So whose animating all these wonderful creatures! If you're looking for collabs, I would love to animate some of them! I cant wait to see what summon you have planned next!
actually there is no correct or wrong for chinese dragon, i don't see the problem there.
here is one random dragon head i found.
somehow i feel that tutorial really makes you "dead" for thinking a dragon head. because normally chinese dragon really got variety form. but most common description of dragon is...
snake body
cow nose
deer horn
fur on face
fish scale
eagle claw
horse head
etc....
correct me if i really messed up my chinese dragon description.
There are a lot of interpretations for the Chinese dragon so I don't think there is much a "right" or "wrong" here. Remember it's for Dota, so it could perfectly just be based on the chinese culture, not just a copy/paste
@Reyne: Thanks for the suggestion!
Here are the spiderling with color variations. Texture very WIP
Those materials read beautifully, really well done! It was alot of fun seeing this piece come together.
When you are churning out these pieces so quick, are there concepts involved,or do you just sketch out in zbrush/mudbox until you feel the creative juices rejoicing and then just roll with it?
Thank you, heboltz3!
We did'nt had much time, so I did some quick sketches, just the general idea. None of the concepts for the treant were used, we skecthed it on ZB.
For the color, I already had an idea when I did the sketches, but I tested the color pallete directly on ZB too.
little question, the "deming" is chinese words too?
2nd thing is i know jiangshi is chinese vampire, but normally it is literally "stiff corpse" ...so if put "jiangshi" name on death prophet's ult ability is kinda awkward for me. should use "ghost" "spirit" in mandarin should be more proper...
Yup, you gotta spill the beans on the DK ultimate dragon. I'm guessing you had to do it all manually? Decompile the skeleton and take it through the entire process?
I always knew Clockwerk was german. Nobody else initiates that fast. I really love that concept, though I can't help but wonder why he would need a safety buoy strapped to his back

ofc he is german. thats why his name is clockwerk and not clockwork!
it comes from the german word uhrWERK
Sukotto- Not really, Cottonwings (<3) nailed it! We wanted to do something that resemble the Keen Folks. Automedic- Thanks! It's not a safety buoy, it's a generator..hope it makes sense when we finish it! haha
Thanks a lot, everyone!
We're making 3 moustache styles and 1 eye style (We want to add a valve on his eye...just hope the tri limit is enough fo it!)
Do I get a prize for guessing it right? *sparkle sparkle eyes*
My goodness, this set keeps getting better and better, more style options? I'm so in heaven. You know what, let's make mustache as a must for every Clockwerk's helmet.* From Mario to Dali to Hitler, imagine the endless possibilities!
I can't believe I managed to put this helmet under 800 tris:
Textures still WIP
A little tip on how to optimize the eye a bit.
You should connect the edges like the example below instead of collapsing the edges to one point. It will make it easier on the engine to read lighting information as well as reduce the number of tris.
Example.
8 sided circle would have 8 tris if you just collapsed the edge.
If you connect every edge together (like in the example), then you would end up with 6.

@BladeofEvilsBane: Thanks!
Started a Broodmother Spiderling
Inspired by chinese flower arrangements and Penjing.
You guys are doing amazing work. I am blown away by it. I really hope you get a lot of this stuff in for the event!

@Jewish: The lack of social life does the trick haha
@Mdk: Sometimes Skinshader or zbro_viewport
Almost finished with these guys
I call shenanigans. I've been working my backside off since new years and I'm only just 75% done with one courier.
The truth is obvious: You're wizards.
Seriously though, I am in love with every last item you've put up for this event. I'll be buying everything, especially that spiderling. Amazing work!
Textures look Amazing tho!

We're almost done with the collection ^^

We are making a set for Clockwerk! Still WIP
This guy is so fun to make cosmetics.
I ripped the model from the files. You can download it here
awesome work as always
Pretty much exactly what I was going to say.
Also, it's a really nice sculpt!
Were you guys channeling Bismarck?
I think it would be cool if you made the helmet a little more like a pickelhaube helmet
I really love that concept, though I can't help but wonder why he would need a safety buoy strapped to his back
ofc he is german. thats why his name is clockwerk and not clockwork!
it comes from the german word uhrWERK
He sounds like clockwerk tho.

We're making 3 moustache styles and 1 eye style (We want to add a valve on his eye...just hope the tri limit is enough fo it!)
Start to polypaint his face
And I thought it couldn't get any more awesome! Absolutely sick sculpt and polypaint! Can't wait to see the final result.
