And I thought Steel Brushed was the one.

This is very great, from the preview images its giving me the vibes of this saying "Australium can be cheeper, like this"

A bit too shiny but a way to spend your excess refined metal is a good idea!

Ill be honest Im really not a fan of the ausatralium like shine. the concept is amazing I will say I love it but I dont like the shine effect. A way to fix this is just remove the astralum like shine and replace it with an albedo tint metal. So its still refined metal but is not overly reflective.

Great idea and execution!

I like the Goldsrc-esque chrome on these, nice work.

So, I recall New Zealium as a concept that was floated by the community in various Reddit threads in the couple of years after Australiums first released. I still have the receipts of concept work I made for posting in one of those threads (check the date on this image https://imgur.com/88201mB for example), and that did somewhat inspire this.

I was not aware that Creators made it a thing on their servers -- I didn't play on them for very long (briefly during the half life update they did, and that's it).

kinda looks like the creators tf new zealandium not a fan tbh

would be cool if you could craft this for 100 ref or something. shame valve will never do it but cool warpaint nonetheless

Looks good but it is suprisingly shiny and mabye make the stripes a bit more subtle

Idk bro, looks weird being pure metal like refined stuff, maybe need more work, im just saying

like australium

Love the shiny silver metal!

Only thing i don't like about it is the wood texture. It doesn't feel organic and very looks plastic.

maybe a tad bit too shiny but otherwise really good!

The color palette is awesome! Contrasting the cool blue steel with tan and warm, dark gray secondary textures looks really nice. The wear texture is great too. I do think the Australium-esque reflections look kinda out-of-place. I can see why you wouldn't wanna go with albedo instead as it would also affect the other textures (if I'm not mistaken). Not super well versed on material settings so idk if its possible, but if you could tone down the reflectivity of the main texture and give it more of a rough, matte finish this would be seriously perfect imo!

Maybe add some shadings its a bit solid

this can be obtained through playing mvm but has a higher chance to drop than a australium

Bro trying to get a tank through airport security

Good idea ruined by whatever this albedo is, maybe show us how it would look with the Macaw Masked one or without any?

Looks really well done, but i have doubts about if Valve will add the custom albedo.
good luck.

true on phil_holes48, zesty just sees "ooh shine and solid colors" and says yes on this one.
imo it certainly needs something to break the metal part up, or else it's gonna be a bit of an eyesore

going to have to disagree with mr zesty jesus on this one. the shiny bits are a bit too flat and simple, even for tf2. they need a bit more stylization. the current texture looks like something you’d find in roblox, however the other textures are great.

i like this, but the shine needs to be toned down imo. there definitely should be a lot of shine, but this just flashbangs me ngl

No one else is saying it so I will. This is way too shiny and does not fit TF2

If Valve adds this to the game without the shininess we need to riot.

The fact Valve refuses to add custom VMTs infuriates me.

very sleek
good permanent addition to the workshop
sad to know valve will never add skins like this

this is crazy good

Finally HL2 Revolver Mod but real

simple yet amazing

This good!

new zealium

damn, this looks premium
