Post by: ArcaneFalcon on September 25, 2005, 11:08:14 pm: I count 100, and that\'s just the ones I can pick out from the facets (and doesn\'t even begin to count the handle, which has tons in it). Even counting quads you don\'t come up with 24...

It seems like more and more people seem to be focusing on models themself and not the textures. IMO the best swords (especially for MMO\'s) are the ones with minimal exageration on the model. Just a basic sword design, but with very good realistic texture.

Every sword I see by someone new in 3d design has all these spikes, razors and cool nifty little doo-dads, but they aren\'t pulled off due to either unrealistic design, or the fact they have no good texture to compliment them.

Come on people, it isn\'t all model design. :|

Gravalden could have added a patina to the gold parts of his sword, but I think it looks pretty sweet otherwise. It looks like it\'s two handed, and as such could be a bit longer.

Post by: JellyWerker on October 21, 2005, 06:52:40 am: and for those of us that can hardly texture above the \"paint\" level? Although buying a tablet would help me immensely... /me hoards for a few more years :D

Post by: ArcaneFalcon on October 21, 2005, 10:34:08 am: Jelly, texturing isn\'t a skill you have to be born with. You practice it. If the \"paint\" level is where you\'ve been for the past year, then I\'d say you haven\'t been practicing for a year. Also, there are no magic tools that will help you texture better. Yes, tablets are sweet, but if you suck at texturing with a mouse, you\'ll suck at it with a tablet too. You know what I think would be appropriate here? This (http://www.poopinmymouth.com/tutorial/money_mouth.htm). Put up, or shut up (not to be rude, I\'m quoting a line from that article).
