Araegon Posted October 5, 2002 Share Posted October 5, 2002 Hey everyone. this isn't really a WIP yet, cause i've only started on one of the 18 weapons. Yes thats right, 18 different weapons, a very great undertaking for one person. the models that i'm going to make are: Sting (Sword of Frodo Baggins) - currently at 5% Glamdring (Sword of Gandalf The Grey) Sword of the Witchking Narsil Shards of Narsil (Broken Narsil) Sword of the Ringwraiths Hadhafang (Sword of Arwen) Aragorn's Ranger Sword Uruk-Hai Scimitar Legolas's Bow & arrows Saruon's Staff Gandalf The Grey's Staff Gandalf The White's Staff Saruman's Staff Standard Rohan/Gondor Sword Standard Orc Sword Standard Hobbit Sword Standard Bow & Arrow but i really need help trying to find some reference pics of some of them so that i can begin modeling. I've spent a large amount of time searcing for all the pictures i could find of them, but havn't been able to get pictures for all 18. i need refecence pictures of all the ones from Hadhafang down. I'm currently working on sting, but i'm unable to post any pictures because my website server is having some trouble right now. Sting is going to be the best, and probably most detailed one because i have an exact replica of the sword. Also, if any modelers would like to help modeling the weapons (which would be appreciated a lot) you can e-mail me at jedi2oo1@yahoo.com or if you would like to help in the mod, you can go to our current site: http://motfclan.i8.com/Main.htm. thanks again, and i should have pictures of the hand grip of Sting any day now.

SiThLoRd><1000 Posted October 6, 2002 Share Posted October 6, 2002 There are already two of those out and two more coming. Madjai made Saruman and Gandalf the G.'s staffs a few weeks ago and you can get them at jk2files.com and some one (sorry cannot remember who) has WIPs' on Saurons "Mace" weapon and Aragorns sword (I think it was the ranger one not one given as a gift.) So you don't have to make all those weapons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trowa500 Posted October 6, 2002 Share Posted October 6, 2002 do a good job with saurons staff because its awsome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Araegon Posted October 6, 2002 Author Share Posted October 6, 2002 well, the 2 staffs i already knew about, though the others i didn't. I didn't really like those staff models that much, though they were good. Though one of the things that were trying to do is be able to have the player hold a staff in one hand, and the sword in the other, so thats why i'm making those again. and if you can remember anything about the others i'd really apprecieate it.

Covax Posted October 6, 2002 Share Posted October 6, 2002 Ahh... a tweeked JediPlus allows you to use a sword/staff combination, like in my Remix: http://members.rogers.com/dragonremix/shot0001.jpg You're pretty much screwed if you want to do it for single-player though. And I'm placing the first bid on Glamdring... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Araegon Posted October 6, 2002 Author Share Posted October 6, 2002 yeah, were only going to do it for MP, though were trying to make it so that the staff is in the left hand, and the sword is in the right. So then, if you play as Gandalf you'd be exactly like he is in the movie during the scenes in the Mines of Moria, with the staff in his left hand, and the sword in his right. Glamdring is going to be the 3rd sword i work on. the order for the first 5 is: Sting Narsil Glamdring Witchking Sword Shards of Narsil so, depending on how long it takes me to get the first two done, you might not have to wait long for Glamdring. BTW, i'm in need of reference pics of Narsill and Glamdring, mainly close up ones of the blade and handgrip. THANKS! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madjai Posted October 6, 2002 Share Posted October 6, 2002 I can understand you not liking my Gandalf's staff, but Saruman's staff is dead on accurate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Araegon Posted October 7, 2002 Author Share Posted October 7, 2002 yeah, i basically ment the gandalf one, Saruman's staff was very good, and i doubt that i could do a better job. But for gandalf's staff, i have a couple people already working on it with very high level programs (3d Studio Max 5, Maya 4.0 Unlimited) and there are some effects in those programs that allow us to make it truly look like a real wooden stick, down to even the smallest details. though, for the game some of those details we'll have to remove because it will present problems putting it in-game.

Covax Posted October 7, 2002 Share Posted October 7, 2002 Uhm... you can have any combination you want: http://members.rogers.com/dragonremix/shot0007.jpg Swords and staves are just long saber hilts... as long as they're mod compatable you're fine. I made all the meele weapons I could find work for JediMOD. I was easy after geting advice from White Rider and I AM a moron when I cames to these things. Here's a few ref pics: http://members.rogers.com/dragonremix/LotRGlamdring.jpg http://members.rogers.com/dragonremix/LotRuc1266.jpg For reall good sword pics you can either go to Swords Online: http://www.swords-online.com/ or Ebay: http://listings.ebay.ca/aw/pavailable/list/all/category20272/index.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Covax Posted October 7, 2002 Share Posted October 7, 2002 The JediMOD: Dragon Remix is available at JK2Files. The weapons (and 'energy effects') are in a seperate file called Weapons.pk3 to make things simple. If you can't find it I'll post the link up later today.

grim_squeaker Posted October 7, 2002 Share Posted October 7, 2002 I thought you might want to know that (at least according to Decipher's Lord of the Rings CCG which is VERY accurate) the sword of the Witch King is called 'The Pale Blade'. For pictures of various swords etc you might want to look at Decipher's website: Glamdring The Pale Blade The Blade of Gondor (Boromir's Sword) Sting Gimli's Battle Axe Arwen's Sword (Gwemegil) Dwarven Hand Axe Lurtz's (BIG Uruk-hai) Sword Shards of Narsil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Araegon Posted October 7, 2002 Author Share Posted October 7, 2002 thanks for the replys. as for the mod compatable, not all 18 are going to be compatable with JediMOD. the only ones that will be are Sting, Narsil, Glamdring, Sword of the Witchking, and the Uruk-Hai Scimitar. all the others will be in the LOTR mod that will be released sometime in the begining of next year. thanks for all the reference pics. From ebay, i already have every good picture from there. swords.com had some good ones of Gilmi's ax, and of some other blades that will be helpful. the ones that i really need reference pics for now are Narsil and Glamdring, and i only need the actual hand grip, the blade i already have pictures of, but i've been unable to find any good close up pictures of the grips. thanks for the replys.

Araegon Posted October 9, 2002 Author Share Posted October 9, 2002 i'm having some minor trouble with Narsil right now, *procedes to yell and curse out Rhino3d* but, if it finally works and does what i'm telling it to, then i should have pics of the top part of the handgrip and the blade guard up tomorrow.

Covax Posted October 15, 2002 Share Posted October 15, 2002 Hey, quick question: You guys have anything to do with the Skin?weapons pack LotR team? http://www.jk2files.com/file.news?ID=2309 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Araegon Posted October 15, 2002 Author Share Posted October 15, 2002 sorry for the lack of updates lately, i've been sick for the past week and my parents wouldn't allow me on the computer (evil them) anyway, covax, your answer is no. Our mod is an actual TC. Though, we are going to be asking some of the other people working on LOTR mods to possibly join ours, though that is up to the dude in charge, not me. about the renders of narsil, my computer crashed really bad and i lost the model, i'm working on it again now and will get renders up ASAP.

Araegon Posted October 29, 2002 Author Share Posted October 29, 2002 just wanted to post an update on the status of the models Narsil - 70% upper handgrip and bladeguard done, working on lower handgrip now. Sting - 10% model got erased acidently, started working on it again. currently working on the blade. Gimli's Battle Ax 60% shaft and first blade done, working on making model more detailed now, need more ref pics to complete. Gimli's Standard Ax - 80% model completed, working on the skin now, need more ref pics to make better skin.
