TennoGen Workshop: FAQ

FAQ:

How do I get started?

See our guide here on everything you need to know: Steam Workshop Guide

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/

How are submissions chosen?

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

How much will I make?

If your skin is chosen, you will make 30% of each sale. This 30% is a percentage of the cash transaction, not Platinum Currency.

I don't know anything about Texturing, what should I do?

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, you are encouraged to master the tools before you submit.

How often is Digital Extremes adding TennoGen Skins into the game?

We aim to add TennoGen Skins to the game as frequently as we can - this depend a lot on the quality of submissions. We aim to have our first set of TennoGen Skins in the market by the end of November.

I don't use Steam - how do I get the skins?

If you don't use Steam, how are you reading this :O? We are keeping the content to Steam right now - once we are confident the program is a success, we are exploring other platforms with the content creators. Contracts outside of Steam take time, and we will approach this as quickly as we can once we get a sense of participation in the program.

I can't submit anything, what gives?

If you can't submit anything and you know you've set up everything correctly, it's possible your account is restricted by Steam, this is called a 'limited account'. Steam prohibits submissions on accounts that have not spent $5 or more in the Steam Store. To lift this restriction, may we suggest you stock up on some Platinum?

In other words this is exactly like what I made a topic about on the official forums.

Dividing purchases between other payment methods and platinum is NOT a good idea, and is nothing more than a cheap cash grab.

Any other aesthetic in the game, save for Prime Access accessories, can be gotten with plat. That's part of why I support WF - the ability to make choices, do you want to pay cash to get plat, or earn things to sell for plat on trade chat, and make plat that way?

Here's a link to my topic about it that explains this better:

You know, previous TennoGen items were incorporated into the game market and are purchasable with platinum. While I do see your point - I don't see why Workshop items cannot be added directly into the game after approval, further down the line.

Thank you for quoting me. I accidentally saw my typo because of this, and corrected it.

While this is true, I don't see anything in this FAQ that clarifies that, or even so much as vaguely suggests that. It would be much appreciated if the devs would state for sure one way or the other.

Typo? Huh, well, I guess my quote was of assistance.
I believe I've seen Rebecca stating that at the start Warframe Workshop will be Steam exclusive, but as time goes they are aiming to somehow bring those items into the game.

I hope this stays true. Like I said, I'm not against paying - not at all. I'm against DE changing their way of handling their business.

So it's just skins huh, was hoping there could also be diffrent models for new weapons, e.t.c.... Oh well...

Seeing some really great work and alot of Excalibur skins but how come no Ember skins. I thought that would be one everybody would be excited to redsign and come up with new ideas.

I have an idea for sword skins but I'm no programmer or designer, so I have no idea how to develop it. The tools that have been setup are all Greek to me. What do I do now? :-(

I have a question about modeling an alternate helmet, ive read that the budget for a helmet is a max of 5000 triangles, but does that mean that my model can only contain triangels?
Ive looked at the default helmet of rhino and it contains only triangles so i am worried that my model will get rejected for containing quads. Thanks.

It should be fine, quads are actually 2 tris by default.
