Mmkay, got max and mudbox, now it's time to get familiar with them so I can try making dota2 items. Yay.

Most characters aren't set up for the economy just yet. There were 12 when Valve started us on our way, but they pulled out a couple and got them ready when people requested it.

i.e. If they don't have an item released now, they're probably not ready for modding yet.

However, some heroes ARE broken up ready. One such is Phantom Lancer.


SO SOMEONE DECOMPILE HIM FOR ME PLS.

I went through Phantom Lancer's model files, and took some ref pictures of how, erm, broken apart he is.

The body pictures WOULD have his head, but his head does something TERRIBLE when loaded as a weapon.

[brandos]

I made now a weapon for Omniknight, i also checked that the weapon
fits his hands.



The Object have 193 trins.

How can i get it into the game?

[The very best]

I've wanted to get into modelling for a while, what's the best program(s) to do this sort of stuff (and to learn with, obviously)

[Hawt Koffee]

textures finished

[Humblerbee]

This is relevant to my interests, I'm gonna lurk the shit out of the thread. Also, this summer my job (besides my real job) will be to finally make a model. Aw yiss.

This makes me realise that someone should give the Silencer the mask from the 'silenced' icon.

I would do it with pleasure but all that legs to difficult animate for me :D

A pair of legs can be removed from the overall size if needed, though I just imagine it moving would be shuffling its legs rhythmically along with some bobbing of the segmented body.

I dont think that its really fit the game

Could just rig each leg alternating all the way down to a different bone, then you would have 2 leg bones but still have each one moving properly. ( so long as it doesn't move like an inch worm )

No wonder it made me think about it.

Perhaps, I don't picture it moving like an inch worm, just something sort of with fleeting fleet with a body that bobs up and down with movement from the legs.

What's with all the funnies? I was quite serious.

I'm sorry, but i dont see this fitting dota at all, or atleast with the face it has now.

[The Mighty Boat]

i like the idea of a little catterpillar courier, but not that weird thing

[brandos]

The "this dont fit" answers wont help us

[Sparkwire]

its waaaay too grotesque for dota, and the body doesnt really resemble anything else in dota

[Sharc]

The thing is a little exaggerated since I drew it purely on the tablet, but which part(s) do you not like of it?

[Sparkwire]

mostly the face.

not the caterpillar he's referring to the thing he made

I'ts really sci-fi looking and doesn't seem to match the artstyle.

and chin

[Sharc]

Well with this design for Dirge coming in-game soon enough, I wouldn't think the face is too grotesque.



I think it could perhaps use a bit style editing to fit in more perhaps, by editing proportions here and there. vv

Edit: Oh, I thought you meant the Caterpillar was grotesque, nevermind.

I'm pretty sure he did. Don't see how the hammer is grotesque. Also don't really think the caterpillar is. idk confused as fuck

[lotusking]

looks like it's time to get into modeling...

Edited:

what would be the best program to use for this?

3ds max?

maya?

blender?

[Venezuelan]

the guideline thingy said to use Maya, they're all good options in their own ways though

[Sparkwire]

Its a different kind of grotesque thats in dota

Edited:

i dont know how to explain it but you can just look and see the differences

[thecuntsman]

This isn't constructive. Just carry on doing your thing :)

yeah who cares if it doesn't fit the theme and totally clashes with everything.

[Smashman]

I didn't think Maya was a model creation program. I mean it's made by the guys that made 3ds, so why would they make 2 programs to serve the same function?

[Zalakzik]

I just thought, why not?
Pudge Pharaoh style set
Later some hook.

P.S Any ideas about miscs?
P.S.S. Standard Pudge pose terribly inconvenient.

Is the staff too sauron?

[Smashman]

Maya is actually made for anination, so.... I was right.

[Hawt Koffee]

Guys, stop making *real life* stuff like egyptian stuff and roman stuff. Dota is fantasy, be creative MAKE UP lore if you have to. Just do something original. Try to steer clear of anything that isn't medieval. I'm not saying you shouldn't take inspiration from those kinds of designs. Just don't base your items entirely on them.

...maya and max are owned by the same company. They are both made to do the same job. Modelling, animation etc. The works. They just have different interfaces.

Don't expect everything in the world to make sense.

In the same way that Photoshop is for editing photos. They have evolved to accommodate a wide range of uses.
