Lookin good Joe. :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

thanks jeremy!

yeah, it looks pretty good...do you plan on making a character to go with the ax?....and are you going to use the smoothing on it or staying with the angular look?....is this for the video gaming class with Brian?

[blankslatejoe]

yeah, this is for briend low poly class, so... no smoothing for me. the polycount is about 550.

And yea, eventually there'll be a character to go alongside it. We're only in the first few weeks though!

I think he showed us your weapon as an example, heather. He also showed us steve and doug's head.

:drool: ....dang joe, you never do anything halfway...it looks great :)...and when i think abiout it ouch...anyone hit with that thing is going to beleft with all sorts of interestin infections, cant wait to see the character you come up with

[blankslatejoe]

ok guys, im about done with the axe, it needs some more tweaking, but most of the textures are in place and are good to go i think.

All in all, i think this turned out ok, i'll still have to run it by the teacher to see what to tweak, but what do you guys all think?

i love what you done there, it looks like a very very old axe, probally left unnderwater, or outside for a long long time!

[blankslatejoe]

thanks man, i wanted a very rusty/weathered look. im glad you dig it.

[Tikisan]

looks really nice joe...only one real nit pick...the handle texture looks like its stretched around at a weird angle...or is it just me?...but like i said, its just a nit pick :)

[Mangled Poly]

554 is high for a weapon if you plan on using it in a game.. i like it however i feel the polys on the handle are unjustified for the texture you put on it...

my 2 cents,
It looks nice though!

I dig the look, but yeah, 550 is a bit steep for a game weapon, unless the weapon is super-important (think Soul Calibur). Maybe you could join out some of the polys where the axe head is tied on and at the handle. I mean, if the axe is meant to be carried, we're not gonna see much of the handle anyway, right?

[Indavisual]

Yeah great work Joe. But I kind of agree with Mangled Poly on the unjustified polys. I think you need to tweak the texture on the handle so that the texture goes with the form a little better. It still looks great though!! :drool:

I give it :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
