Hey everyone! We're Them Games, a French game studio. Since we too play way too much DOTA 2 and we're game designers, we thought "Let's create new heroes as a game design exercise" as when we used to try to sneak a mail to Icefrog after giving up on trying to use the War3 editor (this thing was such a mess ) So before…
I don't know how much of a market there is for it but I'd love to see some more stuff for hand painted/diffuse textures like what Tyson Murphy did. His video is great but lately I've been seeing quite a few people use ZBrush to create high resolution models and then bake the AO, cavity, and sometimes color into a diffuse…
$600 for a pc to pay most new games on high settings is a pretty low entry barrier. Most people are already spending $400 for a pc every 5 years. I'd argue there is more unique experiences for the pc, and hardware innovation is not reliant on the platform. I'm sure the PC crowd is going to embrace the oculus rift just as…
Dude, all this stuff is badass! You have a great variety of stuff here and I'm really enjoying your spaceship/vehicle stuff. I would suggest you check out the style guide for the Dota characters: http://media.steampowered.com/apps/dota2/workshop/Dota2CharacterArtGuide.pdf It's a very different texturing style of course,…
"Cinematic" games to me are just kind of another sub-genre that adds to the mixing pool of types of games. I do not have a problem with them. "Cinematic" was never defined by Jim Sterling or yourself, so what is a "cinematic" game? Something that has 30 fps, letter boxing, and lens flares? A game that has minimal game play…
Sure, but aren't the heroes killing each other in every match ? Is "double kill" dubbed differently there ? Are gamers buying dota2 items in China as sensitive about this as the "traditional word" says they are ? While it is great to pay attention to the symbolism of colors, I don't think it should totally lock us out of…
Make the AO darker, but also less dense. Don't go overboard on AO, I feel like subtlety is key in these situations! As for your model, I'll provide a few crits :) - Very clean. No shadows. No variation in colour of the cloth. Look at your reference. The jeans and singlet are both a bit dirty, so there's a mix of colours to…
Hey folks! I lately got inspired by this thread. Since dota2 brought me to the model buisness, its just fair to give something back. 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.…
Hello there polycount fellas ! I'm kinda new around here, have been registered since dota2 contest but have only lurked since then. After seeing so much good work being done around here I eventually decided to step up and start sharing my own stuff. Or more like sharing what I will do from now on :) I did a presentation…
