Shadow Blaze Posted April 3, 2005 Share Posted April 3, 2005 Those look great Mav. The writing on it just looks cool and fits the rest of the hilt nicely too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
envida Posted April 4, 2005 Share Posted April 4, 2005 Great work on those models mav, looks stunning Makes me wish I could model, but my knowledge with modeling goes as far as importing the model in gmax after that Im as lost as you can be But no need when you and rest of the modelers on this site pump new cool hilts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
General Kenobi Posted April 4, 2005 Share Posted April 4, 2005 Originally posted by maverick187 The following screenie is just something I was playing around with for Darth Melignous, it's basically the same saber with a new paint scheme Nomi Sunrider Hilt Adaption - 281kb Keep in mind that both the textures, hilt and blade were done in about 30 seconds combined so, if I were to actually release this I would have to figure out a way for the yellow writing to be a little more visible against the metallic parts of the hilt, and the green glow would need to be changed it looks too much like an easter pastel color right now, anyway, just somethi0ng to look at , besides these are very simple changes that could be made by anybody with photoshop or another .tga supported paint program anyway, so I figure you guys and gals do what you want to it after I release it anyway, I know Darkkender is going to make it purple and blue... lol Oh and @ Lion54, ChAiNz is 100% correct, not part of the USM, just compatible... if he chooses it to be Mav, This is EXACTLY the look of her saber :) :) "in my best charleston heston voice" The lord taketh and Maverick giveth!!! Seriously though your saber looks $!@#$ AWESOME with Nomi's saber blade colors. It is official you are now my hero Would love to download it if you decide to release it sometime.

Mav Posted April 4, 2005 Author Share Posted April 4, 2005 @ DM Perhaps after the orignal's release, probably not anytime soon , I will release a Nomi Sunrider version, although really it's not that hard to make, once you have the template that is, although I could just release the saber blade texture that way you all can adapt it for whatever you want, but I will need to work on it some more. And make other blade colors Ah another project another time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
General Kenobi Posted April 4, 2005 Share Posted April 4, 2005 The blade as you have it originally reminds me of a much cooler version of a Master Fisto saber. I'll be watchin' for the original to come out in the mod Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Lion54 Posted April 10, 2005 Share Posted April 10, 2005 Nice sabre. I like the detail you out into it. I vote Melee!!!! Something BIG and Deadly!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
General Kenobi Posted April 10, 2005 Share Posted April 10, 2005 Mav, looks really good can't wait to add it to my saber collection. (ooh no I'm turning into General Grevious ) hemmmmm.... let me think, how about for your next saber doing the Nemisis (SP) saber. I love the design and it would be a really good "Dark Side" saber I think...just a thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mav Posted April 10, 2005 Author Share Posted April 10, 2005 It's settled than I'll start work on a couple of melee weapons when I have the time, and I may possibly return to modeling sabers later, but I want to explore first. Don't expect screenies too soon though, I've been really busy lately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mav, How about a melee weapon that "steals the soul of the victim" (I saw the "on hit" "Slay AG" with the options to choose what you want to instantly kill). You could make it a uber weapon or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mono_Giganto Posted April 10, 2005 Share Posted April 10, 2005 You must model melee weapons, or I won't be unique anymore. J/K Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mav Posted April 11, 2005 Author Share Posted April 11, 2005 A Fun Little Update Some may think it is "cold" to post screenies of things that you all may really want, but will never have... , well in all honesty these are things that are as easy as clicking on the paint bucket in your favorite .tga supported paint program, but anyhow i have fun making collages and such as you all may have guess anyway on with the teaser. The Unattainable Collection:p - 282kb Ahh, now that the time for teasing is over, it is time for the actual reason for this update, I've been working away in max making a bunch of funky sword blades, but I'm having trouble making the handguard and handle, using the "create object: line" isn't turning out the way I'd like it to and such, so if anyone has tips, help me out...lol, probably not likely to get a response after teasing you all . TIA, Mav Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
General Kenobi Posted April 11, 2005 Share Posted April 11, 2005 Mav, love the sabers and their colors man looks really good. I especially like it that you altered the hilts to match in color to their corresponding blade colors Attention to detail gotta love it BTW Check your PM box in a few mins. I want to get your 25 cents on something. Again are dancin' for ya ooh Weapons Master :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(kidding man, the sabers look fantastic!) For your handle and guard, I created mine using the standard ngon method (much the same as a saber hilt)... however you can edit in the vertex sub to help flatten out the planes you're wanting to look.. well.. flat You can also move the verts to connect and either attach / weld to to get it more of a standard "boxy" look... the reason I used ngon is because it gives you more verts to play with and manipulate...

Mav Posted April 12, 2005 Author Share Posted April 12, 2005 Update Well first of all I'd like to thanks ChAiNz for the tips on the handguard and the handle, thanks bud Okay, well the following screenshot is just to show you all that I am actually doing something , and to get some feedback, the following screenie is of my first model that has been scrapped due to several reasons including some faces that are all messed up at the tip of the blade, it is easily fixable though, but I want some feedback before I start modeling another sword, so give me some suggestions guys and gals. Scrapped Sword - 207kb Let me know what I should change etc. Mav Edit: BTW, how do you all like the new sig pic? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Lion54 Posted April 12, 2005 Share Posted April 12, 2005 I like the overall design. Maybe you could try it without the "bump." The smaller tip is a great idea, I wouldn't mind seeing it closser to the larger one, though. I like it. I think it has a lot of potential!!!

Mav Posted April 16, 2005 Author Share Posted April 16, 2005 Update Well, I took the 1 suggestion I got, thats it 1 freakin' suggestion.... ah well (j/k ), and ran with it, I removed the bump from the back of the blade and played around with the handguard and handle, just for kicks , anyway heres the screenie, feedback is always welcomed and encouraged, . gmax Sword Model - 129kb Please, feedback is welcomed.

It depends, whether or not the response is good or not, I should have 4 or 5 models W.I.P.'d up, but I've been busy with school, it the response is good though, I'll UV the sucker, correct me if I'm wrong, but a box UV should be better than an cylindrical map right? Edit: I was thinking about thining the blade though, what do you all think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Posted April 16, 2005 Share Posted April 16, 2005 Originally posted by maverick187 I was thinking about thining the blade though, what do you all think? I think it looks pretty good the way it is, and it would definately be unique to all the other swords in the game. I say, keep it as it is.

General Kenobi Posted April 16, 2005 Share Posted April 16, 2005 @Mav, Mav this is way cool man. Wanna know my first thought when I saw the blade for the first time just now??? "Yep, lopped that damned Sith's head rrrright off...lol" "Part that Sith's skull like melted butter." This is very good Mav, your thread is updated in my @#$@# outlook box every time a post was made but it stopped or I'd have seen this earlier. My only suggestion would be a "chrommier" look on the blade like steel. I know how to do this with photoshop but unsure if you can use the "bareassmetal"lol or whatever that file/thingie is that makes armor look metal and the like? Regardless; I love this thang man and it will be "standard issue" for two of my party right off the back. "Bao-Dur just made two honkin' blades and is gonna chop off Kreia's head call the exile!!" lol What are ya gonna call it? I'd call this one "Blade of Retribution" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
