MiniMage: Like the other models, approved. Fits with the crystal set pretty damn well. ;D

The concept art is a little better than the actual model, something is out of place about this shield. But it is still a nice component to the pack. 5/5

 

[Heinvers]

Cool.

To look better, the stripes behind the main crystal should not be visible.

not a big fan of the big crystals in the middle. everything else is great though

 

[Edge45]

Awesome.

 

[Misha]

well, this one doesn't 'feel' that nice as the rest.. probably those repeated stripes behind the crystal..

agree, those stripes are messy.

It's good .

 

[Forsaken]

Really good xD

Maybe it would look better if I reduced the transparency of the main crystals and/or added a dark background behind them (Because the add alpha filter depends on the background of the object)?

EDIT: Is this better? I changed the background behind the main crystal and changed the filter to additive. I know it doesn't really fit with the rest of the runestone weaponry but I think it looks better than the current mess...

Update?

I like the stripes. Great model!

that one looks better. i think you can make the crystals more opaque by making the first material layer's filter mode to "none" and just apply additive/ add alpha layers on it.

Following Grendel's brilliant advice, I added 2 layers of texture to the crystal, one with add alpha, and one with modulate (so the dark tones will be more intense and non-transparent). Here's the result. Maybe I should recolor it to look like the rest of the runestone set using geoset animations?
Also I should add another material for the rune, since the modulate filter doesn't remove the backgound...

Update2?

So, is this better?

EDIT: Here, added some tweaks and fixes and added a particle emitter.

Will update shortly.

You don't stop impressing us, do you?

 

[Systemfre1]

That looks epic...

Looks especially cool with less transparency on the crystals.

From the screenshot it looks like an awesome magitec vehicle. Only add wheels *-*

Nice update
