Here is a web player preview of a flame sword. The intention is to make a set of elemental fantasy swords in a pack, with particle animations that can be transfered from one weapon to another as desired.
Elements would include - Fire, Ice, Lightning, and acid. FlameSword WIP
Thank you! I have added a Frost Sword to the pack today. Hoping to drum up some interest in the pack prior to releasing it, so I’ll be posting samples as they are complete.
Thank you Feyhu. The first pack will be 4 swords with 4 interchangeable particle effects. I plan to sell it through the asset store. As far as price goes, I’m undecided. On other 3D sites I’ve seen a single sword model sell for $20 - 50 bucks. Mind you some of them are crazy high poly props.
All these swords are game ready, aprox 500 - 700 triangles with hand painted 2048 dif / spec and normal maps.
4 swords, 4 particle effects - I’m thinking $20 bucks for the pack, any suggestions / opinions on that ?
Oh, lol. The fire is probably the heaviest, it’s spawning a couple hundred particles. But it could be turned down if needed and still look acceptable. You can always repeat the texture UV and drop the emission by half for performance.
I tested on a laptop, with built in ATI 4200 HD ( 256 meg ) and they all ran fine. The swords are meant to be for a main character, not an army, I’m sure an army of flame sword wielding thugs would probably kill any machine
