice, and also the wooden background image I was linking to is gone now. I’ve switched it to a similar one, hopefully that one will stay up.

Don’t have permission to, unfortunately. In the comic pauling case I’ve been specifically asked not to. You can get pretty close though, I haven’t edited her that far off the base model (save for some face edits recently that I might not keep, I still like Crazyb’s original better). Just nab the model off the workshop and nab this reskin pack to change skintone. Also pauling’s real glasses can technically be found in game, in that pile of sunglasses hat. The separated model is here.

Also, because I see this a lot, just for anyone at all seeing this post, not necessarily the asker- Crazyb’s model has flexes to change the hair shape. If you’re making a comic pauling, she doesn’t have bangs hanging down like ED pauling. Use the hair shape flexes, it makes her look much different, rather than ONLY switching to the solid purple dress. That ain’t comic pauling, that’s ED pauling with a solid purple dress. Crazyb even demonstrates them in the pictures for the model download on steam, I don’t know how more people don’t notice the flexes.

If you’ve applied an ik rig to the model (rig_biped_simple, usually), you can right click in the blank grey area in sfm where the models are listed (to your left by default), and show hidden shit. It’ll show the ‘unknown’ tab again, which the ik rig provided by sfm hides, for some reason. Use the flexes! You can get pauling to look very different with different hairstyles. I’ve had people ask me who a model even is just by changing the style and removing her glasses, without even editing the model personally.
