Looking for tutorals

Shtreimel

What DigitalTutors serieses should I watch in order to create a good Dota item?
(by using ZBrush,Maya,Photoshop and what ever more softwares that you' recommend me )

(I already started watching "Quick Start to ZBrush" series)
(I am asking for a recommendation for tutorails that would teach me the tools of making a dota item from the start)

(It's related to this forum because I'm looking for tutorials to learn the tools for creating thing that are related to Dota)

I've already checked any guides that there are in this forum and they're too advenced, I'm looking for the basics of the softwares and techniques Tutorials.

^Ask people here what to do, whole section for you guys, try not to 1:1 items or concepts found on the net, i've even seen darksiders weapons on there, i hope valve knows who did what and when.. to cancel those entries.

Also youtube man boobtube, I mean Utube has it all!

Bobo streamed the creation of some Darksider's 2 weapons, might be worth watching for the workflow http://livestre.am/1iMtU

The most important thing to take away from tutorials is the techniques being used, rather than the actual item being made. Generally the best way to learn these well is to follow the tutorial step by step the first time you do it, then try to re-create the item from scratch without using the tutorial instructions at all, then finally apply the techniques to a personal project of your own (doesn't have to be big at all).

I find doing things in that order helps me learn the best and by the end of whatever asset I try making as a personal project, I'll have a great idea of the techniques that were taught.

Another thing to keep in mind however is the fact that beginners should not dive into learning multiple applications at one time. If you aren't really experienced with a primary modeling package like 3DS Max, Maya, etc., then I would suggest focusing on learning one of those well before jumping into ZBrush. Others might disagree with me, though.

I meant actual weapons, like the frozen blade, but that works too.

this one I think is one of the best tutorials about how to make an item for DOTA

Also look at some of the entries lately a lot of good entries are recording their whole process so take a look at those too.
