Runes are a familiar - and very handy - feature of Dota 2, popping up on the MOBA game's map to offer temporary buffs and effects, or even to drop some extra gold into your hero's pocket. They've also got some appealing designs, signalling what each is used for - and now, one fan's taken this a whole leap further by recreating the runes as gorgeous animated art.
Dota 2 fan SurWesley has been busy recreating a bunch of the multiplayer game's runes using the open-source 3D graphics software Blender and sharing them on Reddit lately, with several already completed - and they're really lovely things to look at. One that's particularly caught my eye is their animated recreation of Dota's regeneration rune.
Its wedge-like chunk of translucent and vivid green glassy material looks just how you'd imagine it from the in-game model, and we can see its branches and leaves crunch as they wrap around it. It even incorporates that distinctive sound effect Dota fans will know well, so we're in no doubt what it is - you can take a look below for yourself.
