he wrote the steps down.

This might help. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-NjOeg4oOJY. I know its sped up but you can find the steps useful.

If you think you can't texture it I can give it a try. I'm getting better and not that good at modeling.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-NjOeg4oOJY here is a video that might help. It doesn't directly help you with texturing or talk through it but look the the steps and brushes he uses to make the texture look tf2-like. As for the compiling you just need to use the import system (which is smd for model and the texture needs to be tga.)

I want to make a hat for all classes but I would need to modify the hat for each class. Is there a way I can submit multiple verson of one hat?

Well if you don't want me to do it then here is something that helped me. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-NjOeg4oOJY Just make a brush similar to his like I did and copy the steps to get your texturing looking better.

I recently have gotten better at texturing. I can give it try but it depends on the type of texture(wood, metal, cloth). I can't promise anything but I'm willing to give it a shot.

thanks! I'm still new to the sfm and model viewer so I didn't know how. Do you have any critics on the model or texture?
