Sven, The Hoplite Hello everyone! I'm new to the forums and I wanted to get your feedback on my first project for Dota 2. I was thinking of a complete set for Sven based on the hoplite soldier of ancient Greece. Here are some concept ideas I sketched and inspiration (that I got from museums and the internet) I've had for…

Polycount's Hamish Bode had a chance to chat with Paul Pepera, master hard-surface high poly modeler and Lead Mission Artist for 343 Industries. Hamish Bode: How long have you been involved in the games industry and what's your current role? Paul Pepera: I have been modding games most of my life but I got my first…
In this documentation, I describe in-depth the Hatched Ink Shader for Unreal Engine. I aimed this shader specifically at Concept Artists, but I can also imagine a use for it on games or anything else. If you have somehow stumbled over this documentation without knowing about the shader, you can get it here:…
Hey! Decided to work on this again today :D I started working at 5:30PM. I'll start fixing what I listed above. I had a nasty crash about one hour in and lost a bunch of progress that I made on the hands. But you know the way it usually goes! When you have to do things two times, the second time is always quicker and…
Hello :) I have a few things to show this time around - bits and pieces of various parts of the project in their various stages. First up is the bogey (bogeys?). I have got a low poly out. Blender reports this as 35k tris, although I think the true number is about 64k, as blender doesn't report instanced geometry. UE5…

So going ahead and taking my own advice, I've started planning my pieces a lot more. Research Dota 2 Characters After finding a character that inspired me, I hpped in game with him, checked out his animations, spells and VO to get more of a feeling for him. From there I read his little paragraph of lore for more…
You're making the assumption that elasticity is important, but it is not because games are a one time purchase. You have a limited number of potential customers and they're all only going to buy the game once. Selling at a price lower than what a customer might have paid removes them from your potential market and you lose…
