Not how dota works unfortunately. It seems, with Dota alpha channels, it's all or nothing, I figured most people knew that? I don't think there's many contributors who actually want crystals and gems and other bits to be opaque. It's also the reason why there's very few items ingame that utilize partial transparency,…
@Andyk125 I have always resized my textures manually because I was affraid that they will get ugly when automatically resized in game. If you say that DOTA2 resizing works fine, than I need to try it. Other benefit of that would be having original texture size images send in zip file to workshop. Anyway as I am looking at…
Working on an item set for Crystal Maiden, I've been throwing a few different ideas around but this is my favorite so far. I showed it to a friend of mine (Dota enthusiast) and he said the outfit needed more pizzaz, so I was wondering if I should scrap the whole idea and go for something more diverse. I wanted to create an…
I like Redditors, they have strong sense of integrity. This does raise an interesting question though, with the recent addition of the ixmike crystal maiden set and drow ranger set, why can't we see the reimplementation of the old cowboy Ursa set? I personally don't feel it feels as out of place on the store as it did way…
Welcome! Love the Invoker helm btw. I thought that it looked a little too dark relative to the rest of his clothing, but in day time it looks about right. @Prosomogy - The sculpt's pretty good, but I feel the textures are a missed opportunity. The yellow and orange bits don't look at all like they're glowing lava, and…
I think you could work on your material definition a bit more too, everything is reading a bit too "Blobby" at this point. Harden up the edges on the stone and crystal segments. The ribbons or bands look rushed. Take some time to define the way the material looks. For example those top 2 bands in the concept are obviously…
The Crystal Maiden concept I'm working on (I posted it a few pages ago but I don't know if anyone saw it) I made some changes to the design. Her arm pieces are no longer completely fur, but rather a sleeve with fur on the top instead, I think it adds more diversity to the piece. I also settled on a cape design, out of the…
Zaphk -- Argh, I'm in love, can't wait to see the finished product :D Neox -- I really really want that Omniknight hammer..!! Big congrats to those who got their sets in this week! However... I've been working on my own CM set today and with the original model and textures fresh in my mind, I noticed that it kind of looks…
Can't agree enough with you bounch. At this point I don't even care about not getting my stuff in, but when there's crystal clear favoritism going on it's just incredibly frustrating. Again and again we see that Valve clearly favors the big names, even when there are items with equal or on lots of cases even greater…
but skeleton king is two sided? drows cape for example is not, it have poligons just in one side and looking at the front of the character it become invisible as my dragon flip oven when it dies i needed to make it two sided, and the 2 sides are too near each other, thats why the green pass trough if you get the crystal…
