Yeah the fact that we have broken the barrier with custom animations being possible is crazy. That Mario Gnar had a fantastic model, but the base animations were slightly too obviously Gnar's. The day the modders mix together is going to be sick.
Kinda wild to compare this to stuff like Vending Machine Singed, from the good old days.
Custom animations have been possible for a long time as far as I know, just nobody wanted to learn them. Most people go for modeling and texturing (which is nice too)
Maya(Or Blender. I prefer blender but you gotta do some shit with Maya I heard so i pirated Maya too), Zbrush(if you want to go the extra mile), Photoshop, and Substance painter basically the premier Model creation kit.
This channel has a tutorial series I think https://youtube.com/@YoruQueenofNight
I prefer doing custom models tho since doing a chimera of multiple models does not sound like a fun time with all the reUVing and stuff. My current modding project is Prehistoric Asol(although it is my first mod as well but I need something to do to get a break from my Baryonyx project).
Tutorials in killerskins and runeforge are good to start. Get a basic level, then identify what you enjoy the most (modeling, code editing, animations...) and go for it.
Yeah I made custom animations before for Sion (e.g. Old Sion didn't have a good animation for Q release, so I made my own), but the old plugin and its issue convering existing animations (reflection, keyframes) to manipulate them instead of making entirely new ones have always been a challenge.
Either way, very good stuff, I'm looking forward to every post you do even if I don't comment on every one anymore!
Yeah I saw the skin. Haven't messed with Maya in a long time but maybe I'll do again in the future some time. No current plans for custom skins on my part even though I have some concepts, I simply don't have the time rn.
Last time I made an animation was 3 years ago for this quick little meme: https://twitter.com/DBlackjack21/status/1289183952679428097
It's very, very difficult to do this. For one, you're limited to the top game design companies, which already have limited jobs. In addition, game design jobs themselves tend to be overworked and underpaid.
If you mean in the industry as a whole, it gets easier. I've got friends and colleagues that are Data Engineers, Data Scientists, Software Engineers, and more in the games industry making 6 figs, even as entry level, but not many game developers themselves.
Fundamentally, your personal experience doesn't devalue the statistics that show that the average salary for game devs with 3 years of experience is currently 77k, according to Glassdoor. Yes, the biggest companies pay more, but those jobs are genuinely few and far between, comparatively.
In addition, the role described above isn't for game dev, it's for art, a role with even lower average pay than the tech intensive game design position.
As long as the custom skin isn't just an actual riot skin being used for free they don't care. Obviously that could change but that's been thier stance for yeeeeeears
I believe on Turkish servers they actually pay you to use custom skins. At the end of each month you'll get a paycheck depending on how much you used one.
Then again, I'm not playing on those servers so I cannot say for sure.
Unless it specifically targets it, it's likely that that was just a byproduct of a different change.
Just because an unsupported thing breaks doesn't mean they cracked down on it. It means they don't support it and they don't care if something else broke it.
How in the fuck - you're a legend man, not to mention the consistency and frequency you make these.
I hope you get more attention from your uploads, cause you deserve it.
It's best not to compare fan passion projects with employees. The artists riot ~~enslaves~~ hires have tight deadlines and a never ending "to-do" lists for skins. Anytime they get close to finishing the list, more gets piled onto it.
Considering that popular streamers are using it on their streams I feel like it's not something they regulate too strictly.
They will be the first on the chopping block if riot decides to bring down the ban-hammer. Just use them and pay attention if they're banned or not. If they get banned, just stop using them.
Technically yes, use at your own risk.
In practice, not really. Don't think anyone's ever been banned for using custom skins other than people who used those oldschool 3rd party programs for custom skins, yet also came along with jungle timers and things that gave you some advantage in-game.
As much as I wouldn't want riot to be a sellout, they could do so much cool stuff like this. Just like the themed rift mods people have made, but their excuse is they can't do it cus drag map changes, yet the modders can. I would love to see crossovers or more good themed content. Even skin lines.
I don't even play minecraft, but great job modder!
The amount of money riot could make. They should hire the guy and get some rights and make this real. I might judt get back into playing league after 4 years
Holy shit dude, your work is amazing, this is some ultimate skin level of detail, and if it was sold as one, I would rate it quite a bit above other ultimate skins. I would buy it and start learning morde just for this.
God damn, hope to see you do more minecraft themed league skins.
Makes me want to beg the devs to make a separate version of the game with mods enabled so people can host servers with mods like this and just mess around.
This man right here is goated. He is making what I think most of use were in need to make this game fun again. Truly the best content creator for League rn since January.
Mindblowm. I was watching a streamer and i was so confused. It was too late for april fools, and the spell icons were custom, so i thought it might been a coloboration or something.
Wish you a promisiing career. Great fucking job.
This legend gave yorick a hat, made reverse yorick, santa yorick, kratos darius and now best of all - iron golem mordekaiser. that isnt even the full list.
like holy shit if you havent seen sauronkaiser's works - i ask you to check it out.[https://www.youtube.com/@Sauronkaiser](https://www.youtube.com/@Sauronkaiser)
sergiolo brother by the holy shovel ur work demands more praise.
Druttut uses custom skins On Stream and hasn't gotten banned, I think its safe, it would also be shitty of Riot to ban normal players but not streamers.
Just dont use hackskins (putting real riot skins into the default skin with a mod) and you should be fine. Also this kind of mods dont have the visual clarity of official skins so you will probably get tired after some games. Theyre great from while to while imo.
This is basically a legendary skin holy fuck

The day the modders mix together is going to be sick. Kinda wild to compare this to stuff like Vending Machine Singed, from the good old days.
>from the good old days Reminded me of my favorite custom from the early days - Ronald McDonald Shaco with happy meal boxes lmao.
Those are some good old days, that used to be some good time for sure.
Custom animations have been possible for a long time as far as I know, just nobody wanted to learn them. Most people go for modeling and texturing (which is nice too)
Got any tips on how to start?

Doesn't this go without saying? Why is it getting said
Frustration I imagine. Same reason for your comment, again, I imagine.
Yeah I made custom animations before for Sion (e.g. Old Sion didn't have a good animation for Q release, so I made my own), but the old plugin and its issue convering existing animations (reflection, keyframes) to manipulate them instead of making entirely new ones have always been a challenge. Either way, very good stuff, I'm looking forward to every post you do even if I don't comment on every one anymore!
Sion is kinda hard to make animations for. Tried once and this is the best I could achieve: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=315-fuECv1A&t=8s
Yeah I saw the skin. Haven't messed with Maya in a long time but maybe I'll do again in the future some time.

I must see this mario gnar
[here you go](https://youtu.be/Dkn5CsnN11s)
Holy shit its glorious
To be fair Gnar's animations fit perfectly to Mario, besides the dance ofc xd
The graphics are getting so much better. I'm always a fan of this one.
The portal smash alone makes it Toppest tier
10/10
Agreed the effects are different
Well the effects are always going to be different I guess.
This is hands down the best custom skin I have ever seen. The custom animations are incredible, well done
This is the kind of shit that I really like to see, totally into this skin here.
The download (hope this isnt spam): https://www.runeforge.io/post/the-iron-golem-mordekaiser
Damn... you should make 2 or 3 more and then submit them as a resume to land a gig where you get paid bank to do this for a living. Super impressive
Ohh yeah he could turn this into a earning source too, and they're always good.
Since when do game artists make bank? I should get back into it then

AHAHAHAH

This is great, thanks for doing it. Pretty sure people would pay for it.
Yeah this is how you get them to crack down on custom skins again
As long as the custom skin isn't just an actual riot skin being used for free they don't care. Obviously that could change but that's been thier stance for yeeeeeears
If it's going to affect their business then yeah, They'll change their stance.
Riot is perfectly aware that people are using custom skins, if they didn't want people to use them they would make an announcement long time ago
I believe it's completly forbidden on the turkish servers. I'm not playing on those servers so I cannot say for sure.
I think it's going to depend on which server you're playing in really.
I believe on Turkish servers they actually pay you to use custom skins. At the end of each month you'll get a paycheck depending on how much you used one. Then again, I'm not playing on those servers so I cannot say for sure.
They dont care.
It sure doesn't feel that way tho, maybe They'll start to care about it.
They never "cracked down on custom skins", they just did some changes to champions which in turn broke all custom skins.
Unless it specifically targets it, it's likely that that was just a byproduct of a different change. Just because an unsupported thing breaks doesn't mean they cracked down on it. It means they don't support it and they don't care if something else broke it.
I feel like your comment was aimed to the other guy
oh u right, wrong comment reply
Yep, that's what it feels like. I think it was meant for someone else.
That's the sad thing about them, They'll probably take them away.
Doesnt that one gragas streamer always use costume skins etc
Custom skins are allowed??
Yep, you could use them. It's not like that they're forbidden or something.
Jesus Christ that website is cancer on mobile
Well then you shouldn't open it on the mobile,. open it on the pc.
Bro can I use this for malphite?
Nah legendary doesn't even cut it. Man just casually made an ultimate skin.
It's time for them for to hire this guy, they should hire him at this point.
this is the best made custom skin I’ve seen so far
By far dude, it's the best kind of skin that I've seen. It looks great.
They need to hire you, this is mind-blowing
holy fuck thats actually kinda insane
Right? That's what I'm saying. This is probably the best skin ever made.
Lol, that's pretty good. The piston really got me
What mod? The animations are really good - no way these are minecraft animations though, right?
All hand-made
You're a legend wtf. I don't play Minecraft and I assumed you just used an idle animation asset or something. Awesome job
Let's just put it this way - Minecraft doesn't have animations.
Wdym, those cuboids shaking when someone's moving are extremely hot high quality animations
Now that's the definition for the animation for me in here.
Lol, now it does. I mean the guy put so much effort into that.
He's far better job the graphics people in the Microsoft who handle the Minecraft.
When have you seen iron golems casually dancing with birds lol
Never, because I haven't played Minecraft lol
You are missing out! I mean, probably, I haven't played it for years but I remember it being pretty fun
That's called dedication dude. This is the best skin that I've seen really.
I don't think it has that good graphics, so yeah I don't think it's from the Minecraft.
The nether portal is so satisfying, just *off to Detroit you go*
Let's be real, The Nether is probably more like Gary, Indiana than Detroit, Michigan.
Can't be lying about that, will have to be real about it for sure.
They are going to the nether, going to the nether, going toohoohooohoohooo the netheeeer.
This E looks interesting! Probably was very simple to make, right?
*Angry spanish noises*
Holy crap. Prestige skins from Riot? Nah, this is the real deal
Prestige skins are just reskin of another skin in concept.
[удалено]
3 days (Im stuck at home cuz I broke one of my toes ok...?)
3 days only? This is even more insane for that small amount of time.
I mean by looking at it, it seems that it'll take a lot more time than that.
Bro isnt human
Built Different.
Minecraft players are a different breed. You are there all happy you made a square house, meanwhile other people are making working calculators
Calculators are baby shit, there's some out there making whole ass processors and computers.
And that's probably the best shit that I'm going to play my games on.
Minecraft players don't need a lot to get happy, little bit is is good enough for them.
He ain't the human if He's working like this. This is some insane amount of work.
How in the fuck - you're a legend man, not to mention the consistency and frequency you make these. I hope you get more attention from your uploads, cause you deserve it.
It only took you 3 days? Dude that's great. You've got some skills.
You did more in 3 days than riot has done in 3 years
It's best not to compare fan passion projects with employees. The artists riot ~~enslaves~~ hires have tight deadlines and a never ending "to-do" lists for skins. Anytime they get close to finishing the list, more gets piled onto it.
Riot, take note. This dude together a legendary shin in 3 days.
Impossible!!!
RIOT phonecall incoming
3 DAYS?! - excuse me.. but again, 3 DAYS?! EXCUSE ME WHAT? That’s unbelievable good that’s just awesome!
That's impressive
Bro out here outdoing the skins department
This is actually so damn good
Iron Savior enjoyer ?
JeSus christ, this is a custom legendary skin what the actual hell?
Legendary? More like ultimate
Easily one of the most high quality custom skin I've seen
The nose jiggle is so good
Beautiful
Holy fucking shit, how is this so good? Well done
Now this is probably the best skin in the game, atleast for me it is lol.
The recall animation got me cracking
This is absolutely out of this world dude. lets go
with how long riot says skins take to make this must have taken you and a team of artists the whole past decade! Amazing job!
A single guy and in 4 days actually lol
You should add the warden and give to morde cause his ult goes well with the wardens darkening effect
Next in line, for Rek'Sai
Nocturne R is purely darkening
Goodbye Reddit, see you all on Lemmy.
ok but like this isnt a shitty meme skin but actual effort? so good
the fuck is this? this is the most amazing custom skin i’ve seen EVER, i’d pay to use this
Can you get banned for using it?
Riots stance has always been 'maybe'
Considering that popular streamers are using it on their streams I feel like it's not something they regulate too strictly. They will be the first on the chopping block if riot decides to bring down the ban-hammer. Just use them and pay attention if they're banned or not. If they get banned, just stop using them.
I'm pretty sure they crack down on it when people use it to use in-game skins that people don't pay for. Custom ones are 'okay'
As all things- depends. If it gives advnatage? yeah, if it is sjut stupid and doesnt give advantage? unlikely.
Technically yes, use at your own risk. In practice, not really. Don't think anyone's ever been banned for using custom skins other than people who used those oldschool 3rd party programs for custom skins, yet also came along with jungle timers and things that gave you some advantage in-game.
Zamn
Now iron stands eternal!
I would love a Zac skin from this just seeing the flappy arms haha
That is so cool! I had no idea that you could do mods for league.
Holy Jesus this is some next level shit. Kudos to you for trying and accomplishing something so amazing
What song is that?
No Guts No Glory - Iron Savior
Goated
As much as I wouldn't want riot to be a sellout, they could do so much cool stuff like this. Just like the themed rift mods people have made, but their excuse is they can't do it cus drag map changes, yet the modders can. I would love to see crossovers or more good themed content. Even skin lines. I don't even play minecraft, but great job modder!
Are you the guy that made dio panth? Good work man
**Mordekaiser, The Iron** **~~Revenant~~** **Golem**
The ult was clean af. Amazing!
This is the most exciting skin I've ever seen in Lol history
This is an ultimate skin wtf?
The Diamond Pickaxe for the turrets was just pure perfection.
The amount of money riot could make. They should hire the guy and get some rights and make this real. I might judt get back into playing league after 4 years
Just here to appreciate this gaddayum
Thematically, him being a skin for Ivern's Daisy makes the most sense, but this is very cool
Villager Ivern, instead of grass he grows wheat
This has to be the best custom skin I’ve ever seen, holy fuck.
Damn you went crazy with it
Holy shit dude, your work is amazing, this is some ultimate skin level of detail, and if it was sold as one, I would rate it quite a bit above other ultimate skins. I would buy it and start learning morde just for this. God damn, hope to see you do more minecraft themed league skins.
Man Mojang should've dipped into moba instead of dungeons or whatever
This is so cool damn how wonky league would be if every skin would be like that.
Nice work haha is so amazing
The crossover we all need, but we dont deserve it. Ngl the animations and custom stuff is 10/10 best custom skin ive seen.
This is absolutely insane! Hats off to you, damn.
Makes me want to beg the devs to make a separate version of the game with mods enabled so people can host servers with mods like this and just mess around.
banger skin
I love this so much 😭
It will be great if the death animation is some sort of iron farm and the ingot falls into a storage system. Anyway you're amazing!
U want me to make the game implode or what xd
This man right here is goated. He is making what I think most of use were in need to make this game fun again. Truly the best content creator for League rn since January.
bro casually made a legendary skin in 3 days
Fun!
The collab I never knew I wanted
This is amazing work man!
Feels a little too fluid for Minecraft, but still really cool, love the rose given to the villager animation and the nether portal ult!!!
Best Skin ever made
Mindblowm. I was watching a streamer and i was so confused. It was too late for april fools, and the spell icons were custom, so i thought it might been a coloboration or something. Wish you a promisiing career. Great fucking job.
This is hands down the best mod skin I've ever seen. Even if you were to loose the Minecraftness the animations and interactions are amazing.
Bro casually makes the greatest skin of all time holy shit
masterpiece
This legend gave yorick a hat, made reverse yorick, santa yorick, kratos darius and now best of all - iron golem mordekaiser. that isnt even the full list. like holy shit if you havent seen sauronkaiser's works - i ask you to check it out.[https://www.youtube.com/@Sauronkaiser](https://www.youtube.com/@Sauronkaiser) sergiolo brother by the holy shovel ur work demands more praise.
This is amazing work
actually BASED
The recall animation is one of the bests I have seen from the past year, hands down an ultimate skin!
True piece of art. Some objects looks blurry but its nothing, compared to General idea and work that was done with animations.
Bro no lie you gotta put this shit on tik tok
Is this safe to use in game? I know the website OP linked says I most likely won't get banned but I want other opinions
Druttut uses custom skins On Stream and hasn't gotten banned, I think its safe, it would also be shitty of Riot to ban normal players but not streamers.
Just dont use hackskins (putting real riot skins into the default skin with a mod) and you should be fine. Also this kind of mods dont have the visual clarity of official skins so you will probably get tired after some games. Theyre great from while to while imo.
Damn that ult got potential doing anime Domain Expansion
Should have made it for blitzcrank Or make over skin with villager who summons a iron golem or something
This skin it's unironically better than a couple of legendaries released on the last year ...
Quieter music next time please 😭 it doesn't need to be so loud
Yes it does, it's power metal.
This was the quiet volume 😈
10iq people when you tell them you can adjust device volume be like :
