I have modeled and rendered the original Guild Wars longsword in a 3D modeling and rendering program called Lightwave. This slightly different version has runes, Fissure of Woe rubies, and genuine charr hide wrapped handle.

Scan down the thread to see my newest renderings of the TALL SHIELD and the WINGBLADE SWORD.

First, the screenshot

Here is the model untextured and rendered:

Some basic coloring and detail:

Final details and textures:

Jesse · Jan 19, 2007, 03:10 AM // 03:10

Looks like someone was so nervous they were biting their sword.

About the screenshot, did you take one in-game and photochop it, or did you find some way to view the models?

Bryant Again · Jan 19, 2007, 04:47 AM // 04:47

It's shorter, which I really really like. If only Guild Wars could take this fabulous sword you have rendered...

/sigh.

But very nice work!!!

No, there is no photoshop at all here. The model is a completely new computer object built to look like the gw longsword. Notice it is much higher resolution and not exactly the same. This means I can animate it, and change it easily and quickly, now that it is made. I will animate it later and ad it to this post.

Slightly longer, and with no "bite marks". LOL. I like the bite marks!! Looks "used"

Also, I modeled a TALL SHIELD...

Working on my next project: Wingblade Sword.... coming soon

Seriously, nice work. Got to love how shiny it is too =P

I actually like the bite marks on the shield, it looks like a pearly coat.

If everything in Guild Wars was that awsomely detailed imagine what it would say on the box for requirements

Reccomended PC Specification
1. 4GB of RAM
2. Quadra Nvidia 8600 GT PROs
3. 8.2 Ghz processor
4. A direct link to the Verizon Mainframe network to update were the players with the sword goes so the game can render what the reflections are.

Awsome job on the fancy rendering keep up the good work and mabey you could sell and pictures of peopls weapons. I personally would like to see a renders Crystalline and mabey a chaos axe and Gloom sheild or a storm bow or other stuff of that high end nature. I really dont know if that would be too comlpicated but it would be nice to give it a try i guess. Keep up the good work.

Yeah, the polygon count and details are far more than real time games could handle. Sometime in the future however........

Crystalline and Chaos are coming soon, as soon as I finish my wingblade, which is just about there.....

Very nice.

However the fact the Sword is Sundering spoils it.

He could always mod it with his modeling abilities.

Jesus christ that is f'ing awesome.

side-note: I've never said anything is f'ing awesome that anyone else has ever created, so you should take that as a very good compliment.

Oh man, I outdid myself here. What you see below is a perfect Shocking Wingblade Sword of Enchanting. Made the way the old crafters in The Underworld intended it. The crafters are no longer there, as they have been killed by the beasts. But this sword has been carefully kept in a chest until now. Notice the glowing glob of Ectoplasm attached to the hilt, giving it enchantments that last 40% longer. Its causes 40% more damage while the wielder is above 50% health. Why are the stats so high? Because of the ecto bonded to the handle. If you notice, all the other wingblade swords have the ecto missing and some of the prongs broken. Usually because of battle, or just plain greedy salvagers. Its hard to find one of these with the ecto still attached in the game.
Also, the handle is wrapped with Bladed Aataxe belly skin, the softest hide in the world. Its difficult to get and very rare. Corinthian leather can't compare.
