Dear lord this is the best demo thing i've ever seen!

VALVE! GET THIS PEAK INTO THE GAME!

The God Emperor of Mannkind approves this cosmetic set

you physically cannot remove demo's vest bro

God I wish more people remove demo's armor vest for miscs, it's surprisingly rare

Well, not exactly. While the lapels are a good distraction, I can still see the baked shadows quite clearly. This isn't really the item creator's fault, but more at Valve for never fixing the base Demoman texture.

There is a community fix uploaded, but so far nothing. I think changes to the base texture are a little harder to get accepted due to the possibility of conflicting with workshop items, though I find it hard to see the baked shadows being one of them.

Though if the poly limit hasn't reached, and if there's available unmapped space in the texture, I'd try to cover them, although I still like the item a lot even if the change doesn't get through.

I don't think the lapels should be increased in width to cover them, they look fine as is, it's mostly a problem with the default textures, and how some item creators approached this problem by modelling it over.

You cannot see the uploaded styles, but they are still available for Valve to check them out

By the way, the Marine style is the dark sweater one

wait so does that mean we cannot see it at all? or at a later date?

Don’t worry, styles are just uploaded privately nowadays

About the baked shadows, we thought that the lapel did hide them fairly in game

what happened to the marine style?

Sick. The only problem is that the Demoman's baked shadows show up due to the grenades being hidden. There has been items in the past where the item creators decided to model over the baked shadows with a version without them.

Would it be possible here too, or, did you reach a poly limit? Some space on the texture to match the Demoman's suit / vest would be required too.

ngl this wouldve been overwatch skin if Blizzard was good company.
