Weapon modelling

[Nikodemus]

You texture it

Can't do it, not enough data ;P

Unfortunately it has a relatively high polycount at 368 but here's a recurve hunting bow.

Sacrifice the round quality. A small item like that, especially when textured, can look around even if it only has 5 sides.

[RayvenD]

I'll probably just model another bow, that one took all of 5 mins. I'm experimenting with different ways of modelling bows to find one i like. I'm big into archery IRL so i want to do justice to the bow.

That bow seemed extremely unusable to me.If i would take it in hand it looked like the string would be at my wrist.And as anyone who has shot a bow can imagine that would be uncomfortable.Other than that though its pretty good.You seem to have a knack for polearms.Especialy loved the highpoly two-sided mace.
Also could you model a lute.Its one of those old guitar like instruments most often used by bards.That would be awesome to have ingame.

[RayvenD]

Already modelled a lute, and actually that bow is unstrung. I dont know if you know but a bow changes shape when you string it. That's modelled on a recurve bow I own which at the time had no string on it

anyone here works as freelancer weapon modelers ? I have project which requires a good weapon modeler. can earn some $$$ 

[sharj]

I dont mind the bow actually. if it could be coded in to have mesh changes for like /draw sword and /sheath sword so you can have you sword displayed on your model as sheathed, and of course when you enter a combat stance it automatically draws them. and then /unstring bow   

do dwarves in planeshift follow the typical fantasy stereotype of having access to blackpower? if so maybe they can use this:
