Concept Asian Conical Hat WIP

[Richard LeMoon]

I started some rough concepting of an Asian conical hat. Textures are just slopped on images grabbed online, and the hat itself is basically just a cone. Everything will be reworked after I settle on a texture and color scheme.

Thats actually a really good hat. Ide get it. Dont know for wich class. My pilot needs a change of fashion, hes been in those clothes for a while now with that golden helmet.

The basic idea is a hat that compliments the Asian theme on the Goldfish and the 'The Way' gunner outfits.

It would look good on a Junker too, 'cause you know...

Junkers.

wow dude from talking about it to doing it you have a amazing turn around

and that looks really good i would totally wear that with "the way"

LOL right now it looks like a cross between a conical hat and a Tiffany lamp

all the same, I love where you're going with it.  if the red parts are dyeable, I'd wear it as-is in a heartbeat.

This is the hat I used for the texture and inspiration. I wanted something more than a straw hat with steampunky bits tossed on, and the light colored designs reminded me of brass. The intention of the final texture will be to have the red parts dye-able.

If I had to pick a hat, this would be it.  Love love love the design, and I'm sure it'll be released as soon as it hits the Workshop.

squee! - all of my yes.  and you're doing an epic job with it.

I might have it sit back further on the head so it looks like the guy can see out of it XD  beyond that, I'm just in awe.  you're really good at this.

If we wanted to make it derpy and steampunk-y, just cut holes in the hat and put in adjustable spyglasses.

I would add a riot gear like glass shield on the upper front part of the hat. For the steampunk effect, but then the logic of it being a hat to prevent sunlight would diminish

Once I have the base mesh and textures, I can try several different accessory kits. New mesh is made, and I am starting work on the high poly version for normal baking.
