Description
A replacetment for the bottle Alchemist holds in his left hand, based off the Clarity Potion. Complete with detail map to make it bubble, it clocks in at 174 Polygons. This will only replace the bottle he holds normally, while the second bottle he pulls out for Unstable Concoction will stay the same.

None of the model viewers I know of can render the bubble effect from the detail map propperly, so in order to capture it, I had to turn the item into a Jugg hat so I could load it up into the in game testing tool for the video.

My friend n0b made the main and bubble texture, while I made the model and masks. Hope you all like the item.


Edit 08/14: According to Robin Walker, support for item specific detail maps is likely going to be dropped with an future update with how models are loaded into the game, which will go for Alchemist's defalut bottle as well as this one, leaving only hero specific detail maps (Like the lightning effect on razor, or the water effect on Morphling).

This means the bubble effect shown in the video will no longer be supported.

On the flip side, once Alchemist get support with the ingame import tool, I'll be updating the normal map to the file.
