Nice! I made one in Autodesk Inventor awhile ago.

Don't know what the hell I was thinking with that old axe head. :\

[AshuraDX]

 

needs moar mass , take a look at the top right axe head there, the shape matches yours, but this one appears a bit heavier, to me it looks like the axe blade is prtruding from one side of a 7-sided cylinder and it's a lot thicker than your current blade

also wires pls

 

EDIT :

yup seems to be 7 sided

[Wasa]

Is it going to oneshot  player too ?

[DT.]

Nope, but it will hurt.

 

The code for this weapon is pretty much set up. just need to finish the model, make the gamorrean use it's own GLA & create some animations. Shall look sweet when it's done.

 

After this, I'll make the staff so there's variation.

[minilogoguy18]

Didn't know you wanted to take a whack at animating the gammorean.

[DT.]

Well I figured you've got the AT-ST to do, and I need a break from mapping.

[minilogoguy18]

Yeah, the AT-ST really just needs a death animation which I'm started to want to do something unique like it falling over on it's side. After that it can be put into game, will be busy though the next week getting stuff in life sorted out like making my weekend car road worthy again after sitting in a garage forever since the daily needs some body work after someone hit it.

[DT.]

Small update. I've made the ends of the handle flat rather than rounded. Going for a more weathered & crude look.

[minilogoguy18]

Looks like a kinda high poly model, gonna do a bake?

[DT.]

Nah, I'm just going to texture it. Rend2 won't ever be finished by the looks of it seeing as no one can/is able to help Xycaleth, poor guy is burnt out on it.

[Archangel35757]

The axe head blade seems just a bit too long... nearer the shaft.

[DT.]

Yeah, trying to eyeball a perspective reference really sucks sometimes.

Should be quite accurate now. I know what you're going to say that the axe blade could be reduced, but I've detached the faces on the blade for good shine purposes and I'm still well within my limits.

[minilogoguy18]

Na, the only part that maybe has a little too many sides are the collars that hold the blade to the handle, those torus' should only have around the same amount of iterations around the Y axis as the rest of the handle. The blade IMO is fine, not overdone at all.

[DT.]

I need to increase the handle a tad, forgot it last time. I'll decrease the 'collars' a bit until they and the handle are in sync.

Small tweaks here and there.

[Archangel35757]

It looks like you made the axe blade extend straight out even further from it's base shank. To me it seems it should have a shorter extrusion and start widening sooner (especially on bottom side).

I decided to remove the blade detail seeing as looking closer, it's not in any references. I resized the head a bit to match the reference better. Added a little chip in the blade also.

Update.

 

Consistent colors:

Need to make some animations now.

[Archangel35757]

Wouldn't it look a bit better if you textured a "sharp edge from grinding/sharpening"???

Exactly what I was thinking. Looks relatively unused.

 

Something like this:

Screenshots here are another proof, that JA has so much replayability as well as potential. Just look - a game from 1990s - the Dark Forces - was just a root for a large tree, which eventually turned into a huge and spacious forests. Surely with the fans' help, but still.

 

I mean, that JA is far from DF2, but the memory of that game still lives with even such minor details like this axe.

 

But that is a discussion, for another time, perhaps, as Kreia would put it.
