Title: yet another sword
Post by: Cyl on January 16, 2006, 08:44:22 pm

I guess it is fashion for everyone to post a sword here every now and then, so yeah my claymore (and no I strongly doubt that it is usable, considering that it has about 444 Polys...)

/me likes the claymore

What comes to my mind when I look at it is simple, and sleek.

Why so many polys?  If the detail is in the blade, can\'t you make the blade more flat and let the texture come out in the skin?

Indeed, a good blade can be made of less than half the amount of polys :) Is it just me and my lack of long exposure to blades, or does the crossguard seem a bit small? Probably the former. I\'m also curious about seeing more of the hilt texture :3

Yeah normally claymores have bigger crossguards... not that much bigger, but it\'s just a little slight thingy you know? :D but hey, it\'s a beauty :d

Well I actually could cut it down to half without loosing details..

But I dont feel like it, considering that it wont be used for anything, anyway.
