Yeah. Both model and texture look good to me.

 

[arbites_augmented]

it reminds me of marble quite a bit

 

[Tuckles]

Yeah, sadly, I can't find the best wood texture in the world. Maybe if I increase the texture size. (Currently that's 512). I think it'd look more wooden if I changed it to 2048.

 

[arbites_augmented]

maybe if you had a thin grain rather than blotches, it may be alright

 

[Tuckles]

I really think a change in size of texture will do it though.

 

[arbites_augmented]

ok, also, would google sketchup work for modelling?

 

[Valthord]

@Tuckles: That's cool. But you can make some black.

He meant "darken the wood texture a bit."

 

[Tuckles]

Alright, I'll increase texture size and darken tomorrow then.

Thanks Valthlord.

Thanks Caravan, arbites_augmented, and Lynores for your suggestions.

 

[arbites_augmented]

no problem

Here's a maille texture:

http://members.iinet.net.au/~theclearys/maille2048.dds

hope it's useful. It's at 2048, so you might want to resize it down. I figured I'd render it at very high res as it's easy to drop resolution.

First page updated:
I have been unable to contact Octoburn or Wood so their names have been removed from the claimed sections list, clearing up three sections.

I updated the progress list to correctly reflect the models that are done, in game, and tested. The list of completed weapons is shorter because I have not fixed the alpha on several of the textures.

I'll post updated pictures of those completed items soon.

[Makrond]

Phew, it's done, saved and not crashing.

Sorry it took so long, unfortunately this flu hasn't been the kindest. But it's more or less over now and it's a weekend so I've found some time.

Here's the untextured finished product. I'll start work on a texture immediately, but there's no promises it's going to look any good. I never really looked that much into how to make textures.

I might also go back and fix the axe head a little, but I'm fairly happy at how it turned out.

 

[Talon]

Yeah, ax heads are way more difficult than you would think. Maybe its just the angle but the head looks too large for the shaft. Good work by the way, and don't worry about speed, especially if your sick.

These are the ones that I've done that are finished to my satisfaction

jousting_lance

joust_of _peace

lance_dblhead

heavy_lance

dagger

khyber_knife

 

[Makrond]

Just for the heck of it, I put the standard textures on the axe. It doesn't look half bad, though I agree the head could come down in size a bit.

I'll do my best with the textures, no promises though.

EDIT: Bah, I'm no good with textures. You might have to do it yourself. Though I have to admit you do a good job.

It might also need some tweaking; I wasn't sure if the normal dlbhead_ax was one-handed or two.

EDIT2: Winged mace is done as well. The standard one looks horrible. This one I can and will texture, but it might not get done until tomorrow.

practice_sword

scab_dagger

peasant_knife

I'm not real sure about the peasant knife, the native one had more style.

And in my previous post I showed the khyber knife, which is the butcher knife in game. This is why I gave it a wooden handle; the real handle is more ornate. Would it be too inaccurate to give an ornate handle to such a low grade, common weapon?
-----------------

Makrond: I got your PM, send the ax and texture over and I'll finish it up.


Talon

 

[Tuckles]

Hmm, can you send me the texture of your practice sword? So I can keep the texture in line, for whatchamacallit's sake.

 

[Talon]

Well, I might change it to be more like yours.

continuity?

 

[Tuckles]

There we go. 

Another word would be consistency.
