Im still fighting the process... reading and watching every tutorial but cant get the uv thing.
Got the low and high poly, also the cage* needed for mapping, but idk what to load in...
I got to make separate uv's for all low/high poly and cage? cant find the right answer in tutorials...
ps: sry for this kind of question
edit: looks like I failed uv map... gt search more how to save it correctly
@blossomalex: Nice artwork, right angle too But I do feel it lacks some color or highlights.
Not too good at artwork myself but I think it could look a lot better!
Oh wow I noticed that the Treasure of the Silver Storm which was released with other chest (Treasure of the Trapper's Pelt) is missing from store and from new chest (Treasure of Nested Cache) as well. Does anybody know why it was removed?
@Zip: that Brood set is really nice, the design is really unique I hope it will come to the store soon @Anuxi: is that concept for TA? If so my vote is for that TA set, I'd love to see how it turns out @Reza: I agree with StuBurrito, the vines and thorns could use some more details.
The top fur looks more accurate than the bottom fur. You could try adding more variation to the fur by varying the size of the clumps a bit more (like, in one clod, the lines can divide it into larger/smaller sections), and the depth of the lines could also vary too
Looks nice so far! Looking forward to seeing where it goes next.
I actually think a mixture of the two might work well, but for Dota the top one, MAYBE with 1 extra layer of fur shape on one or two of them, instead of one clump each. either way, it's looking quite nice
YAY My first succesfully imported item!!! despite the uv's issue whith mirror and color texture...still looking for texturing tutorials noob ranked
btw used default \m/asks
ps: looks weird but who cares..))
Looks like the workshop importer for PA broke this last patch. It was working fine a couple days ago, same files. Also imported the item to a different hero and it worked fine.
Probably arcana related. Can anyone else try to upload something to PA's weapon slot to test this before I report it on dev.dota2?
Finished my Tusk set just before heading off for the Holidays, good luck to everyone working on any New Bloom sets! Look forward to seeing some great work over the next few weeks.
I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this but I'll give it a try.
Since I'm not a 3D artist I thought I could share my concept piece of a Dota 2 courier idea that I had, and if you're a good 3d artist feel free to use the concept.
Anyway it's A unicycling toad! The thought is that when in flying mode the wheel would transform into a airscrew and the toad will pedal like mad to stay airborne.
Lemme know what you think
My brewmaster item currently sits at 818 tris and this is mainly the problem
Does anybody have any suggestions on what I should do to cut down the tricount?
I can do a paint over when i get home, but doing the leaves individually is not the way i would go. You could probably just make one "lump" of the petals that would make up 1/4 of the petals. You should even be able to save a ton of texture space this way, but I am stuck at work with no photoshop or tablet, so I can do a paint over when I get hope better explaining this
Edit: You way also want to make the HP pieces more on top of each other, as this will help with this, and baking, and texturing
I think you have to at least use a simple plane for each petal. You can do that with 3 tris per side (front/back) and use alpha on the edges.
I really don't think you need the thickness, even in hero view they will be really small.
If that's still too many you could use a few cylinders wrapped around and alpha them. (one cylinder per row instead of a bunch of petals.)
You can also get rid of a few rows (red lines) and save quite a few tris. Again, so small it won't be noticed. I'd do that first to see where the budget for the petals sits.
Oooh I like that WK set! I'd suggest making the cape longer though. It'd make him look more like a rugged veteran viking, which I personally think would fit well with his beard and helmet.

So I would do something like this, let the normal do the work on a card like this, and you can pull middle point of the leaf thing to have some more height on it, but this alone could save a 100+ tris, you can also collapse more edges around the model like i have shown, and the green points show more collapse points I did not paint in. Hope this helps, happy hatting!

Yeah I really like this WK also, and agree, maybe have the fur on the upper part and make that the trim for a cool cape coming out of it. Hope this helps, happy hatting!
@Vovosunt: I really like the dagger-themed PA set, PA mentions the word 'dagger' in many of her lines too. The red-orange is a nice touch. Personally I prefer the one with the hood and curvy hair but the hair tails with blades at the end are interesting, how about making one with hood and curvy hair while also keeping the hair tails with blades at the end? About that WK set, I like his beard I agree with Kite and Insaneophobia about the cape. The axe is kinda unique, but I think the axe head is a bit small, it's kinda underwhelming compared to his sword. I think making the axe head bigger would make the weapon look better Also a suggestion: how about the in-game Reaver for his weapon?
@Badcogg & Kite, thanks for the reply, it really helped . @Vovosunt- I think the horn on the helm is too big, it creates an imbalance, try shortening it or elongate the one that has been cut.
@praetus, I really like the bracers. As for the shoulder, it looks very weak.
hey guys how do I actually submit a layered artwork successfully onto dota merchandise section? I have been trying for a week and it keep failed. emailed Steam but no reply

Looks awesome man, only crit, style looks inbetween WoW and torchlight but it will still look smoking in Dota 2!
Wow that's a cool Omni there
Mittens have never been more badass, awesome look for Omni :thumbup:

Recently finished this queen of pain set with CamCrawford! New Zealand workshoppers unite!
Have a look if you feel like it! haha

Any help?
