katar and jutte
definitively ditching jutte
was going to be angry khopesh, then realized he basically already has one
i'll square an angry looking one off ; that should work
btw ( just got sdk stuff working today ) is there any way to preview items in game, or are mods not supported? flipped through the thread but didn't see mention
edit - shit! i'm pageking!

Man that looks absolutely beautiful, are you gonna make any normal maps for it? If not, add Sparkwire on steam, he'll make some for you.
Addressed the bracers and the shield today.

Hmmmh... Anyone got Phantom Assassin decompiled? The model pack by theCommie doesnt include her
and I cant decompile her myself while others work fine...
-
BloodYScar, I went back to check my pack and sure enough - in my haste to upload and being somewhat delirious after so much monotonous decompiling, I forgot to zip about half the hero models!
*UPDATED LINK*
Should include every hero now (The only exclusion is Puck, which StudioCompiler absolutely refused to decompile without crashing.) - I suggest for anyone else to re-download as well.
-
I thought I was the only one missing some heroes :v
-
Thanks, appreciate it Commie!
My very first try at actually drawing something with a tablet, what do you guys think? Tits are kinda fucked up
-
-
After snipering all pages I noticed a distinct lack of Silencer items.
-
I had plans for one, haven't made it yet
-

it wasn't that great
also I forgot how annoying it is to texture blood
-
This is very nice.

Question: are you gonna add stuff to the chestplate? It's the only thing looking bland, the rest of the set is amazing
-
Nevermind, they got it fixed.it wasn't that great
also I forgot how annoying it is to texture blood
Perhaps make the blood you know...a little more blood colored?
-
You have the right idea.
-
Some stuff for Chaos Knight
The shield was an obvious idea.
-
Thanks a lot! I wasn't planning on adding to the chest, 'cause the chestplate is the standard Dragonknight texture. It just isn't doing all the fancy crap that they do in-game.
As far as normal maps go, I'm makin' 'em now :) I was trying some new things, and am now regretting it. Oh well, doesn't reaaaally matter. Never making them this way again.
-
I had no idea Bounty even had a mouth under his drape, I learnt something today. So they lipsynched the original model in the hope someone would make a maskless version?it wasn't that great
also I forgot how annoying it is to texture blood
Now that looks awesome. Whats the polycount?
With Chaos Knight I am looking forward to whoever can do a matching helmet replacement for both him and his horse.Some stuff for Chaos Knight

-
Just some drawn-on chest thing.
-
I've been drawing some concepts for a large chaos knight set. May post some tomorrow
-
yay or nay on the turban
maybe some hanging jewelry or whatnot
-
Maybe a bandana not unlike the one he wears around his mouth, instead over his head?
-
+
You know someone's gonna make it.
-
Whew, finally baked out all the maps! Will start texturing tomorrow.
Learned a painful lesson in building to Dota 2 specs: cylinders and spheres chew up the tiny poly budget like crazy, and look bad at low subdivisions.
Had to sacrifice some of the cuffs' profile as a result. =\
-
They're going to be so small in-game, I might not've even bothered with modelling out the spheres and left it all to the normal map. Hell, it's what I did with the tegu.Whew, finally baked out all the maps! Will start texturing tomorrow.

I'm not really happy with how my impression of chen/zeus is going so I might try something different.
-
Not enough Windrunner items being made. I should really start making them.
-
-
Thanks! The shield is 212 tris.
-
I still think someone should make a turban for shadow shaman, and in the front, it'd have either a small version of those planks he has, or a yellow cobra
-
Hey, if you have some time I think you ought to make the pattern stand out more, it might not appear very well in portrait or in-game.
Pretty much happy with the helm. Now to finish the rest of the set.
-
what do you think?!
-
Maybe if it was a closed-face helm? That way you could so fire and smoke coming out of the openings. Would be neat.
what do you think?!
And maybe something for horns or bat wings or something on the helmet. It looks odd cause it makes you see how tiny his head is, when before he had the cool horns.
-
Out of interest, when I submit an item does it need to be skinned to the rig and animated or do valve sort that stuff out themselves? Can I submit a model that is just a hat model, for example, and assume somebody is going to figure out that it belongs atop the heroes head?
-
So far no one has given a clear answer. Since Valve hasn't released any SDK tools, its impossible to preview rigged sub-models without the CS:GO model viewer.
If anything, TF2 has proven just how inattentive people at Valve can get with models, rigging and texture issues and all.
Your best bet is to indicate to the best of your ability (pictures, private developer workshop comments, prototype rigging if you think you know how it will turn out, WORDS, etc.) where and how the items are supposed to fit. Anything to make it as easy to understand, test, and rework the least amount as possible.
-
You sound like a Yu-Gi-Oh character, from the old show
I can't believe that's what came to mind
-
Alien Swarm SDK.

So after finding this discussion thread, It doesn't look like I can make a full item set for Enchantress:
http://steamcommunity.com/workshop/d...644/?appid=570
The maximum tri counts budget for hero+items being LOD0 7,000 and LOD1 3,000.
Enchantress' LOD0 model alone is 6,600 Polys! Enchantress + my Helmet barely scratches the budget at 6,920 polys. To even attempt to make anything else would just pile on more polys on the budget. I guess i could try to make really, really, optimized models but that would be a challenge in itself. And that polycount isn't including the spear whose LOD0 is 1,140 polys? So that plus the original Enchantress model exceeds the 7,000 poly budget. Huh?
Here's hoping Valve gets a SDK/Documentation out to iron out all these concerns.
-
It's hard to say, OmniKnight's default set is over the 7k and 3k limits, and even more so if you include the wings. If the 'combiner' won't work if models exceed these limits, then how do the default ones work?
Foe saysSo maybe as long as the texture limit isn't breached, the tri count can go over.
It feels like Valve is hinting that cosmetic items should replace items that the characters already have on them, so instead of making a new piece of armour to go on OmniKnight, you'd be making something like a bracer which will completely replace the bracer he's already wearing. It feels limiting though, will have to see what happens.

I'm Trying to create a Queen of Pain set, i'm starting with a viper helm, my intention is to create a long hair version for her inside the viper spine
but i'm having trouble with the number of polygons, i've just started to create the helm and there are 400 polygons already:
[hero+items: 6-7k for the portrait and 3-4k triangles in the game]
Queen of pain has about 4.5k polygons (lod0), so i still have 2.5k polygons to work
->Blenders count 4 edges polygons as one polygon, but they are 2 triangles,is there a way to make all the 4+ edges polygons transform into 2+ triangles?
i'm new in that thing so if someone has a tip for me, i'd be glad
by now:
I don't know how to resize that img =S sry
-
Yes, but unless I missed something, the Swarm SDK still can't mount multiple sub-models inside it - so you can't test any custom items' rigging as the model simply doesn't show when loaded as a 'weapon'.
Largs, the spines are way too small - greatly reduce their number and scale them WAY up. These models are gonna be seen from a bird's eye view, so what you currently have will just degenerate into a bunch of shimmery pixels.
Also, generally speaking, 1 polygon = 1 triangle when budgets are concerned, so go by your tricount.
