[WEAPON]Katar

[Flakk]

Just wanted to show what I put together for fun. I accidentally overwrote my original PSD-file with a merged and sharpened version... So I hate myself for that. But still pretty happy with it. The default sword attack animation works surprisingly well with the katar. It does clip with the ground a bit though. Could perhaps squeeze it together a bit to avoid that... or, just make a completely new weapon class with new animations of course

[JBeck]

Nice work!
You'll be happy to see some of these types of weapons in our new 'fist weapons' class for TL2.
We're actually working on some animations for them now
Snikt!

That looks sweet.

[Zidders]

Ohh! Snikt! >.>

Btw...AWESOME Katar. REALLY fits in well with the games art style. Awesome...please tell me this is going to be a mod.

Fantastic !
Hey, happen to need another animator or artist over there : D?

It was mostly done for my own amusement, so I'm afraid no big mod plans ;I.

[gluemchen]

So you just want us us to gaze upon your work and drool over it?! Thats Sadistic xD

[Whoguy]

Really great job, this would probably one of the most popular mods if you posted it on the RGF for download

[Arkham]

Damn nice.

[Flakk]

Thanks guys! I guess I'll just make some extra changes to the texture I was thinking of (as far as I can with no layers), add an icon, some proper stats and get some sort of release for it.

[Phanjam]

that's a really good looking weapon! Yes PLS make it a mod! I would love to use it for my melee-build Vanq and Valkyrie charcaters!

There you go. Unfortunately it clips a lot with the ground on the Destroyer.

[Dusho]

any chance you're still around and want to post some 'tutorial' or some tips and tricks how to mimic Torchlight style? or any other artist that managed to do so...
Would like know simple methods how to reproduce that 'blocky' shading on blades and overall. By now I've realized that textures are drawn in a way that light comes from above and fake shades have shape to contour quads of 3d model.. but so far I'm just going frenzy with brush and then smudging the hell out of it.. then I curse.

There were a couple tutorials posted somewhere on here that I got some use out of. I'll see if I can dig them up for you.
If I can't find them on the forum then I'll just post up what I've got (one's a step-by-step JPG, the other is a step-by-step PDF).

Okay, I found it, but I had to find it in the Google cache -- attempting to go to the thread itself results in a bizzare message saying "You are not authorized to read this forum." (This despite the fact that the thread is in Art & Sound, which I'm posting in with no problems right now.) I also can't find the thread title listed in the topics list for this section of the forum, so who knows what happened.

But anyway, the two links in question are in the second-to-last post of the thread. I'll post them here to make it easier.

There's also a nice tutorial from a guy who was working on a snow tileset in this thread:

Thanks for that !!!

[Phanjam]

yeah thanks Arkham!

[Arkham]

No problem. Glad I could be of help.
