Oh right, thanks. I'll check this out tomorrow.

Apply the textures to it though, that's something that either isn't working or i'm doing wrong. I can't take renders of a gray Kunkka :(

i think i got it. i was able to load the parts seperately, rather than from one file.

Anyone?

You probably didn't do anything wrong. If I recall correctly, Valve started breaking up heroes into different parts. You may have to decompile each part individually to get the whole model, but in all honesty, you should just use the Kunkka model in the workshop (unless of course you are having issues with it).

I do just use the workshop version up to now. Problem is the workshop version also is missing limbs and i thought the decompiled version wouldn't be. For positioning of my items i use the valve supplied models but i was hoping to get some shots of the relevant hero complete with my item in blender for some renders as some other people seem to have managed to do in their images for their items on the workshop.

I tried decompiling Kunkka the other day and importing him in to blender. All it imported was his head and torso. Am i doing something wrong?

I know this isn't a blender issue but since people here will have submitted items to the Dota workshop i was wondering what you added in your marketing file. I'd like to know what i should include (visual examples would be great) and what the best method for getting some good marketing pictures is.

HellJumper lähetti viestin:

Yeah. The same goes for effects. For the time being, you're gonna have to ask Valve to do custom particle effects until they add support for it.

I see. Well thanks for your help. Your videos on TF2 and DOTA modelling taught me how to do it from the ground up over this last week from having zero experience so thanks a lot for them both; i really appreciate it.

HellJumper lähetti viestin:

You can't. It will have to be animated which Valve will do if it's accepted.

Oh right. So what do i do for submission? Do i just add the rope/chain as a static part of the weapon model and write in the description that it would have physics?

I want to add physics to a weapon i'm creating for DOTA (a chain or rope hanging from a part of it). How do i do this?
