ORIGINAL POST
decided to attempt a weapon model for use with cloud or sephiroth. probably sephiroth because the way he attacks will make it more authentic.  this is intended to be the DRAGON BUSTER  from THE LEGEND OF DRAGOON. the picture is what ive done so far. its the actual blade/sword part that looks like fiery or gassy. so far ive only been attempting to model for 2-3 days. ill continue working on it and keep updates posted here.

Maybe it's the angle but it loos more 3D then it needs to be, Like the top looks like it's a row of three rather then a single blade with spikes.

Reference in case you need one

thank you.

started last tuesday with absolutely ZERO modeling experience and know how. i started with google sketchup and imported it into blender and that created problems with the materials and textures so i started from scratch and finally figured out how to render with a texture.

i am looking forward to completion. which may be tomorrow i have a few hours to sit and grind on it. so check in in 24 hours

Wow! Looks really good :)
The easiest way I know is to export the model to .3ds format first, then convert it to .p using pcreator.
Then just use kimera to adjust the size and add the texture.

the texture in the picture  is being scrapped. i didnt use uv mapping to do it i made the textures inside blender. im having some trouble getting a uv layout for the handle part still trying. i already tried it in kimera just to see how it would look and it looks off without  a legitimate place to grab so i change that in the future. main priority right now is uv and texture then i can start importing. i can come back later and clean it up as i get better and make releases like v1 1.1 1.2 etc

Oh I thought it was already mapped :P.
I see. Come to think of it, the way Dragon Buster is held is a bit different from ordinary swords  :| huh.

i remembered it as kindof a rapier handle with a flame blade. but as i started reading the little bit i could find online i realized i was completely wrong. its a sword but i guess its kindof a power that can be passed along. tentacles come out of the wielders wrist and form the sword. so i was thinking eventually something like a cylinder with a texture that looks like bound tentacles. who knows

Ah that makes sense. Whenever I saw Lloyd with the Dragon Buster, it just kinda seemed to "extend" from his hand.
Anyways, good luck with the mapping :) .

idk if the game has enemies with a dragon "class" or "attribute" it would be cool though. good question idk if thats possible. just imagine young cloud killing the dragon and sephiroth just being like  :-o

Isn't it possible to add some kind of flame to the sword ingame?
I mean something like the sword burning while being held?

For example, the regen buff in orange active on the sword :P
