Frenzy's Workshop

SgtFrenzy

Hi Guys,

I've not done a huge amount of 3D lately and I'm getting back into it with some Dota items.

To start I've made a set for my favorite hero, Broodmother.

Any crits or advice on getting the set into the game is appreciated.

Cheers!

Looks very solid. but keep in mind that since Dota 2 is very popular in China, you should be careful when submitting items based mainly on bones/skeletons, since it is censored content there

SgtFrenzy

Cheers Swagger, I'd not considered with issues with China.

Being my first item I'm not hugely expecting to get this one in, but it's something I'll have to remember for the future

The set is now done and up on the workshop, I was waiting for some 2d art for a loading screen but have ended up going with a render.

Hope you all like the set - http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=476919138

I've teamed up with a friend of mine and she's produced a concept for a courier that I'm working on.



Her work can be found here for anyone interested

GG - Best courier EVER! THAT CHIN!

Reminds me of the Disney Hercules

I've gone through and make a first draft



So far I've got two issues:

1. I'm not sure about the hair, but that might be due to...

2. Using the Marmoset Toolbox I'm not getting the results I'd expect in game form the Dota 2 shader, are there any known issues with this, or am I likely to be at fault?

Cheers for any help or feedback guys.

The hair looks really different from the concept, and doesn't fit the rest of the style imo. Looks a little sloppy too.

In my experience the marmoset dota 2 shader doesn't look exactly like the in-game shader. I use Marmoset only for promos and turntables. It gives an extra polished sheen. I suggest importing your model into the game if you want to preview it.

@SgtFrenzy: I'm afraid that it is a little bit too cartoony for the dota2 world. Recently the folks at Valve had declined one of my set due to its cartoony style, so while I really like the concept maybe you guys should do a bit re-design for this courier, as right now it might be a risk doing it with this style.

And just in case, I prefer the hairstyle on the concept better.

how do you know you get declined ? o.o
