Yup! If you're looking at a priced sculpting tool that's easy to pick up you can take a look at Mudbox. It does texture painting in 3d as well, so that's handy for Dota 2 items. The other thing you'll want to check is that Rhino is able to open the fbx files available from Valve's Dota 2 Hero Requirements page. Does Rhino…
As for compiling into the game, I have a basic understanding of how that works back when I first made items for TF2. But does anyone have a nice guide online somewhere that can tell me how to preview it in game? I was also wondering if it's possible to preview a taunt for a hero that doesn't have one in game already that…
I'd expect some wrinkles in the floor rug, especially where the dolly has been rolled onto the rug. The curtains above the sink feel too insubstantial, more like plastic shower curtains than something you'd find in a kitchen. The seams between the wall planks look rather wide; do you have a reference photo? The cast iron…
Yeah. Literally only sounds good for modelling and texturing dota items. Even if it were more expensive I'd be all over a modo edition with just model/uv (and maybe some sculpt stuff) with no script or export restrictions/limitations. Or maybe in the future programs could be made in a modular format where you pay for the…
yes I have a postcard with these little clay thingies on. I don't think it is seen as sacrilidge, same as us digging up ancient burial sites from the egyptian, inuit and celt peoples. We are just having an explore! Interesting thing in animal crossing just as you can dig things up, you can also bury things - with very…
there should be no links posted to pirated stuff on polycount. I'm not stupid enough to think that this doesn't goes on, but this site cannot endorse it in anyway shape or form including turning a blind eye. I also realize the legal status of this particular item is questionable, but I'm going to come down on the side of…
Thanks everyone! The company is Visualize Inc, www.visual-ii.com They have a gallery of some of the items they've done already. Not sure how much I can say about the work that I'll be doing cause I'll have to sign a NDA, which I was expecting. I'm about 2 and 1/2 hours from Champaign, I live like 5 min from Ohare, and the…
Zdent, cnet, PCmag etc.. All great places to read various reviews about products.. I always do prior research before making a purchase.. The last item I happened to buy was a Sony mini DVD camcorder.. Excellent piece of electronic with a touch activated viewscreen, all sorts of special effect wipes and fades, Dolby 5.1…
Thank you, I will do some searching for a good portfolio host everyone (unless you have suggestions). Good point about the drawn layouts also g0th. One of the shortcomings I am seeing is that I have focused on taking pretty pictures and not showing the layouts of the levels with item and enemy placement etc. Do you agree?…
[ QUOTE ] There is one confusing point, in "Graphics is a process" where he says to say "I like it", and then two items later he disses that phrase as an excuse. What does that mean? [/ QUOTE ] Someone already answered but I wanted to chip in that I concur - I took the excuses as things you would say to someone if they…
