Dota 2 import help needed... "import successful" but item isnt there!

MRBON3Z · Nov 2012

Hi there

Ive recently started making items for dota 2 and im making a set for pudge. Of the two items ive made (head and weapon slot) both show up invisible in the dota 2 workshop preview.

im using 3ds max 2012 and I am exporting as FBX

ive tried:
-exporting as obj and re-importing
-Xform reset

maybe im doing those wrong..?

Is there any definitive guide out there that tells me exactly how to import items successfully to the dota2 workshop and all the steps i need to take in 3ds max aswell?

Nothing? nobody can shine a light on my problem?

Pudge uses alpha, doesn't he? Could be it's automatically filling in the alpha channel with 0 (black) if you're not specifying one in your texture that's filled with white...

If you are not using one of the mask levels and have left it all black that can effect it as it says in the design document that at least one pixle must be white in order for the mask texture to work correctly. Hopefully this helps if not then I'm not suer I'm affraid. I'm having a few issues with my items myself lol

I imported my models successfully but the items turn invisible when I start a preview match. They show in the Workshop preview but in the Preview match they turn invisible?
