DotA 2 Workshop - Opportunity for Model Creators

[Jazztastic]

As a few of you might know, Valve has opened up the Steam Workshop for DotA 2. This means anyone can create and submit custom content for the game. Modellers can submit anything from cool items for the heroes, to new couriers. This is a fantastic opportunity for all you modellers to collect some real money from your talent.

i have a strange feeling that this will become another dota hate thread.

If it gets anywhere close to that I'll ask a moderator to step in.

But honestly guys if I could model I would so do this. It seems like a legit easy way to make some money.

i would already be making models if i was ever interested in dota. to give credit though, i love the new models.

I am interested tho i can't find a way of exporting dota 2 models atm... continuing the search.

Also, i am gonna start modelling for dota2 if my computer spec can handle it atm.

Any suggestions about software? The poly count is 3000 max as i saw somewhere i think.
Atm i am practicing in blender and photoshop.

I believe Valve has posted the critera somewhere in the Steam Workshop. It includes poly count, a style guide, and possibly the character models. I know I've seen it somewhere around the Workshop area so just peek around.

Ye i found them.

It's different per character, and i tested the poly count on my machine, it's running fine.

 

[Jazztastic]

Well I hope to see some stuff from you possibly go into the game ^_^

As a sidenote, the cost of items so so obnoxious, especially keys.

I am only interested in making items for some heroes atm:

Sven (dat helm and sword >.>), Void (kind of plain tbh), Enigma.

Most of the heroes look good to me as it is and without some higher inspiration idk what to add to them.
Also couriers should be fun making.

But i am getting ahead of myself, i have to put my studies first atm and only do modelling in free time, tho i will surelly post my creations here for suggestions/opinions.
