Well, here it is, my first (proper) sword. I must ask you not to scream (well, not until I texture the thing ):



EDIT: Here it is, in all its pride and glory:




Question: how does everyone here make their models? Do you make it all in one go, or make all the parts seperately and glue them together at the end? I find making them seperately and combining them is a little easier.

wow nice job cymro

heres my first sword not real good, like how I did the handle though  bridge ftw  

[WeeSeng]

everyone ! good work on those models and for first-timer if you manage to use vertexes to create your first weapon you are a fast learner , and for those who use objects and manage to colour it , good job , not like me a slooow leearner

 

[WeeSeng]

 heres is the medieval ages great axe , i spent over half an hour just for the pommel and 10 minutes for hilt and 20 minutes of inclined plane and the handle !  please ad mire my non- coloured copy later i will post .









 please wait for my coloured copy please !

[Rilder]

Reminds me of a pickaxe.

Depends

If the model has alot of stuff on it then i just rather make seperate instead of extruding everything after im finished I make it 1 object beafore UV mapping.

But for this sword I just used 1 model.

easy I use the smooth function

right click -> smooth or use the S button.

So if you want to make a handle use extrude and then smooth the handle. If you want to make a blade use insert (right click -> insert) then smooth the insert, scale it so you make it thinner then extrude.

I do it in one piece. Inset, extrude and hard edges. Same if not better look, much more efficient ingame. Just a little harder to model that way since you can't lock/hide or other options that apply to objects.

I always made my swords with a seperate box for the handle and for the blade. Can't see any reason why that would be less efficient in-game than a one-piece sword.

shadows look quite strange in M&B when you're using seperate boxes.

I'll try and add my sword to the game. Knowing my luck, it'll probably be held upside down

Here's a sword I made about 6 months ago but nevered textured properly or managed to get in game.  I think I did a much better texturing job this time though (using weapons1), but I still cannot get it in game.  I keep getting an error about default texture when starting the game.
Anyway, here it is:

I keep getting an error about default texture when starting the game.

Check the BRF you imported the sword into, go to the material tab and delete the default material you imported along with the sword.
