[Release] FF7 Clouds Busterblade.

[vonkova]

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Release~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Please note that I dont have time to fix the polygons that is on the blade, Near the 2 circles there are some creases, they dont look bad at all, But i just dont have the time to fix it as I just started class again, Have so many projects going on at once and its just hard to keep up atm :P

anyways i hope you all enjoy this even tho it isnt amazing lol, and that its sorta plain :P


Ok, so this is my first sword i have ever made actualy its the first anything i have made in 3d modeling.
I have chose to do this sword as its so simple. But yet at first it was so hard to do :P

Please dont be to harsh on the comments now :P as this was my first model i have ever done. I could not have added it to the game without bloomfalls help and Tigurius converters, so tyvm guys for the help really appriciate it.

This model was made in maya, took me a couple days to learn how to do this and about a week to actually make the model then another week or so to actually get it ingame since i didnt know anything at that time. Im actually better at it now than before. This model was actually finished. But atm all im doing to it is tweeking it up a bit.
Im currently working a a more harder sword atm so im not going to do to much to this sword. If you all want it let me know and ill send it to you.
This is nowhere nears as good as bloomfalls models but hey, its a start.

I am aware that the polygons are all whacked on the blade, but after more reading and help from RL friends who is good at this, has pointed out to me some pointers so my next model wont be as bad as this one lol.

here is a pic of the model. tell me what you think

How to use:
Open the .mpq and rename the sword.m2 and sword.skin to your weapon, Leave the sword.blp alone (Do not touch the .blp) then save then put it back into your wow/data folder and enjoy

Wow very nice for first you made the texture too? =P. Is the blade only 1 plane or is it abit wider (thicker)?....I myself have been doing 3d for a while but I dont understand how to export it into wow...can you link the tutorial or program u used?

[seekfin]

i tryed to use this but it messed up graphics or crashed wow, am i doing something wrong? :<

actually it isnt made from plane its made from cubes, And to import to wow there isnt really a tut for it, I had personal help from people to get it working in game also, there are a couple apps u need along with a plug in for 3ds man, (neodex for 3ds max, mdl to mdx converter, mdx to m2+skin converter).

i tryed to use this but it messed up graphics or crashed wow, am i doing something wrong? :<

It shouldnt crash, All u have to do is open the .mpq rename the .m2 and the .skin to your weapons name and it will work but DO NOT touch the .blp.

U sir is gay, I dont see u doing any custom models, Like i said this was my first model, wanted something easy so i can learn the basics.
I am working on a harder weapon atm.

SO if u like the First Tsurugi so much go learn 3d modeling and make it ur self.

It looks cool, but how about one with the bandages? lol. +rep nice work.

that would be simple, thats just the texturing

Any idea where the "Venerable Dal'Rend's Sacred Charge" and "Bloodied Arcanite Reaper" stands in the weapon texture map ? +rep if you can !

I do hope you're kidding. Even if vonkova took the time to create a replica which looks like it does in that picture, WoW would not be able to render it and would look more like what his model does in the first post picture. This would make all that work a waste of time (other than a decent learning experience).

Great work so far mate Keep it up!

lol, this question doesnt belong in my thread as it isnt a comment towards my model, Its a question to help u find textures lol....

ANyways u can find the textures and models use model viewer.
also depending on the expantion the weapon is from u can find the weapons+textures in common.mpq(textures) common-2(m2's + skins), expansion01 and expantion02, in those they will be under ITem>objectcomponents> weapon and there u go :P[COLOR="Silver"]

This is the First Tsurugi (Japanese name: First Ken).
Creating this sword would be very hard but ive seen a few similar models.

[dehaas]

Nice, Cloud's buster blade is one of my favorite game/movie weapons so I'll be glad to use this patch. +rep

Well. it was a childish acuse.. To call him a gay, when you in reallity cann't know if he is.
Just.. Don't do that..

Anyways, It would have looked great with some details to it. But I my self, is not a big fan of swords.
But you could try to make a newer version of this sword? Just with a bit more detail?
Yes.. I know that you are new with the whole 3D part.

And yes, I am doing 3D my self. Normally I am just constructing houses etc. But I've never converted anything to .m2.

But anyways, Good job so far.

Btw. I do not think that it would be that easy to create it, as an exact replica. Due to the fact that all the models in wow is low poly count. Thus it would lower the preformance of the game, with a high poly one.
But that's just a guess.

Augh! Won't Let me Download >.<
