not sure where this is from but some languages use the $ sign as a variable placeholder (e.g. perl, php, maxscript,..). Some programmers that had exposure to web or backend languages tend to use the $ syntax in other languages even when it is not mandatory. One of the design goals with Perl's variables for example was to…

Hey Polycount, Some of the Dota players here at Weta Workshop have been working on item submissions. Our first one had a mixed response, so we've gone back and worked on a redesign. Compared to the Team Fortress 2 items we did, Dota 2 has been more challenging in terms of nailing the look and feel. Any feedback or comments…
I posted this on Reddit but it got buried in posts about 6.86 and what Icefrog may or maybe not have Weibo'd so I'll post it here as I'd like some thoughts on the idea. Here is a suggestion to changing the workshop model completely. What if the workshop was changed to slightly echo the Kickstarter model. Instead of backing…
Hey there, I was just screwing around on a design - https://drive.google.com/file/d/1dZdBLVXtUwml0oeVk1iFJHDWwygD3d_V/view?usp=sharing On the side panels layer, things started to become very sluggish. even beveling the edge of cube is painfully slow. What specifically is slowing down this mesh item? It has 45k polygons,…
Go on ebay, search for the item, click on "completed listings" and click on "used". This will show you the going rate for it on eBay, and should be a pretty good gauge of general value. Green prices means the item sold, red prices means the item did not sell. You will need to be signed in to ebay to do this.
first of all hello to everyone, I just joined the forums after seeing this tread. I'm also new to 3D modelling (I literally knew nothing 1-2 months ago) and I think I just got a bit of everything by watching tutorials and stuff like that. Don't scare off the poor guy by saying he's in over he's head, it's not THAT hard at…
I don't know Blender, but in Max you have to export both the item and the bone used with the item, as one. Also, sometimes whatever you place doesn't necessarily work with the assigned bone, but where another might do better - in your case - perhaps the one of the head bones. As long as there isn't clipping and as long as…

Congrats on everyone that got any items ingame, btw really love and want the windrunner set from you anuxi :)
Hi I'm trying to publish one of my DOTA2 items so I can see a preview of how it looks in game before publishing it etc and everything seems to be importing fine and then this message appears at the end causing the import to fail. CTargetMDL::Compile Failed - c:\program files\steam\steamapps\common\dota 2…
