Post by: xymae on February 27, 2004, 07:47:46 pm

Yes, i know, i\'ve posted it already on Lww, but i wish to know what do You ppl think about it. The links:

Normal version ( not usable ingame ) [ ~800 ]
No textures, just max materials.

I honestly think that sword would be a pain in the rear to fight with, since the weightpoints are located all wrong. And it\'s too short for my taste. But it\'s definitely not bad. :)

But hey! It\'s a game! No need for realism critics. :D

Edit: Just curious... Doesn\'t that sword look just a bit like the one Abemore uses in his sig?

Those swords are exactly the same, down to the very last detail (such as the spikey end of the hilt :P). I take it xymae got his inspiration from the sig.

yes the name of the sword is kilogrin, in some game... the name eludes me but the sword overall is a very nice one, one that I use in a morrowind plugin VERY often. Nice design on the sword, especially for the polycount.

i know the sword is in a game somewhere. not just a morrowind mod but an actual sword from a game. Its quite nice looking and as you can see the designer of the swords sure knows how to market.

I dont understand You. What sig? Where?

Abemore uses a pic of that sword as his sig:

(http://members.cox.net/abemore/sig.jpg)

anyways, I still think you did a pretty nice job on making that sword, it looks a lot like the original(a bit to much some people might say ;) ). but I think everything that would be used in planeshift has to be unique. there are so many swords like this already, you can\'t really call it unique ;)

Title:
Post by: xymae on February 29, 2004, 12:58:39 pm

Nice sig, but i saw it first time now :)

As i wrote i modeled from that pic:
http://www.weaponmasters.com/index.html?ID=11c15e30f22b8e16979f76b822eb4d36&ITEM=UC-1239

Is all becouse i cant draw, so i must model from some pic or something.

lovely modeling, subject matter is a lil common (they sell those swords at the \"King of knives\" down the road from me), and I got roped into using one in the emblem of one of my freinds utterly over-serious bands

love the work though you captured that swords true (if overused) essense

lovely :)

That sword is a part of the collection of swords called \"the swords of the ancients\" designed by fantasy artist and writer Kit Rae..
