Adding custom items and weapons to SoM (unsticky me please)

@Hwitvlf
What, pray, is this international standard of which you speak. Is this for the game or general 3d? I know 1 mqo unit is 1 metre when I export to most other apps.

Would it make sense to have a base model so we could all chip in with some armour or a cod peice! etc ?

Cant be without the piece of cod.

Cant be without the piece of cod.

Not in this day and age!

Ha, I'd hate to get mixed up and eat a cod piece while wearing a piece of cod.

As far as the 'international humanoid standard', I think it's mostly about relative proportions and number of bones. There's a brief description of it here, or, if you want to have the urge to poke your own eyes out so you won't have to read any more technical jargon, the full description is here . It looks like I was wrong in assuming that the common T pose (outstretched arms) were part of the standard though.

I'd very much like to get a standardized animated skeleton going for SoM so we could swap in/out parts. I'm just finishing making the first NPC for my game, when it comes time to make the second, I'll try to swap the first NPC's skeleton/ animations into the second and see how it goes.

Now I want to show you our national sword which I made in meta:

Looks good, especially the 'gutter' of the sword. Well done.

It looks alot like a dark age sword that i'm familiar with. Maybe not a spatha, something... Hmm. Its very unique i have to say. You've done a great job of projecting the metal texture so the scratches go horizontally rather than vertically. It does look like a hand forged blade. Superb!

I'm quite fond of remaking my country / ancestors swords and armour too.

Heres a Japanese tanto i made a while ago.

Wow I love the handle textures. they are so realistic.

[airflamesred]

both very good. What are those spiked ball on a chain things called. I'm thinking Roman? I fancy making one

[Verdite]

A flail? Ive made a few! Flails were used to beat hay and wheat plants with too.

Theres also a sickle and chain, which was famous in Japan as the kurasigama.

[HwitVlf]

Very nice. Similar to a gladius.
