Ok finally! here is my 2nd attempt at this sword. This time it is how it should be except for the textures. For some reason I havn't learned that part yet. If anyone wants to texture it, feel free to do so, but it still looks good as is. Also this is my PnP holy avenger +6 greatsword. It is a relic. Although powerful for such a weapon, it is not 'Uber'. It was bestowed upon me while stuck in 'Ravenloft'.
I designed this greatsword for my Paladin several years ago for playing the pen and paper Dungeons and Dragons game. This is a Greatsword for a fantasy setting. The swords main feature is its split blade. The crossguard is gold and set with the tips of 6 dragon teeth. The hand grip is silver and sports 4 gold rings. The pommel is gold and in the shape of a 4 fingered claw holding a Large Black opal, surrounded by 4 tips of dragon claws. It took 2 1/2 years to learn 3ds max in my spare time, and this is my first model. It has been a labor of love making this, and I hope that you enjoy this model as much as I do.
It has no textures, just assigned colors.
Fire and Ice emitters on the blades.
Pulsating glow on the black opal.
I think the model looks great. Wouldn't work in RL, so what, last time I checked NWN wasn't real life. Not to mention that Maj_Angel gave a perfectly reasonable explanation for the weapon having strength and durability, ie a reward from a God.
Age and education do not a mature person make.
Imo a mature person can give constructive criticism while encouraging the person to continue their efforts to improve their skill.

Very good looking. A interesting innovation for swords models. Keep it up.

...And I love it when people like Hawk1216 dissipate any doubt about his own idiocy. LOL
Have you read any of the posts? I agree with Matlock, this sword is cute and it will fit wonderfully in a fantasy campaign, but in RL I doubt about its durability. They had manufactured swords like this any moment in History if it were a good design.
And I also understand that older people state their learning, though I don't see it necessary as only by reading you normally are (or should be) able to know if you are reading a mature and interesting opinion (yet anonymous or not), or a stupid flammer brat's comment (obviously always anonymous ¬¬).

I love it when people like Matlock get accused of being an idiot, and then come back with this all holy uber spell checked and search engine scoured for big words and they always seem to put that they are some big job. Why do we care if you are a chief industrial engineer? And also, why do you feel the need to tell us about your life, when all we really cared about in the first place was your opinion?
ANYWAYS...
Really really nice model, I think it is a perfect item to put into a PW looking for a 'epic' sword or some sort of one of a kind item.
BRAVO!

Any input whether good or bad depending on a persons way of looking at it is still appreciated. However this sword was bestowed upon my Paladin player character by his God for his unwaivering faith, back when I played "Pen & Paper" AD&D. Hence its "+6 relic status".
As this was forged by the almighty himself, of course it's going to be indistructible, save for a falling out of faith, this weapon ignores metallurgic properties.
If you downloaded this hak, you will see that it does in fact have an edge, and if you look very close at the point where the two halves of the blade dissapear at the crossguard, you will see that the two halves do in fact come together, thus strengthening the blade, and the two halves act as two seperate blades, and each blade half is tempered steel, so no worries.
I do appologize for the lack of texture on the weapon, but they are included in the hak if you want to add the textures yourselves.....Still learning that process.
Thanks and enjoy.

to Netherius:
Well, but for your post you seem to be a bit nervous, aren't you?
Perhaps when you grow a little older (for instance, when you go to High School -I have to suppose, due to your post, that you necessarily are below this grade-) you could begin to understand some things, but honestly, I doubt it can´t ever be possible, given that attitude of yours. Surely I would post a lot more and I'd have a registered user's whose password I remembered, and I would perhaps put funny pics as that of of yours, if I had nothing to do but wasting my time, but as a chief industrial engineer (or whatever official transaltion it has in your country) I have normally more important things to do at work, save at those spare moments I can browse the e-press or check a bit some forums or this same vault, and in my free time I only download a mod once every a while, as I am more interested in scripting, as I am collaborator and supporter of three non-English PWs (ah, RPGs, another hobby of mine since University).
I have been interested in ancient weapons and metallurgic traditional forging for some decades. So, exceptionally, as I don't usually write in these threads (I prefer specialized forums) populated from rare learned, polite and interesting people to the most spoiled brats in the web, I though of posting something which perhaps the author could find of help in case he intended to rework this design or to make others in a future. But it seems I misteriously have attracte the atention of one of those very weird and unmature flamers who live in the forums.
Obviously, I don't think for a moment precisely you could tell me here now any substantial difference between an Indian kukri and a Iberian falcata, or between the steel from a middle-Shengoku Japanese katana and a late Rennaissance Spanish Toledo sword, as in you childish comment you have cleared any doubt about you to be anything more than an ignorant one, unable to say anything but an interest-empty comment about 'anonymousity' instead of paying a minimum of attention the content of the post. Child, I would have liked to find you in a battlefield as a foe, you whit your 'chosen because is wonderful looking' sword of the finest steel, and me with an ordinary iron second-hand Roman gladius short sword, to discover if you could have lasted more than a minute.
Of course, I don't expect you ever to know any details about anything. If I read somebody's opinion about a subject I don't know about, I at least stay silent, and if it lights on my curiosity, I use to investigate on my own about the matter. But the fact of disregarding it, and advertising other people to do so, because the 'big and important fact' I don't know the author, it would only mean one thing and would show everybody that I am a thing only: STUPID!
And a litte last detail. Who are you? Someone who hides in anonymacy (a hotmail account). So apply yourself what you have said. Perhaps you have also to learn that registering or no is a minor detail. Maximus and whoever administrator in any web you visit have every log ip registered. Of course, I hope you understand I won't give here any info about me which could serve to make a flammer like you's day, right?
-----
Two years work are a big time in any project, so I recognize the sword's author merit and effort. If he can manage to improve his 3D modeling skills and continue with things as this, or he finds a field of interest in Designing, it would ve a good thing and perhaps a rewarding one for him.
Regards.
PS: For the moderators: if you consider my post to be rude, please take a look to the flammer named Netherius' previous one.

Yes, NWN is fantasy, and the sword looks very good, but when I was looking at it I noticed that Matlock is right about one thing, the edge of the blade could look a litle difrent...
Matlock, ummmm, you might need to remember that NWN IS fantasy. If we start going down the road of realism, we might as well throw the entire genre out the window. Please!
Don't listen to Matlock, notice that if you search the site, you probably won't find anyone else who posts under that name, dubbing the Matlock character below this post "anonymous" i.e. "do not regard". =P Well done, and beautiful work! This, for once, shows devotion to a project. Too bad there are those who will only come here to post nasty things. Just ignore them and their biased views. Until then - this is Netherius, take care Maj_Angel.==================

Well, a cool design... for a comic fantasy series, at least.
This sword, from a realistic and metallurgic point of view, is a disaster in design. Not matter if it's from the best tempered steel, the long and wide slit in the middle would make it very fragile, unable to resist more than a little amount of battle clashing withouth breaking (not only by inefficient metal disposition, but also by the resonance efect that would happen). And even if it didn´t break, its wielder's arm easily could due to the transmitted unatenuated vibrations. Also, the broad and nearly inexistent edge would turn it into a bludgeoning weapon more than a slashing or piercing one (maybe somewhat similar to an Scottish claymore). Of course, if the sword is supposed to be made from an undestroyable material or has a magical-driven way of cutting, it's ok, but the same would have been achieved with a jedi's lightsaber or a holy wooden club.
Anyway, a cool design (if you like only the visuals and don't mind anything about realism).
Well It's been a long time since I last worked on this sword. I have been trying endlessly to actually make my sword from the ground up, instead of remodeling an existing greatsword and I have finally made a breakthrough with my own ability to learn 3ds max.
For some reason I can't update this file, so I had to make a new entry. The new entry is just a pic of my new sword, as I'm still working on the final stages.

It looks very nice. We need a lot more goodlooking weapons models like this one.
Posted by i90r ( ..xxx.xxx ) at 2003-11-09 08:32:00
you could give the texurs too.
And you didn´t link the model and the base ofcourse it gives you empty model

by the way there is an excellent stormbringer in the characters section of the vault... do a search for elric and you get elric & his sword. I think it was Labelle Rouge who made 'em.
