DonDustin: looks really interesting

Unfortunately, the particle emitter is not the way it should be. It should follow the blade instead of leaving a trail, but upon doing that the particle emitter gets screwed up in game. Thus, I have no choice. If anyone has and suggestions on how that could be done please, fire away!

 

[sPy]

I THINK, if you checked the "Model Space", it won't leave trail.

 

[Usedwell]

Yes indeed, but with that checked, the particles are bunched into one particle of white that travels along the sword.

 

[Usedwell]

Model file is now a bit larger, but I found a way to have the effect on the sword that I wanted. 15 different emitters xD but it now works properly as intended!

 

[HailFireer]

Did you set length and width? That should make the emitter go over the entire blade.
Also magos screws em up, so in game width and length will be mixed. so after your happy with how particles work, just change width number with length number, and other way around, save, and it will be good ingame.
15 emitters will get this rejected you know...
Also, handle is kinda to thin. Make it a bit wider. Good idea, needs work overall.

I agree, the updated one might be useful for my project. (Credit and +Rep when used)

 

[Usedwell]

Actually, 15 emitters is the only way possible to create the effect that it has. 15 emitters is not bad either, the file size is only 11.73. trust me i spent 2 days working on the emitter, this is the only way. Using length/width gives the emitter a choppy effect as mine here has a smooth pulsating type effect. If rejected for emitters thats fine ill keep it to myself.

That's a damn nice blade, however in-game, the part deparating the actual sword and the handle isn't as visible as i'd hoped. But great sword overall, 4,5/5

 

[Piwlady]

That's really good

 

[Misha]

Too much particles O___o

 

[Usedwell]

Tiz the only way

 

[chilla_killa]

I would do an animated texture instead of 15 particle emitters, but looks nice anyway +rep 4/5

 

[Wanarax]

WoW nice

 

[Wanarax]

Ahhhh... forgot rep+ keep up a good work

I think it is fine
there never are more then 4x particles at once and the file size is still good (though he could give them (the particle emitters) a better name and move them all in one row (click on it and then click "move left/right" in order to move it down the tree) )

and the idea he had before (with a single emitter going up and down) would look bad as soon as the sword would start moving so I think this is the best solution

and cause I think new ideas should always be honored I vote 5/5

 

[HailFireer]

Not necessarily, yes, but depends who reviews it. Like DonDustin kills ya for bad wrap.

 

[Misha]

Ahhhh... forgot rep+ keep up a good work

new guy? Please don't doublepost. "EDIT" button is there for a reason.

 

[Alfagar]

Woah! Awsumz!

The particle emitters on this model are truly splendid - the way the yellow glow moves on the blade is unique and looks beautiful. Only the texture choice could have been a little better, as those textures are definitely overused and are getting a little boring after a while. The crystal effect you applied doesn't works too well, in my opinion, because the crystal layer on the blade is barely noticeable and it just adds up to the polycount, but it shouldn't be much of a problem since the polycount is so low. One thing I dislike about the design of the sword is the two "holders"(I honestly don't know how those are called), the ones near the handle. I dislike the texture on them and I don't like how they are curved like that, makes it look strange.

 

[Usedwell]

The texture for the emtters was the only one I thought that fit, plus I think it looks best. And also the crystal layer does add a bit of a difference to the appearance when it is there, just compliments the emitters basically.

 

[Deolrin]

I actually meant the texture on the sword rather than the texture on the emitters.

 

[ashbringer753]

could use some more design in the middle of the blade(+rep if u do it xD), otherwise I'l give this model an Outstanding 4/5!

 

[Usedwell]

I don't think any added design to the blade would be visible in game

 

[Misha]

Kinda looks like Frodo's "sting"

 

[War_Golum]

awesome rep+

 

[BloodSpilla]

Very useful model, rep+
