Thanks for the kind words, really appreciated, but i think it's a bit weird anyway... The polycount chest came out a week after those sets, and in that week difference there wasn't any promo anyway...plus the thing didn't happen only to my set, but also to all the others in the same group...and i believe the Earthshaker…
Those numbers are very far off the actual number. I stopped using that site because it was so inaccurate, you get much better results emailing them and asking directly. But this is not a matter of numbers, rather that couriers are a sought after item, so sought after that people go out of their way to open chests to find…
@Spudnik It's pretty much the way Valve does stuff according to this PDF :D They paint everything on the color layer, then layer the AO/lights above it, and finally copy the color layer and paste it on top of the AO/lights on those blending modes to really make them pop. I did lots of experimenting with different ways to…
something finished http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=155246429 The myths and legends surrounding this peculiar hammer are numerous and strange.The most well known tale suggests that a long time ago a humble and honest blacksmith came to acquire a mightful and terrible magical ring. He did not want it's…
Pretty good work everyone :) Such high standards! @zaphk: Really love your texturing!

Finally, it has been a bumpy ride for all of us who worked on this set but we believe it turned out great. Lumberclaw set for Timbersaw comes with all items replacements, loading screen and custom particles for spells and chainsaw. Honestly I never thought it will be this daunting to make a set for Timbersaw. He is huge!…
Hi people... wow after a couple of days all this attention is unexpected :)! First off, thanks for the time to comment my model, I appreciate any critique and feedback since it can lead to improvements. On the other end I learned with time that you will never pleased everyone so the best you can do is please yourself and…
Concering Vlad and beetrootChan: I really can't find the Naga set online. Am I wrong in thinking Vlad never put it up in the first place? I don't know all the details of the situation, but I honestly can't find any set made by Vlad for Naga. Again, I don't know all the details, but I want to assume that there is just…
When some other folks and I visited Valve after TI3 we mentioned to the Dota team that it would be nice to have sets combined into one thumbnail or entry. I believe they said that the guys who designed the workshop system were working on other projects now. So, I don't see that coming any time soon. The workshop system is…
To get started on your particle systems you'll want to launch HL2 with the "-tools" launch condition. This will boot into tools mode. Go from the top menu Tools>Particle editor. If you're familiar with Maya dynamics most of these properties should be easy to understand. Create a new particle system, assign it a sprite…
