    @Rubus The idea looks pretty cool, but remember that Valve is trying to avoid everything bone/gross things related due to the chinese market. Keep this in mind in yoour future projects!

    That's true, but the dark troll summoner summons skeletons which look fairly similar. We tried to make it come off as more playful than scary too, especially in the video!

    It's kinda funny. If he really is some giant bot mastermind/has Xthousand of loyal fans follow him,I wouldn't doubt it if he will just "pay" someone for their account and use that to spearhead the movement.

    omg that artwork! its amazing!



    guys, i've being working on a Lone druid set ( my favorite hero =] ) and would like to share for some feedback.

    i have some crazy ideas about the model changing based on the item it carries and on the level of the trueform, that is why the bear have a mijollnir on the next gif

    b946chI.gif

    KindDecimalKitty.gif

    old version of the true form
    mAvOF5b.gif

    k9gab8b.gif


    But i dont know how Valve allows the precache for that. Another model that changes during the game is Tiny, butt it have just one texture, so there is no need to create a texture map when it is created in game and maybe its not that heavy to the engine and dont need a precache

    So maybe its a total NO about those ideas

    Im changing almost everything on this set, the bear and trueform are from scratch. the Trueform have 3 levels and all of them have blendshapes for the facial movements. There is also a custom entangle.

    since its all custom, i will need to be really lucky with this one...

    any feedback will be welcome!

    I've been looking at your stream every now and then and the work you did with the custom effects is really fantastic. But I have a multifaceted problem with the design of the set: There's no unified theme. The set is called Wolfhunter (I think) which is cool but where does it show? The only place on the set where you can get that is the shoulder slot, but then the bear is a red panda? The Trueform, I just don't understand what it's supposed to be, it looks like this guy to me which is a bit ridiculous, besides looking unfinished in terms of the texture. So to me it seems like you had a bunch of different ideas and mashed them all together into a set which breaks a lot of the really great work you put into it.

    The set by itself looks great from what I can see from the topdown angle. The red panda could be damn sweet in an appropriately themed set. The animations on everything look very solid as always. The extra particle stuff you're doing is awesome. But there's no connection so it all falls apart for me.

    Another thing to consider is that adding visuals for what items the bear carries may impact the game at the pro level as you no longer have to check its inventory to see what it carries, giving the enemy a (very) slight advantage.

    About the particle, I think the only issue I see with it is the dirt, it's a bit much and I honestly feel the particle can work without it, or at least toning it down quite a bit more. The bamboo itself is brilliant, but I can't help but feel that it would work better on Spirit of Calm. Maybe it could be a feature of both?

    As far as the items on the bear goes, youre really dancing on the fence with that one. Even though players can click on the bear to see what is in it's inventory, creating a visual change in the model itself could break that aspect of having to actually click on the bear to see what is equiped on it, acting as a handicap for players who use that item. It's really hard to judge it, maybe it's not to much of a problem, but at the end of the day, players would know best.

    Just submitted the Spetre weapon with Slimeface, please rate it up :)

    Spectral Gladius

    The Spectre known as Mercurial is a being of intense and violent energy who finds herself irresistibly drawn to scenes of strife as they unfold in the physical world. An ancient sword was once lost between the states of energy and was misshapen during the milenia that passed, that is until Mercurial the specter found the misshaped weapon and brought it down to the scenes of strife and struggle. Every single cut dealt to a physical being with the Spectral Gladius, gets her one step closer to ascension.

    Maybe I should have explained more about the wolfhuter idea, thanks for bringing that up, i will make it look more intense when i submit it
    its not just the left shoulder piece but the more agressive claws (even if he doesnt use to attack) , the more agreesive right shoulder and the lycan's summon head on the left shoulder as the main part of the theme. My other entangle was on the same theme but a lot of people said that a bear trap would not fit lonedruid, so i changed to the bamboos

    uploaded another gif to show the wolf trophy, (maybe i should weight that a little less to the shoulder itself, it make some strange movements)
    oB2H6vI.gif

    And the trueform is not Taz, it was just a joke because some guys were saying that looks like the looney tunes tazmanian devil, there was other days where people people said that looked like a bulldog so i had a picture of admiralbulldog on my screen. And the textures are unfinished, i am pretty sure that i mentioned that

    Dancing in the fence, i like this sentence =]
    And about the particles, i agree with you guys, it may be too much showing the items it carries. Radiance is pretty obvious because of the aura but Mijollnir not that much. Maybe instead of changing during the game it could be just an style, so it will already start with the item in the beginning of the game.

    the entangle im planning to be bound with the "weapon" slot, the same used by the calderon and could be used with all the other spirit bears


    ----

    thanks for the critiques guys, im going to focus a little more on them now. Cheers!

    I'd say right now, the trueform is the weakest part, partly because even with finished textures, I think it'll still look weird design wise, partly because the other parts of the set just look that much better.

    Wat!? Handplane is not for baking, you bake an object space map in something like xNormal, and use that and your low poly to get a perfect tangent space map weighted for source engine. If you show your maps it will indicate what is wrong

    Hi guys, I've been interested in learning 3D modelling mostly for creating Dota2 items, I started learning 2 months ago and right now I'm working on a CM set. I don't know if this is the right thread to post this, but I'm having problem with the importer.
    I deleted the history, froze transformations after skinning then tried importing the head item (the texture is not done yet though) but it appeared too big and floating above her head:
    5w505.jpg
    2pt2tlw.jpg
    Here's the sculpt and low poly model for comparison (I used the base model downloaded from the technical requirements page. Also thanks Anuxi for the advices and tips on changing the neck and staff :)):
    35by3hj.jpg
    i3te1k.jpg
    I've tried scaling it down then freezing transformations again, but it stayed the same. I even tried importing the default head item that comes with the base model, but even the default head item would appear big and floating above her head. Is is the problem with the importer or I did something wrong? Is there a way to fix this? Thanks for reading this.

    CM model from the technical page has not been updated to my knowledge. Decompile a recent model of her for proper scale. I may also have the .smds from a recent update

    Kite is right, maybe your problem is that you are skipping an important stage. Handplane is an extra stage after baking the normals to get the normals based on the engine, the diference is not that big comparing the maps but if you model have some flat parts its pretty noticeable when tested in game

    i do agree it seams low, i made a lot of mistakes in the past and one of them was not giving the proper valor to my work. I suggest you guys to not work for that and ask for more, because if we keep accepting low shares they will keep ask to work for less...

    about the trueform i will see what i can do to make it look more interesting, im looking to this set for so long that i may be blind for some things, thanks for that =]
