3D art...

I've made this model and it's supposed to be one of the swords the priest Anderson uses in the Hellsing anime and manga series. I used 3ds max 6 to make it. I'm new to modelling and this is probably the best thing I've done so far... please tell what you think about it.

errr, looks good, if a little oversized for the handle... feels more like a trowel or a gardening tool than a sword (just that kink in the connecting piece between handle/blade)

not seen the actual anime itself, but i get the feeling the design isnt entirely practical.. nice model, just not sure if it's passable as a sword..

I'm glad you like it and it looks that way in the anime too.

In reality it would probably brake pretty easy but in the world of anime everything's possible ^^

Skin looks a bit boring, real swords have more of a 'grain' type thingy to them and don't look so flat :smile:

Yeah, the bent bit of metal looks good, but the actual sword could do with looking like it's got loads of little scrathes on it. Look at a kitchen or table knife to see what I mean.

/me wonders, why snarkpit couldn't host them, why they are over 100k with so few colors, and what kind of knife are we viewing??

I don't have a pit or any other place to put the pics, so if someone know of any good place where I can get some free webspace, plz let me know.

I rendered the pics and saved them with highest possible quality, then I put my nick on them and saved them with highest possible quality again. Maybe that's the reason.

I don't really know what kind of knife/sword it is but it's used by a guy in the Hellsing series. If I had a program that could take screen shots in WMP and other players I could take a few shots of the sword and put them up here... anyone know where I can find such a program?

It's better to lower the quality slightly for the forums. Use a JPG optimiser.

Nice, clean model BTW :smile:

HLgaming will only host HL related sites... I just want somewhere to upload pics, files and stuff...

What the hell does the snarkpit user homepage thing have to do with HLgaming!?

ahh, my apologies then, we don't view that page.. if i knew, i would not have brought it up..

my bad guys..

Oh, sorry OtZman, thats news to me :sad:

Almost all ISPs offer some kind of online filespace that hardly ever has remote link blocking, and always has enough room for a few images. The only downside is that you get a lame URL.

if you just want image hosting space www.photobucket.com is good 100mb of space 2500mb bandwidth

hehe, I can't see the pics now.. what had happened?
lolz

they seem to work sometimes...

I can't fix it right now, i'm in school, but I'll fix it sometimes soon...

ok I hope it works better now... Photobucket seems to work good, thx for the tip Rumpel :wink:

Photobucket works so nice so I thought that I could just as well post some pics of a katana I've made, but I thought it was pointless with a new thread so I'll just post em here instead:

http://www.snarkpit.com/forums.php?forum=4&topic=1671&0

That looks class, I love swords. :smile: Don't have any suggestions for it.

I think it deserves a thread of it's own.

thx :biggrin: I'll make a new thread for it then :wink:
