Just for fun...

Here are some computer generated Guild Wars Items and weapons. They will obviously not be entered in the contest, because they are not original, except for the idea of adding gems and ecto to the weapons. They are simply my interpretation and modification of previously existing Guild Wars items. I will not be entering an original item in the contest, as I have some grievances with Anet and PlayNC, but I just wanted to share these images. Please check the original thread to see more pictures and computer animations......

Original thread and more pictures can be found HERE

The program I used there was lightwave 3D. Its expensive, complicated, and Im pretty sure not available as a hack and definitely not free. Other programs are Cinema 4D, Maya, Mogs, Strata 3D. They would not be free or hacked and are serious programs. There are other programs such as Bryce 3d, Rhino 3D, and Imagine 3D which might be free somewhere on the net. Student versions are often available for much less money.

Personally I myself would like to see more bulky swords i.e Brute Sword + Tribal Axe. Warriors weapons all look too small in my opinion unless it's a female. Would love to see additions such as "halberds" or "two-handed swords" for upcoming updates. Also better shields found in elona. Factions has the best shields IMO, Elona needs more pretty skins.

Just sent my entires. A scythe and a sword. IMO if you want to have a winning chance you need to design something with a strong silhuotte. The details don't matter (you can have the entire Sistine Chaple craved in the hilt, the texture artists will just ignore it).

The basic shape/physcial appearance needs to be interesting and the idea needs to be fresh (eg. a crystalline axe, although looks cool, will suck).

Pirated verison of Maya exists and probably all the other ones too. It's primarly for Animating, be you can make models in it too. They go for like ~ $3000 retail.

>.< I wanna post my entry but I can't until I send it. 1 week until deadline, and mine is a staff design. I think there aren't many cool cross class staves in the game so I decided to make one. I'll post as soon as it's sent.

I think Anet picks out a name themselves.
Just gave them a name when I started the design.

I would love to submit mine as well....but I think I should wait...as Gaile said...

""We would like to ask that no one post until after the winners are announced and the art is posted on our site. There is a reason for this that has to do with how we may go about making the announcements and revealing the new items. """

^ That means we don't need to post anything at all since our designs will be posted on the main site if we win, and if we lose what's the point in posting =P

I removed the pictures because I didn't read what Gaile posted.

And the NOT winning is just the point...
I would have loved to see all the other designs people had entered in the previous contest that didn't win, instead we only saw 6 winners(obvious).
I for one am interested in other peoples designs, ugly or masterpieces just to see what they come up with.

Maybe next time around people can submit their designs and the top 10 of each kind of weapon(jury picked) can be voted on (poll) to let players actually vote on which weapon of each class finally wins the contest.(Big Maybe that is, but a nice one imo)
