[Dota2] – Witch Doctor – Ritual Sacrifice Set

FreddyBoomsticks

Hey. I've got some ideas for a witch doctor set. I think it could be well creepy. Will post some concepts/early models soon. Cheers.

So a coat for the doctor.
And some voodoo dolls.
And a staff coming soon.

Be gentle because these are my first models from Maya. I come from Solidworks and thought i'd know what I was doing; turns out I know about 10 percent of this game-making process; I am used to just making pretty images of mechanical things.

On the bearcoat i was trying to make fur and then turn it into a normal. but it never turns out looking any good.

So instead i just played around with a normal image in Photoshop and got a better result. But this has some stretching so the uv needs more work and i need to start from scratch on this normal.

Here are some cute little voodoo dolls to replace witch doctor's bag of skulls. i need to make a normal from the stitches and eyes and then delete them to take the pixel count down.

remember to tick the box option "convert from left handed coordinate space" when you import your models, thats why your default mesh is probably lying down on the grid, or else it will become an problem later when you are trying to get your mesh into the game.

oh yea? thanks trigger.
so i started with standard maya xyz settings. then i read up on making .smd files and it said source uses Z as the up-axis. so now my models are laying sideways.

voodoo dolls replace the shoulder bag. the dolls with a cloth, stitching and button normal.and color. it needs some fine tuning. time for bones so they swing a little.

i reworked the dolls. almost ready for color. they were way over the polycount. i was counting faces until i learned that i should be counting tris.
so now im in the process of cutting them all down.

cheers.
