[DOTA 2] Lina - Flame Spirit

Admiral Skye

Hello, everyone.

For this contest, I've decided to make a set for Lina. The idea of what I wanted to do with her hair came really fast to me, but I am still unsure of what I want to do with the rest of the stuff.

Cool! Are you planning on rigging the hair so that it flies dramatically in the wind ^^ ?

Admiral Skye

I can try, but I cant guarantee good results, since the bones don't match the hair shape.

Motanum

Cool! I just want to start doing something. Any tutorials on rigging hair for Blender?

You will no doubt need custom animations for the hair flowing. Looks great.

Admiral Skye

I got the texture for the hair here. I noticed that she has a scrolling fire texture on her hands that got applied on her hair which I kinda like. I think that was because of one of the masks(can't remember which)


I also started working on the necklace and earring. I'm thinking of making the gems on them glow like the hair

Spudnik

Probably the detail mask. It blends one texture with another if the hero is set up for it (some aren't)

Admiral Skye

I textured the necklace and I added some bracers. While I like the simple design of the bracers, I think it might be too simple for the contest. I might add gems on them.

If you do some tricky rigging you can get away with the bones being the wrong shape. I'm not sure how you'd do it exactly, but bones don't have to exactly match the mesh to work

Admiral Skye

I already rigged the hair to the hair bones. The results of the deformation is in the in-game image of the hair I posted I while back.

Anyways, I made a slight update to the skirt.

I'm almost done, I just need to work on the textures a bit more. I still feel like I'm only satisfied with the hair.
