Man, you have no idea what you're talking about. For the last few days you've been on a tear giving terrible advice, and now this tirade against presentation. You should stop posting and just listen... Your ideals about presentation are unrealistic and pointless. Everyone generally provides in-game shots anyway, so maybe…
In a perfect world: Not that I should say this and I love Valve but blame them for not having some kind of previewing option:poly136:. The screen they allow us to have now to see the items is so small we have no choice but to make bigger renders. Also you can view the characters running around in the world a lot closer…
Im trying to put together my portfolio and Im hoping to use a few things from my doto thread since I spend so much time just thinking of ideas. I was just wondering if anyone else has put their concept art in their portfolios and how they structured it? I mean this stuff is drawovers and Im wondering how well people react…
I want to bring up another subject; I think this is a good time to talk about Valve's choices on sets, chests etc. I personally think they are going in the wrong direction if they want to add more sets to the game. I'm not 100% sure but single items must be more profitable than making sets, we have many contributors here…
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…
Ok ladies and gentlemen, I'm going to turn the serious meter up to eleven. Over the last month or so I've been talking with valve about the revenue distribution of items in the chest. We've discussed this in the past, but I wanted to dive into the courier side of things seeing as I focus more on couriers than any other…
@Paskie - That's awesome. I checked it out and that's definitely the case. Have you tried to import your Pugna weapon yet using a modified itemtest_qc_template?[EDIT] Huh, seems like any weapon you import with ogre_magi has his fire particle effect, whether or not you want it. @Bronto - I remember seeing something awesome…
I've been away for the last couple of days and I'm really glad people are angry with Valve's direction of sales and shares (lol). I said a few words about how working on chest items are more lucrative but some said the important part is to follow your heart and do what you like etc. I'm pretty sure the trend on the single…
@Eddy Shin: if you're talking about the default particle that Jugg has on his blade (like the default particle that AM has on his weapons) then you need to create a new mesh for the particles. You can read about that here. I think the particles on Jugg can be used similar to AM's, since many of Jugg's weapons have the…
This exact attitude is the reason enough. Why would i want you going around and trying to drop some sick burns on me for whatever reason? That's a bit "unprofessional" don't you think? Unlike the rest of the good polycounters who don't provoke heating up the discussion and talk about the stuff we're all here you don't…
