Pyritie: Oh boy, you made a model by tracing a mesh around a texture! How wonderful!

Basically, the texture isn't yours and this probably didn't take much time to make at all. Try harder please.

 

[desgraci]

wow nice

Texture taken from pic?

Texture taken from pic?

the other way round xD texture made and taken for the preview pic.
But due to some need for a screenshot of my other model, I did the same here.
Could replace it, if I have time ^^

 

[Callahan]

Doesn't fit in wc3.
Too high poly.

 

[Nevermore]

It looks nice... but 1234 polies in an attachment? :l

 

[Tr!KzZ]

the number is funny but yeah it's kinda big, but was first model.
I'll try to redo it and reduce size as well as polycount..

 

[Pyramidhe@d]

and the texture, did you create that yourself?

 

[Tr!KzZ]

I based it on some sword with similar texture and colors, just used the end of it, the red ball, everything else is made by myself, except the edited part at the bottom of the sword..
Same here, if this isn't enough I can look for Ingame textures or do a new one, completly by myself..

sexy sword 5/5

 

[achoron4ever]

great XD

 

[Amaruak]

Still to much poly, it could be even unit with ~400 poly. For example those holes inside of sword you could make by alpha channel...

"could" that's the keyword.. I'm new to modelling, and this was my first model..
I'm pretty happy, that I'm finally done with it and managed it to make it a bit lower in size and poly, also it works.. finally, was a long way with lots of troubles.. so
feel free to do it if you like ^^ I'm not able to..

 

[Darkey]

It's good for a first model. I'll give ya a 3.5/5. Reduce the poly count and you'll get an even higher score. :3 +rep

 

[Overlord DM]

Epic Sword 4/5

 

[Mr. Bob]

I personally do not believe something is too high-poly for WC3 unless it is at least 5000 polies. But, due to the limitations this site has set (3000) and the fact that this is an attachment not a building/unit, this will not get approved until the poly amount is changed. Instead of making the holes in the sword part of the model, make the texture with alpha. You could make this sword look just as good with 30 polies. It's all about the texture.

 

[Leeroy]

It's really nice, just get a better texture. (better = freehanded, it shouldn't be really difficult for that blade)

 

[Amaruak]

Good to know anyone is reading my posts...
(Hello Mr. Bob)

 

[Elsheen]

Looks nice but the high polies don't mix well with it. 3/5

 

[Zerox]

Your texture is undisplayable on a wc3 model. The dimensions are not right. Make it 512x512 and then just make sure it still maps on correctly.

lol sorry. Didn't see it.

oh ok, i'll try it, also learning something about alpha thingy ^^ to reduce polycount..
update it soon!

 

[breebree123]

wow. . .looks nice 4/5

 

[a7xpwns3]

Oh Haithar, directors cut. What's happenin'?

 

[Falconeye]

Looks like a cool attachment but won't be used by mwah until the filesize is down along with a polycount. Congratulations though! You have done what I am to lazy to learn to do.

 

[Tr!KzZ]

updated it, I used alpha channel for creating the holes in the sword.
In the Milkshape editor it works, the holes were at their positions..
But it don't works in Wc3Viewer, don't know why, also saved the texture in another format,
hopefully it will be displayed in Wc3 now. Also managed to reduce the Polycount again, but
this will be last reduce, I guess. It's 174 low now, still high for an attachment, or? But I can't
reduce it anymore without losing all of the model's details and forms..
it already doesn't look smooth anymore :/ but well smaller filesize as well as lower polys..

 

[TheGodOfIron]

It looks fine, but kinda laggy in game. Polies problem?

 

[meercat]

please don't pressure the guy, it's his first time and it turned out to be impressive for a starter..


Good model...
5/5

5/5

thanks =)
at least one, that encourages me and supports me..

yea it's not easy.. it's my first model and i'm very happy, that it works.
I was also able to reduce the size and polycount.. and still improved it from update to update..
but my noobish skills here are limited.. so if anyone can make this better, with lower poly or so, feel free to edit and sent it to me, so I can watch it. But also gimme some suggestions and tipps to make this myself and to improve this..

besides your opinions about this and meanings.. please gimme suggestions and tipps how to do this, instead of only complaining how bad it is and that the polys are too much..
It helps more if I get tipps and help about it, so I can change it and make you happier..

 

[deathreaven]

I'll say that the swords quality can still be sacraficed for a reduced poly. I personally have no problems with polys due to my computer though. What I'm saying is that most people arn't to conserned if a sword is a little unfocused. I'm trying to make a sword with the word "Truth" burned into the handle and 4 gems in it, but the polys got too big and it just wasn't noticable.

 

[DeadZero]

heheh thats nice...how long did this take you?

4/5 due to the curveyness (sorry) but it looks really really nice

i dont think i have seen a better 1^st model

 

[desgraci]

4/5 n icon, but its very good work

 

[SuperCoke]

This is Awsome, but i agree, the curvyness makes it seem... awkward, i say it would look better if you merged it with another one making it like a Demon hunter Blade, but thats my oppinion, and you shouldnt do that, until the file size becomes smaller... Because merging them would double everything, correct? anyway.

I give it a.... 5/5, i would have given it a 4/5 because of the curvynes, but, i just love the design so 5/5, Good Job

[Cyper95]

instead of calling it blade of faith why not call it blade of epicness this is truly a cool awesome sword model could be usefull in all sort of anime/manga so on like map 5/5

 

[Tr!KzZ]

thanks for all the good comments =)
I' try to do more such cool models, with also lower polycounts
(while I think around 100 are ok)

I think I'll create my double blades idea today

 

[leet.firefox]

Very cool attachment.
4.6/5

 

[FuzzyFurboulg]

really nice model but a high poly count. overrall 4/5
