Hi, I’m currently working on a blade in order to integrate it in the game as a skin (hopefully it will be included). I layered most of the ideas and refined the details/shapes. Most of the details will come inside Substance Painter now. Any advice / suggestions before I get to the texturing ? Thanks.
Hey this topic is still alive, I’ve been quite busy with what’s happening worldwide. I dug some time to move on and low poly my crafted weapon. So nothing really complicated besides optimising the mesh with the max polycount (3500 tris) and keep as much of the original detail as possible.
Though I stumbled on some issues while baking, there was no other way than to create a duplicate of my lowpoly and add some geometry to help the baking process. Now it works like a charm for the most part.
Here’s a sneak peak to the final low poly model. The texture is still under development, but close to what I looking for.
Any thoughts about it ? Maybe not enough “Warframish” on the details side? I’d love to know what you think about this piece!
See you soon !
Hi again, I manged more time for this piece !
I went for another feel about the blade, though the blade should be of steel I wanted it to be like if it was carved into an emerald stone or any coloured stone to be honest.
A color variant(s) test:
What do you think about these ?
Hi Hugo,
Very nice!
Ik like the one in green.
Hey I can’t believe I didn’t keep this post up. So I had a hard time making this blade work properly, the previous results were too grungy and lacked a proper reading. I’m trying at the moment some colors composition on this blade. It’s near the result I’m looking for
These seem to work better than before, more readable. What do you think ?
Thank you ! unfortunately I had to go for another texture approach. Maybe I’ll continue that one and improve the work on it
I had some more time to review this blade and take it to the next step. I reviewed the modeling, so this is the definitive version : 
Textured it looks like this (main + color variations) :
I learned a lot doing this one. I hope this will make its entry into the game though it’s my first weapon modeling for it. Let’s see how it goes
Hi guys here’s the final version of this weapon, actually on steam waiting for player’s votes, hoping this will get into the game 
There have been some changes on the design to suit better what’s expected from a weapon of this type.
