Weapons pack

Someone posted a piece here about a FX pack, so I thought this would be relevant. Has anyone considered getting a group of modelers together to construct a pack of creative arms, particularly weaponsry that isn't created too much (IE- Maces, pole weapons, shields, etc)? We could do stuff like swords and axes also, but I think it would be beneficial to the community as a whole to create or at least group a slew of weapons into one easy file so people could just download it and browse through untill they found a weapon they liked. It would be a great idea in my opinion. If anyone wanted to do this, just reply here, and I'll probably start a file collection that groups the weapons under a .zip file. So tell me what you think.

i was thinking the same thing so i started on my own pack and right now i am working on the shadow rod model from dynasty wariors 3

nice, care to share the sfxs?

Well, I can model weapons no problem, but if you've been following the model tutorial post, you'll see I can't skin my own models because the program doesn't work for some reason. Therefore, if you, or anyone, were willing to at least map and maybe even skin the models I make, then I could pump out some nice weapon models.

k so far im on my tenth weapon and second shield. if you want somthing in the pack just post it here

i would really like to see one of those cool 2 sided weapons....hm i don't know how to describe or what they are called i'm gunna go get a pick

here is a pic




here is one more



and here is the link to the site where u can see a few more pics of the weapon.....if i can get a scanner i will post a pick of one i drew myself. http://www.angelfire.com/anime3/kayu...CPictures.html

I think they are just commonly known as double bladed/side swords. I can model that if you're willing to appropriately scale it and at least UV map it.

well i am only learning to make objects but if you model it i will figure out how to do those. i should be able to uv map it but scaling may cause a little trouble. don't worry tho i learn fast. and by the way they aren't exactly swords because they have like a hook on each side. it's not straight like a sword is what i mean they have a semi-hooked apperance.

k i made the doubl;e sided model. ity took me about 5 minutes to make and 8 to skin

oooOOoo looks so purtey. i like it. could you post the model too?

k im gona release my models so far. theres not that many of them yet cause i ran out of ideas so i posted in the requests forum for mpre requests.

just for the record its a double sided glaive and there bad*** what program do you use to model ive been wanting to try it..

i model in wings. akin in lithunwrap and export in gmax. by the way were they working fine in game?

how do u unwrap with lithunwrap, i have it but i use Gmax and it does not support Gmax:bgrun: can I import to wings, unwrap with Lithunwrap then export wit Gmax?

if you use gmax to model i think you have to use dex to print to listener then convert that to mdx then get text edit and open up the mdx and save as .obj. i lithunwrap you open the model go to selection->all the go to tools->uvwwrapper(or somthing like that)->planer then choose a radius that works the best. once you do that go to file->uv map->save and save as a tga. then skin that and save it. in lithunwrap select eveeything(if you deselected them) and go to material->modify. select default and click properties. go to diffuse map(it has a scrolly thing) and go to bitmap then hit properties. select your skin and there. you should have a skined version. just export as 3ds and open it in gmax load the skin on in there and export
