Ooooo...

I like... I like A lot!

You should totally do a Monk staff from the game. >.>

I love what you did with the Long Sword and Wingblade! They actually looke better than Tormented Weapons now! I do not jest...

Nice pictures, keep going

Omg....now that makes me want a Wingblade sword lol. Nice work, I love your behind the story on how it was made.

When I was referring to photoshop, I meant for this picture. Not your model (which is extremely impressive).

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

whoa man cool renders,

but i have to agree with the "others",
a shiny sword is much better than a used one, having a sword that is notched and beaten is somthing you want to have after you have loped somones head off after a fight to the death.

the bitten affect much more suits the shield, due to a shields construction, and i have to say i am a BIG fan of the texture on the grip, it looks positivlely grippable!.

Nice ones!

I have a small piece of advise on notched swords, if u notch em, make some notches really deep and less of the small ones (keep some in, but don't cover them with it)

Its a bit less realistic but looks more used on tough enemies..

Btw I'm not sure about it, but thats what I think ^^

Nice work, keep it up!

wow, very nice. I'm wondering what you could do with a Spinal Staff... /drool

Jesse · Jan 29, 2007, 05:26 AM // 05:26

awsome...simply awsome. You could make some insane amounts of money if you did stuff like this only for peoples characters. Keep up the great work

Fantastic Work! I'm going to have to start doing the same thing now that I am in college learning Maya. It looks like good practice.

From the untextured renders, it looks like you placed the texture into the handle itself (the wrap) where a bumpmap may work better for poly counts. Then again, these aren't "ingame" material with the current gaming and rendering technology available, so it doesn't really matter.

@ Jesse: Characters are much harder and take much longer to create, simply because they are organic. This is slightly offset by the fact that they would not have to move, but it is still a time consuming and complicated process. Given the creation time, a single character would probably cost upwards of 300k!

Who knows, maybe Cit is a generous person! :P

Maya is a similar, perhaps even better, program. The wrap on the handles of both swords is a separate object. The wrinkles in the hide and the color are textures. The runes on the Wingblade sword are bumpmapped, but on the longsword are actually modelled in. I have no concerns over polygon count on these models.

Awesome video of the Wingblade Sword with electrical shocking energy (its a shocking sword, right?) coursing through it coming soon!

test frame....

Ahhhh, okay. Just checkin. Everything is still a huge learning experience for me. :P

Can't wait to see the video!
