Dota 2 Props to 3dsmax, maya, etc...

fire67

Hey everyone !

I would like to know if its possible to import a part of the Dota 2 map to 3dsmax or any 3D software in any format (preference for FBX).
It seems that it's possible to extract props etc... from the game but I would like to avoid reconstructing the map inside 3dsmax...

Thank you very much !

You can extract assets using GCFScape. I'm not to sure about the actual ground of the map.

Thank you for your answer
It seems that GCFScape offers the possibility to extract one by one assets, but is it possible to extract a part of the map ? I mean with all object with exact position.

Nope! The map is constructed in Source, therefor you can't extract the map. Also, objects on the map is duplicated and painted on the map by hand.

Why do you want to do this?

I think every game client has this file "dota 2 beta\dota\models\heroes\viper\viper_hit.ma"
It contains the whole map, believe it was used for a cinematic or something.

I've created a shading solution for Unity similar to Dota 2 : Game Shaders Volume 1 - Dota 2

I am currently working on shaders for static lightmapped objects and I need assets for testing purpose.

I thought about using the Dota 2 map or at least a part of it. But I don't want to spend to much time at creating it again inside a 3D software.
That's why I would like to know if it's possible to export the map or a part of it and import it inside a 3D software.

Any idea ?
