MiniMage: With two versions, one Low Quality and Medium Quality, I find this model useful and neat looking. Approved.

I think it is possible to trigger ribbon emitter only upon use of attack animation.

If you make a separate animation named "death" where ribbon emitter is turned on and an animation named "stand" where the emitter is turned off it will work out. But it requires some coding magic.

I wanted the ribbon to stay permanently and even made the bone slightly move back and forth so that there was a pillar of green light from the gem in the hilt though the hole in the handle/base and to the tip of the blade : D.

soooooo intentional, but nice to know it was noticed hehehe since ribbons cannot be seen from inside the War3ModelEditor (hence no green pillar in top most pic) .
ty for the comment ^_^

(also have some nice green glow from between the wings which pulse to add more green flare)

 

[MiniMage]

Hmm, looks like a legend of zelda sword. I'd suggest making the tip a little bit more pointy.

 

[Hantoo]

Sharper blade ;I

 

[imforfun]

thanks for the comments ^_^, I wuv them all lol. (updated)

oh and I have actually completed all the Legend of Zelda games except Zelda 2 and majora's mask... almost got majora's mask done tho hehehe.
(not 100% runs on most of them)

Btw, I just realized that the middle was hollow. I know it's a fantasy blade and all, but hollowing out the center would basically weaken the blade to the point that using it would be pointless.
Still neat looking though, detail wise. I thought you were going for a TC section or something. XD

 

[imforfun]

Heh, that’s the beauty of models and being made on a computer! Anything is possible no matter how illogical : )

 

[Heinvers]

Looking fine

 

[Misha]

hmm.. is it possible to reduce the polycount somewhat? ideally by half xD or half of half?

Isn't it kinda okay, as is? It's just 1100 polies, after all. Granted, it's twice the amount of a low poly model.
But this is what I would deem medium quality. But hey, if he can lower polies without reducing quality, then I suppose all the polies he could shave off would make the model better.

 

[imforfun]

I do not intend to reduce the size but I might edit it to make another low Polly version and add it to the complimentary model upload spot. : )

and yha, if it was to be a normal attachment meant for normal use... 400-600 polies would be ideal, if not less. ^_^

that works

Ok, Updated it with a smaller version:

Big version = 1100 polies and 55kb file size

Small version = 750 polies and 35kb file size

hopefully its all right, just tried not to change it too much while cutting a ton o polies. : )

 

[MiniMage]

Could you post a picture of the two versions side-by-side?

 

[andreariona]

Really neat looking one, good ingame texture choice as well. Loved the emitter and ribbon especially.

Sure:

There is more changed than you can see but you can always check em out in the War3ModelEditor if you want. : )

And thanks andreariona!

 

[Splub]

This make me think of the far future! Very cool!

Nice attack effect, really great!
