Just a little pic of the model I'm working on...
This is not the final version, some part of skin are even totally missing (back of the blade, etc...)
I hope you'll like it.
Oh, it makes 554 polys.

Nice work Djagg, like the skin.. excellent.

Need to get some swing anims together. Logan says he'll take a look.

Thanks! ;)

"Thats not an axe, thats a hatchet!" << you're right Ace!
This is a one-handed axe.

I'll try to make the swing anims...

Hugh : yes that's the idea! :) (you can also use a shield)

Here is a new pic:

I think the new axe is too metal, the first one was better IMO becouse of the wood.
Dont get me wrong, its a beatiful axe!

Pfft, shields are for n00bs. I'd love to see how a dual melee weapon system would work.

Actually I like the look of the second image actually. My only recommendation that I would like to see is perhaps some leather wrapped around the handle of the axe, but this is fairly minor.

I have an idea that would be good in conjunction with this cool little hatchet or axe. You could have it armed in one hand and have a shield (or another weapon) in the other hand. You could press one button to swing with the axe and another to block with the shield or swing with the other weapon. Of course, both of the weapons would probably have to be meelee, but this would be very entertaining for close combat or even a map "type" where you cannot use projectile weapons.

I think that this idea would be very good with this gaming engine. Plz post a reply and tell me what you think.
