Uhh he\'s kinda a dev!!! *rolls on the floor laughing*

Yes they look amasing as the others said. A little blocky around the edges but I\'m guessing it\'s cuz you need a low poly count.

Thanks for the comments.

Exactly Sarrow.
It\'s a pack sold for 50$.

I offered them for PS freely, but Talad declined :)

wow that wasn\'t the smartest move declining such beautiful work, will he come to regret this decision only time shall tell ^^
Title:
Post by: Talad on April 10, 2005, 11:13:56 pm
The reason I\'ve declined is because we need original art. That pack will be sold to other games/projects and I don\'t want to have in PS the same weapons of 30 other games. We can be more original and more unique. That was the reason.

Post by: DepthBlade on April 10, 2005, 11:15:04 pm
aha he sold it, that I did not pick up on...well I guess you made a good choice either last thing you need is other game developers accusing you of stealing stuff.
Title:
Post by: Djaggernaut on April 11, 2005, 01:29:56 am
There\'s no accusing, it\'s an art pack, and like any art pack anyone can  buy it for his/her game.
If I would have sold it in exclusivity, it would cost something like 2500$.

BTW, this is why we did a weapon pack, because all the medieval weapons are always similar. With a different setting, different characters and environnement, noone would ever notice the origin.

But that\'s my opinion :p

I dont want to looks like if I miss the respect I have to show in front of my prefered developpers but if it\'s not for April 1st and if it\'s really sold, is it really a place to broadcast it?
I mean PS is the image of the free videogames, one of the best one. Is it really a good idea to advertise your products here?

I recognize these weapons are really beautiful (the word Ive in my head is: \"magnifique\" but at 2:00am I cant find the translation). And you already know Djagg I like you. So you dont have to feel you have something to defend: it\'s not a reproach, just a question (of a man who really would like to see these weapons in Yliakum...). And if your answer is you are ok with that point or not doesnt matter, you will be  right and I\'ll keep on supporting you (translation : pour etre sur que je ne dise pas le contraire de ce que je souhaite dire... (? cette heure-ci... la fatigue ambiante n\'aidant point...) peu importe ta r?ponse, je serais du meme avis que toi et tu as mon soutien).

The problem is the following : I share equality ideas and if you advertise here I dunno why noone else could be allowed to do the same... but I dont want to see advertising on Yliakum... (have you ever been on internet these last times ? lycos for example ?)

I\'m waiting for your opinion... and in fact Ill wait in my bed cause Im too tired...

EDIT : I precise: in my mind the problem isnt the broadcasting of the pictures but the fact there is ad.
Title:
Post by: Djaggernaut on April 11, 2005, 02:09:47 am
Fken: simple answer, this is not advertising at all cause I seriously doubt anyone here would be interested in buying it. :)

I\'m just showing my art stuff like others do here. Nothing more ;)

I\'d buy it definately, if I had a game and if I had a choise of paying lazy 3d artists to do whole weapon pack in a month or just buy a pack for 2500.

Although I also agree with originality of games.   Many games invent their own weapons, especially if it\'s medieval fantasy, not simply medieval

As always Djagg, simply spectacular.  The details look very sharp.  Stupendous job on making them look worn.  You\'re always so good at that.  You must have use 512 texture sheets?  Did you make any other maps other than the diffuse?  Is the lighting on those in the diffuse texture, or are they dynamically lit?

I especially like the double axes and pole axe.

Sashok-boy: what dya mean with lazy 3d artists?
And yes games can invent fantasy weapons, but such pack is perfect for additional weapons (for NPC, environement, etc..)


Arcane-boy: thanks dude. Yah it\'s 512 texture, better bigger than smaller. No other maps, it\'s only diffuse of course.
 It\'s rendered with Brazil, so there is almost no bad shadows or light like with the defaut renderer.

Those models with self illumination at 100 would look the same.

some of the items dont seem original. for instance, the dragon on a sheild has been used MANY times before
Title:
Post by: Moogie on April 11, 2005, 02:09:45 pm
That\'s the point. These items are completely generic, so that they can be used for nearly any type of medieval-based game.

I\'m just wondering why you didn\'t put  all this effort into making in game weapons... you\'ve cheated on the planeshift community for your lust of the green stuff. Sellout. :P

Anyhow, I hope you make lots of money.  :]

Now go make shtuff! now! I commands it! :3

Post by: fken on April 11, 2005, 03:49:53 pm
Im wondering if Talad would be against if these weapons were used as a base a kind of source for ps weapon. I\'m meaning people (3d designer from ps) could use them adding some originals things...
I personaly think there isnt enough weapon in ps so maybe is it a solution...

Djagg can use them to create new ps weapon off course

Well I mean if I had a team of game devs let\'s say and my 3d artist team gets a monthly paycheck, it\'s obvious it\'s in their interest to stretch time and come up with similar weapon pack months in advance.  I would have to pay them much more than I would have to pay you for example.  That\'s why they are lazy :D  
(I\'m not using real definition of lazy here, since I assume they are very capable of completing something similar and anyone who can do this is certainly not lazy)

Post by: DepthBlade on April 11, 2005, 09:51:40 pm
But really are the original weapons of Planeshift going to be so superb compared to these? How different can you make a weapon without making it look really stupid? It might as well accept something like these because these days only way to gain original status on things like this is to change the colors, most stuff has been put out there already :P
Title:
Post by: Emaib on April 11, 2005, 10:01:36 pm
I think the weapons look great, but .....

maybe we could make a PS contest of building PS like textures for them, so they dont look like all others and get great for PS.

Whats about that ?
