Paskies hangout

Paskie

Hi there folks! This is where i will post my stuff that i am working on for the Dota 2 workshop. The goal is to get better at 3D and to get suffient models for a portfolio.

Will throw concepts in here on a regular basis. If anyone want to collaborate on some items give me shout!

Paskie

Getting closer to finishing the texturing on my razor set.

Paskie

Finished! Will snag some videos in the weekend.

Paskie

Set for Chaos] Knight. Some of these are already submitted but will be resubmitted when the hero is accepting submissions.

Paskie

Tidehunter

The idea is to make some sort of Goblin submarine salvaged parts. Needs a lot more exaggerated details.

BrontoThunder

You might be better off just doing hard surface modelling for those items and using ZBrush for adding a few dings and scratches. Using ZBrush for the whole provess just makes them look lumpy and blobby.

bewsii

I'd have to agree. There's no reason to make something this simple in zBrush for the base mesh unless you just happen to be very good at hard surface modeling with it (and most people aren't).

Learning the fundamentals of modeling is more important than just jumping in to a sculpting program and modifying shapes.

I actually have that done already. Do you recommend that i adjust the scale on different parts (which i want to do)in maya instad of inflating in zbrush? I can see how that would get better results. I mapped those before importing it to zbrush so i would be able to that quite fast. The idea is to have like a gnomish feel to it without attracting blizzard Think Kezan territory object. Thanks for the feedback and tips!

Paskie

Trying out some concepts on SD. Want to try to do a set with the colors from his hands and not so many spikes.

Paskie

Might as well post the CK mount sketch too.

Paskie

Just about finished with the high poly on the sd set.

Paskie

Almost done now!

Paskie

And it's done!

I-ninja

nice the chains give him the more "I came from hell to take you with me" look

Paskie

He has the chains by default, but i think the gem in the center draws more attention to the chains which i think looks as you said more hellish. I went for less spikes and ragged cloths to a more cleaner heroic look if you can say that

Paskie

Sketching on a courier which is obviously open for teaming up on

Paskie

For the contest.

Paskie

Also doing a weapon for PA.

Paskie

Concept for Beastmaster

Paskie

Going into conceptmode and trying out different stuff.

DP

Paskie

And some sculpts. Trying to pimp up my Necrolyte weapon with some sort of corrupted steel going on.

Paskie

Sketching on some ideas for Shadow Shaman weapons

Paskie

Throwing up some CK stuff too.

Paskie

Snipah! Vampire slayer stuff

Paskie

Tidehunter weapon done, now to do the torpedo and the scraps from submarine.

Paskie

CK is up! Going to submit a lot of items to this one

Paskie

Another weapon for CK.

vlad_the_implyer

This one is way better!

I agree! The other one was really not cutting it.

Paskie

Soon.

Paskie

And done!

Paskie

Working on some concepts for chen.

Paskie

Some variations on the ck concept that i made some time ago.

Paskie

Doing the basic forms on the mount and some low details.

Paskie

Checking out the rigging before going into texturing.

nice work on the tide items.but is putting modern items like parts of a submarine generally accepted? i was thinking of maybe doing the same thing.

I think it depends on what theme you are going for. I agree that modern items may not be the best choice, but this theme i'm going for is a Goblin/Keen engineering type which i think fits ok. I'm sketching on ideas for a full set in the theme, scraps from a goblin submarine where the periscope is included. It's harder to do this theme than i imagined it would be

I don't think you should be discouraged from trying out different stuff, there is lots of room for engineered items. Clockwork, Gyro and Timbersaw for example. Just make them look like the fit the game environment. I say go for it!

Paskie

Coming closer.

Progress is sloooooow.

Paskie

Chens staff is done!

Paskie

Idea for a Cauldronward, up for collaboration if anyone is interested.

7thBattery

I love that idea. The only thing I'm not too keen on is the eyes being on the ends of bones. For one thing, it doesn't make the most sense (not that it really has to, but still), for another, I'm not sure how much you'll be able to do with them animation wise.

Could you put them on something more articulated? Maybe they could be eyestalks of some creature being cooked in the stew? Or maybe they could just be floating in the muck and bob and bounce around.

You could also try to arrange it so your handle is the cauldron's mouth and get some expression in there.

I like it a lot though, very cool

Paskie

Yeah, I agree. I was thinking about some spiderlegs this morning so maybe some hairy stuff could work as eyestalks? Was also thinking about maybe changing the theme to a Dire/Radiant where the radiant has a more organic stew and the dire a more grim. Floating eyes was the first idea, but could not work out how the eyes would animate if they are floating and how would they see anything above the edge? But as you said, maybe it does not have to be realistic I'll sketch some more on it!

Paskie

How about this?

Paskie

Forgot to post here

Paskie

A bit lazy during the vacation, will try to finish the mount for CK soon.

Paskie

Made a bunch of new concepts.

Here is one for Spectre. May need some adjustments to the color.
