DotA 2 import problem. (model&pics inside)

Hey!, I've been trying everything for over 3 days now, and I can't seem to figure out what's the problem.

I'm working on Phantom Lancer weapon for DotA 2.

I created the mesh, baked all four maps (color, normal, mask1(empty), mask2(empty)) bound it instead of the default weapon to the correct joint and exported as fbx.

when i import the model with the textures to DotA 2 in-client it says "import successful", but the model is invisible - i can't see any of it.

here is the model with the textures (fbx, 4 2048x512 textures):

the model looks fine in maya:

UPDATE: importing the asset to UDK works just fine, i suspect i have a problem with the binding of the spear to PL's joints.

yup didn't bound it correctly, also for some reason i had to export it as obj, import, and rebind to the original fbx.

Same problem as you bro, Im curious what kind of binding did you use? Im recreating the same one in the source Fbx and can't get the model to be visible on import.

Try to delete alpha channel from color map.
