Ok, this is sorta inspired by Cirque\'s signature.
I just modeled various Ninja Stars out of cylinders with different levels of detail & no smoothing:

So Yellow#4 is 6x4=24tri, sounds like food coloring...
I still have to texture map & texture them.
I will release the collection after I texture them...

Which ones look the best? It could be a good weapon for thoughs studying ?Martial Arts Skills *under construction* (http://www.planeshift.it/player_skills.html)? (@ bottom)

Finished now:

Cool as. I like a few of them. The 2 middle red ones, the 1st 3 yellow, the 1st green one and the 1st 3 blue.

Glad my sig could be of some inspiration.

Title: I think I made a winning texture:

I dont think many people know this but throwing stars where only ever used to kill by 2 Ninjas. they where mainly used to create a diatraction for them to escape.By making a loud thumping sound when they hit a wall or something then they would run in the other direction while the chasers investgated the sound....but who cares throwing stars are coool!
Looking great!

I remember reading something about them being used as a warning. To say were coming for you. Although this doesnt sound very ninja. Its possible that im thinking of throwing knives used by mafia types.

Which would also be cool to see (throwing knives I mean, not the mafia).

lol shows how much you guys know about ninjas... The shurikens they used most people think they resemble the 4th blue model inactual fact they were little more than thrown daggers only one end was sharp and the other end wasnt the ninjas had strict code about how they were suppose to be used and any more than 1 point on it meant that the ninja was an amature they had a strict honour code.... Yes the ninjas had a honour code lol there swords were Ninjatsus.. Basically a katana that is double edged and has a straight blade.

edit: opps i went off topic and forgot to mcomment on the models.. Nice work on those models i prefer the blue to the others although 2 of the green ones are nice
