IamBatosai Posted June 29, 2007 Share Posted June 29, 2007 I modeled a sword and would like some feedback. Find a picture here: http://i168.photobucket.com/albums/u170/Ia.../swordmine3.jpg Oh, mods/admins I put this topic here instead of the druids garden as I thought I'd get more feedback if it was out front.

Peregrine Posted June 29, 2007 Share Posted June 29, 2007 Technically speaking, it's not bad, thought it obviously needs textures. The hilt looks a bit low-poly (try messing with your smoothing groups/angles), but I don't see any obvious mesh errors or anything. From a design perspective though... a few comments: 1) The blade shouldn't be flat on top. A real sword has a diamond-shaped cross section, not <=====> . 2) The whole thing looks kind of thin, like it would bend just from swinging it. But that's probably mostly an effect of the mistake in cross section. 3) The cross-guard looks too thin and fragile, like it would bend if you hit it. Try making it thicker and more rounded. 4) The taper at the base of the blade is unnecessary and would just add weight, and depending on how it's shaped under the cross-guard, it might also be a stress concentration where it sharply narrows to the tang.

ItWotBeSoonBeforeLong Posted June 29, 2007 Share Posted June 29, 2007 Looks pretty good. Post when you have colors and texture on it. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris 07 Posted June 30, 2007 Share Posted June 30, 2007 Still say its good. What colours are you going to use on it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IamBatosai Posted June 30, 2007 Author Share Posted June 30, 2007 Since I texture like s***. I don't plan on texturing it. Though I might know someone who could texture it for me. Though, until I finish the model, I won't have it textured. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sleepy_Sophie Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 its nice. But I dunno, to me the tip or the part that leads to the point seems too thin? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IbisOverhead Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 I like it just as is ... with Peregrines suggestions included. The dimensions are fantasitc and it looks very balanced to use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IamBatosai Posted July 17, 2007 Author Share Posted July 17, 2007 Well, been couple weeks. Here's an update for that model. Linky! Note, I'm working on the texture for the crossguard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
