Dota 2 rigs animation

MattiasG

Hey!
I have been playing around with some of the dota2 rigs. I have never actually played dota, so u have to excuse me if I dont pay respect to how a certain creature should or could move. I just play around with them for the fun and practice of my animations skills. They are not intended to fit into the game.

Anyhow, I will post some animations here and hope you enjoy them.

And of course! Feel free to feedback them. I am just an aspiring animator so all feedback is very welcome
Most of the post will be wips, so there is always time for polishing


Cheers!

IMO Golem should be more like "massive brick" rather than zerling

You could try to bend him in the middle and put his hands on the ground, let him pull his arms behind him; that will create an illusion that he's so heavy than he almost can't carry his own weight.

you can actually try to make money from your exercises, for example you pudge's animation can easily be published at workshop as "taunt". And item sets with additional animations quite appreciated by community.

Those are some really high quality animations. As sumers said, you could try submitting similar stuff as taunts on the workshop.

My only issue with the animations is that most of them don't fit the characters, probably because you never played the game, but I'd recommend you to read some more about the characters lore and skills, hear some voice lines and maybe try them out ingame.

That would be cool though I have no idea how to do that :P
If you guys have a link to a tutorial where they explain how to attach your animation to the ingame stuff pls share
