Sword of Destiny

Sword of Destiny - Please give feedback!

I'm making a two handed sword now, which is called "Sword of Destiny," I know... It's kind of a nooby name, but it'll work fine, anyone who choose to use it in their map can change the item name or other things that'll be using it, so that's no big issue... I think it looks a little too short, am I right?
I really want some feedback and suggestions on this one, so please post some suggestions or criticism!

Name:	Sword of Destiny
Type of weapon:	Bastard/Long Sword.
Profiency:	One-Handed.
Polys:	820.

I know this model as way to many polys, but it's useable, will just be a little large filesize. I'll make sure it works, though
Personally, I think the skin sux, so I'll attach the .TGA, so if you want, feel free to edit it or redo it and post it in this thread!
Frankie11 has made an awsome skin for it, just look in the posts below.

13.10.07:	Added some rendered pictures of the sword.
14.10.07:	Added some gems on the blocker and removed the smoothing on the blade.
16.10.07:	Finished the unwrap and added a picture of it.
08.11.07:	I finished the model, skinned it and I'm done with everything(almost...)!
09.11.07:	Modified the size of the model, since it was like 4 times too big for Wc3... :S
10.11.07:	Frankie11 has made an awsome skin for it! Just look in the posts below.
10.11.07:	I've added some green particles emitting from the blade, which I thought looked good.
10.11.07:	You can find the finished resource here

Model itself looks good, but I don't like the skin, makes it look like a cheap plastic sword.

 

[xXMephistoXx]

Yeah, I know... I would really love it if somebody changed it for me, because I suck at skinning...

 

[ragingspeedhorn]

Perhaps you should try requesting a skinner in the request section. Not everybody checks out these threads

 

[xXMephistoXx]

Good idea, I might do that!

 

[frankie11]

I'll skin it for you... I'm not the GREATEST but at least I'll make some progress
EDIT: Finished your skin. I hope you like it... I put in my concept of what a Sword of Destiny would look like :O) Maybe add some gren particles on the runes to make it look awesome.

oh that would kick so much ass if you made that into a flame sword.

 

[xXMephistoXx]

Well, it definketly looks more Wc3 like! Thanks alot, was much better than mine! +rep.!
What you mean about flaming sword, blazing?

 

[ragingspeedhorn]

A lot better frankie! +rep to both of you, both model and skin ended up great.

 

[blazing-inferno]

What you mean about flaming sword, blazing?

i ment skin it a flame color and add particles to make it look like it was burning. because the way the blade is it would make an awesome fire sword.

k, I see what you mean, but I don't think I'm gonna bother and I wouldn't be able to skin it good, anyway...

I think the actual blade looks a bit too... low detailed. The place where you pick the sword also isn't the best, the white part with gems looks like a bone.
Not completely bad though. And remember, these are comments/advices, not insults.

Just look at frankie's remake of the skin, looks much better.. to see a screen shot of the model, go to the finished resource link in the first post, looks way better!
