Hello Everyone, I'm currently a graduate student learning 3D modelling and game design and after being inspired by the open nature of this forum and workshop I've decided to start using what spare time I have to make custom items for Dota2. Hopefully this will help me learn the modelling tools faster as well as adding some…

Hi every one I am trying to get my Items into the DOTA2 Engine and I am getting several different issues but I dont know why as all the models are compiled in the same way they have no history and are each skinned to the correct bone. (Please note the names might not be 100% as Im doing this from memory atm) Rifle…
Hello Everyone, I've been working on a peach blossom brooch for Enchantress as part of Dota's upcoming Year of the Horse event. I've gotten the model and the texture where I want it, but I wanted to upload it into Dota2 to check the shaders. That's where I started to run into problems. At one point, I had the model load…

I realized that it is very helpfull to make real lowpoly models to keep the shape in mind and to really work out the points of interest. It doesent matter waht the sculpt looks like.…
Thank you so much for answer NoiseCrime, you have right. Problem is blending where brush is too much soft and edges are as you say too much blurred or faded. I work on Dota2 workshop item, and I have all maps in 4k and resample down with bilinear to 512 for Antialising. And when I have on map too much colors, sometimes can…
The only active part I take in balancing is just to make sure I do the 40 hours a week at work and only do extra if it's absolutely critical. Otherwise, I find that I spend my time constructively without thinking about it. As slipsius said, if you want to do something, you make time for it. If I have a project, I will…
Suba: Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it. ZacD: Good suggestions. I didn't want to get too into specifics like webhosting since that changes a lot. But you're right though. I did answer questions like that after the talk though. Btw bluehost member for 10+ years here. Can't recommend them enough. As far as video files I would ask…
Never rage quit because a game is a game. I do however get royally nicked off in DOTA2 when my team-mates don't even try playing the game as a team and start shit talking the other team when we start losing, here are some prime example: "Choose more noob team, please" - When the other teams has Drow or Sniper.
