i like it, its good stuff mate.

Can i suggest on your next sheild you try something abit more original, such as the bones sheild off diablo 2, it would look amazing ingame. (attached below).

Nothing against these, but they just all look so plain, all the same shape and sizes.

does this look ok to you ?

or you realy want to have it the shape off the bones (like you will see through the bones)?

(i changed the texture as you must know i cant just use an image)

ingame screen:


upclose texture image:
Front/Back

 

[Bon]

that looks good tbh

 

[stephenking]

texture image kite shield


texture image needs changing tho as its to dark ingame

mir doesnt like to much black :P

 

[Bon]

taht looks really nice, but cant really tell till u got it ingame

 

[stephenking]

i lightend up the texture and got it ingame
i still need to lighten it up a bit more imo
its hard to see the details in the shield

ingame screen

 

[daneo1989]

very nice stephen, tbh we r lucky to have u here atm, i mean ur doing more than alot of us (including me) have done over the past few years

i personally feel that looking thru the bones more is going to look better but its all just peronal prefrence at the end of it

 

[NickMason2007]

looks awesome dude,keep up the good work

 

[Xanan]

Yeah i think it would be worth considering making it able to see through the bones,

but either way that looks amazing.

Can you tell me how your doing this you seem to be chucking out new shields and you need 4x every direction and action images for one item you got something that rotates and saves it for you?

Would love to know as we could make armours/weapons aswell ^.^

i modeled a shield and positioned it so it would have a motion scene

so basicly i rotate the geomatry i modeled to all the right positions and key them to there frames

then i render out every single frame so that comes out as 600 images all being 640x480 in size

i then cropp all the images to 60x60(or whatevver seems fit for that purpose) (i wrote an application for this to speed up cropping 600 images:P )

so that will leave me with all the images to add to the wilfle


so then how can i create new shields that fast??
once a shape is completed i can just apply a differant texture and voila i got a new shield hence why many have the same shape but differant texture

so making that boneshield look through the bones i wil have to create a new shape so that means starting all over again with a new project

for armours it aint that easy as you wont have a naked model to go with that means creating a new human model from scratch and that doesnt seem so easy (i tried many times to attempt a armour but failed )

i hope this explains abit

 

[Bon]

yer i was also wonderin how u did them so fast.. lol but that explains a lot
