objects : weapon (III)

[laxina]

The video is just a demo. It has no commercial meaning. :) Because the sword in the demo consulted one sword in CG of "Warcraft III".


I believed the CG of "Warcraft III" is amazing and wonderful. And I want to get that skill level. I noticed the sword used by prince of Human Clan is so exquisite that I intended to rebuild it.


I worked in company in the daytime. After I came back home I have only a few hours to rebuild the sword,and it took me almost all my spare time, and I have to wash my cloth and do some housework. :(


After finished the sword, I animated it and put it into the scene that I see now.

I spent two days rendering the scene, Once I got the images sequence, I used premiere 6.0 and combustion 2.0 to do the composite work, such as edited the music and add some video effect.


The fog in the movie was created by afterburn,the headache is,is it cost so much rendering time.

I need more time, but I have no, otherwise I can do better.

Damn!
My English is so poor. I could not remember any words.

[Ionized]

WoW! that looks amazing. It looks like it has a lot of weight to it.

Great work.

[l7d]

the lovely gigantic render shows off fantastic textures and modelling

[Carlocki]

your sword is very big in terms of pixel per pixel.
how much ram do you have on your system?

[eMysfit]

Looks awesome, how did you do the glowing 'face' thing?

[Supernova]

Holy ****! GREAT job...
I whish my sword model would look like this! Damn :)

Any chance you could let us see the animation?

[phoenix2k]

hehe supernova... i know the feeling ;)...

[laxina]

thanx everyone ! :cool:

to Carlocki

to eMysfit

I used the videopost to add the glow.


Supernova:

I believe you can do it!

:beer:

[Kev3D]

That is one big sword. I luv the detail! amazing

[Cyborgguineapig]

I know proclaim you the master of swords, This is most excellent! At first I thought it was fine art but then realized you had a polygonal mesh:eek: :bowdown: :bowdown:

[Pyroscroll]

I thought it was 2d, when i scrolled down i could not believe that that was 3d, that is amazing work...

[aenema]

WOW, awesome work! :thumbsup: I love that frame from the video with the feathers falling around the sword :)

[Supernova]

But but but but...
Can we see the animation???

(Or maby i'm missing somthing here...)

[Angel O'Death]

WOW! this sword looks awesone! i can't wait to see that clip :)

here is a short clip he made of this sword. the sword is laying on a table or somthing and the camera starts at the bottom and pans to the top. not much here, but it shows the beauty of the sword very well.

Laixin - would you mind telling me what is says in chinese at the bottom? (i think it's chinese)

[KolbyJukes]

GAH!

Beautiful work

-Kol.

[mattie]

oh, awesome!!! :thumbsup:
i really like that sword, very close to the original :)
but maybe some more specularity and reflections?

[Angel O'Death]

woo that was really nice!

i showed it to my friend, and he swears he sees a goblins face in the reflection of the sword. please tell him he's just imaging things! (though i kinda see the teeth he points out...)

[laxina]

haha

Angel O'Death

you tell him the goblins is himself

:p


And thank you ,everyone!

[Teyon]

EXcellent! My only gripe is that the sword texture and wall texture are a little too similar.

hmm, i think that it adds to the 'realism' of the pic. making it look as if whatever elements/time have worn down the walls, has also worked its magic on the blade of the sword. and it really gives it that "i've been stuck in the ground at this spot for millenia" look. lol

[Compiler]

Awesome work, but as a warrior fan i noticed one little detail i think you missed, that sword is HUGE right? so it has to be a two hander and in that case why is the handle so short?

Unless your some sort of demigod i doubt anyone could weild that thing! :p

[Teyon]

Valid point, both of you!

[spunkman]

:thumbsup:

[facial]

Excellent work here. :D

[Jbo123]

not too shabby. But it looks a little too heavy. You could probably achieve the same result with half as many polys.

[laxina]

Jbo123

you are right,

but I apply meshsmooth modifier to almost every object., and the "Iteration " vol is 1,2or3 ,So I can control the amount of the polys freely.

[Radacci]

oh, look at that! frostmourne :)
and it looks awsome too! ;)

[laxina]

thanx :)

[iBlue]

No crits from me, its fantastic! great job! :bounce:

[yangfan]

good~~

[Jabo]

Mhh, I can't see the animation, getting 404s everytime I click the link.

[liQu1d]

definitely AWESOME!

[laxina]

Jabo

It's OK now . you can try again!

:rolleyes:

thanks everyone.

[Naseem]

Outstanding, good texturing and modeling :thumbsup:

[lebada]

so thats how frostmourne looks like( i think thats the sword's name)..

u can only imagine how heavy it is by looking at it...texturing is marvelous..front page material...at least in my opinion:applause:

[xsimike]

I would have to say that one your close to that level, 2nd really nice work, bravo, excellent.

[Supernova]

The animation is cool!:beer:
Well in the game Arthas (I hope) wields the sword with only one hand... He is under some demonic enchantment though.
Once again, GREAT work as always...

[Indigo]

INCREDIBLE !!!!!!

i'm welding these parts together to have a full pic

[Pharaun]

Great work. Awesome detail. :D

[manutara]

But two things:

- The geometry is very heavy.
- The handle is too short being the sword so heavy.

Nice texture work!!!

[laxina]

haha , thanx

thanx

I will work harder!

[Icestar]

Looks just like the real thing!......i mean.....the original......3d frostmorne, nothing like ambition for motivation. The only flaw i would comment on is the original is slightly more reflective. I thought the game version of the cinematics did no justice to itself at all. a lot of crispness was lost in the compression, for those who can, grab the dvd version of the cinematics.

[Pixalkiller]

Sword looks good - however, the pantena is a tad blurry for such a closeup - probably needs to be 2-3 times higher resolution.....

[LordShaitan]

AND SO IT RETURNS, very nice man looks awsome., heh, looks like you got that long render down now, heh.

[Lomi]

dont suppose we could get a 1600*1200 32 bit wallpaper of this sword and scene could we? :D

[Vazza]

Absolutely Stunning :thumbsup: :applause: :thumbsup:

I don't suppose you could give me some pointers as to how you went about modelling the Hilts wrapping could you, please :)

[saltank]

That is amazing, the amount of detail involved is superb! :applause:

[laxina]

:love:

[sgt1138]

Great Job, I love the textures and the details, especially the smoke emitting from it... very cool!!!
