Well that calendar chart makes this all make perfect sense now, thanks for sharing! So do you guys think the next event will run from Jan 31st to Feb 6th? Seems short to me
Damn, the deadline is on the 15th? I was thinking about maybe getting a set concept and try to do something, but it is going to be pretty hard to finish everything up in less than one month, specially with Christmas next week and then New Year on the one after that, it's going to be though. Now I'm thinking about skipping this one out.
Phew, my long time collaboration project has finally made it to the workshop. It was quite the learning experience! I'd appreciate your votes and support, thanks!

Hi guys, I have a question for you guys from europe who received one or more items in the shop. I have myself three items in right now and got my first in about half a year ago but I am still wrestling with papers to get my first payment. Is the ITIN really necessary because I just got rejected to get mine because they do not accept the copy of my passport and it seems that I have to send my original, the problem is that it takes about two three months for the IRS to fix the ITIN. Is it any way around it? how did u guys fix the payment from valve? any easier way?
@TriggerHappyPuppy What I know is that IRS only accepts copied documents if they are authorized/stamped and so on by whom issued them in first time. So your passport should be authorized in same place where you get one. That should work. As for me, I am from Poland and I have sent authorized copies of my ID and driving licence (I don't have a passport) and hopefully it worked.
Other option is to directly call IRS for EIN number as many ppl did here and you will get one during the phone conversation that should be around 5 minutes. As far as I know EIN is suited for self employed artists so it should be legit Ahh in times like so I am sad that I don't live in US, things would be so much easier than
Motenai, your sculpts are just absolutely jaw dropping. Hope someday you release a video or something, because I'd really like to learn how you do some stuff. Beautiful work man, keep it up!

And I had been facing auto shut down problem when i try to preview my item ingame . bug ?
There is no way in hell that you can use anything like that, and i'm assuming you intended NURMS smoorhing, NURBS are actually curves that you can create surfaces with, but that would sound even weirder for something like Dota.
The general process you have to follow for these objects is:
1)create and highpoly geometry, with all the details you want.
2)create a lowpoly geometry tha follows the surface or the highpoly, this one will have to be very simple cause usually you have to stay under 500 polygons or so.
3)bake the details of the highpoly onto the lowpoly using tangent normal maps.
4)finish up with color textures and masks.
Someone has other workflows, but i think this is the very basic one.

Ohi !
Pardon me as i'm very noob to dota 2 workshop.
I try to make a shoulder model for Spirit Breaker. The original shoulder armor is 844 tris, yet the ingame importer allows only 450 tris for the shoulder slot ?
What are we supposed to do with 450 tris ? Half res of the original model... Isn't it kind of ridiculous ? Is there a workaround by compiling manually like for TF2 ?
Its said there that you have 850tri for LOD0(menu) and 450tri for LOD1(ingame).
This original model that you checked for sure was LOD0. Don't worry you will do something good in those limits for sure. In the end SB has far better tri limits than other chars, for example look at RIKI T_T.

You have to be with in the given budget, end of story. SB's shoulder lod0 has a limit of 850, and lod1 is the 450, so im guessing you are looking at lod0. Valve does not need to follow their rules for workshop, also there are tons of amazing SB pieces in game, well with in the budgets
Ok finally after such long time we have made new set. This time we decided to do something for Riki. I am sorry that I didn't post any in progress shots, however lately I have to much over my head. After I will sort out such basic life need as having proper internet connection for example I will for sure post here more regulatory... right now I am not sure who I hate more, myself or Unitymedia
So after working for a week on my set for Luna they made Gyro available, and i have been waiting for him for a long time. And now after working on gyro for a week they announce this awesome chinese event. Gonna start working on chinese sets for both Legion Commander and Ember Spirit right after im done with Gyro. I will post the concepts in my thread.
Though looking at all the amazing chinese concepts that have been posted, i probably dont stand much of a chance anyway :]
Anyway, here is my set for Gyro. Gonna start working on promo stuff now so if you have any critique, now is the time.

:thumbup: I like it, only thing I might tweak would be the color map for the back rocket pods. Instead of the flame on that as well maybe have it just the metal color, but have the top shaded with dark grays to go with the look of it being blown out.

Thanks. Funny how that was the one thing i wasnt sure about :]
It looks a lot different from what I would expect for Warlock, but I don't think it's a bad idea at all! Really interesting idea of having a cultist theme with goats and stuff, really creative. I only think you may have some problems getting it in-game, since it may be a bit too different from his default items, but I wish you the best of luck!

Based off the Northern-styled dancing lion. Bronze pot load, and paper lantern flying mode.
Any takers?

I'm already releasing videos actually

There are also the videos about this sword, from the very beginning. Tonight i'll upload the one for the texture.
Your work, as always, is absolutely wonderful, please keep pushing the bar up, so I can keep pushing myself harder :poly136:
Some progress of the stuff I'm working with kite! any thoughts guys?
And I had been facing auto shut down problem when i try to preview my item ingame . bug ?
You should have a standard polygon mesh that adheres to the tri limits, and your smoothing is done solely with smoothing groups, so no nurbs
i wonder how to make smooth curve with low tris
Vewy carefully. Like hunting wabbits.
On top of a Dumbo-esque Elephant courier, I'm also been finalizing animations on a really radical Snowman Ward.
If you'd like to see way more of that jazz, i'd be mighty flattered if you stopped by my thread and give some crit
I take it you have never done modeling for games? Look up normal mapping :poly121:
Well 2nd time , rather than normal map and polygon curves , no more alternative ?

Hey guys, did some quickie today. Idea was in mind and had to draw before I lost ^^
Amazing promo and a very original idea for the set, it surely has a lot of character put into it.
Great job
