hey guys, I pulled my last kotl set and am going to use this to try and and get it up to par. I don't want to spam this with all the items at once so i will just post 2 or 3 in game pics. I was trying to make a set that was on the lower end of the totem pole,something a little more pedestrian, or low key. after i redid the robe, that kind of changed. Add on top of that a rushed workshop release, and boom, failed with another massive investment of time. So yeah, I really care about this stuff and will try and respond to feedback. This guy needs a makeover.
Also, if anyone has a lens flare i can borrow i used most of mine. Album of embarrassing promotion included.
This should be sticky'd considering we have our own section now.
I wonder which mods will take charge of this section to do that each month. Not that there's a ton of threads yet that much wading needs to be done to find it.
ok, I redid the most textures over the last 2 days, as well as tried to really get a hang of doing fur/hair for the main and hoof areas. Here is my latest beauty shot and im gonna get to importing/testing tomorrow. thanks for tips annux.
this contest is really great! I can really feel the pulse of excitement and friendly help on getting new items to the store!
Started blocking out a KotL set;
I think I'm going to do a full set sans horse. The horse gear slot will give me plenty of customisation for the horse and I don't really feel like sculpting a whole new horse - I'd rather focus on making every thing else top-notch!
I know i'm crazy late in here...and i have no guarantees that i'll finish this within the month. especially since i'm moving into a new place april 1...but hey. i did this on a 10 minute break, so i might as well run with it.
I was thinking i want to see storm spirit sans hat...putting him into a bit more of a monk feeling. I was toying with the idea of tacking on a little bit of armor (loosely chinese).
The KOTL idea..yeah..it's kind of a draft hippogrif minus its wings...maybe it's part Kiwi. don't judge him, he's sensitive.
I'm hesitant to do a mount though. I'm confident i can do the sculpt and texture...but my limited (not successful yet) experience with importing into the actual game concerns me on this point.
If i do it though, i'd like to keep the proportions close enough to the original in key places so that essentially any horse armor could still fit him. that'd be neat.
@ReverendK: Wow go for that storm spirit concept. First time I really like the heroe that way!
Also the KOTL mount is a great idea as well, but if you need to choose go for the storm spirit!
So, it seems the Spectre file is out of date and doesn't include the weapon.
Any chance someone who has already decompiled it could upload it somewhere for all of us so that we all don't have to do it individually?
Since no one said anything I decompiled it myself (it's easier than I thought). http://www.mediafire.com/?huah4w5836lou30

Started working on a Specter weapon
Here's the low poly Lod0 at 364 tris
And the sculpt (my first real attempt at sculpting)
I wanted to have some custom particles inside that circle thingy but I guess that's gonna be tough :P
Thoughts?
Concept for Mount and Mount Armor for a KotL set, gonna be working on this with Ben Henry, with any luck it should come out nicely. Rest of the set is in the works currently.

Roque, i think those small pieces will be almost invisible in game, and the handle could be thicker
That weapon is looking real nice Bronto! maybe add some more height on the extrudes at the top blade so it reads a bit better..
I'm only not really feeling the armor though, it's not really giving me that wizard kinda feel. Keep up the good work though looking forward seeing that weapon finished!
Make sure to consider how his mount is broken up. The hair, tail and armour are separate pieces and each slot needs to be able to fit with the original.

Frosty, your normal green channel in that render looks inverted. Try flipping y to fix it.
If I have time I'ma make my KOTL set I've been dreaming about for the past 2 months
Hahaha, I guess I should post something other than my chicken scratch concept here so it doesn't seem like you're talking to air :P
But hey! You need to slow down. I feel like a chump compared to how much you get done!

I came here looking for this as well xP
Staff WIP:
Uploaded Feral!
But this is all I can see, haha.
I need a mod to move it
ROFL Bronto, I thought the exact same thing! Bigger bootay than luna!
Haha, love it! Butt Rider anyone?

Staff I scribbled out while waiting for the G-League finals to start.

Perhaps TVidotto could add that to the first post
I thought you were talking about my weapon there, for a sec xD
But yeah, Vidotto could you please add the link to the decompiled Specter?
PS: There's no normal map for her weapon. It's not together in the files with the other textures
still working my way up to zbrush. Woooohooo.
added Bronto =]
also added the pierate staff to the finished entries
we have any other finished work?
Roque, i think those small pieces will be almost invisible in game, and the handle could be thicker
While I was worried with the other details I forgot that four small floating pieces wouldn't be very visible in-game
I'll probably remove those. Thank you
EDIT: Forgot to mention that the handle is the same thickness as the default one.
______________________________________________
Question: If you do the bakes in xNormal do you have to flip any of the channels in the normal map?
______________________________________________
And another edit. Here's the final with masks( put some nice self-illum on the engraving).
What do you guys think I should improve before submitting?
I'm only not really feeling the armor though, it's not really giving me that wizard kinda feel. Keep up the good work though looking forward seeing that weapon finished!
Everything put aside, don't you think this is a little too big for her?
Yup. That's why i'm going to tweak it more before submitting. Not today though.
PS: What's "everything"?

almost finish mount highpoly .
Nice mount Yi!
just that tail that needs the same quality as the other parts
This will be my first submission to the dota 2 workshop, so any feedback or help you guys are willing to offer would be appreciated.
I think I may only have time for a single item this month. A storm spirit hat! Wooo! I'll post pics tomorrow.
working really well this set, great work!
Wow this is a great set, blue isn't hurting the design in any way and it's the better choice if you want your set to stand out.
