Looks nice and well built. How many tris? I do mine at 700 high poly .

vertices: 650
faces: 1228, that actually suprised me.

Celtic longsword, which is a funny name because celtic longswords were actually short. They didn't have the technology to create a long blade that wouldn't fold up in battle. Looks like the roman gladius and a scramasax. I think the scramasax was british and was influenced by the gladius, don't know about the celtic one though.

Sounds cool Slizzer. You seem to know about swords. This can also claim to be useful when attempting to model an object of any kind.

"If you know your object, you will know your model."

Please look out for my next week's showcase thread regarding my swords. Going to throw in some polearm and knife screenshots too as a treat . Perhaps you may receive a grasp of inspiration and learn something new too . Seeing as you're interested in swords ?

Good work Slizzer . Hopefully I'll be returning to your thread shortly to review your skinned sword .

Brand new sword for you to stab stuff with!

Wow the details look cool!

Very good. You can do weapon trails without any frame rate loss with realtime meshdeforming. In this case it will look like in SoulBlade. MAybe not as beautyful as a shader, but very, very, very useful for collusion detection via trace from vertex to vertex.

Very cool models and effects, but a crossbow is still missing or?

Im not messing with that. I see no frame rate loss.

Does anyone actually watch this thread and look for new updates? LOL. After all of this time I finally got the main character model that I hired someone to do for me, good price, fully animated. Now I can do more work on my game. First thing I did, and this is a good method for you cheap-skates out there, is select the faces of the torso and then click select inverse and delete all the NON-torso faces. Simply make this "torso" slightly bigger and reskin it as armor. Now you have armor that is fully animated and centered correctly.
In these shots I am using a combination of changing the player's skin and changing the armor's skin, so this way I can have underclothes and a main/outter carapace for his armor.


Full chain-mail and runic great sword
Leather cuirass, shield, and spear
Great sword and green leather armor
Ornate armor, club, and leather short-pants (snicker)
