Sumers

also few GIFs on last set:

belkun

Your presentations are just insane! Those logos really make me swoon, I absolutely love all of them! Awesome work all around.

The only thing that I'm not a big fan is the HUD for the Slark set, some areas like the left side feels a bit too bright for my tastes, but apart from that it looks great.

thx mate!
Yeah, i were afraid that hud-skin can be distracting in game, but in reality i forgot that it's even exist, after first creeps met each over on lane. Anyway, i learned a lesson from that and next hud will be in more darker values.

working on naga

down_limit

great job! I hope that the end result will be performed in a standard color scheme.

Automedic

Wow this naga concept looks like it will become something truly amazing. :poly115: Can't wait to see it finished.

Sumers

ty guys

done with highpoly

kremrhi

great presentations overall
and great design for this naga siren, strong design and nice palette

keep it up

JayKLegendary

That wip naga set looks good! It's as if Naga killed PA and decided to wear her armor or something.

Sumers

oh boy, It's been a while. ^ thx for feedback and sry for not replying in time

working on particles for weapon

BladeofEvilsBane

Ahhh I love this set, the particle reminds me of this : [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r4cX2EPt2zE"]Icy Finger of Death | Frozen Planet - YouTube[/ame]

Automedic

Nice job on those particles. I would suggest to reduce the animation rate on the background glow a bit, though - I think a smoother, more tranquil effect would fit the overall look of the set better.

[NB] Mohsen

Why'd you change from the swords to something that looks like an anchor? I think the swords a better. Unless there will be 2 different styles?

yeah, 2 styles

[NB] Mohsen

Ahh i see. Could i offer to do the textures? Or are you okay with doing it yourself?

GhostDetector

I think you should add a some warm colors to the armor because it looks really close to PA's pallete.

hmmm i'll handle it, but thanks for suggestion!

Sumers

done with naga:



also started twitter yesterday

Automedic

I must admit I prefer the blade with the old version of the glow (with the pearls) because the vortices for the other blade clip from certain angles .

Amazing work with that set, though! I would love to see it in the game.

hamstocks

I really like the promo pic for that naga set! that's something I really need to work on

Sumers

Ty guys, yeah i prefer style with pearl too

Here few GIFs

bounchfx

awesome work Sumers! I love your presentation, and thank you for sharing some wip gifs of your process!

Stewart

Damn, awesome!

Sumers

Thx guys, i'm glad you like it. Seems though presentation doesn't affect too much on rating. Maybe i should spent this time on improving concept better.

speaking of concepts - here goes one for sniper, and i'm looking for collaboration on it. let me know if you're interested.

vertical

Heh, the sniper looks good but I would replace the green parts with the other major colors.

Sumers

^thx man

collab with Prostomogy and Scrake

finished highpoly of scythe for necro

StuBurrito

Thats an ace sculpt Sumers!

Snowstorm

The sculpt itself is fantastic, but I think it's also way too much detail for a dota 2 item and most of it will just become noise. It's quite a radical departure in the level of detail compared to your last few sets.

jacobwhite08

The presentation is so cool!

Goeddy

mhm second the level of detail on the scythe.

also i think the concept for the nagaset was pretty awesome, but you sadly lost almost 50% of the volume in the transition to 3d wich hurt the shape a lot.

the 3d model realy doesn't look like anything special where the concept looks incredible.
i know there would be quite some clipping if you increased the volume, but valve doesnt seem to be too picky about that, and the end user wont mind anyway.

Sumers

thx for feedback guys. yes, dealing with clipping, polygonal/texture limits during work on naga were quite painful experience.

working on textures for necro atm and here some highpoly and lod0 with normals:

ShorkGamer

I am a HUUUUGE Necro Fan it would be awesome to see this set ingame soon. :-D
I like the scythe it looks very unique.

87roach

I really like your work and presentations!

Spudnik

Loving it, make sure you allocate enough UV space to the high frequency detail on the back since that's gonna be most visible and complex ingame. My only suggestion would be to increase the thickness of the armor/cloth plates by x1.5 or x2

Sumers

ty all for support guys, finished set for necro:

Duosigma

I actually really like the swirly particle effect for the naga swords. Though I think the headpiece looks a bit off with the colour scheme that you were going for.

pior

Hey all ! I am giving a hand to Sumers and Andumy for their Sniper set by taking care of the texturing. Texturing someone else's work is actually a pretty fun thing to do, and since I don't have much time on my hand these days because of unrelated reasons, I thought I could squeeze that "side task" in, here and there.

Here is the first pass of texturing and material definition ; that is to say, straightforward coloring before any hand painting, which will later bring in the additional weathering, highlighting, scratches, gradients - you name it

It's an interesting set, it being a bit of a departure from the usual Dota 2 "jungle" style ; in other words, it's a fun experiment !

quockhanhlk

Can someone tell me why his 'first pass' texture look even better than my final one ? xD
Srsly though, great work as always pior!

Andumy

this ^ haha .But yea,i agree,i can't wait to see the final result

pior

Quock, thanks man !

This is what I would call "second pass" - adding extra little bits of shading, ink washes, and so on :

Lyether

That Naga Siren Set Doe. Amazing display of concepts.

pior

Alright, this one is pretty much wrapped up now as far as texturing goes. That was fun, and makes me want to do more Sniper sets !

heboltz3

Radical Sumers, Pior & Andumy. I am loving it.

Sumers

Decided to share my CFG, i'm using it for testing and making presentation, hope it will be useful for someone.

https://www.dropbox.com/s/sp85mf3i6jprott/sumers.cfg?dl=0

How to ativate it:
You can rename it as you like and put into "dota 2 beta\dota\cfg\" folder
Open console in main menu and use command "exec"

Start game, use it again.
Done. Now functions:

Press
"L" - give +1 lvl
"K" - give 99999 gold
"N" - refresh hero's abilities/health


"P" - show/hide bone structure


"]" - show/hide particle's boxs and names


"Z" - time slower
"X" - time faster
"C" - set time to normal


"backspace" - erase every text messages
"H" - turn on/off noclip - its basically freecam, im using WASD to move with it


"<" - hide/show all UI exept portret
">" - hide/show portret


"/" - hide/show fog of war (it only hides the effect, enemy units still stays invisible)

You can edit this config and add whatever you want by opening it with simple notepad. If you find some intresting command to add - let me know.

GhostDetector

Belkun contributed this from a source he found. It hides every UI element.

bind "F12" "ssMode"

alias	"ssMode"	"fullui"
alias	"fullui"	"sv_cheats 1; dota_sf_hud_actionpanel 1; dota_sf_hud_channelbar 1; dota_sf_hud_chat 1; dota_sf_hud_inventory 1; dota_sf_hud_top 1; dota_hud_healthbars 1; dota_no_minimap 0; cl_drawhud 1; dota_render_crop_height 150; dota_render_y_inset 31; alias ssMode noui"
alias	"noui"		"sv_cheats 1; dota_sf_hud_actionpanel 0; dota_sf_hud_channelbar 0; dota_sf_hud_chat 0; dota_sf_hud_inventory 0; dota_sf_hud_top 0; dota_hud_healthbars 0; dota_no_minimap 1; cl_drawhud 0; dota_render_crop_height 0; dota_render_y_inset 0; alias ssMode fullui"

And from pior. It adjusts the camera distance

bind "KP_MULTIPLY" "toggle dota_camera_distance 1134 800 500"

Spudnik

Cheers, that simplifies things quite a bit!

Reza

Thanks (y)

t1mu

ShorkGamer
