f03n1x' Weapon Concepts/Mods

[f03n1x]

So I just gave it a shot made a bow wanted to see what it would look like in game and yeah it looks like any basic bow would look like I had to edit it a couple times due to it being scaled weirdly (instead of the bow being oval shaped it was U shaped lol really odd) so yeah he doesn't attack with it I guess due to no animation but apart from that it worked. Can't wait till bows come out and I try a proper concept out
well here is a crappy edited screenshot of what it looks like in game.


Thought I'd update the title and just add in all my Mods/Concepts for Kenshi since I quite enjoy modding this game it's so much simplier than other games I've modded.

Well here is another more successful(compared to the bow which is meh tbh) Cloud's Buster Sword
It was probably going to be done sooner or later but I decided I'd give it a shot and well here we are:



apart from the forums cutting off the images slightly I think it looks pretty similar to the sword I just have to redo the blade so that its actually sharp, haven't found a good picture that shows the sword from the blade end I work mostly from screenshots, but yeah this was my second attempt at the sword the first being just finding out a method on how to make the sword to begin with.


I'll probably update this thread with the proper Buster Sword texture file if anyone wants it just for lolz I guess I have it set up for a custom campaign surprisingly called "The Buster Sword" which is basically a duplicate of the "The Holy Sword".

Alright so I was just browsing the forums and I found something that peak my interest (if thats the right term) this flail thing that Jimbob7944 posted about looks really awesome I had a go at making it, it wasn't an exact copy but I think I'd look awesome in game however from what I can see it won't suit kenshi much lol, Thanks Jimbob7944 for the idea I'm gonna have a look around for something else to make.



Also found my old photobucket account and found a nostalgic image of this bow I made awhile back, not sure if I have the file still but I really miss it, I guess I could try make it again not sure how that will go since I used a scanned drawing as a basis for the design lol




Last concept for the night (4am atm lol)


I just based this off the halberd from Dark Souls I remember my brother getting it, I actually never found it myself and instead found the Dark Knight sword but yeah I still think this looks pretty awesome I might try it in Kenshi later on today along with texturing the Buster Sword fixing it so that its sharp (Apparently looks like a Cleaver), redo the bow so you know doesn't look like crap lol, maybe make the other bow if I can find the scanned image somewhere and texture the Halberd, lots of stuff to do but I like being busy instead of wasting my semester break.

Anyways I don't mind taking requests as long as it isn't the impossible lol, I'm a big anime fan so I'll probably make Ichigo's sword at one point lol, which won't be hard since its basically a normal katana with a sword different hilt or his big blade that I've made many times before.

Hope you guys like my work I'll try put more effort into the screenshots maybe find Photoshop so I can do the textures better.

Well I try to redo the buster sword's blade make it more sharp and this is what I've done



I think it doesnt look too bad though even redoing the blade itself didnt bring the vertices count one bit (The hilt has around 1400 vertices since I like to be detailed) I wish I could bring that done a bit it doesn't make the sword load slower or anything it actually looks quite nice in game.

Added another screenshot this model has 400 less vertices which I think is a pretty good effort on my part and I also realized where the hilt started was wrong so I fixed that up too, my brother who I think is a photoshop genius is working on the texture so I'll probably add it tomorrow or hopefully later today.


Alright so my brother just finished the texture and apart from the little pink areas it looks really nice, though it only looks best when the reflectivity is set to 1, well here you go guys.



Alright I'm not going to be doing much work on these swords for a bit but just so people can see I've done some work to start off with heres a poster sized version of all the work I've done theres still more room I guess that will be the in game weapons when my brother is done with the textures

Weapon Mods Kenshi 1.png (1.84 MiB) Viewed 17072 times

I guess half of these don't fit the game but they are mods so its not like they are supposed to be in game

oh and if anyone wants to play around with them in game I'll make a mod with a campaign that has character using these weapons maybe underpower them or make it so you're super slow just so its not game breaking lol, that is if you want them I guess tell me sometime soon just so I don't forget, I'll be doing some studying for netbeans since I have to learn to use it next semester.

Hello

I would like to ask if you can do Clouds outfit with that sword as an starter for the game
It would be rly Beast Ähem

and i have requests to make:
Auron Outfit+One of his Swords if its possible
Ichigo´s bankai outfit+Zangetsu or White Captain outfit
big anime fan aswell here
I would be rly grateful to you thank you

[windows 98]

wish i had those skilsl :3 would love to model weapons for this game :3

[f03n1x]

Alright thanks for the feedback guys fallen I'd definitely get right on that I'm not really sure if I can do cloud's outfit I'm not that great with clothes just weapons and windows I spent 2 years mostly spare time on working with blender I'm sure if you really want to you could just use blender and get a feel for how it works I personally never used a tutorial but instead worked with shear effort xD so many days spent on blender lol Alright so I'll do the following:

Cloud's outfit (probably just a texture edit of something similar)
Auron's outfit and his Masamune (Just looked it up and it looks beast I love complicated sword designs!)
Ichigo's Bankai outfit and Zangetsu which well Zangetsu its actually quite easy lol well if its the katana type its easy and well his older Zangestu is sorta easy to do aswell hell I'll do both!

I love anime and 3d modeling and programming lol when I combine all those I get an epic explosion of awesomeness (in my mind that is lol).

Alright so apart from the costumes I'll do the weapons since they are the easiest for me to do.

Thanks again for the feedback I know it's only been about a day when I started this thread but I kinda thought my model's weren't good enough but I guess people just tend to come on this forum at random times xD.

[windows 98]

ya, maybe lol; i really want to make the sword from the manga Gutts that he uses lol.

[f03n1x]

Oooh yeah I actually done that sword my friend asked me to make it awhile back for a game I use to mod I don't have the model itself but I could add it to the to do list, I could even give you some tips if you need them for blender just add me on steam my username is f03n1x I'm usually on all the time.

Alright so I've had a go at making the Masamune for Auron and here is my first try:

masamuneconceptone.png (44.65 KiB) Viewed 17226 times

I had to stop now because I kept adding more things to it and its over 1000 vertices again xD

and for those of you who don't know what it looks like (I didn't till recently lol)

here is a very awesome side view that I used to get the basic shape of the sword

Figureren_Masamune.jpg (29.33 KiB) Viewed 17226 times

I did change it up a bit I try to add stuff just for the hell of it xD to see if it works or not and yeah this is what I got so I'll probably work on it more later after a break.

[windows 98]

Epic :3

[fallenPants]

Waow dude Your skilled into that i´m looking forward to play with those
glad your doing this !!! keep it up

[hbrown]

Keep up the good work .

[f03n1x]

Thanks guys I really do appreciate the feedback umm I just woke up lol I was up till 5am with that sword I was supposed to go to bed early and help my dad out around 9am but I was thinking meh I'll just stay up till then and then my so-called break was me sleeping lol so yeah I didn't get up when I was supposed to, anyways I get to make Zangetsu's both old and new and the blade that Guts used in Berserk right? , I actually remember having the model but its been badly made xD so I'm gonna start from scratch with that one. Oh and the only talent I have really is diligence lol, if I didn't spend hours upon hours with this program then well I wouldn't be able to make badass weapons but yeah thanks again for the feedback guys I really appreciate it.

Oh yeah I spent some time awhile back designing a turret (think a kinda team fortress 2 turret), It was fir a paper Computer Technology in Society or CTiS as I like to refer to it, anyways apart from not having much to do with CtiS we were allowed to 3d model something and print it off and this is the result of all of that work:

I made the legs bigger but never took a screenshot.

exploded view 2.PNG (82.25 KiB) Viewed 17226 times

I had to do a lot of work but I made that from scratch kinda taking the basic shape and stuff from the Team Fortress 2 turret, my group wasn't that helpful (I said I'd design the turret, what I meant was I'll make it in Blender3d what they though was I'll make the designs and make it in Blender3d lol) its on the google+ we used if you want to take a look at the development through the weeks. So yeah at the end of the day we got to take home a 3d printed version of the turret and I wished it was life sized but oh well lol, for that small model I cost me around $45 it came down to the assumption that the base (where the legs are connected) being a solid piece was the majority of the price, anyways just thought I'd share that with you guys lol.

Alright so I haven't started the Zangetsu's or Gut's sword but I did put this into the game, I love seeing my models in game, even without a texture it gives me that satisfactions of me actually doing something, anyway heres what it looks like:

masamuneconcepttwo.png (243.04 KiB) Viewed 17226 times

Now the sword has a bit of reflectivity to it, you can probably see it lol but yeah it needs it for the texture later on.

Alright so I'll get started on the Zangetsu swords.

[f03n1x]

Alright so I've finished the concepts for Zangetsu both with and without Bankai I'm pretty happy with the non Bankai one but the katana type I don't like because of the blade I can't do katana blades lol, I did give it a good shot though

Zangetsuconceptoneandtwo.png (85.33 KiB) Viewed 17226 times

wow could've uploaded the images straight to the forum I didn't know that lol

Alright so I'll be working on Gut's sword now and wow I work fast xD

[fallenPants]

Dude That turret looks awesome

and your swords cant wait for them

masamune looks rly badass! Gj on that one

if you ask me Your bankai zangetsu looks good to me but that non bankai one Perfect !

For the mod you should put those weapons on the actual characters like Auron/ichigo/cloud
as for the outfits I think aurons outfit would be easiest to do with The monk set of the game
just need to change some details of them but first stay at them weapons they look rly great
I myself started to watch some tutorials with blender its seems rather difficult to use to be honest but i try to make aurons outfit but i´m not sure for now

Keep doing what u Do looks rly awesome

[f03n1x]

Thanks fallen again I do appreciate what you say, the one thing that concerns me about making outfits isn't actually the model itself its just will it be on the character and bind like normal clothes will or do I have to do something special like add bones and stuff, I mean I could give making it a shot I just wonder what happens when I try it in game, will it float in space (happened with an mmo I tried to edit a knight helm by having the visor down it ended up just sitting on the ground next to my character lol) or will it be as easy as I've done with the weapons. (Hopefully but you know its not always that easy)

apart from that I think tutorials tend to make it look difficult but what you only need to know is how to move the camera (Middle Click), Extrude (E), Scale(S), Move vertices (G) and Rotate (R) and when using Extrude, Scale, Move and Rotate all respond to the X, Y and Z keys for the different Axis.

Now I use the old Blender 2.49b because I'm stubborn about key binding changes (they change a bunch of things like Camera Centre I still have yet to find the actual key for that in the new one) and they made the UI copy Maya and 3DS Max (Well it's my opinion I liked the old look) so if you want to try just find that old version and add me on Steam like I said to windows I'm on all the time and aside from being at uni(On break at the moment) I'm playing Kenshi and 3D modeling lol, so you can ask me anything you need to know about, I wouldn't mind teaching someone the way I learnt lol.

Yeah I guess that blade isn't too bad, I've seen a lot worse, and actually made a lot worse xD, I'm taking a little break from Blender it won't be long just enough to progress into Kenshi a bit (I keep soloing and dying because of it lol), I can make a Campaign that involves people from Final Fantasy I could wait till Females are out and add them to the Squad lol if I could get the Conversation Editor to work I could make a sort of small storyline but yeah that doesn't work so I'll probably have to wait till it does.

[f03n1x]

Even though I said I'd take a break while playing Kenshi I thought of how to do Gut's sword and apparently it's called Dragon Slayer so I paused Kenshi yet again and made this:

BerserkDragonSlayerconceptone.png (206.3 KiB) Viewed 17220 times

I guess its down to clothing designs I'm gonna take a proper break now lol probably try it tomorrow or something I was thinking of adding these weapons into the Research part for Heavy Weapons, except the Bankai Zangetsu which would be Katanas that was sorta the whole reason of playing Kenshi oh and making a base again since I decided to start from scratch from this new update. I kinda wanna do Guts' Armor it looks pretty awesome but probably hard to pull off lol, again I have to find out if I need to do anything special for cloth.

Hello man, i really like your work . I would like to start modding myself, so i downloaded blender, finished some tutorials and such... i even modelled a storage box for steel bars in blender. Problem is, tha i dont know how to get it in the game.
I use blender 2.67b.. the only option on webside.. (but i diidnt really look for later versions).. anyway it looks like there is no good exporter for this version of blender.

Can you advise me in that matter? Should i get myself 2.49? I would prefer to stay with 2.67.. since i only know this one..

How do you get those awsome swords in the game?

Thanks.. btw. i have my own thread with that guestion.. just saw you have the knowledge i seek after i wrote it.

[windows 98]

OMG gutts sword looks awesome :3 i want it lol

[f03n1x]

Well apparently my brother doesn't want to do the textures so he basically told me to do them myself lol and since it takes me a while to do textures I'll put the swords in game and stuff but I'm have to learn how to properly texture everything but hes right though I mean if I can make the sword I can texture it and I guess in maybe a few days (hopefully) I'll be done with the texture and I'll make a mod with all the characters with their swords I guess there might be two Ichigo's though lol

Oh and last night I tried to make clothes but yeah it didn't work so I asked Chris through twitter to maybe share how he does the clothes, I wanna make clouds clothes and stuff and the easiest way for me would be just modifying existing clothes but I can't even convert the .mesh! so I'm stuck with making it from scratch and not having a model to use as well a model lol so I'm done with the swords I guess I'll make the texture files and stuff and put them in game I'll post what they look like in game and then actually properly do the textures I guess Ichigo's swords and Guts' sword won't be so hard I think it's just Auron's Masamune that will give me some problems oh well we'll see.

[f03n1x]

I'm really horrible at texturing and so I am going to beg my brother to texture my weapons because i bought him a copy of Kenshi

Apart from that I'm going to try make some european style swords despite the animation being wrong I'm going to try pull it off wish me luck!

I tried making a baselard

(for people who don't know what it looks like heres a link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baselard)

baselard my version.png (6.44 KiB) Viewed 17105 times

anyways I can't really say that it's ugly or awesome looking but I gave it a shot for some reason it just looks like a one handed sword though I can't seem to get it to look like you use both hands with, oh and yeah I extended the hand guard a bit I do that with a lot of sword I randomly make

Alright last sword model for today/tonight I gave the zweihander a try just because its one of those badass weapons I love lol I think I did a good attempt at it but I'm used to things like the buster sword so it's again kinda hard to tell if I did it right or not xD

Alright so I was bored and while on a skype call with my friend who is in France right now I decided to make this Ebony Axe you know the one from Skyrim Well here it is:

I think it looks quite similar to the picture I was working on which is here:

But ya'know just my opinion I think its time for some sleep.

make sure the second sword the space in between the Hilt and the next set of spikes, isn't sharp, because it was dull on purpose. :3 just in-case you didn't know.
