Attempting some modelling of my very own. Basic stuff to start off with, just to see if I can do it.

Feeling incredibly frustrated because skinning/bone attaching isn't working right! Doin' a grenade replacement, skinned the objects to the grenade bones on Demo's chestpiece. It all compiles error-free, but when I go to look at it in Itemtest, it's stiffly hovering way high over his head!

And to confuse me even further, allowing SDK to auto-skin the object to bip_head puts it in the correct place, though of course it moves all weird and follows Demo's head movements rather than chest movements.

What have I done wrong/missed? (Also I guess this'll be my WIP thread for general 3D stuff if I manage to progress.)

Mister, while I don't know too much about modelling, I have seen errors much like this be resolved by just one answer in TF2 Emporiums...
The Demo, when you skinned to those bones... did you decompile the Demoman's model straight from the GCF, or did you use SDK's defaults? Because the ones SDK provides are extremely outdated and useless.
I like your skin there~

That's actually a messed-up test-texture that I have since corrected. But thanks, heh!

The Demo model I used was the one from the /tf/ section of Steam, since the character models & rigs were somewhat-recently made available to folks to access and which are supposedly good for using when modelling. I made the objects using that base file, skinned them to the grenade bones and deleted everything else, then compiled using SDK's itemtest and checked it out via the itemtest map in-game.

I've been told elsewhere that using itemtest for anything outside of standard hats is useless, which kinda sucks! I'm a complete newby moron with 90% of everything when it comes to 3D work, so any advice on compiling and whatnot would be incredibly appreciated.

Well, I've fucked around with things as best as I can. Give it a vote if you're feeling kindly!
