No, trinity is a lobster.

revenant is a samurai.

Actually, she might be a crawdad, I'm not sure about the difference tbh.

[ashen peak]

Trinity is only lobster when you wear her prime dress

[ivory radish]

she just becomes more lobster

[ashen peak]

She still loved even if a lobster

[celest nest]

I hate her.

All my homies hate both lobsters and trinity

[ashen peak]

I do SP with trinity and fight rank 400+ enemies with her

[celest nest]

You know what. It is concluded. She's getting turned into langostine

[ashen peak]

Wait what?

Nuuu

You shouldn't underestimate a support

[celest nest]

I'm not making the rules. I'm afraid there's no other way

[ashen peak]

anyways we need to stop talking normally in here as this is for Tennogen discussions

[celest nest]

Imma tenogen artist and I'm serious about turning her into a crustacean

No rules broken

[uneven hull]

🦀

[ashen peak]

poor trinity

I built her perfectly to the point she can solo SP

I just want her to get more nice looking skins 🥺

[celest nest]

It's gonna be a very nice lobster

[ashen peak]

B-But she can be so much more

I bet you can be so much more creative then just a lobster skin

[celest nest]

I could do crab

[ashen peak]

You could do a nurse 🤣

I just feel like you are hungry for shellfish

🤣

@celest nest
I think you can definitely do better Tennogen artists can be very creative

I'm just a support main but i believe in our artists

[ivory radish]

there's already a nurse skin iirc

[ashen peak]

it was kind of a joke

that's why there was an emoji

[ivory radish]

I have zero sense of humor so you get to see the skin I had in mind anyway
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1616477554

[ashen peak]

Whhyyy!!,

people could make better skins for her

[celest nest]

Lobster is always an option

[ashen peak]

you know what i would like to see your design

[lyric abyss]

man. i wish there were more lobster skins for warframes.

alas there are none

[celest nest]

For now

[serene thorn]

Lobster hydroid when

[jagged wigeon]

He get squid

[serene thorn]

Squid nidus?

[jagged wigeon]

Nidus is, well he's something else entirely considering he is infested

[warm bison]

crab skin for hydroid?

While I never see it happening, I'd get a giggle seeing the other magical-girl-warframes Yareli was picked from becoming alternative skins for her.

[desert belfry]

Infested Davy Jones Hydroid 🤔

[celest nest]

Teeeeeeeeeeeechnically I already made a squid helmet for him, as a collab

[desert belfry]

Squid helmet with a luxurious hat

[golden hinge]

Need excalibur skin

Please someone could make arthurian legend like excalibur tennogen skin?

[hoary bramble]

Who is that

[jagged wigeon]

Excalibur and wisp are the ones we don't need more of right now

[uncut eagle]

True

[weak minnow]

yeah, even thought excal is my favorite frame, some frames like sevagoth, baruuk, etc don't even have one skin

no wait baruuk has some lmao

[rotund nova]

Have a sevagoth in the works with cobalt, but it is tenno style not grineer

[weak minnow]

nice, hope it gets approved

[rotund nova]

Goosmo is also making one

These skins just take time

And DE feedback used to take way longer

With these tennogen changes the workflow should be much faster to reach implementation

[weak minnow]

oh yeah, the corvid one

[weak minnow]

gladly, it really was quite slow iirc

i think that since i started playing only 2 rounds were released, hope this means a significant faster release

[thick root]

From the feedback i got, it sounded like they were interested in getting it in-game, but i have to make the helmet again from the ground up, because it was too similar to the original and had other problems aswell

Gotta change up the body too, to make it easier to read

[jagged wigeon]

Hell yeah can't wait to see it when it gets redone and accepted

[lapis thunder]

This looks so cool
INSTANT BUY

[tall turtle]

I'm me to the game

Anyone want to add me as friend

Or any tips

I play on Xbox one series s

[jagged wigeon]

Yeah ask in #players-helping-players

[thick root]

You should probably go ask in the players helping players section

[tall turtle]

Thank u

[jagged wigeon]

I don't see any, unless you mean in the steam workshop

Nvm I'm not as bright as I would like to think

[rotund nova]

sorry

in showcase

[hexed dragon]

Idk if it allowed here but anybody have tutorial on making tennogen skins?

[rotund nova]

look up hydroxate's video on youtube

[hexed dragon]

Okie

[rocky imp]

Impaktor fist renders, now with extra detailing.

[jagged wigeon]

It's impaktin' time

[unreal hull]

Does it have stats yet ?

[onyx arch]

my brain: it pancake-making time

[round pewter]

=]

[rocky imp]

Tennogen are just skins I'm afraid, no stats.

Couple red renders too

And finally one more as I dont want to spam too much.

OK, just ONE more because it came out too well

[zenith flax]

Ooooo.... It really did 👀

[lyric abyss]

i feel the red square should be the weird grineer symbol

[rocky imp]

I did try that originally but I felt the common grineer square was better in the end. The grineer logo is on the side instead and helps add a splash of colour to the side profile.

[lavish drift]

do someone know why there isn't dual sword skin, there is so much to do with those sword, and I think they deserve it because neither the saryn deluxe or the loki deluxe skin aren't great

[spiral oxide]

hydrolic fists
im lovin it

[celest nest]

If I remember correctly, de still hasn't allowed us to make dual swords so nobody can submit one as category doesn't exist

[rotund nova]

What if we upload 2 same sword 2 times?

[rotund nova]

Now this sounds like henry cooldown type of stuff....go on

[rotund nova]

Woah that's amazing

[past fable]

I would love to buy it!

[gleaming wedge]

Hey, very specific question but does anyone know how the articulation point works with blade and whips?

do I get to specify where I want it or is it set in stone

if i do how, if i don't then how do i know where it is?

[lyric abyss]

are those even allowed for tennogen?

[gleaming wedge]

ye

at least the tennogen tool on steam has a specific section for them

it even mentions the articulation point but it only says that you can have one, nothing about how or where

[karmic prism]

I've always wondered if you need to copyright the models somehow or is it something that automatically links to the Steam account when you upload?

[lyric abyss]

DE owns them if they are in the game

[celest nest]

You automatically own the copyright on steam, and DE then purchases copyright from you for consoles

[dry raven]

Hi there, I am here to ask how i do fix the pink error when I want to use warframe shader? thanks.

[amber oyster]

What year of substance painter are you using?

[dry raven]

@amber oyster 2022 sir

im watching the this tutorial ->https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1FlEvFUp3Dk&list=PLR3SGizvoHb9zRbROrhuE9vrkZ_bevSEb&index=5&t=133s&ab_channel=Hydroxate
and i dont have the pbr allegorithmic he chose

and also shelf is gone. Help me please 😅 🤣

[amber oyster]

Oh yeah you just need an updated version of the shader

One sec

[dry raven]

Hi im new in Substance 3D painter, i want to draw an emission, but the layer seem like kinda different from other tint, how should i do it?

[celest nest]

Make a fill layer, assign emissive tag to it and paint in mask

Make sure your emissive is set to bright white

[dry raven]

sorry, not quite understand on how to tag it😭

[celest nest]

Enable emissive channel in the fill layer and disable every single other one

And by doing so, also assign white as rgb color to your emissive

[dry raven]

like this?

[celest nest]

No

Create a new fill layer

Actually, it might be fill layer? I don't see the icon

If it is, if you click on the layer itself, you will be able to see a list of channels you can enable

[dry raven]

now for the mask part i have these 2

at this part i add fill my self, it originally nothing there

and why am i still at tint3 color since im editing emissive?

[celest nest]

Click on the layer itself and open the layer parametrs window

Delete that fill on the layer itself

If you don't see a glow on the layer, it means emissive on it is not enabled, which is likely

[dry raven]

this 1? sorry im so noob 🤣

[celest nest]

It's ok. Let me fire up the painter and I'll show

[dry raven]

alright thank you sir ❤️

[celest nest]

It should look like this

And then you draw in the mask itself and it will start glowing

[dry raven]

'

[celest nest]

Don't also forget to values to your channels either

[dry raven]

why mine doesnt have the emiss?

[celest nest]

Disable every single channel except for Emissive

[celest nest]

You need to add emissive yourself to texture set

Open Texture Set Settings window and add some textures until they look like what I posted

((You can avoid adding opacity if you don't have any transparent elements)

[dry raven]

uhm where is it?😅

im so sorry

[celest nest]

Click on the + symbol in that menu

[dry raven]

i cant find channel in here

[celest nest]

You don't add channels there

You need to add those channels to your overarching material set

In here

[dry raven]

so like this?

[celest nest]

Yes

It should unlock a new customizer for channel, make it just full white

[dry raven]

@celest nest holy so bright lol

[celest nest]

Yeah I'd remove various effects while texturing

And also keep emissives at like 30% brightness, or else they'll blow out the engine in game

[dry raven]

as in control the grey scale?

[celest nest]

As in, dial down your mask

It's better to not keep it at 100%

[dry raven]

okay sir

and i want to ask this too, when i export,i didnt see the tint map, what am i suppose to do on this?

[celest nest]

You can compose tintmap yourself in exporter, or use provided DE exporter

You don't need height map for export btw, it's all baked into normal

[dry raven]

ahh i see, but the de exporter you mean is also in substance painter too?

[celest nest]

You download it from tennogen help site

And put it into substance export preset folder

[dry raven]

and i more thing im confusing is

tint0= primary color
tint1=secondary
tint2=3rd
tint3= metalic
emissive= energy color

right?

and isnt substance painter cna create tintmap too?

[dry raven]

what do i did wrong?

[celest nest]

Correct

Check your other tints

They must be incorrectly set up

[dry raven]

it just that i not sure what is correct hahahaha

[celest nest]

Show other tints

Just click on the layers themselves

[dry raven]

for operator accessories just need the primary color and the metalic right?

[celest nest]

I don't remember, I never done any operator accessories. But I want to see this menu

On other layers

[celest nest]

Ok, which tint is it?

[dry raven]

the red 1

the 1 with do not touch

[celest nest]

Ok, and scroll down, what does it say in User0 line?

[dry raven]

this right?

[celest nest]

No. This menu, scroll it down

[celest nest]

Ok, and the rest

[celest nest]

Looks fine

[dry raven]

shlould i like paint anything on here?

seem like tinkmask is here

but the file it export is just this

[celest nest]

It's mask, you can paint anything there

If you paint soemthing white on black mask, it will be visible

Your exporter is not configured for tintmap export

You will need to either use default DE's export preset, or configure your own, making export map for tint be RGB+A, where RGB pulls from user channels and A from alpha, which is reserved for User1

[dry raven]

de's export preset means the layers? or theres some setting on the export part

[celest nest]

There's specific export preset

You can also customize what and how yiu export

De provides a special plug in for painter that will make it export correct maps

[dry raven]

owhhh

@celest nest now i think i got my tint map nice but what happen to the diffuse again lol

i gone all black when i export to tennogen

it gone*

[dry raven]

i mean the metallic part

[celest nest]

Metallic should be either 0 or 1 if you're doing metallness workflow. If it's specular map, it can be a gradation, but it will be more difficult to establish proper PBR value

What I'm saying is - give those black parts diffuse color, and make it about 70-80% white.

Not medium grey like the rest of the of the model. Metals are reflective, and yours right now is so dull it absorbs too much light

[dry raven]

so you mean that i have to make this black part grey? @celest nest

[celest nest]

No, that is a mask

[dry raven]

this?

i think it works! thanks so much sir!

[dry raven]

hi againm what if i want to render it? it turn all white in blender

this

[celest nest]

You could export a colorised diffuse fvrom painter

[dry raven]

alright thanks alot sir! ❤️ @celest nest

[rocky imp]

Ostron Heavy Blade work in progress

[soft plover]

ouuuu

me like

[rotund nova]

Good design to be based on the Grineer

[rotund nova]

Who said it's based on Grineer?

He

[uneven hull]

well this sword is 100% based

[rotund nova]

Hmmm can get few bendy shapes.

[rotund nova]

I love operator tennogen but sometimes it feels like a waste to buy alot of it since you can't even link it for others to see

[pearl flame]

hey if I use the warframe site launcher and have a steam acc for it as well and buy tennogen items on steam will they appear in my game using the warframe launcher? reason I ask is because the normal launcher doesn't have many tennogen items I had this in players helping players but thought maybe you lot could potentially help me because it hasn't come in yet and I bought 2 things trying it

[rotund nova]

if you use the steam side Warframe launcher to buy TennoGen stuff I think it should be there when you switch to the other launcher?

[pearl flame]

that's what I'm hoping for lol

[rotund nova]

That is how it works, yes

[wide plume]

Well there Travelling Merchant goes. Skinning again.

[thick root]

"it's skinning time"

• Travelling merchant probably

[rocky imp]

Testing materials, it's not done yet though.

[rocky imp]

Still needs some Ostron text and paint on it. Not sure what it'll say yet.

[idle hearth]

"Heavy Cut" "Big Blade" "Slash!"

Sounds a bit... Grineer

Idk

[rotund nova]

"Favourite Gun, Swazdo-Lah!"

but make it real tiny and put it somewhere unobtrusive

[nova goblet]

Unum’s Blessing or something like that

[rotund nova]

lame

call it "slab of metal, surah"

[rocky imp]

Went with "End"

[jagged wigeon]

This is as close as we'll ever get to a zaw skin

I'll take it

[rotund nova]

I'm still not a fan of this but the rest is

[rocky imp]

The excalibur buff he really needs.

[rotund nova]

my man, you just made Shakoblad from Spectrobes

[rocky imp]

Aw man I remember spectrobes. I don't remember that one but the beetle cannon one was so coo.

[rotund nova]

without trying to digress from TennoGen too much: Vilanox is one of my favourites too

especially the special alt version Vilakroma that came in gold, silver and red metallics

always wanted to make Warframe melee weapons that took inspiration from Spectrobes

[weak minnow]

oh so that's the famous anime that people are talking about
ostron-blade warframe

[unborn gorge]

ChainZaw Man

[dry canopy]

now wait for the nikana man

[fathom oyster]

So I'm completely new to Tennogen and have little experience with texturing, but I had a skin concept for Grendel rolling around my head for a bit, where it would basically be a Solaris United themed skin roughly based on the SU agent just outside Fortuna, and his belly being textured to look like the metal grate torso all SU workers have.

Ah also, do tennogen skins for Grendel also affect the appearance of his meatball form?

[thick root]

yes

Ball has to match the skin

[jade trellis]

Everyone listen!…

Um.. can we by chance (I’m not good at texturing or molding) Aquire knight skins and heaver armor/skins because I’m running like a crusader prest Harrow and I would love more of it.

(Blade of lotus is dope, just want my armor and knight bois)

[idle hearth]

okay, i can't move on anymore with my tennogen. i need a new laptop or a pc

thing keeps freezing when i use blender

i'd like to learn something new, sucks that software is the only thing holding me back

[lyric abyss]

skins cant change the module that much

[jade trellis]

Right, I’m talking more about the armor sets and helmets.

[lyric abyss]

oh. you did say skins though

[rotund nova]

hmm a "reaper" ash tennogen would look dope

Or a "traditional" ninja also for ash

[rotund nova]

Something like this but obviously with more warframe type components added into it

[leaden pulsar]

Also this type a outfit is more for a Drifter. But also it would be nice if we have ultimate skin for some frames in that ninja direction

They need to focus more in that style but with sci fi vibe then what we are getting this years

I think Baruk prime looks promising with that ninja vibe now all we need for him is some cool hooded helmet

[rotund nova]

I could see it being for drifter even though I much prefer the operator but I just adore the real ninja aesthetic that you see in alot of the time when people talk about ninja's

I only like operator more because I've spent more time and effort giving them a fashion

[leaden pulsar]

You can do that to on Drifter,with armor and syandana attachments 😏

[rotund nova]

I could I also don't have a whole lot of armor or standana's

mainly because I'm on switch and 95% traders here are rats who would blow up the tri-state area if it meant they could squeeze out an extra 5p for something that shouldn't even be sold for plat

and whenever you try to sell something here you get so many low-ballers that you start to think your watching elementary school basketball

[leaden pulsar]

Free armor that looks ok you can find from void trader and for example in Cetus from dude that craft swords. Nightwave also sometime offers some cool armors. Maybe on this upcoming nightwave we will get something unique

Also i don’t know why everyone is creating armor attachment in tennogen to look like something that look like you stuck some dead fish on your body it doesn’t really look like armor. I really wish for something that is good and looks like real armor

For example saturn 6 armor direction is only 1 armor that look like actual armor 😏 covers and shapes just perfectly and they are fit on everyone…

[rotund nova]

Ash have naked body with pancake arms

[celest nest]

That's essentially Loki but without horns

[runic oak]

Someday i hope we can get a pair of normal-looking glasses for our operator

[ivory radish]

define normality in terms of Warframe themes

[runic oak]

Frames that dont look like chunks of armor with visors. Like.. Thin-framed reading glasses o.o idk i just wanna make my drifter look more like me lol and none of the glasses options look like actual reading glasses and the one pair that does look close to it look weird cuz they are half moon ones that just float on your face

[night steppe]

Someone please start on voruna helmet designs

[rocky imp]

Working on an avian/kingfisher inspired dagger.

[pale crow]

Heyo I'm looking to colab with someone to make a Caliban Deluxe I'm not to good with the modelling program so I'd love a little help

[lyric abyss]

DE makes the deluxe skins

[pale crow]

Moreso concept art then

[dry raven]

hi just want to ask, if we do syandana with cloth material should we make the physic too?

[nova goblet]

Think DE does that, just had to be noted what is what

[thick root]

DE applies both animations and physics, but it's your job to make sure it doesn't cause clipping

[rocky imp]

Kingfisher daggers pretty much done

I went for a slightly sleeker look than the previews up above

[rotund nova]

Who made ash tsukuyomi?

[jagged wigeon]

Yatus

[runic oak]

I would just like to personally thank Faven and Erneix for making my favorite sets of skins for basically every frame lol

[terse garnet]

Imma just throw 2 ideas into the void here but
An ephermera that’s a couple of index points floating around you
A syandana that has a hood or the like

[nova goblet]

Ephemera ain’t part of tennogen.

[north oracle]

Hello! I really want to make assets for tennogen, can anyone give me a tutorial on style and design? At the moment, my level is displayed in this picture.

[celest nest]

This honestly looks so good that you could just try your hand as is and see how it goes

[rotund nova]

There is great potential here , not gon lie.

[sinful mulch]

That looks amazing

[thick root]

Its really good, my only critique is that it might be too organic

[celest nest]

It's a bit too chaotic and wispy in sculpting, but the technical level is definitely up there and rendering is also nice

And of course character seems to be retopoed and posed, so there's definitely absolutely no issues with skills

[thick root]

Might not get a skin in-game first try, but surely after DE has given feedback

[celest nest]

Maybe you'd want to join a tennogen specific discord? Pretty much all artists are there

[rotund nova]

I really liked how tint is broken down throughout the body. And if u don’t zoom , looks like good decent skin can be better with good sculpting techniques.
But yeah it doesn’t looks like he need any help ,it is just more someone do and gets better at it.

[rotund nova]

Don't forget there are also non-TennoGen creators on there who can provide fresh perspectives wink wink

No joke, joining the TennoGen discord gave so many new insights it almost flipped my perception of TennoGen completely

[radiant lodge]

I really should try my hand at blender again.

[shell talon]

Same, but I'll worry about that after I get some life stuff taken care of lol

[radiant lodge]

Fair. Hope it resolves soon

[shell talon]

Just working on getting a better job, really. Thank you, though!

[severe gorge]

I took a break to learn more...now I think i'll try my hand again!

[severe gorge]

is there one?

[celest nest]

yes

Can't post the link here

[severe gorge]

dm it to me?

[celest nest]

Here

[severe gorge]

k thanks

[shell talon]

https://discord.gg/PgdgGY8V

There ya go. 😛

[celest nest]

And now we all going to be banned and unbanned twenty times in a row

But yeah, thanks, that's the one

[severe gorge]

thanks man!

minion could you pin it?

[shell talon]

We try to keep pins to only things from DE or rule related stuff. Sorry!

[severe gorge]

ok no worries

[celest nest]

That's fine. Also keep in mind, first thing you see in that chat channel when you join is someone giving out discord nitro - yeah don't click that, we can't actually yeet that account

He got compromised and stuck

[radiant lodge]

That seems a bit risky

[rotund nova]

I made another server, but unfortunately DE can not join

So it died

[radiant lodge]

We can't help you here, you'll have to go to #support-and-bugs

[rotund nova]

But yeah, the current tennogen discord has no moderation

[celest nest]

It's chill, we don't need moderation. Except for getting rid of that discord nitro guy

Everybody pretty much is a 3D professional there

[rotund nova]

Yeah, just sucks DE can stay in that one but not join new one

I would not even mind having them as server admin

I could promote, but I think there are legal issues

[north oracle]

@rotund nova @sinful mulch @thick root @celest nest @rotund nova thanks for kind words, ill try learn something from traditional theory of art about big-medium-small and then make another character in 2 days (this created for 44 hours)

[rotund nova]

Yeah , keep working man . Goodluck

[still wadi]

What is tennogen?

[short meadow]

Tennogen is a category of cosmetics that are created by the players and for the players of Warframe. Some Warframes are pushed to the peak of fashion because of the skins created by the Tennogen creators.

[short meadow]

Wouldn't it be possible to make a bladed horn helmet? I mean in the end it's just making a helmet with a sharper horn so it could pretty much meet the requirements of a Tennogen Excal helmet? right?

[rocky imp]

Sure, it's possible. That screenshots just a joke though because I accidently put the sword in his head.

[thick root]

It's been done before

But just for rhino. I still don't get why this one was rejected tho

[rotund nova]

Who was it made by?

[rotund nova]

Pointy horn maybe

🤨

[short meadow]

I think it has not met the requirements of Rhino's Tennogen, doesn't the frame skins each have conditions to get implemented in the game?

Like how all Excal helmets need the like of a horn

Except Ion. Ion is weird for that matter

[thick root]

It's rather the opposite of that, DE prefers varied designs, something that stands out

My sevagoth was rejected for the helmet being too close to the OG

[celest nest]

I bet that if I made a rhino with horn even bigger, half of his body, it would be accepted simply because of how odd it would look

But I also think that helmet was one of the most solid Rhino helmets in the workshop

[onyx arch]

I wonder if it b/c there are somewhat eye holes in this helmet that it cant be accepted? is it not suppose to look like a face?

[rocky imp]

Hard to say. It's whatever DE likes and dislikes that gets in, not what we do sadly.

Plenty of cool stuff in the workshop that's not been accepted.

[thick root]

I think it would have gotten accepted if it was a full skin with body, you have more freedom when doing that

[still wadi]

If something’s in the workshop can i use it or no?

[rocky imp]

No, it has to be accepted into the game to be used. Workshops just how they are submitted.

[idle hearth]

a rhino helmet with 2 horns, similar to an actual rhino, might be interesting

one might make it look like an excal a bit

[restive swift]

Kinda wish DE would accept Corpra Mesa. That and the artist make more Corpra skins https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1712014506

I know the artist made concept art for Corpra Saryn a while back, but https://www.reddit.com/r/Warframe/comments/myn1ni/corpra_saryn_concept_for_tennogen_going_more/ https://i.redd.it/9fni51kocfv61.jpg

[nova goblet]

Even if not as a corpus themed skin, would work great as a solaris one

[restive swift]

Eh, Solaris bodies are made / augmented by the Corpus anyway, so technically it still fits?

Though if the artist has to redesign it to """properly fit Corpus themes""", maybe Corpra Mesa could be based on one of the Parvos Sister armors, or those Scrambus units

[thick root]

Frelling is done with tennogen

[restive swift]

Bit of a shame if that's the case. I still find it dumb the peeps in the Steam comments got heated over the TennoGen entry having a hood of all things

[rotund nova]

Bruh what why would people get upset over a hood

[nova goblet]

Idk, it’s so weird

[rotund nova]

Idk I kinda wanna see more nidus skins

[raw pier]

Hey, does anyone know when this cross play will be available please ?

I want to transfer my account to ps5 😄

[leaden pine]

Cross-platform play is available right now, between all platforms. Not quite sure why you're asking in the tennogen chat though
Cross save does not have a date set to it yet, it's just "soon"

[raw pier]

Okay thank you so much 🙂

[lyric abyss]

this has nothing to do with this channel

[zenith flax]

The hood on Corpra Mesa was a big part of why I liked it, it's really cool and fits into the outlaw theme of Mesa a little

[ivory radish]

something something destiny 2 rip-off

I vaguely remember that sorta feedback when it was still being modeled

[weak minnow]

really? it's like you can't change your character's appearence in destiny 2

[thick root]

That wasn't the reason

iirc DE simply didn't think it fit well with the corpus faction

I think it would have gotten accepted if frelling made it for solaris, but that faction unfortunately wasn't allowed for tennogen entries at the time

[radiant lodge]

There is no need for name calling.

[thick root]

Sorry, i thought the word was harmless

[rotund nova]

Is there a reason some people who make tennogen only have their stuff on PC or is that a decision that de makes?

[ivory radish]

The context was reason for the hate comments on its Steam workshop page, not DE's reasons for not accepting it.
Though I do agree it'd do better as Solaris faction themed

[rotund nova]

It’s up to DE most of the time , but artists can also choose.

[twilit tulip]

Hello guys!!

I have a question, if Warframe has already resolved the drop of the syndana.? I looked at the awards for 1 hour and 15 minutes and I didn't receive anything. Does anyone know about that? Thank you

[radiant lodge]

You'll have to contact the hosts of the awards. I ended up watching a little over two hours before mine came in

[wicked swan]

Do you think when cross save comes in pc will buy tennogen with plat or console will buy tennogen with money...or nothing will change

[radiant lodge]

We'll have to see

[obtuse spoke]

Quick question, Why arn't gold metals allowed for tennogen?

(Was reading the checklist thing just now)

[celest nest]

Gold is reserved for primes, and primes are made by DE alone

[radiant lodge]

Yeah. Gold is prime. Players can recolor, of course, if they so choose. I think silver works nicely as a substitute.

[rotund nova]

you can go for darker brass tones or rose gold tho

[desert belfry]

I always learn something new

[radiant lodge]

This channel is for Tennogen discussion. Kdrive builds should go in #builds-discussion or #gameplay-discussion

[tepid hull]

does anyone making cosmetics for Drifter?
like Syandana, Armors

but more suitable for drifter fashion instead of Frames

idk, maybe I want more small sized backpacks as Syandana or something

[amber oyster]

It’d be difficult to do that as we don’t have a reference model for the drifters and it’s more feasible for us to make items like that to be used on both warframes and drifters/Kahl. Especially since the devs look at them specifically for warframes

[rotund nova]

question:
is there a way to get my old ps4 account on my computer? i play through epic games

[serene thorn]

No- cross save isn't a thing yet

[lyric abyss]

that has nothing to do with tennogen

[weak minnow]

i'm pretty sure someone was working on it

i think it was LuaLuminary

[jagged wigeon]

If a skin for Caliban were Corpus themed, would that just be amalgam or would it be like the corpra skins where it's full on corpus?

[thick root]

full corpus, we dont get to do certain factions or subfactions until DE says so

[solemn lintel]

Ngl he looks like he has a baseball cap on

[jagged wigeon]

Ah that makes sense, thanks for the clarification

[rotund nova]

DE gave me the go ahead on amalgam Caliban

He is a special case due to his theme

[rotund nova]

Trying to think of ways around this ATM. Because of the shape of Narmer veils it will always sort of look like a hat

[uneven hull]

wait, what's caliban

[wintry fog]

A sentient themed warframe

[shell talon]

Let's keep discussions of different kinds to the appropriate channels. 😄 #switch-squad-recruitment in this case. 🙂

[dark sorrel]

ı hope this skin com to game

[rotund nova]

working on it

[thick root]

is that ai generated

[rotund nova]

Is that a sword gun?

Sword gun

Gun sword same thing at the end of the century

[thick root]

I can't tell what is going on with that thingy

[manic furnace]

Yeah I just thought it looked like a cool design…

[manic furnace]

No it’s a great sword

[ivory radish]

yeah it does not look like one any bit

[rotund nova]

It does not

What is shown here is barely comprehensible and does not translate at all into what would be needed to make a TennoGen skin based on this alone.

Also that's not how ai should be used

[eager quail]

We do not allow the posting of AI generated images in this server. If you have ideas for tennogen content, perhaps try your hand at the design or commission an artist.

[jovial jackal]

Question; any chance we'd get some skin inspired by the keyblade armors from Kingdom Hearts Birth By Sleep? That, together with some of the weapon skins would so much satisfy my kingdom hearts heart!

[ivory radish]

Blade of the Lotus skins is the closest you will get

[rotund nova]

Pretty much yeah :v

[weak cloak]

Unless DE and square enix make a deal it will never happen for the exact reasons listed above

[thick root]

That's oddly specific

[crimson lantern]

That's copyright law.

[solid pulsar]

I'm a huge Kingdom Hearts fan, but just as an FYI we tend to reject stuff that comes down to "item from [Game X] but in Warframe" -- artistically that's not what we want out of TennoGen, even before you get into all the technical and legal stuff! : )

Hey everyone! Just swinging in to let folks know about a small policy change for TennoGen Submissions as it relates to spoiler etiquette with a certain character who debuted in The New War! Artists will no longer have to keep this character out of screenshots & titles as we ourselves at DE have shown the character in promo material for Angels of the Zariman and our Duviri Paradox demo!

https://forums.warframe.com/topic/1335691-tennogen-the-new-war-spoiler-policy-update/

[celest nest]

Ok, we can't make keyblades, but what about Lockswords then

[swift crow]

if only one could have a lock and key sword n' shield skin

[rotund nova]

And when Door shield.

[jovial jackal]

I completely understand all the above, then what about the xenoblade we got? xD

[rotund nova]

Which one?

[rotund nova]

[viral path]

when is the next tennogen set droppin'?

[rotund nova]

No set

They might start dropping regular like every month or so?

[rotund nova]

I would absolutely not mind having like one or two TennoGen items drop every month if possible

[rotund nova]

Guys i think deer windigo theme for oberon is soo cliche , i think i am gonna approach a new theme.

Ok i am taking this down , you guys can dm me any questions. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2373617714 its just waste space there right now. And i have baddest ideas for him currently. Which ill work on , thank god no deadline thingy.

Pls don't take it down

Also literally why take it down in the first place, what "space" is it wasting?

Steam workshop page .?

DE did gave me feedback , but i am too lazy to work on it.

I think the amount i take to do feedback i can just take 3x amount and make something bettah.

Yeah, but just leave it up there and don't care

No need to remove it from the workshop

Mhm….. but my ocd

Give me good reason why it should stay there.

It's for archival purposes

For the people?

Yes

[rotund nova]

Archive deez nuns

Because I know a couple people (me included) who like to go through the workshop and talk about old rejected stuff sometimes

Eh ok ill just dont look at workshop and see and think oh look your unfinished rejected stuff.

Doable

Are you embarrassed by it?

Kinda yeah , the detailing is cringe there ,

Helmet looks hd , and body 360

Only thing that is making this skin look good is that swirly material.

Maybe thats my imposter syndrome.

Its ok , but i can do better now.

Then leave as a point of reference. To show viewers how you progressed.

That stuff is hella interesting

Thats what i thimk

Like how I like to look at my older Captura stuff that has really not aged well

You already changed my mind , i am already convinced

phew

glad to hear that

You make good captura posters for my room wall.

Neat stuff ,

[sharp jay]

Hllo

[thick root]

"the detailing is cringe" lmao what a way to put it

[ruby bluff]

Addedd cross save?

[radiant lodge]

Not yet. Cross play is still under test.

[humble axle]

Sad to hear you aren't planning to move forward giving that's one of the highly requested and viewed skin. Been keeping tabs on it personally. I don't think it's cliche and its different from the others. And I mean Oberon is literally a deer.
Given so many feel in love with it over the years I think it would be nice to do the recommended changes and fixes so the fans can get their favorite skin. Worth the wait kind of like paradox update.

[native mirage]

Incorrect actually, he is a fairy . Oberon is based off the character Oberon the Fairy King

[humble axle]

Just read up lore that's cool. But I was just referring to aesthetics, body and many of the alt helmets are like bovine/cervidae

[native mirage]

Ah. My bad. Would be cool to see some Elvish helmets for oberon

[celest nest]

He's goatmaster

[rotund nova]

No , he is goat of rebbeca that started walking onto 2 feets with belly fat as loin cloth front. And walked straight into warframe TV .

Now just imagine

[lyric abyss]

what does this have to deal with tennogen?

[rotund nova]

mad props to you for recognizing that Oberon is, in fact, a deer (or stag) and not a goat

[uncut eagle]

Wait people thought he was a goat?

He’s definitely a deer

[jagged wigeon]

I thought he looked like a satyr so I'm one of the misguided

[rotund nova]

Satyr is really close but he was designed after the mythical "white stag"

hence why he looks white in his default colours

[rotund nova]

He is ugly

any other bad takes you want to share with the class?

Fat basemesh. Looks like a distended belly. I know it is modelled after the torso of a deer, but he looks like a chubby hotdog with legs

[rotund nova]

You mean based?

no, bad. bad as in cringe, uneducated and maidenless.

Look at that fat tube

No shape

Looks like my brother in-law

And all he does is drink beer all day and sit in his gamer chair

oh nose, his body isn't V shaped

Yup

Will never make a skin for him

are you suggesting that that's a loss?

[rotund nova]

I care more about the front to back depth tbf

Not really the lack of taper

[rotund nova]

Fiesty, aren't we

Erniex made it work by giving him a chunky neck to match his weird body shape

Made him look more seemless

[rotund nova]

I fee him hard till he grew extra chins everywhere

[celest nest]

Oberon actually has a pretty pleasant shape if you need to make something organic

But he is, admittedly, shaped like diet coke on ballerina legs

[thick root]

Yeah, his body does look goofy

His prime is even worse

Actual tin can with legs

[rotund nova]

Well for me i love these weird body shaped warframes. Makes them unique , unlike Stynax who is just a human with bad posture .

Ivara is litrally frog forced to stand on legs.

[rotund nova]

We just cleared that he's a deer

[rotund nova]

Oh deer

[rotund nova]

How difficult is it to get something you made put into the game?

[jagged wigeon]

In terms of Dark Souls bosses, or like on a scale from 1 to calculus?

[rotund nova]

It depends , if you follow tennogen guide lines and satisfy DE. But they do give feedback if it’s not compatible.

What I would recommend is think what would DE say to your stuff before you post it to tennogen .

[rotund nova]

Elden ring bosses?

[rotund nova]

Ah I see

Been thinking about making something

[celest nest]

Generally speaking, it's not that hard if you have a few years of modelling experience, and it's very hard if you have no experience.

Which, I guess, can be applied to literally every single other job related... anything in the world.

[thick root]

With experience, medium difficulty for understanding warframes art direction and style. No experience, very hard since you need to do the aforementioned but also learn basic art principles and technical stuff.

[rotund nova]

Ah I see I see

[dry frigate]

can someone help me in the last mission of Farma o atlas?

[lyric abyss]

what does this have to do with tennogen?

let them answer for themselves

[pallid plover]

does anyone have a model for the stropha i need it for a 3d printing thing and i cannot find it in the tennogen resources
btw the slicer i use only accept obj or stl

[lyric abyss]

because it isnt tennogen, it wont be in the resourses.

[rocky imp]

Slowly working on V2 version of my Impaktor fists after the feedback round before Christmas. It's still a heavy WIP but I think the new version is coming along quite nicely.

[rotund nova]

Goode

[amber oyster]

Looking schnazzy

[wide plume]

Getting some good ol Unreal Tournament Impact Hammer vibes here and that's a good thing.

[rocky imp]

Impaktor V2's are textured now. There's probably a few tweaks I'll make before calling it done but I wanted to share a few pics

[pale crow]

I have little to no clue how to use the 3D models to make something but I'd like to design a skin for Limbo or Sev if someone wants to colab with me

[pallid plover]

you can download blender to edit the models provided in tennogen resources if you need help with blender there are many great tutorials

[pale crow]

I don't have a pc

[golden hinge]

Next tennogen wave when?

[weak minnow]

i don't think there's anything about it as of now

[hexed dragon]

Is it possible to work with tennogen creators?

[amber oyster]

Yup! Depends on their individual availability, willingness, and the idea/concept

[native mirage]

I would love to see some Cthulhu mythos inspired Tennogen

[amber oyster]

I mean there’s a great Tennogen hydroid helmet that fits the look really well

Night hunter stuff too

[pale crow]

I'm willing to colab and draw up some rough sketches for skins if someone else can handle the modeling

Shoot me a dm if that's the case

Personally I've been scheming a skin for Lavos that references a sub mariner

But it could also be reworked for vauban

[eager quail]

The place for concepts on the forums, this channel is for Tennogen.

[thick root]

Modellers are more willing to collab if you show the concept first or if you have a good portfolio

[viral path]

when is the next tennogen set dropping

[eager quail]

#players-helping-players

[eager quail]

Either #players-helping-players or your platform specific channel.

[dark ibex]

Is the Nyx Aures skin available on PlayStation?

[golden hinge]

Anyone please knight like excalibur tennogen

[rocky imp]

Corpus fists I've been working on

[rotund nova]

mmmh, the improved metallic materials look great

[unborn gorge]

Hot

[rocky imp]

Thanks!

[white copper]

Looks like it would be a tenet weapon. I’ll take it! Gimme now

[native mirage]

Tenet Fist weapons, why isnt DE hiring you for these designs

[rocky imp]

Haha that would be neat

[native mirage]

Also, Idea For 2 Tennogens, Caliban Amalgam (maybe like one of theses Moas) and a Xaku themed around Orokin Towers

[idle hearth]

i'm guessing you are going to work on infested and sentient fists next

[rocky imp]

Who knows, maybe!

[jagged wigeon]

Someone's making a Narmer Caliban that's "amalgam" themed but if anyone has any ideas for Corpus-Sentient amalgam that should be an open spot

[idle hearth]

some kind of moa legs for the arms, modified moa-sentient head

[jagged wigeon]

Full on moa Caliban, just call it "Kernel"

[idle hearth]

a corpus-sentient drone syndana might fit later..or the drone wings would be his back shoulder pads/armour and the head/body could be the start of the spine at the top.

or thighs and crotch

[jagged wigeon]

That sounds like a sick idea, hopefully someone takes that into account

[native mirage]

true, but make it More Amalgam

[short meadow]

As i would say in my language, "Téma la taille du rat!" These gauntlets are humongous, noice.

[native mirage]

Two Caliban helmet ideas, The Nazareth and Dazera Helmet

[jagged wigeon]

Okay, these are sick

[native mirage]

Just relized, Wukongs little Hair things look very Sentient :>

[quaint mortar]

I would kill for these
Gimme

[idle hearth]

Suggestions? Planning a sevagoth helm. Getting more ram for my laptop. I was trying to work with 4gb ram before. No wonder why I was having trouble with my styanax helm

I never finished my styanax helm

[idle hearth]

i think this is a good start

[idle hearth]

it's very quiet here

[idle hearth]

little update

[weak minnow]

yeah, sometimes this place is very quiet
btw, nice helmet! really like the looks

[jagged wigeon]

I would give a suggestion but I don't have any

[amber oyster]

Great start!

[ivory radish]

I would mention that the helmet looks slightly disproportionate compared to the concept, but it might as well be the viewport camera
other than that, keep up the progress!

[idle hearth]

yeah, it's a bit tough to get it exact but i'm working on it

[ivory radish]

You got this

[idle hearth]

i like the drape that wraps around the head, i feel like i need something for the top of the head though

[amber oyster]

Honestly it’s kinda fun when the design evolves as you go. Yeah a little something to spice the shape up maybe?

Davy jones’ crew from pirates of the Caribbean might have some fun features you could experiment with

[native mirage]

A horn maybe? like what the shadow has?

[idle hearth]

maybe

[native mirage]

Or maybe have the drape flow outwards like what that one baruuk skin has?

[thick root]

Simple ball shaped head is something you want to avoid. DE really wants a silhouette that stands out from other helmets

Rather than using one single shape, you should combine multiple to create something unique

This was my first entry, as you can see, my helmet is very much ball shaped, silhouette just wasnt unique enough, so it got rejected

Adding smaller shapes to it like the horn isnt enough. The whole shape needs to be interesting from its foundation

[idle hearth]

okay, i like the eye disign and the drape that wraps around, i just need a more complex shape

i think i just need to add more to it instead to change the shape some more

[idle hearth]

i have an idea, i just need some time to learn and execute it

[celest nest]

Take your time, just practice and experiment daily

And mostly have fun. People who make stuff because it's fun end up making way more money than people who just model for money

[idle hearth]

I should at least try getting a visual to preserve the idea

[hard hamlet]

I wonder why theres no tennogen skins for like half of the melee weapon types

[native mirage]

Why not use the drapes like that one Baruuk skin?

Like this

I'm thinking like this, with the drape covering one eye

[amber oyster]

Some types of weapons just aren’t on the list of items we can make skins for. Could be due to some tech/animation limitations, who knows

[hard hamlet]

Dang

I wanted to make a staff zaw for exodia contagion cause ooltha has the highest riven dispo

But all the currently available skins dont look nearly as good as polearms

Tbh they could just turn all the staves into polearms and i dont think anyone would mind

Theres not even a clear design difference between them

[amber oyster]

Staves are more like a beat stick than the polearms. People have made stave skins, me included, but idk if any have been accepted. It’s hard cuz it’s a less popular weapon class so people are not as interested in making them. Kinda not worth it lol

[eternal vortex]

wow

[rotund nova]

why do you want that emo anti-swag?

[radiant lodge]

Please keep discussion in this channel related to Tennogen. Thank you.

[rotund nova]

Wrong channel and no there's no news about cross save

[lyric abyss]

what does this have to deal with tennogen?

[idle hearth]

uh...splitting went wrong

face dissolving made it worse

fixed it

[idle hearth]

that might do better

[idle hearth]

working with squares isn't as easy as spheres

[wanton dome]

On the topic of wondering why x doesn't have y; Why aren't there more OG skins? Let me clarify. Older frames have a simple but functional look to them, usually a little Lotus symbol on there. Think base Mag, Frost, Rhino. Now, compare them to newer frames that are just so much more complex for no reason, to the point they look primed already, like Voruna, Gyre, Wisp, Wukong. Why don't we have like, throwback skins?

[thick root]

Because rather than giving frames that already have skins, there are others who has fewer or none, that deserves some

Sevagoth that i'm working on has none at all

and gauss that i recently made a skin for only has 2 despite being 2 years old

[lyric abyss]

i want a xaku skin thats looks like parts of corpus, grineer, and infested

[thick root]

Mixed factions is a no no for DE

[lyric abyss]

maaan.

[thick root]

Infested being an exception

[idle hearth]

xaku should be an exception

[wanton dome]

Xaku already is an exception

[jagged wigeon]

Tennogen at home: xaku

[idle hearth]

so i can make a xaku made of grineer, corpus and sentient?

finding colors that fit will be hard, but never impossible

[spare plume]

A muted Teal falls under grineer, Corpus, and infested

[wraith crest]

styanax in excal category?

[amber oyster]

He wasn’t an option on the upload list so excal is my default lol

I wondered if anyone would notice

[wraith crest]

oh lol yeah i was looking for styanax stuff

[amber oyster]

I’ll see if it’s updated. So far that’s the only helmet uploaded but I think others are working on stuff

Ah yeah styanax is still not an upload option for us to select in the Tennogen viewer unfortunately, just needs an update

[native mirage]

I would like Xaku to be themed around the Corrupted

[hard hamlet]

Hoping next round comes with a Machete skin, i fell in love with the slaytra but it looks kinda meh

Kind of all good machetes do when i think about it

Scikles and hatchets could fall into the machete category, couldnt they?

Id love to see a machete skin thats a cool looking hatchet

I love axes but not a fan of heavy blades so

[wanton dome]

I'm gonna hang on to the hope of simple throwback skins for busy frames. Like, I love Gyre, but she has waaaaaay too much going on for a base frame.

[hard hamlet]

Same, i love her style but damn

[idle hearth]

stretching the sphere is a bit troublesome, i think i shouldn't wrap it around.

[rotund nova]

I have been wanting to make one, just in a bit of a slump right now

[hard hamlet]

oh my
im looking forward to that, ive loved all the items you have done so far so im sure that will end up looking immaculate

[cunning current]

Okay
I have 0 skill/will to 3D model
So I'll just throw that idea

Oberon skin that mostly portray the fact most of his damage is radiation
Something very gritty while maintaining knight aesthetic
Oberheimer

[native mirage]

What if, the design could be almost like a Hazmat/weilder suit?

[cunning current]

could work
I just like knight aesthetic

[idle hearth]

oberon Hazknightian skin

[cunning current]

yee

[gaunt anchor]

I'm looking for a 3d modeler. The concept is half made, but i realize i can't do the 3d work by myself.

[white copper]

Looks like it would be an angel from the Anime “Platinum End”.

[shell talon]

If it's fan art, #fan-art . No memes on the server, please. 🙂 I also cleaned up several non-Tennogen related messages.

[terse flare]

Not sure if this is the right place to put this here, but I would love to see a tactical armor set through Tennogen at some point. Something like this. This is not my image, the original was posted by u/SYNIX2099 on the Warframe subreddit, and i thought it looked cool

[lyric abyss]

that would change the base model too much to be tennogen

[terse flare]

I just meant the armor on the Nyx's chest. The mix of Operator and Drifter armor

[zenith flax]

oh that's nice

[oblique jackal]

Idk I feel like it doesn't rlly look "warframey"

[white copper]

The style would be cool. It would kinda be like the “proto” skin that excal has already. But way more. Lol

[gaunt anchor]

if someone is interested in the collab, please dm me

[terse flare]

I mean a bit but it would fit the Proto skins very well.

[oblique jackal]

Yeah thats true

[onyx arch]

so a Proto skins style line? I think only DE can do something like that but I like that idea

[uneven hull]

doesn't Nyx.. already have a proto skin?

[white copper]

Yes

But it’s meh

It’s meh also. Lol

What nyx is inspired by.

[uneven hull]

i really should finish that game..

[white copper]

“Darksector”

[leaden pulsar]

What if...

[hard hamlet]

love how Erneix's Kuvael skins feel like successors of Faven's Graxx skins

he manages to explore the grineer theme so much more than the older, simpler skins

[shell talon]

#players-helping-players or #spoiler-chat . 🙂

[hard hamlet]

idea for a voruna tennogen skin:
-metallics on her hands and feet as if it were claws, also on her wolves' teeth
-helmet has braids, also metallic teeth just like her wolves

i saw that hildryn's alt helmet also has braids and i think it would look cool on voruna, would give her that sort of tribal warrior look

[native mirage]

Quick idea for a Caliban Alt helm (hopefully me reposting this after a long time is ok)

[spare plume]

I started trying my hand at 3/d modeling/tennogen this year and I have been working on a Corpus Stave skin, This is what I have so far. would it be safe to say this is a good point to move on from lowpoly/silhouette to doing more of the detailing? My plan/idea is to have a energy blade like the stropha going along the ends of the weapon out one receptacle into the other. I guess I am also just looking for general input/feedback as well.

[past fable]

I have tried to import a High model from Zbrush into substance Painter.
However, the detail on the High model is jagged.
Increasing the Output Size has no effect, and all the details are jagged.
I would appreciate it if you could tell me how to get the details created in Zbrush to reflect properly.
I will also save a picture of the bake settings.
I am having trouble pinpointing the cause of the problem after looking at the tutorial.

[native mirage]

Idea, Xaku themed Hammer skin?

[ivory radish]

ideas are good

[celest nest]

If you mean jaggies on the lines, looks like a resolution issue (too low)

A reason can be badly unwrapped uv map

[idle hearth]

if someone were to make a halo spartain themed helm for a frame, which frame would it be?

[uneven hull]

excalibur

[spring flint]

Styanax

Spartan helm for the Greek spartan themed frame.

[past fable]

I reviewed the UV and it cured it!
Thank you so much.
It seems that it is important to apply the UVs in Blender like example model.

[lament galleon]

And here, I make my case for an idea: I've been playing a lot of Yareli, and... I've been playing a lot of Bayonetta 3. Follow me here: a Bayonetta 3-inspired skin.
Making some use of the high femme model of Yareli, and getting the chance to do the usual "slap some gold on tennogen." It would also give us the chance to give her claws and heels more gold. And overall, add more gold all over the model.

[lyric abyss]

tennogen cant effect the base model that much

also gold is reserved for primes.

[lament galleon]

Y'all are slapping foil on the frames anyway, does it matter too much?

[lament galleon]

But noted on the transparent texture.

[small mirage]

Is anyone working in any new skins that could apply to the ‘Shield and Weapon’ type? Like new Silva and Aegis or Axe and Brunt … the one with Baruuk? I feel like it’s under represented and needs some love.

[lyric abyss]

are they allowed for tennogen anyway?

[celest nest]

No

[rotund nova]

*Trojan but yes

there were so many different helmet designs back in the day

[spring flint]

You know what I meant.

[rotund nova]

no no, your point still stands

[spring flint]

It’s still a very fun idea. I’d probably pay money to get it. And I don’t spend money on much.

[hard hamlet]

Kinda wanted styanax to be a bulkier hercules rather than a skinny spartan foot soldier

His skinny design limits a lot of helmet shapes imo

Cant imagine a lot of more horizontal helmets not looking goofy

[celest nest]

Yeah me too. He's a bit anorexic

[rotund nova]

Yeah me too.

[celest nest]

Let's work out and become absolutely yayant.

[rotund nova]

Been doing for year

[rotund nova]

*Trojan

(I'm seriously willing die on this hill correcting everyone he's Trojan and not Spartan)

[hard hamlet]

yeah it does seem like hes trojan after looking up his namesake astyanax, who was the son of a trojan prince

also a species of fish for whatever reason

cant really blame ppl for getting it wrong tho, looking up both spartan and trojan soldiers they look virtually the same

[rotund nova]

I'd say that's because they both Greek but that'd be wrong too since Troja wasn't actually in Greece. They still share some similarities tho since they're from the same region.

But at this point it pretty much becomes so nitpicky I don't really mind or care that no one has this on their radar.

[idle hearth]

here is a voruna skin suggestion that someone can make. Akhult: a wolf-orca hybrid from inuit mythology

[rotund nova]

troja was in modern day turkey

[jagged wigeon]

Lmao trojan horse helmet must've already been thought of

[dreamy wolf]

and here I am who can barely make a donut in blender

[waxen badger]

Surprised no one has though of making a syandana that's tree like or branches. something naturesque.

just an idea for anyone who wants to snag it

[ivory radish]

ideas are good

[rotund nova]

same region as in somewhere in and around Greece. Troy was still a neighbour to Greece as it was in somewhere north-west of modern day Turkey

[jagged wigeon]

Volt Proto deluxe syandana has got you covered for that, but jokes aside tree/branch does sound like a great concept for nature related frames

[gleaming vine]

are we allowed to make coupled helmets like mag-gauss helmets?

[native mirage]

Make a Banshee Helmet called Sevagoth Helmet

[gleaming vine]

thats not an answer to my question

[celest nest]

Why not. At worse DE will ask you to rename it

[thick root]

Naming is the least of your worries, design is everything

[uncut eagle]

We need more knight skins

[ivory radish]

ideas are good

[uncut eagle]

Knight

[uncut eagle]

For revenant because he’s good rn

[lyric abyss]

you do realize they cant change the base model that much for tennogen, right?

[uncut eagle]

Ugh

Well someone tell DE to make one

[lyric abyss]

no

[meager thunder]

Is this only limited to skins/3D models or can people like me put up something that might be of interest for y'all? I'm super new and don't know how this works x-x I'll remove this if its wrong

[celest nest]

I mean, tennogen is just 3D skins, but if you're an artist, you can put up artworks and maybe work with some modeller who will implement it into game

[meager thunder]

Ok thx for the explanation,and I'm always up for working together with people

[hard hamlet]

Theres was that revenant wight skin or something on the workshop, it looks like a knight to me

[dusty path]

@agile galleon heya, that was Mirage mithra skin, also, i do use storm color for the skin, just a change of taste for Mirage =]]

[agile galleon]

Ah, yes, I see. And I suppose it's a bit safer to alter the colour a bit for the server. After all, I did get a formal warning about it not too long ago. Thanks for the info!

[hard hamlet]

wait, the last tennogen round was in AUGUST 2022?

the hell are they waiting for we got plenty of good skins in the workshop since then

[meager thunder]

Hey do any of y'all have a infested color palette I have an idea I want to color before sending it your way but have no clue for colors

[fluid cape]

when the next tennogen round would be in?

[meager thunder]

Ok,I'm not used to doing super bright colors but I'll try

[meager thunder]

X-x so here's the idea I got
I feel like it looks bad

[lyric abyss]

that most likely wont work because you change the model too much

[meager thunder]

I mean most of the body stuff can be changed to just be skin level,the whole idea for this one was based off of its skills

[lyric abyss]

the sword arm would be a no-go

[meager thunder]

Dern

Could it just be replaced with a hand but still have the messed up arm?

[lyric abyss]

as long as it doesnt change the base model

[meager thunder]

That's do able then

[rotund nova]

not "too much", it wouldn't work because they changed the model at all

[vast iris]

More Oberon skins :)

[twin yacht]

bro they made citrine mad thicc

[lyric abyss]

what does this have to do with tennogen?

[twin yacht]

idk i couldnt find general

[lyric abyss]

well this isnt general

[twin yacht]

my bad bro

[radiant lodge]

There is no general channel on this server. To discuss the game, please use #gameplay-discussion

[wet mirage]

now that they arent doing rounds of tennogen, when are they gonna add new tennogen and will they tell us?

[lyric abyss]

how would we know?

[twin yacht]

oh ok

[vital sentinel]

how does someone go about submitting a Tenno gen Idea !

[lyric abyss]

thats not a thing

[ivory radish]

ideas are good

[lyric abyss]

i think thats sarcasm

[ivory radish]

indeed, and there's always something better than just ideas

[shell talon]

#pc-squad-recruitment or #gameplay-discussion if you're looking for a cross-play squad.

[vital sentinel]

well thanks that was incredibly helpful ! loool

[old hollow]

I apologize, I'm sure I'm not the first to ask, but what's the plan/eta for cross save? Does anyone know?

[spring flint]

Eventually. Probably an update on it’s progress by Tennocon at the latest.

[lyric abyss]

why ask here though?

[jagged wigeon]

I'd imagine there's a conspiracy about asking for cross save in this channel given how many times it happens

[celest nest]

Citrine's model is absolute nightmare to work on. All of those crystals? Yeah, they're individually modelled.

[spring flint]

Wow.

That’s terrifying.

Can only imagine how many hours that took to create.

[celest nest]

I am 99.9% certain all those crystals were created via geometry nodes or some sort of generator, not by hand

[meager thunder]

X-x unless someone wants weapon stuff I'ma not bother showing anything here again

[spring flint]

The point still stands. It took some work, and I respect that.

[wanton dome]

It's why I keep saying she looks like a deluxe skin off the bat. Just like Voruna and Gyre, just entirely too busy for a base frame. Inuzuka needs to chill on ankle loops too.

[spring flint]

They’ve gotten more dynamic. It’s not a bad thing, just different.

[velvet sable]

Citrine´s concept art was made by Keith tho wasnt it?

[cloud wolf]

If someone makes a rwby type look for the new gunblade scythe idc if it cost $20 ima buy it

[native mirage]

I'd like to see some Xaku tennogen

I had one idea themed around the Void Orokin Tileset

[radiant lodge]

Xaku is one of the more difficult frames to work with.

[rotund nova]

there are so many parts

[native mirage]

Agreed...it would be nice tho to at least see a alt helmet

I think there was this Infested Xaku tennogen I once saw

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2877135903&searchtext=

Here it is, Xaku Deathea

[rotund nova]

ah, the one by my man Kakarrotenkuchen

[native mirage]

I had a idea for a Xaku themed Hammer

[lyric abyss]

i dont think heavy sythes are allowed for tennogen

[uncut eagle]

Plat

Actually wait I shouldn’t be talking, I have no plat 😭

[radiant lodge]

This is starting to stray from Tennogen. Lets stay on topic, please.

[uncut eagle]

Ok

[wide plume]

I'm just here to remind/beg tennogen artists to make more skins for Nekros.

Please.

Or DE. Another Deluxe? Pretty please? Like, comon. Use those new cloth physics and make a proper Grim Reaper-ish cloak for him.

[cloud wolf]

Yet.. I think

[lyric abyss]

sword and shield still are not though.

[zinc ridge]

ill be on your side on that one

[alpine dagger]

ooh that looks pretty good

oop scroll, was refering to the xaku

[plain drift]

I'd legit play my Xaku again if I got this skin

[lucid forge]

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2831508117 👀

[jagged wigeon]

I so hope this makes it in the game, looks very nice

[earnest crest]

I wonder if anyone is working on tennogen for sevagoth. It feels likes he's just been neglected

[jagged wigeon]

If you scroll up you'll find one that's been posted here quite often

There's also a full skin that someone's working on, it should be in the #tennogen-showcase-your-content channel

[native mirage]

Idea, Baro themed Vauban Skin, thoughts?

Ok wait, I saw this Xaku Tennogen that i like

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2936984727&searchtext=

I love the Helmet so much. its glorious

[alpine dagger]

very nice concept

[rotund nova]

Very cool

[native mirage]

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2936984727&searchtext=
updated version, (i did not make this) looks a lot better tho :3

[thick root]

It looks nice, but i can't really tell what faction it is

[celest nest]

I want to eat it. Not cement, but will do.

[lyric abyss]

it doesnt need to be a faction

[thick root]

If the creator wants it in-game, it has to. Anything that doesnt fit the world of warframe will get rejected

[gleaming vine]

maybe he meant it doesnt have to be faction themed to fit in warframe

[lyric abyss]

this.☝️

[thick root]

We dont have that kind of freedom like the deluxes have unfortunately. Got feedback from DE wanting my skin to be more clear on what faction it belongs to.

[celest nest]

Goosmers is right. If something doesn't fit a specific faction - it means it doesn't follow a set of DE approved faction art rules, and if it doesn't follow the faction rules - it cannot be accepted into the game.; We can't make our own factions, we're only freelancers after all.

[shell talon]

No promotion, please. 🙂

We don't have any channels in the server for that, aside from the DE streams themselves. This channel is meant for discussion of TennoGen creations. 🙂

[dusty path]

hey yall, about tennogen sale, i have question, would the sale items change everyday?

[radiant lodge]

no.

[dusty path]

so whatever is on sale now, will stay as is till the end of the sale, yes? for this sale, that is

[radiant lodge]

I haven't seen tennogen removed from the game. Once it's added, it stays.

[dusty path]

aye, got it, thanks m8

[lyric abyss]

they did a few months ago.

[shell talon]

What was removed?

[lyric abyss]

a whole bunch. i think it was because the couldnt put them on switch or something like that.

[shell talon]

That didn't remove them from where they were released already. They just weren't released on Switch.

[radiant lodge]

They are a PC player. All tennogen is available on PC.

[lyric abyss]

they removed them from ps4

[shell talon]

If anything was removed, my guess would be it was accidentally put onto a platform that it wasn't supposed to be released on.

[lyric abyss]

some were years old

[shell talon]

I do remember something about that being the case a year or two ago, I think...

[hallow snow]

I wish all if them were on discount..I wanted to buy three different ones none on discount

[radiant lodge]

I don't think Tennogen get discounts.

[lyric abyss]

there is a sale right now

[radiant lodge]

On console, or PC?

[lyric abyss]

at least on consle

[radiant lodge]

Huh. Steam is having a discount too

[hallow snow]

Pc has the sale for 5 days

[radiant lodge]

Never noticed before. I usually get everything I really like right away. Hm. There are a few that I wasn't completely enamored with that are on sale.

[hallow snow]

My favorite frame is ash..none of the ash skins are on sale

[dusty path]

i wonder how many tennogen sale per year?

or they just random?

[celest nest]

So far been only one before

Not random, DE emails us about it some time in advance

[solid pulsar]

**Citrine Files are now available for TennoGen artists! **How will you reimagine the latest Warframe? 💎

NOTE: At this time, TennoGen artists will not be able to use Citrine’s gem texture for helmets and skins. The crystal effect found on Digital Extremes’ version of Citrine requires custom shader math that is not replicable for TennoGen -- as a result, artists should plan their designs to not feature this unique element for Citrine. Gems are still welcome, but unfortunately we cannot apply the custom sparkle as seen on her default!

https://forums.warframe.com/topic/1341907-citrine-files-now-available/

And in case you missed it, Voruna has also been available since December 2022. 🌙

[pearl shell]

How to check?

[lyric abyss]

the market

[alpine dagger]

and then go to tennogen section

[hollow horizon]

someone make [Ember Prime] look like a fire demon please!

[rotund nova]

are you suggesting a new skin idea?

[hollow horizon]

yes

I was thinking something like the Ash Bai Hu skin

but in ember form kinda

[celest nest]

Will base Ember do

[ivory radish]

ideas are good, you know

[hollow horizon]

Sure, but like I dont think she looks fierce enough

I want her to look like a real killing machine, demon-like

Just can't do that with the current fashion imo

[rotund nova]

Ember is a fried chicken

I will make KFC skin

12 piece bucket helmet on fire

[hollow horizon]

https://tenor.com/view/fried-chicken-chicken-crispy-gif-26074196

[rotund nova]

With a colonel sanders mustache and gotee combo

[young ginkgo]

so like, what if we made an alternate helmet exclusive to Excal Umbra

[rotund nova]

Cant

Would have to match base Excalibur as well

[young ginkgo]

oh i see. guess there's something that prevents TennoGen creators from making exclusive helmets

[rotund nova]

Yes

[celest nest]

Fierce, got it

I wonder if local KFC still open.

[rotund nova]

Now I want KFC

I will fax you some chicken, Vulb

[hollow horizon]

Also, just out of curiosity how long does a design usually take?

[thick root]

Depends on complexity of the frame, and how much you wanna detail it

And your own speed of course

I think i spent 1-2 months on gauss nitrolyst

[celest nest]

usually from a week to a few months, depending on motivation and laziness.

[hollow horizon]

damn aight

[solid pulsar]

Here are the 17 items currently accepted for TennoGen and rolling out starting with The Duviri Paradox in April! We will update this list, adding new items as they are accepted and removing items once they launch.

[native mirage]

Oh my god, im so happy this is coming

I am screaming in my chair you have no Idea how happy i am c:

[lyric abyss]

what you are ask for sounds more like a deluxe skin, not tennogen

[keen junco]

hey question do we fully know when cross save is coming out or do we not know the release date yet

[weak minnow]

nah, nothing said about it
aand, this ain't the chat for it homie, if anything, you should ask in #players-helping-players or #gameplay-discussion

[rotund nova]

God bless the person who made this Gauss skin

[hollow horizon]

Whats the difference?

[lyric abyss]

one DE makes and designs, the other tenno do

[jagged wigeon]

Goosmo

[amber oyster]

It’s also missing part of the helmet

Recommend going to the steam page to take a better look at the skin

[alpine dagger]

the main difference is deluxes can change the body mesh

[thick root]

It supposed to have a mask that flips down in redline mode, dont know how DE made it disappear

[rotund nova]

Iron Man style?

[thick root]

Kinda

[rotund nova]

checked the workshop page, I see what you mean

[radiant lodge]

Self promotion is not allowed on this server.

Ah darn sorry, guess it should’ve gone in showcase

[radiant lodge]

The link to your youtube channel should not be in this server at all. If you wish to have feedback, you can post screenshots.

how to log in to your account capcha does not allow constantly lol

[ivory imp]

Ah gotcha. I really didn’t think of it as self promotion but I’ll keep in line and stick to screenshots for the future then. Thank you for letting me know

[leaden pulsar]

Why is no 1 creating armors to be in some samurai ninja designs and direction,but insted for some reason 90% creators is made to look like pointedi looking armors that look more like everything else but not like real armor attachments...🤔

[radiant lodge]

That is part of the requirements for tennogen to be accepted. Take a moment to read over the rules Tennogen creators are asked to follow.

https://www.warframe.com/steamworkshop/help/

[leaden pulsar]

if pointy armor designs is all what is allowed then no tnx

[amber oyster]

Doesn’t say anywhere that they need to be pointy? There are shoulder pads that are literally airbags

People just make what they want to make

[celest nest]

I like making round designs, but I made waaaaay too few armours to pass even one into the game.

[leaden pulsar]

But you skins are 1 of the best so im 100% shore, so your armors can also be cool and amazing looking

[celest nest]

Ok, I'll make some samurai armor

[radiant lodge]

I would be very interested in samurai armor that fits the allowed factions.

[celest nest]

I can promise two things.

1. I consume crayons
2. It will fit and it will look weird.

[radiant lodge]

Just be sure to get the Crayola. Rose art taste awful.
