Title: Bow & Arrow (Devs, Will This Work?)
Post by: Zeraph on May 11, 2004, 02:37:46 pm

Devs: I am wondering if your going to use Cal3D to animate bendy weapons like Bow & Arrow?

Well I spent most of yesterday working on a bow & arrow & Exporting it to Cal3D.
I didn?t really texture map it very well, if you get a message saying ?String.tga Missing? in 3DsMax Ignore it because it is not used?

Anyways, Here it is:

----> Polycount: Bow:140, Arrow:16 (3DsMax ?Faces?) Click to see another render? (http://www.geocities.com/zeraphsimagehost/?BowsAndArrowsHD.jpg)
Do you think the Arrow looks good considering the polycount?

Edit: UpDated Link, you can download it now...
The pictures look good, but you probably want to see what it will look like in-game, if it is used so download the second file & run ?Cal3D (preview).exe? after extracting all the file. It will not work without the other files except the 3DsMax ones?

Download:
3DsMax Files only (255Kb):

3DsMax + A preview of what it might look like ingame(1Mb):

Devs, you need to DL the preview to get the cal3d files & animations to test ingame, 3DsMax/Other 3DProgram not required...
WinRaR (http://rarlabs.com/) needed?

Do you like it? Arrow Texture is extremely small...

Edit: I updated link so you can Download it now?

I like the shape of the arrow (regardless of the poly-count). Its slim and pointy shaft gives it a dangerous look, as does the feather (?).
The colouring is a little strange though - have you try a classic brown texture yet?

The bow seems to be a little too hefty... not to flexible looking

What about this?

This will probably look good in game because I do not think that many people will have time to stop & admire an arrow?s texture while it?s flying towards them.. :D

& well it?s version 1.0, sorta based on fanart? It is had making look like this, possibly a texture will make it look better.
