[eWIP] Weapons oh so beautiful weapons

from Elemental Forums

Hey there ^^ since Heavenfall was able to get things in the game,  figured it might be a good time to do some models for the game.

 

One of the models:

 

A new Spear

 

 

 

Will do more, but Im busy with the Tarthan retex ATM, just wanted to let you know Im working ^^

 

 

 

 

A basic bow, will do more exotic ones later on

 

 

The low poly Katana

 

 

The first set of claws, will redo the texture somewhere down the line though.

 

 

The hook swords

Stunning, That sword looks really nice. It will be nice to finally see some new models in the game. I notice you say weapons and not swords... does this mean you have some bows and spears in the pipeline? :pout:

Well an armory without them would be useless now wouldn`t it? ;)

Well Im working on new armor, BUT since I do not have the skeleton Im kinda careful at this ^^" do not want to do everything for nothing.

These are beautiful.  I would offer that you should try and keep the polygon count down on these so they don't cause performance issues.

@Aerion Istari: I try to keep the model lol poly, but sometimes it gets me xD

It's a tough balance to be sure.

Very nice! 

I would love to see someone do this spear from DAOC:

 

The end is comprised of bladed deer antlers. Would be pretty cool :).

Big Monster Hunter fan here ^^, some would fit like the raw material ones, iron+ but the more exotic items, well I guess it would depend.

Well first you should get yourself a 3d program like 3ds Max, Maya or Blender. Blender is free and there a alot of tutorials online. 3ds Max is expensive but for me it is the way to go, personal favourite ^^". Maya is incredible powerful, but really hard to master, also it is kinda expensive.

After you`ve tinkered around a bit with these programs you should be able to create basic weapon models like the ones above, since they aren´t really complicated. Of course should you need help, you can allways drop me a note ;)

The Katana was made as low poly as possible, hope it still looks ok :-/

 

Next up Claws.

Sketch and learn the basics of technical drafting, or at least, drawing stuff orthogonally and from different angles. Alternatively, practice sculpting. These will help you develop some of the mindset needed when modeling. It's pretty easy to copy tutorials but it's as much art and practice as skill and tricks.

 

Google Sketchup is also another way to start learning some of the basics of 3d modeling. There are of course also plenty of books that can help you

Heya foxunit. I have been learning to use blender over the last week and am at the stage where I feel I can make some pretty nice UV textured mage staffs. However I can see myself running into some issues getting them into the game. Hope you don't mind if I pm you the odd message or post here any questions that end up really stumping me. Your work so far looks brilliant. I am really loveing the bow!!!
