Very good attachment, but the wrap could use some work as well as the shading.
But I approve.

Great, i dont like the fire though, it just.. looks.. out of place.. the emmision rate is very high too.

 

[chilla_killa]

Maybe I change that

 

[HiTch]

Nice model. I think the fire is too much.

 

[Na_Dann_Ma_GoGo]

Yeah please remake the fire. I dislike burning swords when they got that many particles and these doesn't even look well. Especially when a unit is moving it just doesn't look like fire at all.
Would it be possible to attach a fiery effect to the sword itself than only relying on particles btw?
Maybe with ribbons or so? (Don't actually know what exactly they are, but someone used them on a frostmourne version and they stay around the sword as it seems :< )

 

[Deolrin]

Texture animations, yeah.

the mesh is great, but you should take aother texture for the razor and for the yellow parts because they look way too unshaded.
For the fire particles you should choose cloud8x8fire and some black smoke emitter would be good aswell.Also reduce the particle count

 

[Anachron]

I would rather add a crystal / light effect instead of fire.

 

[Lost_Cloud]

Nice!!! it uses ingame texutres as well =) nice one although could you make a poison and ice fire version as well? and maybe no fire cuz that wud be awesome =) thnx =D +Rep

 

[Orthon]

I like scimitar. But the fire looks bad

 

[X-OMG-X]

I like the sword and fire. I just think there is too much fire. Try to reduce the fire amount or add something other instead of fire.

 

[Maginox]

I think it would be better without the flames. Maybe a more detailed sword? But else its a nice sword

 

[The Panda]

Make some better details on the fire, Sparks, Color variation, Glow.

 

[Lost_Cloud]

ok apparenlty the fire isn't good XD i think its goodish but yeah make it better if you can =) also if you want to make the poison and ice ones as a request by me =) pm me cuz i have texture animation ideas which are flawless =D

 

[chilla_killa]

Thanks for the comments, I will change it, but not today.
I will find better textures, use cloud8*8fire for the emitter, reduce the particle emissions rate etc. and add a black smoke emitter

+rep for all who made a comment (if I can give)

Im just saying, that in the swords current form, it would be nearly just as good to apply a special effect fire to the units hand. Try making the fire like a lot smaller. And a fun thing that MIGHT work would be to give the particles like a long decay (idk anything about modeling), but make it so that their is like a long after-effect and the fire particles linger in the air for 2-3 seconds.

this is difficult to word, so i will just use an example. the sword moves, and fire stays all around it, but in the wake of the sword, their is still some fire, kind of adding a fire shadow effect to it. This might not even work, if you managed to understand my garbled sentences.

 

[chilla_killa]

Lulz, it was approved, although I didn't made any changes yet
But I will improve it much better later, but at first I have to finish my requests.

 

[impulsecobra]

great love it but the fire could be work on
4/5

 

[Dratz]

A pretty.. generic idea. the fire, as everyone else said, is too much !
The scimitar is awesome thou, if only you could make the fire look more like a real fire, not like a glow with fiery colors, it would be sick. :>
