go ahead and do seperate threads for these, dont' post them here :P.

Also, I'm not 100% sure what the best way is to deploy these guys is, I'm thinking I'll need to simply make a shit ton of duplicate turre assets with different skin assignments, but if anyone has an idea on how to assign additional skins onto pre-existing valve characters, speak up.

This thread is for IK rigs to use in SFM. if you have any custom IK rigs you want to share, toss them up here.

I have a loose idea of how to use these, but I'm sure alot of people could have alot of fun with something like this if someone want's to take up the mantle, you know what to do! Pardon my horrible photoshop skills.

1) If you are making a map request, mark your thread [REQUEST] try to be as specific as possible, link back to your film example if you can, show reference and mockups if you have any.

2) If you are posting about a map you are working on, Mark your thread [WIP] and [COMPLETED] as appropriate.

I did a bit of initial setup here but this place is far from finished. aside from needing logo art I' also might be missing a few forums. Additionally I need to figure out a good set of moderators. If you see anything out of the ordinary or missing, or have any suggestions on things I should do here to help get things going, post it.

I assume that's a lock/key motif? i dig the direction

I have about 30 different turrets in a single scene, whatever you got I'm more than happy to use. Im sure the community would use all of the ones you did, and I know I'm going to be messing with turrets for a LONG time to come.
