    Nice change with the shoulderpads and the katanas, I like it. I would suggest working a bit more on the shoulderpad textures to get a better fitting pattern and maybe try some color variations with the chest-wrap-thing ;)

    Aye, I'll start doodling some different shoulder ideas today. Most of juggernaut's icons are red squares with swirls cut into them.

    As for the wraps, what do you suggest? I think anything but the white didn't stand out as much as it should have, and it really helps exaggerate his core model.

    In the Fields of Endless Carnage, far to the south of Quoidge, a corpulent figure works tirelessly through the night--dismembering, disemboweling, piling up the limbs and viscera of the fallen that the battlefield might be clear by dawn.In this cursed realm, nothing can decay or decompose; no corpse may ever return to the earth from which it sprang, no matter how deep you dig the grave. Flocked by carrion birds who need him to cut their meals into beak-sized chunks, Pudge the Butcher hones his skills with blades that grow sharper the longer he uses them. Swish, swish, thunk. Flesh falls from the bone; tendons and ligaments part like wet paper. And while he always had a taste for the butchery, over the ages, Pudge has developed a taste for its byproduct as well. Starting with a gobbet of muscle here, a sip of blood there...before long he was thrusting his jaws deep into the toughest of torsos, like a dog gnawing at rags. Even those who are beyond fearing the Reaper, fear the Butcher.

    Hello everyone, I'd like to post the idea I have for a Pudge cosmetic that I've been thinking about for a while now. The main reason I'm posting this is because I'm not that great with 3d modelling programs. I hope it inspires someone to make it because I'd like to see it in game.

    To get started here is the text I am basing it on from Pudge's Lore:

    In this cursed realm, nothing can decay or decompose; no corpse may ever return to the earth from which it sprang, no matter how deep you dig the grave. Flocked by carrion birds who need him to cut their meals into beak-sized chunks, Pudge the Butcher hones his skills with blades that grow sharper the longer he uses them.


    In my opinion the Fields of Endless Carnage seems like a lonely place,and it is only logical to assume that Pudge developed a mutual friendship with the carrion birds of the land. They find him freshly slain bodies,and he dismembers the remains for them to eat..a mutually beneficial relationship. Overtime Pudge became attached to one specific carrion bird that followed him everywhere he went and so Pudge named him Putre.

    09212011_Picture_Black_Vulture_Portrait_Large_Belize.jpg

    I was thinking of this cosmetic being a legendary or mythical level item for Pudge mainly because of the various animations that could go along with it .Putre could either be perched on either of Pudge's shoulders or along the middle of his neck/back area:

    Pudge_Putre_Locations.jpg

    (To note all these animations are just ideas I was thinking of none of them are "required" it is up to whoever makes it to decide what goes with it)

    During Putre's idle animations(while Pudge is just walking around or auto attacking enemies) he could look around left and right, flap his wings, or peck at some of Pudge's decaying flesh. I was also thinking of various animations that could be utilized while Pudge's performs specific abilities( when Pudge uses rot Putre takes to the air and encircles Pudge's rot radius because he can smell when a fresh meal is nearby). In addition when Pudge uses Dismember, Putre will lunge at the the dismembered target pecking and ripping his talons into it for the duration. Upon a successful hook of a enemy hero, Putre could make loud carrion bird noises as the target is pulled toward Pudge:

    http://sounds.bl.uk/Environment/Brit...0001375-1200V0

    I hope someone will find it interesting enough to pursue as a full Pudge cosmetic item. If anyone chooses to develop this cosmetic I would appreciate it if you would mention me as a reference or just helped formed the idea!:)

    Tried a few different colors; Lighter colors seems to be the most friendly to his base color. It's in the natural color scheme with his pants and mask. It helps something so simple stand out.

    The "ab" wraps really give it some personality rather than a simple wrap around the shoulder. If I were to do just the wrap around his shoulder I'd probably add a whole new key component and leave that as an undertone.

    I think I could darken down the color a bit and make sure it doesn't shine so much, but the base color seems to work well if I'm just keeping the wraps.


    @vlad Yeah I noticed, doing some patching up. The biggest problem I'm having is skinning in such a way that both the Odachi and the normal stance work. The Odachi positions are bizarre when you look at them up close.

    Congrats on everyone that got their items ingame, I'm still waiting to get my first item ingame :s Its going to be time Valve!

    Here's an update on the Tiny concept I made, still need to work on the leaves, only used one size which makes the leaves a bit to small for the smaller Tiny models. Also the green color need to be changed a bit.

    Together the models have a tricount of less then 1000 tri's, whith a max of 300 tri's for the larger one. They also share one texture so maybe Valve would conisder something like this.

    Have you thought about trying to add some vines or other foliage so there's more than just the sapling/tree?

    Also it might just be me and my colorblindness but that bark and leaves color hurt my eyes together, have you though of toning down the bark to a darker or different color?

    I was going to polish the textures on my CK items that i had submitted a long time ago since it was the first items i made. Sadly i could not use ingame compiler that i had used before. Seems like they took away that option to enable the heroes in the scripts somehow. Good news is that i found the budget on his items. I'm guessing he'll turn up in the requirements any day now.

    Always love seeing more TA sets, if I can't get mine in game I can only hope others can!

    I can't see anything wrong with that set, in fact, I really like it. The only feedback I could give is maybe it could use a more central "theme" or idea, something to tie it together. You've got a crescent-moon looking thing on the end of her sleeve-thing, maybe incorporate the moon design through the other items a bit more? Other than that, I love it, please finish it!

    Hi guys, thought I'd try my hand at making a set.

    Presenting: Yurei Death Prophet

    (She'll have hair in the final version, don't worry)

    I've never worked with any of Valve's stuff, so getting everything formatted correctly is going to be...interesting. As will be skinning. Thankfully I've picked up some stuff from reading through the thread.

    Anyway, hope you guys like, and feedback is welcome of course :)

    Hi, I'm currently working on an Alchemist set, which is inspired by a wild west snake oil salesman.

    I'd love some help with my juggernaut wraps from someone more experienced.


    My current rigging works well in his default positions:
    Vgh7u0b.pngwVfSMKx.png
    etc.

    But I have giant problems when he enters his "Odachi" stance. This stance looks bizarre up close and I'm not even sure if the bones being moved have enough influence to cover what they're suppose to move.

    7zNJeYX.png
    NgMOWMl.png

    Currently this is his bone tree:
    tjkbvTA.png

    I'm binding the wraps to spine1, spine2, and spine3. Neck doesn't seem to make a large difference across most animations, and Clavicle L seems to cause more problems than it helps, same with his bicep.


    Am I messing something simple up? Should I try to make his wraps larger to account for the margin of error Odachi causes? Much different bones rigging?

    Always paint the vertices with some animation (I use idle and run animations most). I don't know what software you're using but in 3ds max there is a modifier called "Skin wrap" that lets you copy vertex weights from one model to another, you can use something like that to copy the weights from Juggernaut's torso model. If that sounds like too much work, you can check the values of the torso and use the same values for your model around the shoulder (by hand of course).

    to create a set it needs to have 3 items minimun right?

    and I have to submit each item individually right?

    I am working on a set for death prophet that will consist in 3 parts,do 3 parts set has ever been accepted?

    and what if I suddenly decide to add another item to that set? would I be able to do that?
