[Dota2] – Brewmaster – HOBO set

looney

Hello everyone, I have been reading from this forum for a few weeks now and just registered to enter this contest as I am confident enough that I could create something after learning modeling stuff here and from other sites. I wish to learn more from this experience and will be posting some concept drawings drawn by my friend soon.

Here are some concept arts for this set.

I added some concept pictures around 12 hours ago and it did not come out. Was it denied as post? Is there something wrong with how I posted it?

looney

Ok, I think there was something wrong with my post that did not come out.

Here's my WIP as of the moment. I decided not to upload the hand drawn images since the final created pieces were altered while modeling.

New members have to have their first post approved before posts show up, you might of just had an issue since your account wasn't fully active yet, just repost it.

Update:

Weapon and Offhand are done. Might have to change the back item since it overlaps with the weapon in most animations. The original weapon overlaps when animating too.

Will post screenshots later. I will upload to store once I get the others done.

Watch your shapes! the mat on his back for example, the individual planks are to small for the distance you will see the models at. same for the details on the pot and the rope on the bamboo staff

Dota 2 has a slightly cartoony style to help with readability of the characters. you might want to try and match that style better.

looney

You are right, I decided to change the mat to a combination of chair/mini cabinet of some sort. I will try to make the textures more cartoony. This competition is really pushing what I currently know about this stuff and its a very good thing.

Here are the images of items I finished.

Off-hand


Weapon


I will post more detailed images without the character later.

These are the blender renders.

Current Progress on the "Back" item.

LuCh!

looking good!
maybe you should tweak the white off the offhand item more to the blue side like his vest or the little bottle on his belt,
so it'll fit his color scheme better and it's a bit less bright

Submitted set to workshop.

I could only make total 3 items in this set.

Hi dude.
Nice work on he hobo set!

I am also starting work on a set for Brewmaster and I have a technical question for you: How did you attach the back item to his back? I attached mine to the single "mug4" bone but when Brewmaster moves, it moves in a strange way. My item is also a "rigid" item like yours so I did a very simple skinning.

Did you attach it to another bone? Or to several?

Thanks and good luck with your set.

looney

i attached it to several bones.. just check which is nearest to what pat of your item

Pina

Oh thanks, I got it. I used the spine bones for the backpack iteself and the "mug4" bone to drive other geometry.
