Coridium's DOTA 2 Thread

Coridium

Hi all,

There are so many awesome threads on this forum it is very inspiring and quite intimidating :poly121:. I have intended to create a dota 2 thread for sometime with the hope of becoming a bit more involved in the great community that has been inspiring me for sometime, so here I go...

The first I completed was for Outworld destroyer (which I worked on with my friend Jake "cakeypigdog" Gumbleton)called Dragon Forged Armour (was part of the Polycount DOTA 2 contest)...

The second, I actually started before the OD set but it me so long to actually finish it was for Natures Prophet and was called Outcast...

Most recently I decided to try something a bit different and created a HUD. I always loved the loading screen from DOTA 2, so I tried to use that theme and develop it into a full HUD. I was very proud to find out about 2 weeks ago that valve accepted the HUD and is now in the store! :poly136:



Background of this image is the awesome valve created DOTA 2 loading screen!

Coridium

Jalcober, Nikey, TravelMate - Thank you all very much!

iRYO400 - Thanks, I am not sure whats next was talking to a friend about possibly doing a courier, which would be an interesting challenge. :-) I am also thinking of reworking the head of natures prophet as various people have mentioned that it makes him a bit too difficult to recognise.

I have put together a very quick mini "tutorial" of the techniques I used to create the stone elements for the HUD. Its not the most interesting tutorial :-/ but hopefully someone might find it useful.

Thank you for the great tutorial Coridium, loved the pacing of explanation and then demonstration.

Also is that the MikeNash shader in your renders? they look incredible.

That is super awesome, favorited and watched bunch of times. Please do more of these. THe only thing is, the last part is kinda hard to follow, because there's no cursor and everything is going smooth.

Fantastic tutorial, thanks!
