well Valve didn't asked to copy chinese clothes they asked to not mix different cultural elements. also since New Bloom isn't one-time event i'd like to hear from Valve lore-wise explanation how China is related to dota. is it magically exist in both our and dota-world?
@vikk0 Looks awesome!! Only minor crit not connected with set/sculpt. Some elements and details are to perpendicular to surface and adding bevel/trim could help to transfer details better to normalmap. Something like this: http://www.polycount.com/forum/showpost.php?p=1702826&postcount=2 Aside from that I am in love with…
Made couple of changes after hearing C&C from other workshop artists. Here's a V2 of my rose and macabre-inspired Queen of Pain set. I have to say that the wings are my favorite part of her. Isn't it fun playing around with materials and design elements? DanJohnCox will be in charge of modelling this baby, so I'm super…
I like that valve is making a yearly event for hatters. :D The rules are incredibly strict though, can't even mix elements of the same culture together if it isn't accurate. mm. Disney didn't follow these rules in Mulan ("you have the original legend taking place in the Wei Dynasty, the Huns as an actual threat during the…
Thanks for the feedback. It was a conscious decision to add smaller elements and contrast them against larger ones - not saying that it was a good decision - I probably agree with you more. Here is an in game screen capture: Can someone direct me to a link or tutorial showing how to make those animated gifs. Also, maybe…
I think they want all sorts of cultural elements its just not year of the dragon :) What gets me most confused is this forbid to mix cloths of children and adults, warriors and peasants, low and high class. For people outside from China its impossible to even know we are mixing things up. I could really use some examples…
Hey! Been a while since I posted any of my work. So here is my current project. A Tiny tree of a concept by Madshock. I feel I am halfway through the sculpt and it is still missing one element. Not sure how the UV space and tris limits will be but I guess that will be the fun part! Crits are rare these days so don't hold…
I really like the one that sticks to the color scheme of Sven. I think the full gold feels a bit unfitting for him, it might pop way to much. I think if you were to play off the idea of it changing when you equip a black king bar, think about adding a particle element emmiting from the eyes, similar to the Vanguard for…
@Agito666 I like this design!!! Hair is fabulous. Does this material on her chest will be neck slot? If you plan to add it to arms slot than it will intersect with some other designs: http://dota2.gamepedia.com/Epaulettes_of_the_Scorching_Princess http://dota2.gamepedia.com/Pauldrons_of_the_Battle_Caster Also material will…
Been doing a real rough 3D mock up based off another concept I made. Also, the texture in these images is purely just the diffuse for Bounty's body that I was using as reference in Zbrush. It was nice to easily throw elements together in 3D and see how well they worked or didn't. I tried to keep the spikes on his armor…
