It would be a map that uses that image as a 'mask' where another texture/material will be displayed when certain conditions are met (ie the weapon becomes damaged/used). For a similar use you can see chivalry's blood mask: https://tornbannerjira.atlassian.net/wiki/display/CHIVCOM/Tutorial%3A+Weapon+Bloodmasks
Sure, I'll record a small bit the next time I do an iron weapon :3 Yeah I plan on retexturing all weapons in the game (link in the first post) Yeah lol it's pretty.. different to say the least o__o Still works fine for simple stuff, I guess!
Here are my UV splits. They are 100% based on smoothing splits. Regarding mirroring: where would you have used that on this weapon? I felt that if I mirror texture information on the big elements on the top of the weapon, that would have been too obvious.... but I feel I am wrong :) .
He is looking amazing, Jon! As far as the weapons go, have you thought about giving him one large weapon? He doesn't seem like the dual wielding type to me :) I do like him with the mace, though. Maybe a long handled two-handed mace?
Hey I've been thinking of making a game now for a while, and I'm gonna give it a try. I'm not a random guy who likes playing games and now wants to make some, even though this is going to be my first post take it serious. About the game: The game wont have any narrative design which would prevent lots of works in documents…
It's a bit pedantic but 'How was it done?' and 'How can it be done?' are two different questions. How was it done? Likely sculpted in Zbrush. Probably using a combination of custom alphas and brushes for the smaller details. (Possibly incorporating some remeshing or retopology steps to refine the larger shapes.) Sculpting…
Thank'eh, gents. Means a lot to hear it. Stuff dump: Decided to have the big guy, Gil, use hafted weapons instead of huge swords. Here's his starting weapon: And a sword that Ellie gets later on in the game: Part of a thing: A concept for these things called Wayfarers: Yusssssss.

I never said he shouldn't make it. I'm glad people make very unorthodox weapons. Always a nice change from the more common ones. Calling me closed minded because my oppinion about a weapon goes against yours is just unnecessary.
Great looking weapon for Centaur! I'm really bad at chosing weapon names as well, but just call it something. Valve will make their own names if they don't like it ;) Also that Storm spirit hat is looking great, really fits the character really well. Great work as always!
