ElfGear!

#1 I could use skinning, and a modeler in our game ;) ;)

#2 Very cool concepts Matt, it looks to keep with the share and elegant motif of Elves. Keep up the awesome work man.

#3 arg how rude of me, forgot to comment on your concepts, guess I musta hit enter too fast lol.

They look really nice though, as I saif before, I'm seeing all this great art and all I can do is with I was as good as you guys lol.

#4 Thanks guys! ;)

Im designing summore jst now..elven stuff that is :)

->Sorry man..the skinning help only applies to
Realm wars..ive way too much on my plate as far as
projects go..i cant get involved with another one..Sorry :(

Again thanks for the feedback..+hope to get some more stuff up soON ;)

#5 Just the sword looks a bit too plump for elven elegance. The shield has holes in it that would prove to be not so handy when shielding arrows or bolts. You might want to turn the holes into applications of the same shape instead.

#6 Your probably right about both these issues...
But the sword can easily be elongated + weapons
& armour always have there own faults..perhaps when
more designs have been implemented the benefits &
disadvantages of weapons/armour can be established...

Thanks for the crit though ;)

#7 Modelled your shield:


its 312 polys. if you like it, I'll go ahead and skinmap it for you.

#8 and heres the sword:


its only 280 polys :)

#9 Heres the helmet:


its probably going to need some more optimization, since its 402 polys, which seems a little high to me.

edit: I got it down to 354 polys

#10 The texture needs to give more of an impression of nature's beauty. Hopefully, we'll have background information up for everyone pretty soon about the races and their cultures, to give everyone a better idea of how modelling and scripting needs to be done.

But anyway, elves are going to be creatures that live in relative harmony with nature, or at least use it to the fullest extent. Taking that into account, the textures of these weapons should reflect more of a natural feel. (More green and yellow, designs on the shapes that resemble plant life, etc.)

#11 the textures I used are just some basic procedurals...I'm not a very good skinner, so I'll leave that to the others ;)

#12 You'll notice on the original drawing that there are several lines that are missing on the current texture. Those could help a lot in future skinning.
