Attached Release Notes

WHO ARE YOU PEOPLE?

Oh, that's right. I own this mod. Hey, friends! This is the culmination of 8 months of work, on and off, and I'm proud to release what I have here today. It includes 57 new main menu renders and 4 new relit class portraits. Cool stuff!

Consider Miso part 1 of 2, as not all the main menu renders have been finished. Mainly, there are just a few more Scream Fortress and Smissmas renders needing to be done with unique designs to them. Some cosmetics are just borked in SFM. Gotta make a workaround, somehow. But Miso is in a state where I can say, yeah, this can be released today. The next update should come substantially sooner, give me time.

As for open-sourcing the mod, I'm gonna wait until the menu renders are 100% finished and polished before releasing everything.

Besides that, well, have a good rest of your Summer! And do take good care of your bodies. My fingers and wrists do not enjoy working on this project.

Feature

  • Introducing 57 new main menu character renders; 26 all-year, 22 Halloween variants, and 8 Smissmas variants (with more to come).
  • Included original SOUP designs, such as BLU team and various new costumes replacing older / broken Scream Fortress loadouts.
  • Completely redone the lighting from scratch on Scout, Pyro, Engineer, and Spy; this is to make the lighting consistent on all renders (or as close to consistent).
  • Class portraits for Scout, Pyro, Engineer and Spy have been rendered at 1080p instead of 720p.

Additions

  • Remade all promo images to reflect a change of style. Also, it just looks nicer.

Improvement

  • Prefer BGR888 and BGRA8888 over DXT1 and DXT5 for the main menu (though costly on storage, this should result in substantially clearer renders).

Bug Fix

  • Some of the green screen artifacting has been fixed and should be less obvious on all displays (affects all new renders in this update).
  • Pyro's left arm properly folds inwards instead of outwards, fixing a shading error.

Tweak

  • Repositioned Engineer's lighting angle to make him more visible.
  • Spy's cigar now has a light.
  • Spy's revolver is now larger.
  • Pyro's flame on the flamethrower now has a proper transparent texture.
  • Pyro uses a dark red for SSAOTint instead of pure black.
  • Scout's lighting has been redone using the same toneMapScale as every other render in SOUP.
