Can you make the flexes work with normal TF2? The author of the item was supposed to send them to Valve but I don't think they ever did. :'(

Holy shit its scooty the zenoscout

Oh ok thanks

Facial flexes boy. I may try and later switch it to be a faceposing rather than facial flexing.

Is there a jaw to this model?

Okay then. As I'm not really a skilled animator, this will be a bit tricky, but I'll try.

Hmm, the thing is that, for example with the tail and sixth finger, you will need to animate this separately. There is no real way to add a rig onto it, because it uses mostly Scout's, but also has extra bones on the tail. I recommend try to go past the using of rigs, and try it out without adding a rig.

I can't seem to use any sort of rig on this thing. I want to try to animate a walk cycle, but if I can't use a rig with it (not even auto rig seems to work, but I probably don't know how to properly use it), I'll have a REALLY hard time with that.

Ah, you are not supposed to. This supposed to be independent from the Scout mdoel, even if it shares parts of the hwm scout. :/ So locking was what I lost hope of getting it to do. :(

i meant locking the scout in the editor

Unfortunately, Ive tried that method too, but the scout still appeared through it. If you are suggesting that I remove all the scout and just make this whole thing into a new hwm model, there are many people who want them to remain separate. However, I enjoy them being separate because then it still maintains the fact that these are cosmetics and not a whole new model. Anyways, I don't plan on making any of those changes because I need a lot of people to complain the same thing and then I'll probably want to think of doing this again. :(

i think if you made just a normal scout binded all the bones to this one you could make it work but idk

See? That's why I made it use the scout skeleton instead of using the rig_biped_simple. That's the issue that was bothering for me for weeks.

i think the biped_simple freaks out when the character doesnt have the head

Eh, the original purpose was so that you can put these pieces together as legos as long as you follow my steps correctly. You dont need the autorigger since it already use the Scout skeleton. In addition, it should be able to do most of the animations that the hwm Scout can do, too. :P

nevermind, i just used the autorigger and fixed it

hey can you add the head and neck on the legs? maybe just as a placeholder bone, because currently it is incompatible with IK rigs

You got it!!! Thanks for your awesome poster!!!

Ah, thanks very much for those instructions! That makes a lot more sense. Appreciate it! C:

Thanks guys!!! Response to Titan, I added some instructions for how to use in the description so follow it and the results should come out more desirable! :3

I like these! Good job! My only criticism would be that the tail melts into a single joint within the scout's rear end when I lock it there; any remedy for that?
Nonetheless, this is cool! I've always wanted to move this thing's mouth. I made this using these improved models, I hope you like it:
