We don't share feedback until after the round has been announced! We also unfortunately can't offer feedback to all pieces, so if you don't receive any, it generally means that your piece needs improvement in a few ways:

1. Technical skill. TennoGen is a professional program, and we only accept professional-looking work. 

2. It doesn't fit the Warframe aesthetic. Doing your research involves studying in-game items or even concept art from our staff -- look at how we use details and shapes for the different factions, read all the info in our Basic Art Guide and more. Creators who have done their homework are ones who get accepted consistently, because very few edits need to be done to their skins/Syandanas to feel like they belong in-universe. 

Welcome to the last Devstream of 2018! This overview is fairly stat-heavy as we reflected on everything that happened in Warframe in the past 12 months.

===UPDATE: Dec 19 @ 12:45pm===

Hi all, 

Thanks for your patience and understanding as we get this sorted! As of the PC hotfix this morning, the toggle has officially been removed. 

Removing the toggle was the first step as we investigated alternatives. Since this is the first time we’ve experienced this issue with a Prime, we weren’t sure of the timeline, especially with the holidays just around the corner. But, good news, a solution has been found!

Basically, we have taken Prime details from Mesa Prime and have attached them to her base model -- this altered base model will be used instead of the Mesa Prime model for the toggle. Since this is the first time an alternative model is being used for the toggle, extra set up may be required, but we are hoping to get this out soon.

TL;DR: the toggle will return, and will...

This is simply not OK, It has become expected that tennogen work with prime details, and when this happened to valkyr prime you fixed it. 

I totally understand why it's upsetting as there's a clear precedent for toggles working in the past, but I want to offer a bit of extra clarity here since you mentioned Valkyr. 

The issue with Valkyr Prime details (and other texture issues with Primes) is completely separate from the issue here. Those were set up incorrectly and were a bug -- Mesa's are set up properly, that's not the problem unfortunately. We have never had this problem come up with Prime details on a TennoGen skin since previous Primes stayed fairly true to the original Warframe's model. This is the first time that Prime and the original model are so different that the Prime details simply don't line up properly, resulting in the texture problems that are cur...

Hi Tenno,

If you’ve managed to get your hands on Mesa Prime already, you might have noticed some strange effects when using her toggled Prime Details on her TennoGen skins. This currently is the Toggle Prime Details function working as intended: her base and Prime models are so different that the Prime Details don’t line up properly. 

Unfortunately there is no easy fix, so for the time being we are removing the Toggle for Mesa Prime specifically. You’ll still be able to use TennoGen skins on Mesa Prime, just without the Prime Details!

Thank you to everyone who reported this, and thank you for your understanding. We’ll do our due diligence for future Primes to turn off the toggle prior to release if model discrepancies make the toggle unusable. 

EDIT: I am amending this post to offer more clarity, si...

 
The team was back yet again with a slew of content to talk about for what might be the last Devstream of 2018! If you’re looking for a recap of what was revealed and discussed without the need for YouTube timestamps (much love to our timestamp Tenno!), keep on reading in our overview here: https://www.warframe.com/news/devstream-120-overview

why does this just sound like "Nintendo is the reason xbox and ps4 arent getting round 14 with the update in cert" to me?

That's not the reason! Transfers take time to get set up, and also we wanted to take extra care in selecting what items are transferred from this Round since unfortunately can't include everything initially. I know it's not ideal but we are aiming to get this in the hands of our PS4 and XB1 Tenno as soon as we can! 

Hi Tenno,

Thanks for the amazing year for TennoGen! Whether you’re a passionate community member, or a creator yourself, the creativity and innovation that has happened this year is truly incredible. 

TennoGen Round 15 Deadline

We’ll be starting 2019 off with a bang: the deadline for Round 15 submissions is January 7 at 12pm ET! With the holiday season upon us, we hope that this is ample notice for our creators!

TennoGen Round 14 -- On PS4, XB1, and Nintendo Switch?!

For our console Tenno who are awaiting news on Round 14 content, with the inclusion of Switch to the Warframe family, we are approaching this Round’s transfer differently. With the amount of items in this Round, we will be selecting a few initial creations to transfer and evaluate next steps from there. Once we have worked with creators to transfer the selected items, we'll share the final list. 

Hi all -- yes, the most recent update did cause some issues. The update has been rolled back currently (meaning no Garuda tags are available at the moment), and we will be further investigating the cause of this problem.

can it be that this update broke tennogen app? I have this error:

Failed to load URL file:///C:/Games/Steam/steamapps/common/WarframeTennoGen/newui/index.html with error (-6).

Yes -- we are aware of issues and our team is working on a fix! Thanks for your patience. :) 

Garuda Files are officially available in the Steam Workshop! Before you ask -- yes, her claws are included! 

Much like Revenant, she is made using new tech, so there are some missing textures in her ZIP file. It’s on you as the creator to make these maps yourself without any reference files.

Below is a list of what is included in the ZIP: 

• Normal
• Emissive
• Tintmask
• Body, Helmet, and Claw meshes

To be clear, you are expected to still make the specular, roughness and diffuse maps -- we simply can’t send you a reference for comparison.

Can’t wait to see what you all make for our gore queen!

Hey Tenno, thanks for all your feedback! The team has been gathering community sentiments on the Oxylus and its precepts, and we agree that they aren't offering more support or utility as we'd like. We will be making some changes to the Precepts -- more details to come in the future!
