Been busy with the International as its here in town. I live a few blocks from the arena in fact, so I've spent the week watching Dota in uncomfortable seating.
I showed some of the workshop folks i hung out with the video and they all had no idea the level of fuckery that we can get away with in TF2 compared to them. They make models and export rigged fbx's for the most part. no compiling, no qc files... cheaters.
btw just between you and me, the "new internal pipeline does not use qc files". However will we see that over on this side of the fence? No one could guess.
