[Wepean] Broad Sword

[Gartley]

I'd be willing to attempt texturing the sword for you if you've finished modelling it. Either fling me a UV template or if you've yet to do the UVmap the model itself.

@halb, I'm willing to give it a go but I can't promise anything. That gun might be a bit to complicated for me ^^

Pretty cool weapon. Gl to all involved.

Gartley, gimme a chance to find the model again (I've had to do some major file restructuring in the last month, so this could get interesting ) and I'll send it your way.

Mate if this is in beta/release then please hit me up! I have been waiting for this bad boy since you released the information.

Right now its merely a mesh. I was going to animate it and code it, but BD's tutorials faltered, which slowed my anim research, and without anims or textures its not worth coding... and a busy schedule means i just haven't had time to do it anyways Anyone with time who wants to finish it off, ask - the model my friend made is brilliant, and I'd love to see it in game, whether or not i did any part of it XD

 

[Gartley]

The animations are not to hard to do, nor is exporting them into the SDK. The only problem would be the 3rd person animations. There is no way (that I've found) of creating and using custom ones. So it'd probably have to use something like the flamer anims or something.

Hey Meatwadjenkins,

I've started to do some texture work, while that's under way I thought I'd give you some feedback on your modelling.

For your first project it isn't to shabby, certainly a good start. One of the issues I've found;

There a number of untidy parts in the modelling. For example on the hilt.

Spoiler!

In particular on top,

Spoiler!

You've got approx 18 faces, this could be just 1. Also it seems to be one complete element rather than made up of separate parts.

Keep up the good work. =)

 

[Gartley]

First pass of the texture. Will add some more details as time goes on.

Spoiler!

Looks good You got my M249 model email right? Just checkin.

Yep, got it ok. =)

Sorry I didn't know that you where posting your work here! I thought you where going to send me a private message but I guess that this is ok. Sorry about the model faults i guess i should have cleaned up a bit better.

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.

*Cough*

Gartley posted a broadsword, Candle posted an -arming- sword.

True longswords are what the public calls a "bastard" sword, a sword that could be used in one or two hands, depending on the situation.

 

[halbridious]

it could be an arming sword, your right. Depends on how big the blade is (hard to tell in the pic, but i think ur right ) Bastard swords are actually differnt than longswords (its actually only the handle design thats different).
*Also a blade nut *

 

[Meatwadjenkins]

Sorry progress has been slow I have had some computer problems and had to restart but now I am back to speed and hopefully will wrap this project up soon because I have a new amazing project to work on.

Please give links to these other swords, I wanna download and use them also!

 

[halbridious]

They were just pics... Not models...

It's not ready yet so be patient.

Update!

Update!

So we made some progress and we are another step closer to finishing the project thanks to braindead and his very helpful information. He help me understand how exactly I was going to import and re-animate the sword animations. ​

lol talk about impatient, it's been not even a day of him releasing some information. He'll release information when he can like he has previously
