We have developed a small program (Warframe Tennogen) that will allow you to upload your assets to the Steam Workshop. The Tennogen utility will also allow you to preview your assets via a WebGL viewer that is running an approximation of our in game shader.

The previewer uses the same arrangement of textures that your asset needs to work in Warframe and it will help you develop an asset that will colour well when our player customize it. The help documentation is linked within the Tennogen utility and can be accessed directly here: https://warframe.com/steamworkshop/help/


The following items will be open for TennoGen skin design submissions:

• All 47 Warframes: Skin (texture) and Alt Helmet (texture/remodel)
  
• Syandanas
  
• Landing Craft Skins
  
• Operator Accessories
  
• Select Melee Weapon Skins
  
• Select Primary and Secondary Weapon Skins
  
• Chest Armor Pieces
  
• Shoulder Armor Pieces

Submissions are chosen by Digital Extremes based on quality and creativity. We will consider the popularity of skins as deemed by the Tenno, but we will be making the final call on what we add to the game. For information on why a skin was Rejected, see here [warframe.com]


If your skin is chosen, you will make 30% of each sale. This 30% is a percentage of the cash transaction, not Platinum Currency. A curated selection of items is available on Consoles for Platinum, following the completion of a licensing agreement with the Artists -- we will contact you privately with details if your item is chosen for transfer.



If you don't know a lot about Texturing, we have made many resources available here: https://warframe.com/steamworkshop/help/index.php?page=content-creator-art-style-guide

Note that we only will accept the highest quality submissions, and you are encouraged to master the tools before you submit. While it is possible for talented, relatively new artists to succeed, please be aware that TennoGen is not necessarily intended for beginner artists.


We aim to add TennoGen Skins to the game as frequently as we can. This is dependent on the development team schedule and also the number of items currently for review in the workshop. Keep an eye on this subforum for announcements as to the next Round deadline!



If you’re a PC Tenno, you can purchase TennoGen content in-game if the client is launched via the Steam Launcher, or via the TennoGen store on Steam. Console Tenno also have access to a curated selection of TennoGen items in the Market for Platinum.


If you can't submit anything and you know you've set up everything correctly, it's possible you have a Limited User Account on Steam. To unlock certain community features, including submissions to the Steam Workshop, users must spend $5 USD in Steam. You can read about the policy on Steam here: https://steamhost.cn/help_steampowered_com/en/faqs/view/71D3-35C2-AD96-AA3A


We try to give as much feedback as we can to community artists, but we recommend reviewing our “Reasons for Rejection” guide for common issues we see with pieces: https://www.warframe.com/steamworkshop/help/index.php?page=some-reasons-for-rejection

Feedback is offered following Round deadlines to items or artists we feel may have potential for future acceptance. You are welcome to contact us for critiques around this time, and we will offer feedback at the team’s discretion.

Critiques will not be offered outside of that deadline cadence, so make sure you’re submitting your pieces on time!

If you want to hear what the community or fellow artists think, feel free to use these subforums or the TennoGen section of our Discord to share your work. [discord.gg]
