[Chivalry] - Zweihander - Elli Iki

IronWall

Hey all, I am going use this contest as a learning opportunity.

Modo -> Zbrush* -> Substance Designer -> Chivalry SDK

*Zbrush is a maybe

So, I just picked up Modo after using max for the past 6+ years. I wanted to have a licensed program. So I am mainly using this contest to learn Modo.

After researching a lot and playing the game, I really like the Mason Order design aesthetics. My current Idea is to push those aesthetics even further east into Asia Minor(Turkey, Persian, etc) with a non traditional eastern weapon, the Zweihander.

Here is a link to my pinterest inspiration board. I'm make a collage in the following days.

here is a rough concept and some ealry shots of the model. please excuse the poor presentation. It is part of the learning process of Modo, if anyone has tips, they would be very much appreciated.

Quack!

I like the direction the sketch is going. Let me know how learning Modo goes.

Is it Turkish translation of zweihander? I think it should be "iki elli", not "elli iki"(because elli iki means 52 in turkish). I like the concept, good going!

Thank you for catching that! I just did a google translate of "two handed" I'll change it to Iki Elli.

Between a brief history lesson on the zweihander, the fact you cant do faction specific weapons, and I felt like I was forcing a design, I decided to base it more off a claymore instead.
I am keeping the design aesthetics of it being from east and getting rid of the bird theme. I just played around with shapes till I had something I liked. Here are some WIPs
