How do you get good looking spheres in DotA 2 without making the tri count insanely high?

I imagine theres a magic number+normal mapping that can produce good results.

    It would really depend on the scale of the sphere and what angle it would be seen from. Could you show the concept/sculpt for a more specific answer.

    It also depends on the type of sphere you're starting with.
    Here is an example using two different primitives in 3DS Max. Standard Sphere and Geosphere.

    I'm sure both of these are still higher than you'd use, but it does indicate where the wasted triangles are :)
