Official 3D art thread - Warband

I usually start with a cube, make the hilt from it, and then extrude the grip and blade from it. I also generally only use a 8 sided grip, as in the game it's only seen in the inventory screen and in the scabbard, and second you can barely tell the difference between a 8 and 12 sided polygon at that scale.

some of the swords I seen in this thread are wastes of polygons, too many faces on things that barely show up in game.

 

[Voutare]

Yeah, but this sword is only for one player. It's not like there is going to be 200 of them on screen. Same with the helmet.

I start with a cube and a cilinder.. cilinder for the handeller and the cube for the blade..

..

Done, now I'm texturing..

Lol, of course..

I agree there. I'm just used to trying to meet poly counts for TLD  but when making a hero, reward or unique weapon, yeah, I can go a bit overboard as well

What do you think?

Should I change something?

Edit: That blue thing is a crystall..

I like it. You might want to either make the hilt more substantial, or thin the blade a bit (for realism purposes). It's a good model though.

BTW, Petruz, you might want to stop double posting. You do it quite a bit.

 

[Petruz Maximus]

Heh.. sry.. I just forgot it was doble posting, because i was doing this sword and writing at the same time..
ty..
If you want the Wings-3D file i can send you..
I want to learn, learn, learn.

Edit: I did doble posting again.. well can anyone do me a great favour?

 

[Voutare]

Now, I bet not a single soul wants to see my texturing job... so...

Anyone want to make one for me?

ok.. But I'm not into texture very much as you can see above..

Edit: Umm.. Voutare i think you have recieved a new message..

 

[Voutare]

I doubt you would be able to texture that. I couldn't do it at all. It was horrible.

Lol:

getting a truely realistically balanced sword is pretty tricky, if you don't understand it well. but here's my advice:

either make the hilt larger or the blade smaller. also, with a blade like that, you need a bigger pommel for it to be properly balanced.

Voutare: I can give it a shot, if you want. do I see a door texture in there?  lol

Lol:

That is a really cool helmet.  Great work.

Lol:

Um.. i could texture it but, it would stay metal.. metal like normal metal not old metal..

 

[Voutare]

Octoburn is doing it.

 

[Hallequin]

That helmet is awesome! Can't wait to see it textured! Is there any chance it might be added into the TLD movie stuff mod?

Again?

That was questioned before..
