<div class="IPBDescription">2nd try at it =D</div> Here's my second attempt at Cloud's Sig. Weapon from FF7. I think this one is better, then the last one considering i used this as a ref <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->
<img src='http://guidesarchive.ign.com/guides/494/char/cloud.gif' border='0' alt='user posted image' />
instead of using some real life weapon of it. I'm not gonna messing around with the first one. Sorry for wasting your <people who helped> time.
The poly count is 667, much lower then my last one.
C & C appreciated. If something looks weird plz reply so i can fix it before releasing it the 3ds file.

ill post more renders later =D.

edit:
still need to do smoothing
also heres another pic close up

    @Chrono
    Do you mean the tip of the blade being a different smoothing group?
    heh, i just finished the smoothing groups. does it still look weird.

    @Demi
    lol, what ds9 model are you talking about anyways.

    @everyone
    Should i make the bottom of the handle more rounded?

    i think the blade is a bit too thick, but otherwise it's perfect!

    I don't get everyone's fascination with the buster sword. Its thick and clunky and dumb looking. There are so many better swords. In fact, every sword I can think of is better than the buster sword.

    However, you did a good job modeling it and it looks like the a buster sword. I would use it if it wasn't the weapon of choice of a such a cross-dressing, snowboarding, weak, screwed-up, spikey-haired, multiple personality, confused, and ugly character.

    *EDITED POST*

    LOL, but hey, Cloud got 3 girls chasing after him.

    @Chrono

    Thnx man for fixing the mistake, guess i have to wait for demi to mesh it.
    I'll start working on the p_model now.


    @Everyone

    IF anybody would like to skin it go ahead.
    Also if anyone is interested in adding custum animations give a reply or pm me, if not i guess i could always use defaults.

    wow you just ps'd off a buncha people. Final Fantasy 7 is one of if not the best game ever. Cloud is one of if not the best characters ever. Granted his buster sword isnt the best, it looks like it is.

    Gj so far btw zwing.

    edit: blah guess no one gonna mesh this, oh well.

    milkshape exporter was messing up the models, but lithunwrap exporter for 3ds works fine.

    I fixed some vert problems on both of the models.

    edit: here is a render of both models

    Your buster sword is looking very... accurate, but can you try making a cool sword like the Soul Reaver, or the Moonlight Sword, too? You know one that doesn't look like LEGO's and fine cutlery had a deformed baby?

    If you think Final Fantasy 7 is the best game ever made, I feel sorry for you. And if you think freaking Cloud is the best character ever, I also feel embarrassed for you. Seriously. Let me guess... Final Fantasy 7 was the first RPG you ever played, and you have never played any others unless they are Final Fantasys?

    Very accurate model by the way, good job (unfortunatly).

    no FF7 is not the first or only RPG i've ever played, i just think it's the best.

    /on topic

    cool, thnx chrono. i dunno where's demi's at. I thought this topic was dead, so i posted help in another forum, I better cancel it over there.

    Uhh Rpg games that are > then FF7

    Super Mario RPG
    FF3 on SNeS <lol Relm's Sketch on Invisible units = glitch giving you multiple items>
    Chrono Trigger
    Zelda Link to the Past

    hehe but ff7 had an expensive ending.

    fine i'll agree with you on SMRPG, and zelda. But nevertheless i still have ff7 rated high on my list.

    And i'm not a total FF7 nut (despite my cloud from advent children avitar) like for istanace i dont like the fact that it was released incomplete, thought it was probably for the best (aeris didnt need to come back to life anyway).

    anywho no more otf spam, i promise

    that sword looks like fun to use in NS!!!

    and I prefer MMORPG's!





    whats wrong with anime?

    The only reason anime is good, is it is perfect. It is the place where everything people wish they could be, do what they wish they could do...et cetera, et cetera. That is why anime = teh goodz.

    Jin Roh is the best. In fact, Jin Roh + Equilibrium > Everything else in the universe.

    *edit* So this isnt spam, i'll contribute. Very good model, Cloud owns, FF7 is the best Final Fantasy, and by far one of the best RPGs, great story. But the best in my book would have to be...a tie between FF7, Legend of Dragoon, and Knights of the Old Republic.
