Such an AMAZING sword. It\'s SO amazing I cant even recognize that as a \"sword\".  The blade resembles something like \"Image Hosted by TRIPOD\". Perhaps those are Magical Runes? Besides, is this the blade?

Dude, get another server =)

[Elentor]

well, somehow I managed, with my H4X0RRZ 5|<1LLZZ to break the stupid image security of Tripod and download the sword into my HD. It\'s a  GREAT job.

It is hard to tell if the comment is sarcastic or not... and i have been having problems setting up my page. sorry for the inconvennience.

[Elentor]

No, it\'s not sarcastic. It\'s really good.

[stickman]

it looks good. but i think u might have used too many polygons


... how do u put textures on the sword?

[Spartan8]

I don\'t really make my models to be low poly. If i did that they would look horrible. Things like the hand gaurd wold look like crooked metal and the blade would begin to lose the flowing look and the pomel would begin to look faceted. it would take the best texturing in the would to hide those flaws.

To texture i just used MAX 4.2. I also cheated a little and used the premade metal textures, But i did have to chang displacement blending illumination etc. then i just used the default renderer.

If i did get on the team(I will be applying soon) i would workon either cut scenes or buildings and such.

really nice, i especially like the blade.  To me it looks like it would be a ......\"fancy\" thing that i wouldnt actually want to get messy by stabbing something  

Another thing, whats up with the \"More Photos\" section of your page, its just a mess (to me at least).

[Spartan8]

uh yeah about that. i started th page just so i could post stuff here on the board, but when that did not work i just started refering peopl to the site. I really have been doing too much work on other stuff to try to fix it.

What kind and sweet words! I think the Oracle is one of the finest guys in the forum.

[Spartan8]

Well i finally updated my site. I added a voulge and a nice pic of my last sword but it is the whole thing. and for those of you that dont know what a voulge is you will just have to check it out. and thanks for the compliments oracle

[Siegemaker]

well, the sword looks good, but the axe or voulge looks like I would break the dang thing.

[MagiBountyHunter]

Dude i think your voulge is a pike isnt it or it could be a really long axe but sometimes there are a few different names for weapons like that but wheree did you get the name for it... wait never mind i remeber sorry.  Hey but it looks great.

A voulge is a weapon that came from farm tools originaly designed to trim trees and other unreachable plants. It has a 7-8 foot long pole so that the person using it had the extra leverage to cleave through an oponents armor. The are often times refered to as halberds though so that might be where the confusion came from.
