In my opinion its best to look at Valve's comments on Polycount winner entries on their blog. Also you can look at items accepted lately and try to guess what made them successful. For me making items for DOTA is something that I am doing for fun, because I always wanted to have something I created inside game like this.…
Hawf made it clear he did not want anyone to create his concepts without permission. You might have asked him, and he probably didn't respond, but that still doesn't give you the right to act in the way that you did. With that being said, the fact that you took his concept and just did it anyway shows you have no respect…
How new is that?, I didn't even know that existed until today. I am very happy with that addition, it's been a long time coming. "small resource dedicated to the workshop" is an excuse, and not a very good one. Considering the workshop drives the majority of the games sales and earnings, you would think valve would treat…
Based off the numbers I've been getting for the last four months, I disagree, The one item (Molten Genesis) I had in the chest in January has earned more than I've made with the cluckles and navi courier combined. And thats before the revenue sharing, and the readdition of the January key back to the store. That's one…
Did I miss something? Was there new single person chest scoped somewhere in the files? Also if that were to happen I would not treat this in category of good or bad. They are definitely experimenting a lot lately with new types of chests/bundles etc. Summers said that there were only 2 chests added in last 2 months. All of…
Ace-Angel I read most, if not all threads about normalmaps here and there. Most important is of course to know what are you doing. You are right that one should not modify geometry after baking, but the reason is that he can change UVs or Vertex normals accidentally. If those two factors stay the same as before bake, which…
I've been away for the last couple of days and I'm really glad people are angry with Valve's direction of sales and shares (lol). I said a few words about how working on chest items are more lucrative but some said the important part is to follow your heart and do what you like etc. I'm pretty sure the trend on the single…
Hey guys, I contacted Robin Walker about the Movember collection, and brought up Boonta's suggestion about adding a cancer charity. He wrote: If you'd like to do work to benefit a charity you support, we encourage you to reach out to that charity, get them to set up a Steam account, and add them as a contributor on any…
the turns are not working... here is my .qc // Below is the definition of the turn layer.// First we start by creating 3 poses// The 3 "animations" (center, left, right) are actually just single frame poses. Center is usually the 0 frame of the run animation, left and right are poses based on the 'center' frame to give the…
We have just started to add support for effects as economy items and support for them in general on existing items. There are a number of additional things we'd like to add to this basic level of effect customization for items in addition to full blown effect authoring as time goes on. This should ramp up quickly, but…
