[Dota 2] - Witch Doctor - Tiki Set

Gerre

I'll be working on a Tiki/Tribal set for Witch Doctor including a Tiki mask, a staff and clothing/armor of some kind. Since we're allowed to team up for this contest, I'll be working together with Evil_Knevil. I'll do modeling and texturing. Evil will do skinning and compiling.

Bio: An ancient legend tells of Tiki, the first man to be created. Whether the Witch Doctor is a direct descendant or the first man himself remains a mystery... Or he simply likes masks a lot.

First concept for the mask. Feel free to post feedback, since I'm not that familiar with the style yet.

I really like the tiki mask. I also working on the witch doctor but just got a rough concept.

JGcount

This is a great idea! Love it. Moar feathers'n'shit!

Gerre

Some progress on the mask before going into ZBrush. *fixed broken link*

Gerre

Started sculpting.

Final sculpt.

LoD0 is currently sitting at 494 tris. I doubt I can get it down to 250 tris for LoD1 though.



Texture progress.

Pina

Cool!
To get to 250 tris seems like it will be very hard dude. You will really have to simplify.

Futashia

absolutely hilarious, but thematic as well

Gerre

Managed to get it down to exactly 250 tris . I had to cut down a lot on the mouth area. Finishing the texture tomorrow.

Dewzie

Love it!

Hi, I rigged the mask and did a quick test compile. Here's what the tikimask looks like in game:

Also here's a close up of the final mask. After some editing LoD0 has exactly 500 tris and LoD1 has 246 tris.

I'm glad they moved the deadline, now I won't have to rush this one . Thinking of making a fourth item with the extra time we've been given, but we'll probably be uploading the set already once this one is finished.

Anyways highres done

Gerre

finished

Clyptic

Turned out pretty good.

Gerre

Thanks. Still have to test it out ingame and then we're ready to submit.
