CRA Sword


Edit: I am so sorry to anyone who's been here for downloads - somehow I had not saved the layout properly (twice) and the L4D2 downloads page never existed. It is now linked as of August 16, 2016. Also apparently I even broke the GTAIV downloads page in the process.

Slacking on getting BH's sword into GTAIV. I think I'll mod it in as the bat since there aren't any other suitable weapons.

In the meantime, according to a suggestion from user on GameMaps, I ended up making CrA's sword. Much much easier to do the mesh - it actually ended up in one piece, it took about 4-5 hours to make the model and another 4-5 to get the textures as it is now.
Adding normals to this sword, the final tri-count with all the bevels is nearly over 15k. The low poly version (which will still have the orbs and all important details with actual geometry) is 5-6k.

I'm thinking about trying to add some scratches to BH's blade and CRA's. The textures look a bit dull at the moment, especially upclose.
