Pudge's mohawk

DestroyerGR

Well there goes
Here is my first hair attempt!
I wanna know what you think guys!



P.S:Texturing of this is still on for grabs!

DestroyerGR

Come on guys tell me what you think!!

You should add more definition to it and maybe some more variants in the hair spikes. It looks too much the same at some places imo.

Also your screenshot is not the best I'd say. Try to zoom a bit more so we can see it more clearly.
I'd also suggest you to use the Zbrush render instead of only doing a simple screenshot.

Keep polishing it but good start

Do you believe that the mohawk fits pudge? :P

Lachance

Yes I think it does.

Are you aware they just changed/updated his model tho?
Maybe you should check that to see if it fits on it and everything.

yeah i know about the update,but i am too lazy to decompile the new model :P

I think it does fit him! If you manage to stick to his style, it'll look great

Also, I don't think the new model changed his head, only his arm and he got an apron along with some new weapons, so I think it should be fine to use the old model.

DestroyerGR

Damn,whenever i try to test my item ingame,dota 2 shuts down.
Tried more that 20 times.

DestroyerGR

Something is really wrong with my item!

Here is how it looks


It is awful,and i dont know why.
The zbrush thing:

The maps:


the low poly


I made the low poly by cancelling the subdivision levels in zbrush

Is there something wrong with the bakes or the model to lead to such horrible ingame shot?
Btw the textures are not good,any tips would be much appreciated!

DestroyerGR

Help guys please!

In order to get feedback you might want to post screenshots of your asset taken in Blender, Marmoset, or any other 3D environment that can display the full result in realtime - at least with normals, diffuse and specular.
Also the UVs are very wasteful at the moment - there is no reason for the UV islands to be at an angle like that.

Good luck !

Hm,okay i will!
Can the uv's be the reason of the low quality model ingame? :?

Partly, but not fully. While it is true that the importer requires very lowres textures (128*256 in the case of a Pudge head piece), there are obviously other problems here, as shown by the faceted look you are getting in the portrait preview screen.

I just thought of a ward concept(i suck at drawing)

DestroyerGR

Any improvement tips?
