Urwy's Progress

Some suggestions and opinions
I prefer Zar'roc V1's blade - but loose the black line have that bit like V2
If its possible Bronzeband should have the same texture blade as zar'roc V1 but a bronze colour (If its to be a riders sword)
Elven Scimitar - Less scratches, Elves would keep their blades in tip-top condition
My favourite so-far is Draco's Bane

Will have more after looking at the blades in more detail...
Draco's bane should be an Easter egg quest having to fight Anon-Draco in a crypt...

holy Jesus Zar'rok V2 is awesome! My vote goes there.

If my advice is any worth I'd propose adding the silver wire around the hilt as described in the books

The captain's sword is an astonishing piece of work too Great textures on that one, as well as the axe.

Zar'rok v1 looks a bit too small when the player is holding it and it's about a hand-and-a-half.

V2 gives that special metal feel to it !

To sum it up : GREAT WORK

imo zar'roc V2 looks strange I'd expect it to be really smooth and clean being a riders sword (i'm only talking about the blade)

It's metal..its supposed to be stained but then again elves made it so it might as well

Practically I like it because its textures are much nicer.

The textures other than the blade are nicer imo so if you could just swap blades, but keep the ridge bit from V2 as I don't think the black line is too good on V1.

If we are to keep the V2 pommel and hilt, I say make the blade iridescent red..it would be better than a shiny red paint. It's metalic after all.

As long as i don't have to grow a beard and put on a fluffy hat i'm fine with that

Updated OP:

New Zar'roc V2 images.

For zar'roc V2.2? I'd drop the White and deepen the red. The runes are epic, perfect font as well. Maybe pics of it in sunlight would change my mind...
Sorry for all this but I'm very picky if others like it I don't mind it.
Always room for improvement.

I don't know the english word but I mean the golden part under the blade : It could have a bettter design and more details

It's hard to believe most of you aren't english, almost as good at it as I am

Crossguard

I'll leave the current Zar'roc as it is i think Since Draco intends to redo the Zar'roc.
What i might do is replace the gold with a smooth texture like the blade itself. That way it looks as if the entire sword is made out of the same iridescent metal.
And yes i know the crossguard is supposed to be gold, but gold is kinda hard to get right and doesnt look to great imho.

what programs do you need for modelling and texturing plus how'd you get started the wiki tuts are confusing

I'll redo the zar'roc now.

Update on the nexus forums!

For modelling:

- Blender (free)
- 3ds max
- Maya
- Rhinoceros
- Sketchup (free, can't be used standalone, use in conjunction with blender or 3ds max)
- Nifskope (must have! Skyrim's models are nif's. so you'll need this if you want to replace meshes and add textures to meshes.)

Texturing:

- GIMP
- Photoshop
- Paint.net

As for the tutorials:
Yeah, they're tricky especially the ones for the modelling software.
I guess it just takes time to learn it. although using sketchup and exporting it to blender is an option. That way tou could use blender to finalize it and export it to .OBJ, which you could import into NIFSkope.

We could do tunnels like dungeons with separate parts and loading screens. How to do tronjheim I am at a loss

New Zar'roc versions looks very cool great work so far

Added Arya's sword to the OP
Will continue on Zar'roc 2.0 when i feel confident enough to actually get it right in one go :/ Sorry guys!

Also:
I'm can't do the usual in-game testing atm, as i just dont the a sea of time to prep the Nifs like i had a week ago. So for now, blender shots

Ok I need hundreds of years to load the page with the images (and my internet connection is a good one) , so please split up the images on different pages

Alright Will replace the spoilered images with links to images

Arya's sword is looking good I would expect it to be longer though.

For future reference and for the scythe. Remmember when doing elven stuff it would be really clean and smooth.
