I didn't have much time to test it yesterday but have they also fixed the Red X's from the self made items? They now have an ethereal gem which is supposed to have a particle effect but from what I can see there doesn't appear to be anything there at all.
Well, I believe I am in a unique situation. Checked all three chests and none have my daggers listed. So the only possibility is that they are going to be available as individual items in the store or they are just going to be in limbo in the main client.

Maybe their making your item a particle effect/immortal for winter update O.o
WIP pugna shoulder, comments . I can only get better if other people can see mistakes I can't see.... I also notice the color, its mainly about the masks...
I need some critique on my latest set for Dazzle. Im not getting any views at all and that has only happened to me once before, and that was for a terrible item that i later removed.
At first i thought it was the terrible preview images not getting enough clicks, but i dont know. All the items around my 5 has more views.

So, whats the problem here, just the previews or the entire set?
It seems okay to me, the sleeves look a little plain and there is a black line connecting the back item and the back. Maybe you should rework the rig a little. You can also work on the preview image, most of what ive seen, that people like, are item previews that have this flair to it. All of these crits aren't noticable ingame so its fine. Remember that many people just vote for items on characters they like, and their likes don't change valve's decision of adding your items to the game.

Thanks :]
The black line is actually a line of dark body paint that dazzle has running across his entire back. I think im just gonna work some more on the preview images and reupload.
Dont see anything wrong with your item for Pugna, other than it looks a little bit flat. You probably shouldnt listen to me though, i have bad taste.
Finally finished my juggernaut sword Never did figure out how to get ingame preview to show my uploaded particle mesh, but steam workshop accepted the mesh, so I just have to assume it's done correctly x)
Would love to test my new items with this new camera feature, if just my client didn't crashed every time I hit the "preview in-game" button.
Really don't know what to do anymore, this is so frustrating.
apart from obvious things like checking the integrity of the cache, updating drivers etc, i have only one idea. I had a weird bug where the in game preview would incorrectly display the specular. the thing that fixed it was changing the display settings to window mode.
Contributing a bit more to Neox's No-Shave November Collection. I'm busy turning Anti-Mage into MANti-Mage ..aaaaaand I just saw the poly limit for his head slot....welp this will be interesting
Soooo in regards to the maya 2014 crash I was getting almost every time when exporting models out to FBX i THINK i found a solution. Its weird it makes no sense but if you experiencing the same thing ... try activating the paint skin weights tool on your mesh and then export selection. Ever since doing this it exports fine every time so far!
I also have a making of VOD on Twitch, It's a little over two hours long but it's start to finish of the whole animation and it's implemention in game. I plan on editing it into something shorter with some voice overs from me that explains what I'm doing as a tutorial for doing custom Kinetic Gem animations. That is, assuming Kinetic gems will have workshop support. I'm surely pushing for it though!

to save on poly count and to look generally more manly I'd say lose the bangs
other than that it looks great
thanks guys for the comments

Thing is, it doesn't crash in normal situations, it only happens with the Workshop in-game preview.
About your suggestion it didn't work, but anyway, thanks for the reply
one new beard and the one of the lone druid more upclose
will be in the wokshop as soon as i have the lore
Neox, your beards look awesome. I'm also in the process of doing a beard at the moment, well, it's a beard that's part of a helmet, but anyway. One thing that's worrying me is the lip sync.
Are you doing blendshapes, or I think they're called flex animations, for your beards? Or just leaving it up to Valve?
Such a big patch this time!
Looks like everyone wants to make a beard in november )
I was working on my Ursa set for some time, and now i am returning to beastmaster again. After your comments i desided to go with 2 these variants. I decreased also size of the the skull horns a bit. Please comment which helm fits better.
If this is your color palette, I feel it falls more in Skyrim world than in DotA 2 world. Maybe make it more saturated? As for helmet, I prefer the first one.
Managed to get the golem ingame, pretty simple in the end : rigged my golem on the source skeleton> export to fbx then load fbx directly in Dota > then load source animation in .smd and voil
My TA sets coming along pretty well, I really want to get it finished up this weekend, but I've been insanely busy with work. Heres the bake components on the low res model (I need to manually tweak some areas such as the cavity). I'm working on polypaint and the diffuse which is the made area I need to finish. As always would be great to hear peoples thoughts.
unfortunately I couldn't find any information regarding my question in the official guidelines from valve and so I'd like to ask it here.
So I'm wondering how to add custom bones/joints to an existing skeleton of a character. Let's say you'd like to modify the hairstyle of a female character like the Windrunner and turn it into a ponytail instead of the default low hanging hair like in the attached picture:
Adding some custom joints to the already existing skeleton and weighting the new geometry is not the problem because that's what I do in my daily work. But the question is: Where are the animations stored? In the orignal FBX files that you can download from valve's workshop homepage there are no animations included and I'm wondering how to animate the custom bones?!
I think I finished with the sculpt of the first variant of the axe. Placed some base paint. Crits please.
I like the shapes. It's very interesting, but I'm not so sure about the internal blades about having that kind of damage. I mean, all the direction of damage are coming from outside, so I guess the blade which would have more damage its the external one, and then, the other would have less and different kind of cracks and damage.
Finally! After a bit of a break to focus on some other, non-game related things, finally got round to finishing up this long gestating courier!
Probably be the last one for a while - great fun to do, but so much time needed!
And thats one thing i just dont have enough of right now

Well, I can answer your concern in two ways; I can try to justify those inner damage or just say I am following the concept too closely. Sorry if I sounded rude, as that was/is not my intention. I had the exact same concern you mentioned before I started, so I justified using it as it is by having an answer in the middle of my two justifications.

Chemical Alia told me to post this on her behalf because she has a new adorable puppy and can't take time away from all the "oooing" and "aaahing" while it barely manages to poop in the right place.
Also, that faun courier. So smart, so awesome, great job!!!
Thanks for the suggestion about the anti-beard Hawf, I had retopoed the old version and I couldn't get it to the target poly count without completely destroying it, hopefully getting rid of the bangs will help.
Thanks for that suggestion Boonta! I actually put a comment in the Private Developer Comment section asking Valve to add the American Cancer Society as a service provider in the event any of the beards get accepted into the game
i like character and animation, but imo u should add a bit more contrast to textures
"Props" as they say, to the amazing Bamberwolf for such sterling work on the animations .as for the contrast, yup - this has been mentioned a few times now, so will definitely look into it!

Even if it has accepted status on the workshop that wont get you the items. There is a network between created by and you receiving.
Maybe their making your item a particle effect/immortal for winter update O.o

I really hope this isn't the case. That would not be cool at all. Plus, it's certainly not how it used to work.

getting to work on some of these
odd....
@Helenek - awesome animation sir, you did improve A LOT man! loved your doom ulti
and congrats to everyone that got items in game, i was missing that for a long time =]
i didnt had time to post it before, i think i should spend more time here
those are the finished artworks made with my friend Cesar Sampedro
this is the Phantom assassin set with some new animations
and this is the Antimage set
hope you guys like it =]
that would actually be really great!
haha guys you are killing it sweet beards

If you already understand how the whole decompile/compile process then most of it is self explainatory.

just some base colours
far from finished

As for palette, this is not the final colors. Thats just a preview with some toning.

like if you like it:D
Makes me wanna see how my own golem looks like with the particles! Even I've not seen them in place yet.
No idea about the shader though, not had that happen to me before.

Wow, looking great. also great idea on the flying version
Only some ingame shots would be nice!
Btw finially got notification that my items made it ingame, so I hoped of having them myself but apperantly this also takes time..
Does any of you guys got their own models yet?
Well, I can answer your concern in two ways; I can try to justify those inner damage or just say I am following the concept too closely. Sorry if I sounded rude, as that was/is not my intention.

Coming up with a way to make bagpipes into a suitable flying vehicle was probably the hardest thing about this...and ingame shots added!
