down_limit : I'd fo gor a more brown+orange color scheme to give him a steampunk feel (google steampunk ) , and maybe add a green light to the inside of the hood ( reflective form the head wich seems to be glowing )
And as an extra thing , you might wanna add some more detail to the mouth , like adding some thicknes to the teeths and rig it up
DL : when it comes to experimenting with schemes, doing so directly on the textures is usually a waste of time because 1-it takes time (!) because of all the file manipulations involved and 2-you won't get a chance to compare the before and after.
If you need to experiment with schemes, simply take a screenshot, duplicate it, and do all the theme testing and color changes directly on that screenshot in Photoshop. It will be 100 times faster and will give you a much better perception of where you are at.
Not a big fan of either the red or blue color schemes for the courier clothes. I'd try something like the actual website, with some dark and light gray tones, with some Polycount green details.
@dl sadly im a bit busy at the monment otherwise i would u some sketches, but what pior said is a rly good advise. its the same way i would also try it.
here's the progress on the crystal courier, sending it for rigging and animations.
changed the material on him to be crystal as well, sort of a diamond skin.
Top is original, bottom is all purple, next is purple carpet and orange helmet (I think best) though I do like the orange behind the swords more where they are most of the game.
Just to show that I am indeed participating here's the rough concept for my DP set based around the kitsune/ninetails. My buddy is still fleshing it out a little more to make the silhouette a bit more interesting but here's our starting point
i finnaly got off my ass and did a workday`s time of work. i`m pleased how it turned out. figured it needs a bit more polyshing on the masks department, and then i`ll try my hand at a promo art/loading screen... buuut i think i`l fail.
So if anyone is free to do a quick walpaper thiggie for me, i`d be more than happy to credit him entirely for his work.
feedback?
As for my share of feedbacks:
@baddcog: the 2 bottom right pictures feel best for me. first one is also good. but the others seem a bit of....
@sukotto: great concepts as usual. Hat reminds me of a stormtrooper helmet with ears
@down limit: i like where you got with the courier. Might i suggest a stealthy- sneaky street urcin kid animation for him? it seems fitting for his stature and hooded head.
Sukotto, nice ! It's good to see a version of that character coming to Dota, as it is so striking and iconic. Can't wait to see more.
All done with the design phase on my end :
I will be adjusting things a bit while modeling (most likely removing the little fins sticking out of the limbs as they busy up the silhouette too much, and reshaping the helmet to avoid the comparison with contemporary bike helmets) - but besides that I am happy with it. And of course the wings will not be just flat blue I am really looking forward to working on all these bug-like materials !
Its a nexon chest meaning that it was not created by workshop artists and it is only avaible for nexo players - correct me if I am wrong.
I adore the Dazzle pipe, tho!
some nexon items are made by other workshop artists, but nexon also makes most of their own items, and since it is nexon this means nothing to my dota, but hopefully this means we might still see some other singles bundles added
I hope I'm not too late to the party, but I too want to participate I'm an animator looking for a team.

No Pie For You!: you still need someone to do a 2d paint over it , some dramatic lighting/shadow and some athmosfpheric effects ( smoke n stufs )
I got my account hacked yesterday morning by some lovely chinese guys ; Locked it , and waiting for a reply from valve .
Till then , baked some normals for the witch doctor set
@Mihalceanu: that WD set looks awesome, I love the voodoo dolls @Blossomalex: looking great, although I think the cape would look better if it was a bit longer.
I've been busy last week, still chipping away at the high poly sculpt. There are so many new things I have to learn to work on this set, but I'm glad I got the chance to learn and try new things. I've never sculpted ragged cloth, rock, worn armor with scratches, or this many cloth folds in one place before, I'm still not too sure about my rock sculpt.
Kei said he wanted the red shuriken in front of Storm's belly to have rough gem-like surface similar to the default belt's red gem. I tried sculpting on the shuriken but it turned out pretty horrible, maybe it's because of my bad rock sculpting. Here's the progress so far.
Yeah, when it comes to gems don't overdo the sculpting - just place a few scratches here and there and some subtle plane changes to give a subtle facetted surface. Most of the look will come through texturing.
just used a bit time and worked on a common thumbnail layout for the polycount chest event, what do u think?
stuff is layered with adjustmentlayers on top, so everyone adjust the colors of border and or background to
whatever his personal favour is

Looks better Shock, but do you think you can remove the black outlines? Also maybe make greentooth more like a metal button/screw instead of an icon, like add a bevel to it?
Not sure if Player sets are allowed int his chest, but I'm really getting a good feel for this set now that I'm in the polish stage.
Things I'm annoyed about, cloth; its super annoying the shoulder piece and I dunno how I'm going to pull off the belt with the tri limit.
Hair; too much Same Width Strokes. I may have to go back and refine. *shudder*
Shoulder; Might be tough to fit in budget.
worked a bit more on it how about that?
the first monochrom version is my favourite because it can easily
fit with all the different colors that will appear inside while
the green one might not look as harmonic in combination with some
colors.

Looooooooove the hair! Doesn't look like there's too many same-width strokes to me, though the front looks a little rounded and pudgy. And the pieces don't really look like they'll totally burst the poly limits. It'll be FINNEEE.

Wow, awesome work! I really like the green one, but both of them look really professional.
Also as someone who uses the standard english UI on steam "von Snowstorm" has a nice ring to it :P
I made a test with the textures at the ingame resolution ; kinda low on the back slot , and I find it preety bussy atm .
I might remove one bag from his shoulder and change the color around a bit; suggestions welcomed:)
well i might be a bit early, but. i`ve finished it. my first actual set. yey!
things are starting to pile up for me so i will not make any more major modifications to the presentation image..... i tried to make some hand drawn lines but I JUST CAN`T DO (draw) IT YET* !
i used the shock`s polycount contour, and i will update it if needed.
hope i did everything alright for the admission part this month....
cheers all and thanks for the guidance
I'm a 3D modeller and most likely will be doing my own thing due to scheduling issues. Nice to see some great assets coming along! Hopefully I'll be able to contribute.
So many good stuff here since our last Naga update! Really liking that WD from mihal specially. Been a while since I saw anything I liked for him (can't trade my Skrillex hair!) but this is looking great so far! The hairstyle is cool and that green glow on the staff is awesome.
Here's how everything is looking so far on our end. Weapons are done and all LODs + textures are good to go! Just gotta do some extra tweaks and polish the rigging and start on the masks before doing promos.

And as an extra thing , you might wanna add some more detail to the mouth , like adding some thicknes to the teeths and rig it up
after all the procrastinating I've got all this shit baked out.
@Robo - Sculpts coming along nicely. Very much sold on the puppet, be great if it could be animated to fly around Rubicks head!
@Hawt Koffee - Very nice Drow set, and rather ambitious with all the clothing added!

Good as done with the wards textures, both Observer and Sentry.
Did a lot of work on this guy last few days. rough normals/ao and colors blocked in.
Guys! what you think aboute this scheme?
If you need to experiment with schemes, simply take a screenshot, duplicate it, and do all the theme testing and color changes directly on that screenshot in Photoshop. It will be 100 times faster and will give you a much better perception of where you are at.

@Blossomex, I think the ice colors are kind of simple, try having a gradient, Lighter in thinner ice, darker/ more saturated with thick/deep ice.
Top is original, bottom is all purple, next is purple carpet and orange helmet (I think best) though I do like the orange behind the swords more where they are most of the game.

Looks like both factions from Starship Troopers melded together haha

Now, we'll see how often this is done.
And great news about the singles bundle !

Oh nice! I like it! :thumbup:
would look like that on the final workshop page:

I think - 2ver. more recognizable for polycount
