Description If you follow Team Fortress 2, you may have noticed the shipping of the huge Mann-Conomy update including the Polycount contest winning items . In addition you will find an in-game Mann.Co shop where you can buy all sorts of things including MY ITEMS!

As the creator of the Tankbuster pack i get a generous 25% royalties of all sales and bundles of my items from Valve. So if you enjoy my work, i would be honoured if you supported me and grabbed them in the shop!

Ha! Wow man, I would have thought you'd be doing...'better' with that

I mean it's cool you have functioning work in existence, but I would have hoped to hear you talking about the bling bling, not a night at Taco Bell. >_<
I thought that game was BIG.

Maybe next time. Hopefully you score a biggie.

You can spend $60,000 on a night at Taco bell? That's impressive. I feel like the luckiest guy ever, nobodys like me couldn't score any "bigger".

Congrats, I just unlocked the backpack. I do hope you get paid even if players unlock or craft these items you worked so hard creating. Your designs really help the shape of the Soldier make him stand out from the other weapons, hats and items.

I didn't use anything in particular, just look for the solutions as you come across the problems.

As for the Meshes, there is the whole set of the classes rigs in the source sdk.

Very nice!
As long as TF2 goes on and rich kids, teenagers and adults buy TF2 you'll be set for life
20-30$ per pack = 5-7.50$ cut and then multiply that by all the greedy TF2 players or people who want to "give back" to Valve and you've got quite a sum depending on how big that part of the playerbase is.

Nice art even if it's advertisement.

No offense meant but I'd prefer to wait for them to drop randomly because I'm not that sure I want to have a situation where I pay that much for the pack and then I find it all with random drops 5 seconds later.

Oh and congrat on getting in
