Another brilliant piece of commedy :P, ...well, you might laugh... Options

[Soulseeker3.0]

hrm, I can't see it, says there isn't a file with that name

[milanius]

Ach, sorry - did a bit of restructuring today *embarraced*
But anyhow, here it is - due to the lack of better ideas for a name I call it Reaver

EDIT: sadly, the pic you're seeing is not valid any longer, since I've screwed up and didn't back my data properly. Now I'll have to texture the damn thing again from ACAD file and it'll probably look a bit different... at least that's not gone too.

EDIT2: Phew! Finished the model again and [slaps his own head] now it is backed up. Changed the straps on grip to leather.

Oh Milanius .. I am so glad you managed to save the Reaver model! Would hate to have you lose such a gnarly impressive looking blade. Should I call it a huge dagger or is it a shortsword? It is beautiful either way.

[milanius]

It's a huge dagger, Ibis, and I don't really know what material is that :\ maybe it could be some superpolished black ebony, with the golden knot markings ? Meh, some friends are advising me to make the knots same color/material as the entire knife - I am not sure, though. Now that I have it backed up I'll just fool arround with it a bit.

[Ibis]

Hmmm, I like the golden knot. It really stands out on the dark metal. But it might look nice different too.

[milanius]

MODIFIED!

If I were to be killed by any weapon, I would wish for it to be THAT one!

I'd be like "Yea, it was that dagger that killed me. That's how special I am!"

lol sounds good to me. Yes Mil, the knife is that cool

[Konji]

Pretty good. I like the black Reaver more though. It has a certain style to it whereas the Reaverbrother just seems a bit too generic in colour for such a unique design.

[milanius]

Hmmmm, those are my exact thoughts - still, I can't make that kind of 'blackness' to FEEL like a metal - instead, it resembles some other material [black volcanic glass, non-translucent? Ebony???] more than it does metal.
Like I said, this is one of my more complex things so far, I'll be sure to fool arround with it some more... dialup is a bit*h, but at least it offers me more time offline

[milanius]

Blood, sweat and a [much more than] few tears... that's how I've learned to make NIF's.

Model of a dagger for Zarrexaij's upcoming mod

The blade in this screenshot is actually the unoptimized version of model which I had to roughen up a bit in order to cut down some 4000 polygons making the blade was much easier, though, than learning how to make it reflexive. Here is how it looks in MORROWIND.
If you're interested to learn more, here is the link on Official forums. Zarr and Kikai get all the props.

Very nice job mil, that dagger looks pretty whicked.

[Silmarillion=??]

Deam,The weponds looks soooo cooool I'l hope you are going too make a katana some time too

You get a gold star in my book

[Silmarillion=??]

P.S

I got wrong smile on the Weponds look good

[milanius]

I'l hope you are going too make a katana some time too

Hmmm. How 'bout a claymore instead?

This was a side project, while I was occupied with several other things, including Zarrexaij's dagger; it turned out nice but there are 3 problems I am faced with now: 1. The gloss that has to appear like gold isn't so apparent on the flatter parts of the sword; 2. Textures are lousy and I have to make/find & steal some other for the 'amethyst' parts as well as the blade; 3. Even if this all is done, due to the problems with bump mapping [the absence of it in MW, to be precise] my model was made as complete mesh, once again - and, once again, the poli count is trough the roof... nearly 9300 polygons any attempt to lower the polis resulted in model looking like crap, so it's safe to say that this will overcook your PC if it's not up to par with latest gaming software [luckily, most of you don't have to worry about it].

But aside from all that, it's still one mean mother of a sword, a bit huge even for my taste, but good. Next time I'll really make something less complex, I promise

p.s.: Aside from making models and [thankfully now] putting them into MW, I still know nothing about making more complex mods I'll try to learn that too, so that you don't just walk into some cave in Vvardenfell [Cyrodiil?? OB mod, perhaps?] and find it laying on the floor... a hostile NPC wielding it, at least, would be nice.

sorry for the double post, but during a not-so-small break [which got few people worried :\ since I was a dumbass, not saying a thing to anyone] I managed to venture a bit into other things. Results are my first shield and helmet - not very neatly shaped, but decent. High-poli, too... if I manage to make a proper NPC with dialogues and quest, it'll be my first mod.

Altmer Artifacts

[The Metal Mallet]

Haha, cool set there Milanius. It looks like you could stab an opponent with ANY of those items, that's including the armour!

Nice work.

[Taillus]

Oh wow those artifacts are truly breathtaking. Quite impressive indeed!!!! I really liked that claymore as well. I really have to learn how to do some of this stuff!

[Ibis]

Milan,
I've just caught up with your latest brilliant works. Love the dagger in Morrowind and the Dwemer artifacts just take my breathe away. *o*

[milanius]

Oh... thanks. Due to huge lazyness on my behalf I haven't done nothing new in ages -_- but if you're interested in Zarrexaij's mod, it is done and you can get it HERE.
