OH shoot! Totally misread that, sorry about that man. As far as importing goes, I would be as clueless as the next guy. In the same way you have to go through some steps to get SFM to play nice with dota, I would imagine something down that pipeline might inform some choices to bring animations into maya?...maybe?
putting the guide together now the more time I spend on showing off this process, the more cheeky and arrogant I feel in claiming I'm replicating the Dota 2 style, but meh...worst case scenario it's still a technique people might like :P should be uploading a PDF within the air for your viewing pleasure, and then it's back…
This is looking great dude! One last thing that I think could really help this shine if you want to stylistically add a gradient from feet to head like this: https://polycount.com/discussion/101248/dota-2-art-guide-baking-a-gradient-mask Just to darken up those legss a bit more. It's your call though
I think the most important thing is that the normals, weather they are sculpted and baked or created with something like nDo, are appropriately simplified / exaggerated to match the visual style you're after. This guide also shows some interesting applications of baked maps to achieve a stylized look:…
I think the silhouette is generally good. I do however think the holes are a little too soft. I've provided a reference below (sorry i'm on dota atm, otherwise i'd highlight it out) You may want to add a little bit more attention around the holes, just so they aren't too soft! Otherwise great work :)
Well that's terrible news, there is absolutely no way around this? I can only open dota on my Macbook, so basically if what your saying is correct I just spent days learning how to model and now have no way to use my work haha. Or at least have to wait a while to upload. Not sure why I find that funny, 1 mouseclick away…
Yep, that's just something you have to deal with with all these Dota 2 models ^^ While it doesn't need to be perfect, having a clean sculpt is quite important. The sculpt is your starting point: You'll be making the lowpoly from it and bake from it. If step number 1 has issues, they're gonna carry trough the whole thing…

I posted my first attempt at drawing some Dota 2 item concepts recently. Now that I've gotten practice drawing with a tablet and had a look around other artists' work, I think I'm ready for the serious business. If you want me to sketch up something for you, or if you want one of the concepts in this thread, contact me…
Is anyone else having issues with the workshop right now? Sometimes when I select a hero and a slot, then click the geometry there is only a slot for textures, like the button for uploading geometry is just gone. Then on the few times when all the buttons are there my bindings and textures don't import properly, so the…
