Looks really good better than i thought it might be. The handle is what really brings it out. great job.

the only problem with that sword is that the blade is too thin, if it were real it would break when swung, but other than that it does look really nice specialy the red gem. Its simplicity is what makes it so good too many people want swords to look all flashy when they dont need to be.

i added a little detail to the sword... and what do you mean to thin... from its side it looks fine... i think you meant not wide enough...

Anything along the lines of tripod as well, they are all simple, and since u dun really need anything fency for this.

Tripod (http://www.tripod.lycos.com/)

P.S. did not realize stuff has been posted about that already, but having more choices is always good. :D

Post by: Zig on July 20, 2002, 09:42:47 am

yeah thats what i was saying. If that were a real sword and you swung that thing at someone when they blocked it with a shield or something that thing would eather bend or snap off depending on the elasticity of the metal it is made from. so yeah i  guess what i am saying is make the ficking blade bigger befor it breaks off and stabs someone in the eye.  :D

Post by: DeadlyPencil on July 20, 2002, 06:37:28 pm

......... i suggest you pick up a metal object, lets say a fire poker and try to break that on something metal... it aint gonna bend or snap, it aint made of aluminum or tin

Post by: DeadlyPencil on July 20, 2002, 07:27:24 pm

? it looks fine to me. the blade is about twice the width of the handle, which is just about right i think.

i think uve been playing to much FF7 ... (blades dont actaully come that wide

Plus it looks like it is one handed, and the blade is already pretty long, so if u made it any wider it would be to heavy swing fast.

Post by: Zig on July 21, 2002, 06:12:38 am

have you actualy ever really used a sword? i train my self with one just about every week if i get time. The blade on my sword is shorter and wider that that thing would be and i have already had to re bend it 3 times this year. If you just barely swing the sword you will be fine but if you swing as hard as i do then it wont last you an hour. Plus long swords incase you dont know are really heavy because the blades weigh more than a broad sword or short sword. the tip\'s angle is too slow too. I dont know maybe i am being to critical but i actualy make real swords so i cant help it. if the sword was really thick in the middle it would work but it wouldnt cut things that well if it were as thick as it would need to be to be strong enough. good job on the hilt though, lol i havnt masterd making handles yet so i cant really say much about it.


ps fire pokers bend when you hit things with them too, lol i was born in the wrong time period

Post by: TheGeneral on July 21, 2002, 06:21:15 am

AH, i dun think a single person here is ACTUALY here to play this game for realism. Why would one need games that are like real LIFE, what IS the POINT? I think, and KNOW that ppl are here for the great looks that this game has, and graphics. This is where that comes in, i would much rather use a \"fake\" sword, than that, that looks like a piece of \"poo\" just cuase it\'s real!

P.S. the swords that you use now, and \"train\" yourself with, are not your actual swords that would be seen in your \"normal\" middle ages!

ok... there now you can accually see the thickness and its almost as thick as the handle... are you still going to say that its going to snap and go back to playing ff7 or are you going to shut up

actualy the swords that i make are almost exact replicas of those in the mideval times. I have supplyed many of the renaissance fairs that come here every year. Its hard work to forge steel have you ever tried. As far as realism is concerned i know its not supposed to be exactaly real but the laws of physics should still apply. but you couldnt possibaly understand the importance of a good quality sword till you actualy used one in real life. I play the games because the realm that i wish to be in is no longer here other than in the minds and hearts of people like me.

ps that other image that you did does give the sword the strenght it would need but it would only be good a piercing type attacks such as rapiers are because when you slashed at something the tip would bend or break off. but it is youre sword from you own imagination so you can make it be how ever you want for it to be even if all it would be good for it looking at.

hello everybody, I just joined this forum today but I have been checking up on the games progress for a while now

as how everyone seems to be modeling swords and stuff I thought I\'d give it a go

so here\'s my first model ever and my contribution to the world of crappy swords  ;)

Post by: Zig on July 22, 2002, 12:09:03 am

that would make a really good sword for a hobbit to use or something around that size. I agree the blade does need to be longer because of the size of the hilt but other than that its really good

I wanted to post some pics of my own because i want input (obviously) and because i saw how critical some people are being i should make it clear that i am not going for realism, cause it is easier to make stuff look cool.

I think there is only one guy here that complains about realism, the rest want to see cool weapons :] ....so post away :D

P.S. if that was your pic, it does not work, all i see is a red X

Post by: Zig on July 22, 2002, 06:33:08 pm

thats a really good sword now, you gave the blade good texture too. That type of sword is typical of the defender modle. Its a good sword used to defend off sword attack and then strike while the oppent\'s guard is down, dont worry about the hand guards being too big the sword is perfect the way it is. They say that offence is the best defence, maybe in chess but in combat with swords thats not true it better be patient and defend more than to go wild and strike repeatedly.
