Title: The Persian Sword
Post by: nightwolfz on May 24, 2004, 08:43:54 pm

Base model, I think it had like 150-200 polygons.

And now the (almost) final textured model ^^

You mean a Scimitar?
In that case, I think it should be a bit more rounded to the back, and that the end of it should be wider.


It looks really good though.

You should make that pic a bit brighter.
Looks good from what I *can* see however.

It looks like you have a bunch of general mess in your mesh, like overlapping polys and such.  I don\'t know if you were trying to make it look like something by doing that, but it\'s just coming out messy.  The texture looks like it cooould be something, at some parts, but the mesh is so jumbled up it\'s hard to tell.

Making the blade lighter really makes the blade look better. But the handle looks a bit too light now. Also, on the last render (not the wireframe one) you can see a seam going all the way from the bottom to the top of your blade.

I believe there are errors are in the triangulation.  Everything get\'s rendered down to triangles, and there are some areas where the triangulation is causing distortion.  I\'m not sure if there is a triangulation modifier in MAX to let you check that stuff, but I know I have a plug-in modifier that will triangulate and help reduce poly counts on a mesh as well.  In any case, you\'ll still want to check this, since that\'s what the real poly-count of the object will be when rendered in-game.

Some of it could just be distortion on the mapping as well though.

About the unwrap, its really bad...look at all the white space you\'ve left in the image.

Another persian sword, but much heavier then the first one, first one was speed based, this one is made to do lots of damage.

Heh I still need to smooth and texture it, then it might look cool.

btw, can PS support bump mapping and normal mapping?

Firstly, it can be spelt in both ways, and both are equally valid. Secondly, don\'t b*tch, they differ only in origin. :P

Proof for 1:

Now let\'s stop the nitpicking about spelling and let the artist work his magic. ;)
