Don't know about those games, but my understanding is that it wasn't violence they were worried about as much as removing "symbols of death" or things that would make people "think about death." They have a precedent of if they have a problem, they simply ban that problem from being portrayed in the media so their people…
So now that Rubick is officially in the workshop I decided to revisit the first 3d model I ever made :) This time as a full set, hopefully this time around I'll be able to make better textures. Here's the workshop link to the original Here's what I managed to block out so far, I figured I should get some feedback before I…
Hey Guys, quick question about the workshop. So I uploaded my courier 4 days ago, with the idea that I would wait out the workshop black out and finalize percentages thus "finalizing" the process once everything was running smoothly and this would start the "number of days in workshop" counter. Today when I submitted…
I agree with you, wholeheartedly. While I completely understand Valve has every "right" not to pay us for Unusual couriers, it doesn't change the fact that it's a very short-sighted move on their part. People who get a single, common item that took a few hours to make in a chest can make a LOT more money than someone who…
Right, but the problem is that new head slot "items" could clip horribly through the hood no matter how I rig it, and it clips too much through the default cloak to go in the head slot instead. I guess it all depends on how important it is to valve that certain cosmetic items can clip through other cosmetic items. I know…
After the Dota2 Polycount contest I had some extra concepts lying around which I hoped to some day make in the future. SoJa has offered to collaborate with the modeling aspect of one of these sets, which is really awesome! Now that I think about it, I really should have collaborated for the contest instead of spend so much…
Andrew is right, couriers were expected to be the highest grossing items because we all assumed they would pay out the chest shares since they require the most work to create. We were wrong, and we've quickly found that courier payouts are way behind items that take a _LOT_ less work to create. The icing on the cake to…
I can answer that. Brandon asked if I was interested in doing any single items. I said;" I dunno I like doing sets." He said it would be cool if you did enough items for a chest. I was like; "ehhh I dunno." A month later I was like, "Hey I'm gonna do between 10-14 items, do you think that's enough?" He said something like…
When did i used the concepts without permision? You may want to check your facts first. Man, i wish. So what are you trying to say? That it takes no fantasy to turn 30x100 icon into a whole model? Or are you against reinforcing the artstyle valve created by using their own concepts in a natural way? Oh wait, what am i…
Thanks! i actually tried something new and rendered it in zbrush, it gives bunch of nice masks and you can bake the lighting and materials and on and on. Might as well share the wisdom. First of all, you import the hero model you decompiled/got in the archive. Then you import/merge your items and they should stick if you…
