I see general opinion is towards xNormal. But i will make normals with both xNormal and Zbrush multi map , You can compare for yourselves. i dont mean xNormal is bad, im just trying to see where i went wrong with harnessing its allegedly great power.
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…
Thanks everyone for the support as usual :) Yes i'm using it, but not at full power in every area cause i notice that otherwise it would "burn" the details. However in the first 2 screenshots taken in Marmoset, i didn't use the glow map cause it works in a different way than in-game, so i just lit it strongly on the blade…
Hey tvidotto, thanks for the link. Gave it a try this afternoon and it's very powerful for creating all those little details on high resolution textures in seconds. I don't think it'll be very useful for dota though because, like I said, "high resolution textures." I tried it on my OD set and nothing was visible in-game…
communist ? lol k ... The workshop doesnt provide publicity. 3rd party sites/people do. Anything getting u ppl to vote your item is publicity. Dota cinema kinda DID get 600.000 subs because it was one of the first youtube channels on dota 2. I cannot judge about their "Hardwork and Sweat and tears", but their videos about…
1: Yes, that's the resolution your textures will be rendered at. You can work in 512x1024 or even 1024x2048, just maintain the ratio and keep it a power of two. 2: LoD is the Level of Detail. It's the number of triangles allowed on your model. LoD0 is the higher of the two. This is what's used in profile pictures, and when…
OK, guess I can just default to what I know :D Oh yeah, my point above about this being a recycled model was that I had to scour the Hero's to find one that had a high enough poly count to crunch this thing into. And the most fitting I found was Rubick. With his robe style and magic powers it seemed pretty fitting even if…
Hi guys,today I started the concept for my new weapon,what do you think? (the head still need to be defined,I'll do that later in a separate concept) Also I think CM is left handed,so I have to mirror this :S --Isiliath's Frozen Command-- An ancient weapon belonged to the legendary sorceror Isiliath, who used it to bend…
After a month of work, BladeofAvilliva, Fudgie Wudgie, Slimeface, and I finally finished our Skywrath and Venge pair for CNY. Here's a high res turntable. http://gfycat.com/UnfitThreadbareGreatdane#?format=gif Unfortunately I couldn't get the transparency to work on the wings because of the way the textures are merged when…
The nature of the workshop allows individuals to do what they please. If a single person whats to spend the time to create an entire ensemble of items, they have all the power to do so, nor should they be penalized. All they are simply doing is raising the bar, and there is nothing wrong with that. Maybe we'll see the…
