Windrunner - Eagle Rune Bow

Camaneor

Hi all!

I decided to make items for Dota 2, I`m familiar with 3DS max, however I`m still newbie.
Here is my first try, which is still in progress. Any opinion or good advice is welcome .
Sry for my bad english.

Have a nice day!

i mean make outer line of your texture

I`m about to finish my model (or hope so), so I made a few screenshoot.
I tried to make some glowing effect but not sure if it`s OK for Windrunner.
Also not sure that my textures are made correctly, but, well, this is my first try.
Please leave a comment if you have any opinion, it might be very helpfull .
Thank you, have a nice day.

Here is my final color map, mask 2, low and high poly models.

Spudnik

Looking good but turn down the self-illumination map a bit. It gives the whole bow the yellow-ish aura that looks a bit unnatural.

Camaneor

I just realized that mask 2 is completely the opposite what it should be, so here is the remake. Also at Stun and Dead animation my bow acting weird, probably messed up something at skinning, but no idea where . Everything else working correctly.
Any idea or solution? Thank you.

I reduced the self-illumination (from 100% to 25%) and the bow is still glowing a little. Maybe without self-illumination?
