it looks nice. All is I suggest is adding alittle bit more modeling to it. Then once it's textured it should look real good

if it's a quick sword (like one somebody could just pull out in a pair it looks great)
but what I ment is you could add like some more features to it. Just a little, thats' all. It looks great so far though

Looks nice, I think you could add a tiny bit of a curve to the blade and lengthen the blade a bit more. Round off the tips of the hit that are jetting out to the handle. Other than those things it looks pretty decent.

It looks like the kind of sword a footman would have out on the battlefield, something easily made and not fancy.

All in all it looks really nice.
good work,

-Tom

cant get the thing to look right with either the default DBP bump mapping command, it's shader, or Green Gandalf's shader, which happens to be the darkest and flattest...

here it is with the default dbp bump mapping command which has the best look thus far, even though the hilt looks like a doughnut.

it is completely disregarding the materials i have set, and basically drawing the texture on there without any shading, and making it brighter with slightly more contrast.

without the shader it looks really dull; i don't think milkshape exported my materials properly.

the sad part is that it's not a redo model, that's the way it always was before DBP decided to show to me its full incompetence. it will be difficult to make the model render in DBP as it does in milkshape, and even harder, to apply the normal map without having it turn into utter crap.

those aren't shots from DBP are they?

either way, if you exported the model into another format i still don't think milkshape is exporting my materials correctly. i also find that i have a need to invert the normal map...

They are from DBP, those clearly are Evolved's shader examples with your sword thrown into them.
Good work buddy, looks cool, nice use of normal mapping.

Well one of them is Evolved's Normal Mapping one is his Cube Mapping and one is where I combined the two shaders. The only reason I can make my own shaders is from learning from Evolved's when the the Ultimate Shader Pack was released. So yes, they are from DBP. I opened the sword in LithUnWrap and exported to .x and it looked awesome! Lol! Nice sword!

I think Evolved's website is no longer available, shame he has more shaders on his site.

Spikes going towards the handle of the sword would be killer on the side of your hand Other than that, all looks well!

I decided the blatant gold wasn't in the best interest of the game I was planning this for. So I desaturated the texture a bit to make it look more like what it was originally; sort of an off-gold/worn brass type of color.

I've ran into a bit of indecisiveness about the handle saturation... Should I put it back to a more faded color, or keep it dark? I'd kind of like to see how it would look more black but just can't seem to get the color right.

anyone like the dirty blade?
