    Improviz and i collaborated on this one. Made some custom particles for it but i cant get the it to stick with the default attachmentpoint. It just clings to the root for some reason when i try to preview it in the test build. Working on some more concepts that could make this theme a set.

    Wait. I knew it wasn't for sure but you are now making a confirmation.

    Why would Valve not add any single items anymore, just because they did 3 chests with complete sets? I think Valve would be stupid not to add single items, but than again you never know what they will do....

    If they won't add single items anymore it's game over for me and why would we still do a Monthly competition with single items than!

    Maybe my post wasn't clear. I meant that myself I was not sure what are Valve future plans for single items but it seems that from zips post that they are still going to release single items. He made it seem that he is very sure about it .

    I don't have any inside information. It just seems really unlikely to me that they'd stop putting in single items since they've been there from the beginning. The chests full of sets will definitely continue since they apparently sell well but I'd assume that's alongside single chests.

    I think they should do singles and set chests as well. Doing this they could easily keep single keys the 2.50, but could make set chest keys 3.99 or something. I feel this would add a different level of value to both the single and set chests.

    Awesome stuff dudes!
    I've been wanting to do dota stuff for a while, I finally got around to making something with a coworker. He did the concept and the marketing stuff, I did the 3d/textures.

    Some progress on Abaddon set which was concepted by Foxclover. Getting almost done basically. Any crits are welcome. (excuse the scarce amount of screens, one, since I am tired atm).

    9lRWZKc.jpg

    Things to do:
    - Clean up skinning.
    - Some minor, and unnoticable, uv tweaks.
    - Another pass on textures.
    - Small tweaks to masks, especially blade and shoulders.
    - Some value and color tweaks.

    Let me know if you have any suggestions or feel free to tell me what you think.

    Looks great. Too bad Valve probably won't accept solo items anymore :c

    @Kraken IF you work the internal part with geo for the Lod0 and want to keep the lod1 without its totally fine. Think like that, lod0 is just the dota camera, there is no way to see the internal part, maybe just a little bit but that is not a problem, the lod 0 is used on the inspector mode, where people like to find the weirdest angles possible =]

    @Bladeshot - Any source for that? Not trying to be those annoying guys on reddit asking for source but if you are based on the last time they added single items we can also say that Valve does not accept courier anymore since they are not adding them for months

    Has anyone else had trouble with the particle effects? I load them into the importer and it changes nothing. The first attempt I did worked, but now every time I alter the verts it ignores it and stays with the first one. I'm exporting as fbx if it makes any difference.

    -edit-

    i figured it out. i had to completely restart dota to test any changes.

    I'm currently working on a courier for the first time and I have a couple questions about where I'm at in the process if anyone would be kind enough to share some wisdom...

    So I just did all my bakes and I'll be texturing very shortly, but out of curiosity and the need to look ahead I checked out the import courier section of the in-game importer. I noticed that you upload a model for both the flying and the ground states of the courier and that they use the same texture. I am not familiar with rigging at all so it is something I'll need to get acquainted with very shortly. My questions at this point are as follows:

    1) Do these models need to be rigged with all required bones before they can be imported?
    2) For the separate flying and ground versions, do I need to bend/modify the model(bend it in specific spots to set the "standard" look/form for that state)? Or bend/modify the riggings?
    2) At what point are animations uploaded? Is it the step after I import the model and so I'm just not seeing it yet?
    3) Do animations need to be completed before I can preview the model in-game?

    I'm sure I have more questions but this is all I can think of at the moment. Thanks very much in advance!

    1 & 4:

    You need some kind of animation to import the model, but you can just export a rest pose and use it for all the required ones.

    2:

    Not sure what do you mean with bend, but you'll need to have one skeleton for each model, so you'll do the flying/ground rigging as if in two unrelated models.

    3:

    There's a second instance of the window for each form (ground & flying) where the animations and bones for effects are, you need to set those too in order to import.

    Hope it helps.

    1) Not really, you can rig the whole mesh to single bone and it will work
    2) Not sure what you mean, but in the flying model you generally need to animate it in the same spot of the ground one, but keep in mind that game will move it upwards 160 units. So in the death animation you need to make it dying and falling bellow the ground. Helenek made some ref to help with that here.
    3) Need to click the arrows on the bottom of the submission to view the animation tabs. http://i.imgur.com/0daaekO.jpg
    4) not really you can fill the slots with a single dummy animation file.

    changing the name should work, but if you are testing in game that one you need to at least disconnect and ask the compiler to load the map again

    I think you got all the answers already, but i would like to suggest that can test your silhouette before doing the lowpoly, i normally get my highpoly, reduce it on maya or on zbrush and add to the game.
    Sometimes i add a model with 10 or 20k triangles but that to work you need to compile your model manually

    Thanks for all the answers!! Quite useful knowledge all around for someone who has never attempted anything more than simple weapons/armor... I guess I should explain what I meant in question 2.
    What I'm talking about is what makes the ground and flying versions different, namely the pose that the courier's body is in. I designed the courier so that in its most relaxed position(its idle pose) it is close to how it looks while flying... so the flying pose is already sort of made. Now I need to make the ground pose for the ground model upload. Do I modify the model itself to make the ground/crawling pose or do I rig a skeleton/bones inside the model and bend those to create the ground model? I hope that explains it better. I guess what I'm asking is what exactly is the method of morphing one state of the courier to another for the two uploads? What needs to be done?

    Hmmm... Isnt the high poly enough to test the silhouette? Normally when I want to test an item before making a low poly I just chunk out/delete big parts of the high poly to save as a temporary low poly and then I only view the high poly in the importer screen to see how it looks.

    This is probably my favorite set for QoP. Love the overall theme of it, very original! Every single piece is really well put together and the whole package looks incredibly stunning. Can't wait to see DanJohnCox bringing this to life, and I'm sure he's going to an awesome job at it!

    So, pretty much finished that Puck set I'm making with Arty, just some promo materials left now! We're hopefully submitting it next week. Here's a still from a little turntable I'm making:

    Treat them as two separate models, as they are, the geometry and skeleton from the flying and ground versions are completely independent of each other.

    So for the ground version, make a skeleton/geometry of its own.

    1mnENWM.png

    You need to model the back face. No double sided materials. The files you downloaded from the workshop technical page are single sided. But if you decompile the actual mdl of windrunner's cape, it will have both sides included.

    It is a horrible poly limit of 250 for both cape and scarf imo.

    Oh, the ground and flying models/rigs are completely separate and the transition between them its instant. The only thing they share its the texture files.

    ok so I used the reload_fullbodyportraitdata command and his face animates again ingame
    but in the importer ingame test the flexes break and he only moves his eyes but won't open his mouth
    the hairs flexes work fine but I still can't see if they match up at all.
    this is really weird.

    Thanks guys! Been working on this and I've been pretty successful so far, but I have a follow up question:
    What about parts of the model that are only present during one mode/state or the other? For example if your courier grows wings to fly? Does the ground model have these wings/parts hidden away somewhere or can I just delete them from the ground model all together?

    The defaults are at 1024 for quality purposes,you can submit your textures as 1024*1024 and the engine will resize them automaticly at 256*256.
