[wip] Buster Sword

BAshh · June 2004

dude i've played FF7 for years, it's not right

*.*edit, i cant find anything to support this but every time i've seen it in game it's been the way i'm saying...

Chanty · June 2004

the buster sword doesn't have a "V" point...it has a slanted end

if links dont work, well....whatever, just search on google for "cloud sword"

Bashh, maybe you are thinking of a different weapon cloud has?
the buster sword is pretty much, exactly as zwing modeled it (awesome work btw)
i'll prolly be using the cell shaded one, just for kicks ^.^
any chance of it being skinned like the sword in Kingdom Hearts? (wrapped up)

google wouldnt open for me, and secondly, no cloud doesnt have any other weapon that looks like the buster sword lol... the v shape just makes more sense to me, i guess. thanks for clearin that up though.

couldn't he get a whole bunch of different swords though?

anyways, the model is looking good. might have to try it out <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' />

BAshh · June 2004

yes but not a one looks like his original, which happens to be the buster sword. And for some odd reason even though it's the biggest (second to the Ultimate or Ultima sword) it's the weakest. Hell the baseball bat with nails does more damage

Naigel · June 2004

Hey, while your at it, why not make other FF VII weapons?

It would be fun to see a marine walking around with a gun-arm <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif' /> <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /> !

that'd be best hmg ever!

then the Soilder MG's for mg, one of vincent's rifles for shotty, gl ?, welder ?

Quietstorm · June 2004

MG would prolly do better as a basic Rifle that the Shinra Soldiers use <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /> Use one of Vincents wonderful weapons as Shotty, GL...No clue.

Oh and the Buster Sword looks awesome man GJ!

zwing · June 2004

o_O shotgun = squall's gun blade.

or that gunblade that those sephiroth clones have in the ff7 trailer.

Chanty · June 2004

make a red materia, fires out fire bolts really fast (LMG/HMG)
blue materia fires out a volley of frost (shotgun
GL = ultima

zwing · June 2004

now all i need is an animator to make some custom animations of the sword for natural-selection hands. if anyone interested plz reply.

anyways heres what it looks like ingame with cstrike, just using it as a test to see what the model looks like ingame. just used y-5 origin because of the big clipping of the sword and the right hand. this is not what its gonna look like in natural-selection < hand/animations>.

Icejelly · June 2004

how 'bout barrett's mg arm for GL? it's pretty darned big and looks like it could hold 'nade rounds instead of hmg. <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' />

Kenichi-SNK · June 2004

Actually, if you make a FF8 sword using squalls gunblade, having the item as the shotgun model WOULD make perfect sense <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' />

Demiguise · June 2004

why dont you, make the Sword, and then have it as both the knife and the Shotgun!
my, you could make a super gun that just changes to suit it...

im onto something here :o

zwing · June 2004

heres what the knife looks like in ns with udder's skin and default animations. ill try and make some other models maybe next weeks when school is finnaly out.

TheUdderOne · June 2004

Cool stuff.

Quaunaut · June 2004

GJ, but whoever ends up skinning this: PLEASE MAKE IT ALL SCRATCHY AND STUFF.

Make it like the one in advent <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' />

Sorry for DBL postness:

I've been wanting someone to do this for a while. JUST MAKE SURE TO NOT DO IT FOR LMG, HMG, PISTOL, or GL with the gunblade. Shotgun works PERFECTLY.

zwing · June 2004

nm on the cell shaded stuff, realized it would cost so much polies to do it. ill get started on the gunarm first.

ill try and make it look more high poly/better with the gun arm considering its only 6/5 sided cylinders stuck together.

how bout this for the hand gun? vin's pistol.

It is, look back at my other renders...and i've already skinned it....as u can see.

zwing · June 2004

heres my gunarm.
pc:792, used 12 sided cylinder

edit: maybe ill add some bolts later if the pc isnt doesnt get too high.

TheUdderOne · June 2004

If u want sum1 to mesh it, you could send it my way, i need some practice so I can mesh my other guns better.

Demiguise · June 2004

or you could send it to me...
a now non-n00b to skinmeshing

TheUdderOne · June 2004

i am equally non-n00b...who's meshed the more complicated weapon out of us...hm me! i win! n00b!

CoolCookieCooks · June 2004

what was the point in hollowing the barrels? O_o

OrganoX · June 2004

i wanna have Sephiroth long sword <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' />

Trex2 · June 2004

lol final fantasy <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /> hehe

Naigel · June 2004

Hey, if you would make a gun arm, it would look like as if you were making a FF conversion pack!

*hint hint*

zwing · June 2004

the barrels are hollowed because i tryed to make it look like this. hmm maybe a waste of polies but oh well.
<img src='http://www.ffseven.com/image/characters/barret/large.jpg' border='0' alt='user posted image' />

heh maybe, i dunno yet about the conv.

anyways heres what it looks like now

smooth shaded:
