Mr Trojan's workshop

MrTrojan

Hi guys, I'm just wondering if I could get some feedback on an item I recently recreated for wraith king.

I've been self teaching myself for the last year now and am really starting to get the hang of things for dota2 item creation but there is definitely still a lot more I could learn to become a better modeller.

I have 2 images, 1 screenshot from inside blender without shaders and the other is an in-game shot.

any feedback on how I could improve upon what I already have would be much appreciated.

Xajai

I like it! i would maybe try to do something else with the detail map, the runes, while cool, might look a bit like small marks when you zoom out in game. maybe a couple of big runes with the green glow will make the item look more fitting. just my oppinion

Snowstorm

Consider giving the runes a glow of the same colour as the skull. It looks like a solid item, though perhaps you could push some of the shading more, deeper shadows, brighter highlights.

Baddcog

Yeah I think glowing runes would add a lot but it is a cool weap.

On the same note, the skull completely bleeds out with glow, and it just looks like a circle. Maybe make the eyes/nose grey with no glow. Would be easy to test at least.

MrTrojan

Xajai - you make a good point, I will have a look at the runes zoomed out. I think I did check this out but it won't hurt to look again.

Snowstorm - at the moment I'm still learning to be a better texture artist so that would be why the details aren't all there at the moment, will give it another go with your suggestions

Baddcog - I will have a play around with the skull a little more and try out some of your suggestions as well, see how it turns out

Thanks for the feedback though for sure guys, so so helpful

MrTrojan

Finally got around to getting my textures done again and liking how it's looking, what do you guys think?

Baddcog

That's lookin pretty bad ass

hamstocks

That's a fine sword you got there. I like seeing the progression from your first iteration, to your last one. Great work!

MrTrojan

Thanks guys, it's been a steep learning curb from a year ago but a good one!

also updated it in workshop now, thanks for the feedback!!

MrTrojan

I have 2 concepts for Centaur inspired from that show Vikings... wondering which idea looks better.

please note that colours aren't true to his colour scheme and will reflect more on that when I get to the texture stage.

MagnoHusein

The white details are too small/thin and I feel the axe head is in the same path, and there are many, willp probably get noisy in game.

Suggestion: less amount of details and compensate with bolder ones~ (and try to give then some flow, works like a charm.

MrTrojan

Yeah true, I'll be making a lot of those details more bold in size that's for sure.

I personally like number 2 better, I think the wood handle will fit centaur. cool concepts
