Shock

thx you snow

some wip of a broodmother set i work on in collaboration with those ravafx guys: loadingscreen, turntables and texture-all-in-one - theme is a plague bringer broodmother

AndrewHelenek

that creep is gonna get rekt

Would you guys mind explaining how you get such clean shader maps, specifically on the sandking. The metallic look is really good, Ive always found I get a very matte look when doing it.

Wonder if you have any tips.

Shock

here is an the example of sk tail. its a combination of 4 channels:
mask1 blue (for metalness effect),
mask2 blue (for tinting the spec light to the materials color),
mask2 red (for setting specular intensity)
and mask2 green (for rimlight intensity).

try to use very soft values in the metalness channel and also dont only use 1 color but try to create some noise inside the mask so the metaleffect will be not same intense over the whole model. then do the same on the specular mask but u can use alot more contrast (and white color) here. for the tint: just some grey - make sure its not too much and also not too less, but take care many heros have a custom vmt setting may be overwriting ur tint spec channel information - in that case just leave it black or test with it. for the rimlight i chose dark values on the metal with more bright highlights at the borders.



and thats it. u can see that all the light information comes from the masks. there are no light-highlights in the color map. because of that the item will allways recieve the correct light by the game engine.



also @ my ogre scepter it is more or less the exactly same thing. combination of m1b, m2b, m2a and m2r. also in here the masks fade to black at the bottom of the crystal (with some noise inside again) to give it a more natural and less polished look.

tja

Wow, thanks a lot for this, should help me retexture the scepter for razor I was working on. Really appreciate it.

Hey hi. Can I see the original concept for SK's head?

Shock

thx bear and reza

@ravafx hey mate, here is the original sk head



but it was never used, rocket prefered to create his own head - and i let him.
about the ward, its a gif recorded with 10fps - because of that its actualy playing alot faster
then it is ingame. allways a problem of using gifs so... the less fps u record the faster the whole animation becomes

RavaFX

hm. interesting, Would love to see it made too.

Shock

we could still do it later on when we find a bit of free time between some projects (will tell rocket about it when he is done with our clockwerk). there are still some other things to be done... hayes still has do to a new idle animation for the very old emberspirit project as well as a new idle animation for the sand king... and u know also the brood is missing ability icons. so we will have to ship alot of stuff with the time later on anyways.. maybe we can ship the second style sk head with the animation^^

Shock

while im waiting for ursas second style head model, i started texturing the weapon for the clockwerk set.

Vayne4800

Really great work on the textures man! Such improvement!

Shock

here is the next part! what do u guys think about the face war painting?

Vovosunt

I really like the war painting. Just gives that plain surface so much more detail and provides overall a lot of character!

Shock

ok.. got the rough texture up. now some finework (and particles)

Shock

some fastfood for in between (collabo with growl and drew carrymore)

KungFuPanda

Looks very good a mushroom )) you could post him wacking creeps with that mushroom, just curious how the attack animation would look with that thing.

Shock

hey mate thanks. there are some attack animation gifs in the submission. sadly though the 10fps record there is not much detail.

KungFuPanda

Oh, yes, looks good , haven't noticed the workshop link...

Mr.Khann_Ha_Ha

Shock

started to texture a cm set (valkyrie theme, with rocket and pult).
so far its: head, shoulder and arms. weapon and back slot are still missing.
feedback is welcome



and weapon wip

Darren Pinard

Agreed textures looks great! Still waiting for your ogre staff to get in.

The CM head looks over the top to me, she kinda looks like a bug.

Shock

shipped the second tiny weapon in collabo with vayne,

Shock

hey folks what would u think would fit best for our cm as back slot:



this is the progress so far with weapon slot and adjusted textures:

ThatWalder

I would say potion is over done on heroes at the moment. I think the wings would just blend into the head piece and not make it stand out as much.

A mixture between the fur cape and cape 2. The gold edging and the gem on cape 2 with the brace and fur of the fur cape would make it stand out but still stay in style.

vertical

Sweet tiny branch guys.

GhostDetector

I like the fur cape 1 and Icy wings. Cape 2 seems pretty the same as far as CM capes go, maybe combime Fur + Cape 2 like how Pior made his sniper cape. Mix and match!

Shock

our cm set is up! here is the workshoplink:

im happy that i got some time for workshop stuff now

just finished a concept for slark. again i tryed to improve my artstyle a bit.
comments and feedback are welcome

greez

TtraG13

not a bad idea!)

KungFuPanda

Really nice ursa, very primal.

slark looks good too, but I don't understand what is that head mask.. weapon outline is nice but red on green won't be that visible.

SilkyPigeon

Some really nice work here. Very detailed and original. The kind of work I'd like to see in game.
