Lainge Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 I mean't the going off topic thing, lol. I should really keep off the hard core gorey sniper games. I've got that sort of buzz. I'm going to be quiet now, hope the texturing goes well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CuChullain Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 My sword is coming along. I dumped all the other meshes I made and think this one is the best. Still having texturing trouble but I think I'm making progress. No waffle, what do you think? Edit: Just looking more at the screenshot. Can you guess my OS?

rickythecat Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 I like the one on the left, personally, because I'm a sucker for classic swords. It's an example of the classic Zweihander, as evidenced by the long grip and the extra leather wrapping near the base of the blade. You see, this wrapping could be used as an elongated grip, in situations where you would need more leverage to swing the blade. also, while I forget the technical term for them, the two large grooves in the blade allowed blood to flow more freely when an opponent was stabbed, ensuring a swifter demise. The Zweihander was actually a very important weapon in German history, most notable for its association with the Landsknechte. The Landsknechte were a group of German mercenaries, famous for both their needlessly complicated clothing and impressive knowledge of weaponry. The main weapon associated with the Lansknechte is the Katzbalger, which is a type of short, wide, and impressively sturdy sword that was used to great effect by these mercenaries, and became something of a status symbol during peacetime. However, an exceptionally skilled, trusted, or expendable Landsknecht could be offered double pay in order to go to the front lines using a Zweihander. Those who accepted were, appropriately, called Doppelsoldners, meaning, you guessed it, Double-Soldiers. It's all rather fascinating if you ask me. The other two are your standard issue fantasy riff-raff, probably trying to pass themselves off as a scimitar and a male without a father sword, though not especially convincingly. Call me crazy, but I'll take a realistic weapon with an interesting history of flimsy fantasy fare any day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
