Hello everyone! I have a question. When you treat the subject has a lot of polygons (in zbrush). But Dota 2 takes only 400. How do you optimize a model?
wow after seeing alot of items here really impress me.
can I asking for some cosmetic Item here? or what forum I need to go for request?
I really want someone to create new sven set.
well I really like this concecpt though (even its just for joke from the maker)
may be Its not good for me for asking this
but I really hope new sven now with higher design than current one
(its looks plain when comparing to other heroes)
btw sorry for my bad english
and sorry I dont know who making picture above so I cant give him a credit.(found its by googles)

Mother of god, who made this set? Awesome stuff indeed!
No idea but I hope he sticks around, I'm absolutely floored by that set, it's fucking incredible.
It's bittersweet as I believe it completely blows my Ezalor set out of the water but hey, more incredible artists and incredible items for a game we all love? I can't complain.
As said by the guy who's made the majority of in game items for heroes and uses concepts without permission. Yep.
When did i used the concepts without permision? You may want to check your facts first.
majority of in game items
Man, i wish.
So what are you trying to say? That it takes no fantasy to turn 30x100 icon into a whole model? Or are you against reinforcing the artstyle valve created by using their own concepts in a natural way?
Oh wait, what am i saying, let's take a look at theese bad boys?
So are you against ingame items or not, i'm confused?
Or these awesome, totally not recycled hella sweet guys
The thing is, it's still a lazy concept, disregarding what stuff i do. And let's face it, why should it matter who this comes from, it's still a tusk sigil on a stick, and the original had some sweet frosty texture on it, way better than this one.
Welp, i guess it strucks a nerve if you're calling names instead of trying to spice up ze model with some sexy fur, maybe a couple of ice crystal, dropping a shade of gold to make the item unique to the character, possibly telling a story, personalizing an item, instead of doing one just for the sake of doing one. Maybe that's too much to ask, eh
Of course I am not against those items, I just find it funny you are saying it's lazy when you do exactly the same.
Don't get me wrong, not trying to be rude against you or anything, it's just a little model we did cause we liked the idea, if you think it could have used something more say so instead of going "Lol its lazy"

If you see something that bugs you about an item, call the artist out on it but do so respectfully. On the flip side, don't be offended by critique regardless if it's valid or invalid. We're all here to help each other be better artists and make better items!
Don't you guys see it, he is never gonna change, he does the same and the same, he does it because he knows he is gonna be subject of discussion. He is the major troll here. How many times have this forums been filled with this kind of things.
Not very often. And I think we should keep it that way. Lets all act like normal human beings and don't go around calling people major trolls when they may just have overreacted or misinterpreted. Pointing fingers gets us nowhere, constructive feedback and honest critique does.
BRING THE HATE, I'm just kidding, lol! On a serious note, I sense a lot of hate here. Let's act as respectful people, huh? Good. No popularity contest here, but if you have to argue (Though, personally it's hilarious to me) do it over a PM. Just keeping the peace. Oh, don't feed trolls.
Look guys...Vlad sucks at critique. He's abrasive and blunt to a fault. He's still a functional member of the community, not a troll, and usually makes valid points even if they're not terribly well articulated.
I have yet to see anybody blatantly rip off a concept (with one exception on a PA weapon), at least nobody on polycount. I'm frankly getting tired of the "you ripped my idea off" comments...of the mud slinging. This is a competitive scene. It's a game we're all playing. Show some sportsmanship. If Vlad wants to be dennis rodman you need to step up and be micheal jordan. Don't bite when he goads you, try to find the critique in his comments and learn something to make yourself better. At the end of the day Vlad, and everybody else here, is a talented artist trying to improve their craft by interacting with a community of likeminded individuals. Take Vlad with a grain of salt, and quit pointing fingers at eachother. No plagiarism will be tolerated on Polycount - the community will ALWAYS come together against any real offense, so STOP slinging the damn accusations around just to follow it up with a "i was just kidding, bro".
There has not been nearly enough art in the last few posts on this thread.
looks amazing. It's probably a bit late for critique...but i'd love to see a little bit more color difference between the face and the mane. Nitpick though. Beautiful work.
At the end of the day every submitted item will be judged only by Valve, so know your value and worry only about it. Comments here or even on workshop doesn't matter anyway Don't let arguing take you away from doing stuff.
That's a little suggestion for all

Looks great, Drywall! One critique though if you don't mind: The lion looks a little depressed. I think it's his eyes, they could probably be tweaked to look a little more stern. It's only a minor nitpick though!
more edge detail and wear - especially on the metal, but along the grooves in the blue portions as well. Could use some ornamentation on the gray metal i think, also.
I've been working on an enchantress set, almost done with the high poly model.
Critique?
Can you make the model 100% black on a light grey background? Then you will be able to see how the silhouette works and what you can do to make it pop especially from top down angles
Hey all... is there a known problem with updating a preview image after-the-fact? I'm attempting to unify my submissions and the preview images - went into DOTA 2 to modify my submission, and re-uploaded the image. It shows in the preview window in the edit screen, but when I view the item online, or in Steam, it is the old one...
I love how clean it is! Do you guys do fur with the move tool or something like that?
Also, some good news!
Vladimir >the implyer: So willthe Chinese doto get the same store with our contributed items? Will it be cut down to non-skull items?
GreenMarine: same stuff. skull items will probably get alternate appearances or not sell there
dry & chemical alia - nice work on your mirana set!
pixelherder - courier is coming along great!
zaphk - tusk items are awesome so far! i want to do some tusk stuff too
I was working on a head piece for skywrath until i realized the new heroes aren't in the importer yet. Still wip, hoping they update soon so I can test some things in game.

that is really nice
do you guys know when they will have access to the store?
Hey guys, once I'm done with exams, I would like to do a courier, might someone be cool to share their process in doing a courier? I understand the whole basic item workflow, but I'm still in the dark with animations, etc.
I have been listening to great band from sweden called Ghost and it got me inspired to a sketch on a zombie queen conecpt. Thought Death Prophet could be a good hero for that.
Don't know which i want to continue to making concepts on, what do you think?
Obviously it will need some more work on it.

a little more progress on this concept. staff, colors and additional angles to come.
started blocking out the helmet in max already.
It's bittersweet as I believe it completely blows my Ezalor set out of the water but hey, more incredible artists and incredible items for a game we all love? I can't complain.
yep. This set will be in the 1st place soon and the rest of his 7 days.
Man, i wish.

looks a little bit flat. U need more depth and color variation imo. Need to see some ingame view to talk about the shape.
LOVE IT!!! THE NEXT HIT BABY
Critique?
I'm going to try and be a bit more active here, I'll start with this, a highpoly blockout of a SkyWrath Staff.
Can you make the model 100% black on a light grey background? Then you will be able to see how the silhouette works and what you can do to make it pop especially from top down angles
Any advice?
Tusk is adorable ^^
