Well yeah I made a request on the nexus forum, about retexturing a greatsword to look like the Ultima Weapon from FFVII. That's basically completely retexturing a weapon, so I guess it's too much to ask
Yeah I was just wondering, the result looks very cool indeed ">
Thanks a lot! I'm glad you like it. ">
I don't suppose you take requests...xD
Well, I listen to requests and if I'm feeling in the mood I may give them a try; my texturing skills are really not that great, though. So anything too complex (depending on the texture and request) is probably out of the question. Doesn't hurt to ask though. "> (and I also won't hunt for items I don't own yet just to texture them...)
EDIT: Just tried it out. Looks great, it actually looks hi-res to me :O
Thank you. Like I said the resolution should be fine, and if specular and normal maps are changed as well (which are often forgotten), most textures can be made to look great even with stock resolution.
Looks cool, i'm gonna try it out. I just recently made my very own Zweihander +15 ">
Thanks! Hope you like it. ">
Yeah, it's an amazing weapon. There's simply no going back to weapons that barely scratch most bosses while this beast rips huge chunks out of their HP bar with each hit. Best experience so far? Killing Pinwheel in 2 hits (overhead swings). ">
One question: Does this mod also turn the weapon Hi-res, or is it just a recolour?
Didn't make any changes to texture resolution - couldn't have done more than simply upscaling it and that wouldn't make it any better. Though a higher resolution isn't needed at all IMHO; the original texture resolution is good, and decent texture work is much more important than resolution. All 3 textures (base texture, specular and normal map) have been modified and the results seem good to me. I may work some more on this in the future, though, especially the normal map.
