[Dota 2] Dawnbreaker Ragdoll

This is the Dawnbreaker hero from Dota 2, released in the Spring of 2021. This addon also includes their hammer as a prop.

Having not ported from Dota 2 before, I gave this hero the first try after much drought. Turns out I was still too early with this one so porting her with animations may have to wait a bit. Hence why it's only a ragdoll for now.

I've tried to replicate the model in Source as best as possible. As far as I know there is no way to extract morph channels from Dota 2 as of yet so I've had to make a few basic facial flexes myself. It's nothing spectacular but its there and hopefully lifts expressions a bit. Finger-posing too. I mostly just recommend the Advanced Bone Tool to pose pieces that aren't tied to the physics model. The Stand Pose is pretty useful too.

The model has plenty of bodygroups for FX as well as outfit pieces. The textures have been up-scaled too, and some of them move about. Overall I think the model looks great with the few material details that are and made it over.

I am also posting this to break up the drought in my workshop content recently. Sorry about that. I wish I could blame being busy with something else but that would also be a lie.

This is not a playermodel yet although I do have a few ideas for that. Might get to that soon enough if I am not caught in another creative drought.
Of course, you can pose this on the valve_biped skeleton and make it a playermodel yourself if you want. I probably will not be doing that quite exactly so stay tuned for that. And stay tuned for some animations eventually.

All credits go to Valve (for maintaining the game) and subsequent reverse engineering tools for making this port possible.
You can play Dota 2 right now on Steam.
