I think the proportions of the sword are perfect , I dont like only the color of the fibers on the handle. Try to make them darker brown and see if it looks better...

PS.: Great project I wish you luck finishing it!

The dude was andvari's work, I can't do people.

Shadow969: If anything I think that the blade should be a tad shorter. It's a short sword.

Epsilon: I wanted a color that contrasted the brown wood under. The reason it took me so long is because I spent all night trying to figure out how to make a metal texture that didn't clash with how I made the blade. I was shocked how well the blade turned out. Check the skin out, of course I shrink the skin before using it on the model.



Tried adding markings to the hilt, but anything that I do doesn't seem to look right.

Ok, I'm bad for this, I tend to micromanage updates. This is the last time I will mention this sword. After this post, this short sword is going into the pile of models that I am using with my game. The next time you will see this model, it will be in an in-game screen.



I know you think it looks just like the last, the grip has been totally redone. The texture is still bright, but it is more of a brown than a pinkish-red. The reason that I want it so bright is because with a darker brown, the handle just doesn't look right. I want no positive feedback on this, just negative.



Compare this texture of the grip with the texture in the skin above and you will see the difference. All images seen here in this manner are free to use btw. Later, I will release a whole pack of models like this for a small fee probably. Alot of people downloaded my last pack and it was lol quite ugly compared to these new ones.

Currently, I have this sword, a gnarled staff; and a straighter, longer staff. I won't release the staff pics because they are boring and that has to do with that little micromanagement problem. Short sword officially complete.

Negative comments only.

I think you should leave more wood here visible it'll give it simplifyed look. (Except if you are planning it for a special item ) The handle is long enough for grabbing...

PS.: When are you gonna post some screens in-game with the player holding those weapons ? I think its harder to see the proportions and the skin of the weapon compared with your characters.

What I did to this model, and I am not posting a pic of the changes; I reduced the size of the mace head, basically moved the grip up so that all wood is visible near the end and increased the size of the end to give it a slight taper.

This model is simple compared to what I am using for some of the special items.

Next up is a hand-and-a-half sword, sort of like a claymore, but with a straight cross-piece and not that classic V look. As for the swords, what I have planned so far is the hand-and-a-half sword, a regular claymore (with the V), a great sword (you guys will love the design, I found a pic that I liked in a REALLY old ultima manual from like ultima 1 or 2), and a broad sword.

PS: I have the hand-and-a-half sword mesh complete and I am currently mapping it, but first.... NAP!

MEOW! Hand-and-a-half sword.

Excelent work I hope you soon will have enough for a demo/beta , realy interesting...

cool! i really like it
