Greetings fellow Planeshifters.
To ArcaneFalcon: Nothing wrong with the falcons\' sight; the items were added with the new flowers. Personally i don\'t like the cones. They\'re too dark and too angular. At first i didn\'t think them as real models, just something to fill the floor with, but now that you mentioned it, i gave them a label.
To Nikolia: Thanks! I hope the tutorial helps someone someday. It doesn\'t tell that much though, so one can always ask if problems arise. I haven\'t been doing weapons for some time, i think they\'ll propably have everything under that category that they need for now. I made a battle hammer once, it should still be somewhere around here... Ah, found it. Well, now that you asked, i got an inspiration (while looking at your signature) and made some friends for the hammer.
Ps. If you like katanas, i strongly recommend checking out FredrikH\'s posts! Eg.

Hammer - one of my early models. Heavy hammer was originally a working tool, for clearing out unwanted buildings and such. Later on some burly adventurers adapted it to combat use. In the battlefield, heavy hammer is a grim sight and can devastate an unweary enemy with single swing. It has earned its respect by the exceptional ability to mold metal into shapeless rubble. A heavy hammer is best suited for those who find themselves battling against heavily armored enemy. Due to lack of blades, which often get dull with time, the hammer also has good durability. Its drawbacks are slow attack speed and high strength and experience requirement. Texture seems to be a 256*128 jpg.
Shield - Engraved kite shield. Made of solid metal plate pressed into form of kite. Kite shields offer good protection while sacrificing only a little mobility. Usually worn by swordsmen on their free hand. Used texture is 128*256 tga.
Titan axe - The titan Belisarius walked forward. After defeating most of the nation single handedly, the horrid creature was thought to be invincible in combat. Horses were thrown into air, with armoured knights still sitting on their backs, as the titans massive axe swung from side to side. No matter how many spears hung in Belisarius\' hulking body, its trek could not be stopped. The bloodbath saw no end until Knight lord Bradley, raged from the loss of all his brothers, charged towards Belisarius totally unarmed. Titans snotty laugh echoed over the bloody plains only seconds before the Knight lord managed to ply the titan axe from Belisarius\' hand and cleaved his skull open. (note: history knows Belisarius Flavius as a Byzantine general.)
I imagined the titan axe to be just an ordinary axe, with exceptional size. Its weight and size prevents any lesser beings from using it, and even very strong humans have trouble wielding it. Although titans may have used this as single handed weapon, humans and their kin certainly have to grab it with both hands. Needless to say, weapon inflicts tremendous damage, should it ever hit a target. The weapon rack on the back wall shows the axes intended size. 256*512 tga Texture.
Cleaver - Another type of axe with a long single-edge blade. Shape of the blade proves that this is purely a combat weapon. Judging from the color, looks like it is made of refined steel. Although much lighter than the previous axe, this too is intended to be a two-handed weapon. In battle, it is pretty swift for an axe of its size, and still delivers a considerable punch. One should avoid heavily armored enemies though, as the axes reduced weight also reduces its armor piercing ability. I wasn\'t completely satisfied with the wooden shaft, it looked too weak, so i changed it to metal one. Texture is 128*256 tga.
Ok, that\'s enough weapons for this year, let\'s all be really nice from now on. We don\'t want to anger Santa, no we don\'t!
Ps. I added some textures to my older posts, such as the butterflies and herbs, see pages 2 and 3 if you\'re interested.
