[Wepean] Broad Sword

Broad Sword ​

Ok so me and my brother are working on this new project. So far its the bare bones. But I need your opinion on how it will look. So take a look and comment. (I am sort a newcomer in modeling so don't be to harsh)

I have found a texture artist (Gartley) that I have a lot of faith in and is currently working of the project.

Programming is underway and results will soon follow! We hope to get this done so you can enjoy the fruits of our labor.

NEW TEXTURE! Gartleys first pass texture with some modifications

​

Post a comment saying what you think about the new texture!​

And BAM like that this project is shot out of the water.. Which might be a good thing. Go to the Killing Floor website and check out the new load out and you can see the professional sword in plain sight. Here check it out your self! http://www.killingfloorthegame.com/

I prefer the second myself. That guard makes it look a bit more ornate. I've just done a melee weapon myself, so if you get stuck, give me a shout. =)

The model looks good. Have its alt attack be 50/50 chance of being either an overhand chop as one power attack or a two-hand thrust (stab) as the other attack. That would be dope.

:IS2:

Prefer number 2, but think the pieces parallel to the blade could be bent out just a bit, thats the only thing that snags my attention. Also, the handle won't really be seen much, but make sure the top of the handle and bottom flare into the pommel and crosspiece - so many models annoy me because they're designed like the sword is assembly lined, with the handle screwed into the crosspiece and the pommel glued on or something... Not that that giant thing needs much realism tho
One sweet thing you could do is where the flair out is on the blade, make a pair of small cutouts. Fun, ornate, makes the blade interesting.

What are the spec & features & advantage of this sword?

Only getting the look of the weapon at moment (which they stated) so wont have details on rest yet.

 

[Gartley]

And does it matter? Have some fun =P

My only criticism would be that for a broadsword it's not very broad - needs to be longer I think.

 

[CandleJack]

Just a tip, a narrower and longer blade would work better.

Something more like this:

Though broader by a bit, since it's still a broadsword.

 

[Gartley]

It'll be fine, it's fairly close to a broad sword if a little thick.
An actual broadsword

Spoiler!

Would you mind putting previous versions in a spoiler? I'm sure we'll all like to be able watch it evolve.

 

[halbridious]

Lol, i figured he was going for the over the top, manga bad-@$$ style sword A real broadsword is just like what Gartley posted (Candle's suggestion is a "longsword" if anyone cares to differentiate ) Anyway, the cutouts did make it look even more over the top Thinning overall width by, maybe a 1/4th?, between the top of the flare and the area where the tip starts forming might make the sword feel longer.

This sword will hold the Eye of Thundera?
Give me sight beyond sight!

Thunder, thunder, thunder, THUNDER CATS HOOOOOO!

yeah

yeah

I am just trying to make a bad *** broad sword. If it looks like any existing sword its unintentional! I love the comments you guys are putting. You guys just made my day.

 

[halbridious]

This personally feels more like... IDK... i get a serious manga vibe from big swords, or Final Fantasy (cloud strife swings some pretty large blades ) As long as you get it textured well it'll be fun...

Now we need to add teh advent children sword for fun, and a cloud skin (GOD, THAT MODEL WOULD KILL ME)

I think it's safe to say...keep this weapon away from him!

 

[Meatwadjenkins]

Help!?!?!

Help!?!?!

If you didn't read it I NEED a texture aritist to texture this weapon for me. Don't let this die out if you can help. You would let peoples dreams DIEEEE.

Put out the same call for my m249 - its still untextured, 2 people have it but never worked on it. (not actually mine, my friend did the model, and i'll do the code, but until that txture comes in theres no point in me doing the code...)

Oh man. I am horrible at texturing!!!!!!! I guess its my only hope though...

Oh my...you're still not got a texturer for the gun?! I've been waiting for pretty much nothing then
