That's not entirely true.
Some env values won't work but the envmap and envmaptint parameter does.
And ofc. phong could help too on a chrome material because it let's you do crazy stuff like phongwarp and lightwarp.

I thought Valve fixed that? I SWEAR I remember testing it out and having phong + specular on a model.

I use them all the time and they are working.
Only values like envmapcontrast and envmapsaturation are malfunctioning.
envmaptint is working though.

Phong doesn't replace envmap at all, it just adds/alters the highlight the prop achives from light sources and the general way the light appears on them.
Before that, it was only possible to have a prop dull or shiny, now you can give the material an appeareance much more similar to the material it's supposed to be made of. (if you're able to figure out the right values).

Ok, BTT now: show some models please.

To be honest I haven't tried past a few attempts a long while ago. I'll have to give it a go next time I am making a model that calls for it. Thanks!

Just make note that the bump map alpha is automatically used for the phong intensity calculations. So if you want the envmap specular to be unique from the phong specular, you'll have to use $basealphaenvmapmask instead of $normalmapalphaenvmapmask. Generally, a single specular mask works fine for both envmapping and phong.

Continued to tweak the lighting and materials in this scene. Only thing left to fix is the overly-bright recesses in the cabinet.

There are two things that my inexpert eye see as wrong:

Image

1-The wood pattern in the speakers frames should be turned 90 degrees. Wood is usually cut longitudinal and not like that.

2- That bright diagonal line looks like a bad smoothed face. Not sure how the mesh is composed but usually clipping the face into two polygons in the opposite direction (I mean like \ instead of /) hides the issue.

Duly noted! I'll have to check on that face, I'm not sure if it's a smoothing error or an actual sliver of light between the two shadowed regions.

Nice work Happy. I like the way the lamp looks best of all. Really good edge flow on that imo.

They both fit in the TF2 style, but I think that the textures are really going to make or break it. Keep it painterly! :)

Update! Needs a bit more optimization and then UV and texture obviously but the modeling is done.

Epifire are you being serious or sarcastic making fun of me for posting something made entirely of cylinders? :D
Either way the lamp is not for TF2 it is for something else.
