Stormy Suit (TF2 Spy Jacket)

a suit item for TF2's spy inspired by Iori Yagami from the King of Fighters series

I started by taking spy's default mesh, duplicating it, and using cuts and manipulations where i could to shape it into a this new jacket, and created new UV unwraps. I then duplicated my mesh, cleaned up the topology for subdivision, and sculpted the subsurfed model. I baked an object space normal map and ambient occlusion, and used those for the basis of the texture, the rest of which was done hand-painted in GIMP.

The topology had to stay very similar to spy's own topology (due to this merely covering the default mesh rather than replacing it) so the actual mesh topology could not be substantially improved and cleaned up.

**I did not create spy's model! Any and all assets aside from the cosmetic items I've specifically highlighted here were provided by valve software.
