lookin great mind if i can take a shot at skinning it

 

[Almighty_Gir]

i own that kitana!!!!!!!!

hehe good luck with modeling it, although i cant see the images....firefox gets a lil funny sometimes.

 

[GMan]

Dunno, doesn't strike me as very katana-ish. More like a lightsabre.

 

[Enix]

[Drunken Trunks]

but i love swords too and this is gonna kick some serious ass when done...right????

:UPDATE: XD

 

[VeGeTa14]

sorry but what did you change?

 

[SSj Sephiroth]

there is a little more defenition in the blade
the only thing wrong is it need a little more detail on the skin on the katana's hilt :]

 

[Sin Goku]

On the hilt? The hilt got it's own 512x512 bitmap. Even MORE detail???

Changes: Before there were several parts of the model clipping into each other, which are now clearly seprated and therefore easier to skin. I also added the little thingy at the hilt's end. Overall it's easier to skin now

 

[Wolf Devil]

SWEET MOTHER MCGEE!!!!!!!!!! That's GORGEOUS!!!

 

[Almighty_Gir]

I also added the little thingy at the hilt's end

if its the end where the blade starts then its the guard (i think) and if its the other end then its the pommel usually its a precious stone= pommel stone.

 

[onobi]

ooo George
Llucas's light saber shweeeth

 

[Mystacx]

woooow, thats one sweet model....
really i love it...especially those holes in the blade
can this be rigged so that it will be useable within the JediKnight3 game? (single saber)?

coz it would perfectly match the ninja themed maps and models i have.....

it would be very cool if you could make it for JK3 plz.

Greetz

 

[Sin Goku]

I do neither know exactly how q3-engine based modeling works nor do I own JK3, so there won't be a JK3 version of this coming from me, sorry.

 

[VeGeTa14]

i think it awesome katana... what is it for?

 

[Sin Goku]

Natural Selection. If someone wants to convert it to ESF in any form, just ask after it is finished

 

[Wolf Devil]

Natural Selection? .... I haven't touched Natural Selection for a long time..... when exactly did they put in swords?
