Well. I would say you to look more on how Valve create their textures. Gold is not just bright yellow color. Actually gold has reflections and its color varies. Try to look on photo reference and top rated workshop items. Chen is good example what i mean - there are some golden elements in his armor. Look through his…
A little tip on how to optimize the eye a bit. You should connect the edges like the example below instead of collapsing the edges to one point. It will make it easier on the engine to read lighting information as well as reduce the number of tris. Example. 8 sided circle would have 8 tris if you just collapsed the edge.…
you guys added so much to the discussion, great to read that guys, i know everyone has something to complain, i too that i never got a word from valve on 3 couriers, that was like almost 3 months of work. its a lot of time "wasted" i said "wasted" because i want to get into a point all those works even not entering the…
Hello there My English is not pretty good.could you explained that issues I meant. Skinning items should be skinned to the referenced hero skeleton from his _model maya file. This is done in order for us to easily integrate and export the item file into our file structure additional bones can be added for the items as…
Your overall shape of wards don't match the ones in the game, your wards have very thick bases that thins out at the top (pyramid), all wards in the game are the opposite, with the bulk being where the eye is. There are plenty of "living" wards that don't break the silhouette as you like to call them, just because they're…
Hard to say without seeing your rig also. I'd say it's something like you have the rigged to 2 bones.. The wing bone and root bone for example. If it's 50/50 then they are being influenced too much by the root bone. (I don't know her rig so just an example). Was it an automatic rig or manual?
Great OpethRockr i was testing the turn slider on the alienswarm SDK and its exactly that. on the mirana char, apparently it have an animation called turns with all the states, in your example there is 3 smds for the 3 states. when exporting a smd is possible to define just a frame as a frame range? for example, i have my…
I have legal/financial question. Are there any issues with Valve paying to you after your item is accepted? My concern is on the following issue: For example you don't have any registered firm, company or something like "designer studio bla bla" d.o.o. or something like that. Your status is unemployed, student or you work…
that's true, mdl files will be in that directory after compile, but GUIStudioMDL have to throw it in alien swarm directory, since we use it for compiling... This was my first attempt to create source engine content. But I figured out the file structure... I looked over QC commands and file structures over valve wiki... You…
@Blaken - Cheers! and sounds like a solid plan you have there, looking forward to seeing where it goes. @zicoV - Thanks and i like the staff, you might be able to get away with only self illumination/full bright for the eye glow if the particle system doesn't cooperate. @Y_M - Nice shammy backpack! @SinAmos - Simple…
