3D Weapon Model Contest

[Vaion]

Well, needless to say I am not the best 3D Graphics designer and just do not have the time or patience to learn it right now. So, with that being said, I am holding a contest to see who can create the best version of the following weapon.

Contest Rules:
1) The model must be in .obj format.
2) The model must be of the weapon shown in the below image.
3) The model must include applicable UV maps and bump/normal maps.
4) There are no limit on the number of submissions, if you submit one and then revise it, submit it again.
5) All submissions must be sent to Vaion in a Private Message. Feel free to post screenshots/updates here if you want.
6) The contest will conclude roughly around September 20th (will depend on submissions)

Contest Rewards:
The reward will vary depending on the submissions. Everyone who puts in the time and effort to attempt to make a model of the weapon will receive some kind of reward (based on likeliness to the weapon), and the grand prize will be determined based upon the level of detail and likeliness of the model to the image. Potential grand prizes could be donator rewards, a unique/custom artifact with its own unique Worn2 ability, unique/custom AA.

Weapon Graphic to be modeled:



So, for all you out there who have ever dabbled in 3D modelling, this is your chance to shine! Let the Blender Rendering begin!

If there are any questions, comments or concerns, please feel free to post them here. But, also try to keep this thread on topic/clear of side conversations.

It's actually going to be part of the final event in the next raid zone after Vex Thal (Plane of Shadows). Every class will be able to equip it.

Great idea V, good luck to those who enter! Wish I had 3D design skills. :p

There is only one way to develop such skills at one point I never thought I would learn a computer language, and a few years later I know 6 different ones.

You should learn french instead of computer langage , much more effective with the ladies !



I wish I could help on this 3D contest , but I can't even draw a dick on MSpaint.

What game is that weapon from out of interest? I used to do some 3d modelling so might give it a bash if I find time.

And are there any limits on poly count and texture size?

After a bit of research I think it comes from EQ 2 in Drinals Castle. This was helpful because I was able to find some other images of the weapon in the hands of its owner.

The weapon is Drinals staff from EQ2. Im making a storyline for it specially for THF

As for the poly count, EQLive player studio limits to 400 triangle faces. Personally I've sculpted up to 556 triangles and been able to import it to EQ just fine. Normal texture size of my imports has been 512x512.
