Twizzler77 Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 @Nimbus21 Yeah, I'll be adding the glow maps (I'm used to calling them emissive) once I get it into the game. I went back and forth with the flame etchings vs. runes but I went with runes due to them being more Skyrim-ish. The flames are pretty cool but they kinda scream decorative sword material. Runes tend to hint at a history or lineage which I feel is more appropriate...and besides, Ghosu made them look cool. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twizzler77 Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 (edited) @Pmnavatar I was originally sticking with steel since that was what the reference calls for. But I guess the in-game sword would be ebony (Daedric influences). I can make the appropriate adjustments sometime this week if you feel it's warranted. Texture adjustments are pretty quick. Edit: @IruleHyruleThe blade length is most likely attributed to the FOV of the previewer program I use. I'll double check when I get home but the blade takes up a significant portion of the overall length. The screenshot(s) doesn't really do it justice.

Steel is nice too, dont get me wrong, it can be skyforge steel ;) I was thinking something blackish with red waves (like the oathbreaker from The Song of Ice and Fire aka Game of thrones), but that's me, i'm open to any thoughts and ideas I had a feeling that your blade length "problem" could be caused by FOV (it really looks a bit small), because the mesh you first showed us had the length just perfect, a nice and solid longsword. Can you upload another POV to dispel any doubts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twizzler77 Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 @Pmnavatar Blackish steel could be cool. I'll do a variant with a shot of the bladelength but I'm pretty sure it hasn't changed from the earlier shots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hotemochick1992 Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 Twizzler, Can you make it so when you draw your blade/ kill someone/ or sheath the blade that it says some dragon words. I was going to do this more mine but I can send you the files i have for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was going to do this more mine but I can send you the files i have for it. I could certainly give that a shot. I haven't had a chance to go through the process of getting this into the game yet, though so this seems incredibly advanced for me at the moment. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hotemochick1992 Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 Well let me know if you want em! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twizzler77 Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 @hotemochick Definitely! Thanks for the offer. :) As requested, screenshots showing overall proportion and a quick darkened blade. http://imageshack.us/a/img832/3374/tmwdragonbornswordwip04.jpg Ran into some minor issues with Nifskope. Looks like the version I'm using is trashing UVs. So when I get more time tomorrow, I'll hopefully be getting this into game. Cheers and thanks for looking!

Nimbus21 Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 Both of those look cool, thought a thought just occured to me, have you consider sheath's? Or are you planning to use vanilla resourses? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
