Pyritie: Make the material two-sided and reduce the poly count. At the moment the hilt especially has too many polies. You can use a 4-sided cylinder instead of a 12-sided one, for example.

Pyritie: Changes not made, resource rejected. If you ever get around to fixing this, feel free to PM me and ask me to set it back to Pending so you can update it.

Extremely long blades FOR THE WIN!

 

[D a w n]

the model itself looks fine, but I don´t think that a custom texture is needed ,because there are so many good metal textures ingame which could work very well.
I also think that he poly count could be a bit lower for such a simple weapon.
And the sword seems a bit too long.( I would make it 20% shorter)

 

[robot-dude]

I'll have a look at ingame textures and mess around with the texture , and also i will reduce the length of the blade.

 

[Devine]

highpoly .....

 

[robot-dude]

Its not bad tho. 210 Polys.

Seen a few range from 200 - 700 polys

 

[HappyTauren]

Yes, but those had some detail put into them. What you are doing is blatantly putting multiple segments where you should never do >.>

 

[robot-dude]

Only thing that made my model high poly was the handle. Because i used shapes to create them.

Plus going to upload updated one now, and going to redo the handle soon.

The blade i did one side, and duplicated and formed it together sure thats multiplying but the blade is only 30 polys, and the handle is 180 Polys

 

[Ghost765]

a regular sword, heres a cookie.

 

[Nikola97]

Great sword

It is great.A go0d desing but a dont get why it is not good to be long. A like long swords it goes whit blademaster of eny tupe.When a can rate al give it 5\5,

 

[HappyTauren]

The handle can be done in less than 50 triangles, so shut up and fix it.

If you looked at my post it said i'm going to redo "The Handle" so i can reduce the polys -_-. so please look carefully, and stop ranting ok ?

I'm going re-update the handle as soon as i get back from notts.

lol, you just got ffed in the A.
+Rep to the one that silenced HT.

 

[Jack_Sparrow93]

Looks like a normal sword, and thats the best

Good job!

 

[robot-dude]

Ok i've reduced the polys from 210 to 124.

I hope the poly size now is ok

 

[TheBlooddancer]

It is.

 

[HappyTauren]

It's still horribly overpolied. What's it, a 12 or 16 sided cylinders? You wouldn't use that many even in oblivion.

 

[hellblazer-14]

Come on HT, cut the man some slack.
Everyone agrees it's a good and useful model, and the poly count is fine.
You know, this site would get a lot further if people didn't constantly criticise the same work over and over... I mean fine, you said that he needs to raise the polies and he did, and then you keep complaining... gee :S
and don't take this the wrong way, I'm just saying what I think, not aimed towards annoying or "dissing" you.

It's not like your going to have hundreds of these on the screen at any time, so...
Anyway, I'm pretty sure the swords in Oblivion have a poly count over 124 -.-
more like 1,240 polies

Great Work Robot Dude. The Model has a nice bit of detail, looks fairly realistic and fits well. Hope you make some more models, you're beginning to become skilled

 

[HappyTauren]

hellblazer, you are a modeler? No? Shut up then. He's wasting triangles on things he shouldn't, so the thing looks smooth. And I HATE IT.

 

[hellblazer-14]

Am correction, I AM a modeller
And everyone else likes it, and the polies don't have any effect ingame, nor on the file size, which is quiet small.

Why do you hate things smooth D:

 

[HappyTauren]

Because:
They make a modeler look like a noobass.
Is useless.
Can stand out at sometimes.
Higher file size.

And hellblazer, you need to create 3 unit models to be considered a modeler.

 

[TheBlooddancer]

Cut a bit of the handle, and use it to make the sword long again <( ^^ )>

 

[hellblazer-14]

You've got me there

 

[Serbianbeast]

handle looks really high poly... You might want to fix that

 

[TheBlooddancer]

Handle is also to thick. It doesnt fit in the hand.

 

[Falconeye]

Simple and effective. But it should be shortened up a bit.

 

[oh_snap]

I actually agree with HappyTauren. If it's possible to reduce polies further, isn't it common sense to do it? People really take criticism too personally, when if you actually listen to it, you will get better. And then you guys destructively criticize HT, when all he is trying to do is help robot-dude.

I am still re-doing the handle as we speak.

 

[onisaiyan808]

It's a little big, lengthwise and widthwise.

 

[Misha]

So the later (HT) wants the handle as a square? that might actually be pretty good, if not for his ranting. oO i mean really HT..... oO this should now be aproved JUST because you don't like it ^^

Anyway, i would suggest that you kinda make the whole sword smaller, that would fix the handle thickness and the blade lenght. And yea...... do try to lower the handle pollies ^^

~Misha~

 

[TheBlooddancer]

Well, i would like it if it were more bad-ass and longer. Long blades ftw! Else its just.. A sword..

Wiking swords are to be a bit bulky and short, but not too much ^^

 

[TheBlooddancer]

-Im Danish. We invented Vikings.

 

[bigboss]

hmmm looks like a ordinary sword to me

 

[olofmoleman]

Looks too big and too long, the skin is also a little plain, otherwize it looks nice.

 

[Ghost765]

is it just me or did it get longer?

 

[DerBuuhmann]

good one^^
