Dota 2 Polycount Contest Winners - Day 3
Right on schedule *record scratch* Valve has released the Day 3 Winners for the Dota 2 Polycount Contest -- this time announcing four winners instead of three. We now know 10 of the 11 contest winners, with tomorrow bringing the announcement of the Grand Winner! * bugball's 'Eleven Curses' for Doom Bringer * PoPcorn's… -
Re: Dota 2 Polycount Contest Winners - Day 3
I gotta agree, I'm a bit surprised about those picks. Don't get me wrong, all of these sets are fucking amazing and deserve to be in the game asap, but as somebody mentioned, there's only one more winner slot left and so many awesome sets that just won't win at all. Personally I would have expected to have the Rider of the… -
Re: Dota 2 Polycount Contest Winners - Day 3
Gratz to the winners! I think they're fantastic selections. As for the winners, something that's really hard to guage is how these sets look and work in the game while interacting with the other characters, spells, animation and collision etc. There isn't a simple 1-solution fits all type scenario. Until you can play the… -

Oooweee... sounds like a little bit of sour grapes in the first few posts there. I'm throwing my hat in for the Grand winner tomorrow. Either Phantom Lancer/Ancestor's Pride or Lone Druid/Vicous Krait. I know Rider of the Storm is right up there but i wanted to go with submissions that were a little less obvious. Can't… -

Re: Dota 2 Polycount Contest Winners - Day 3
Congrats, but wtf...valve has some poor taste. These sets are well done, but my god were there some far more "epic" sets. Very lame ending to a really awesome contest imo. (Not bashing the winners at all, they did a good job) But there is good and then there is amazing...only about 5 of the winners hit the amazing mark. -
Re: Dota 2 Polycount Contest Winners - Day 3
congratz to todays winners, awesome sets! and to join in on the discussion, detail and readability is probably the problem with the epic sets, to look kicking ass awesome in their presentation bc it's up close with high res textures, but for Valve it's probably more important how they read in action! anyway, only grand… -
Re: Dota 2 Polycount Contest Winners - Day 3
I must say though there is something to be said for posting in game shots of your sets. There are some great sets but there is so much photoshop work done in the marketing images that everyone should know they wont look that way in game. I wish it had been a requirement to get shots in game of the full set. Sets that look…
