Final Fantasy Content

               Is there any expert modellers out there who would be up to the task of creating some weapon/armor models?

I've played final fantasy games for close to 10 years now, and they have some very creative and artistic weapons and armor that I would love to see in NWN on my characters.

               I especially like the textures on that green and gold shield.

               I agree, it would be wicked cool to have some Final Fantasy inspired clothing/armor/weapons in the game. It was one thing that was on my list of things to do, once I figure it out, but I think it's outside my ability for now.

               Poly counts on many of these weapons would be restrictive to what the engine can handle.  Just my .02.

               You're right, it will be tough to make some of them low-poly, but I'll have a play around in 3DS Max and see if I can 'fake it' with lower poly and transparencies, which I suspect is probably the best way to go about it for the really high poly equipment.

               Thx Guys,
Any FF Type content would be much appreciated by all.
I would love to have maybe the armor, or even one or two of the swords on Characters.
I've already got the Legacy of Kain Soul Reaver sword as a Long Sword on my server- it would be epic to have some of these beautiful blades.

               hmm! From a practical point of view FF stuff and many manga designs are totally useless. Without any kind of magic there is no way that these weapons have a balanced hilt and blade. But cool looking stuff anway.

edit:
the last weapon doesnt looks right at all to me. Looks more like a piece-to-piece work where the designer had no clue what the final vision was like and just drew the long blade on top of the butterfly like weapon...thats to chaotic for my taste for a pseudo weapon of ellegance.  And if that is the scabbard have fun with ripping of your fingers trying to draw it out being ambushed

               Baba Yaga, you're absolutely right, a lot of it is impractical. But, both FF and NWN are video games, so it's possible to make a choice between pure functionality, or aesthetics, that won't significantly impact anything.

In addition to making some of the recognizable items, I might try come up with a few independent designs with a more practical appearance while still keeping that JRPG feel.
               
               

               
            

[Legacy_NWN_baba yaga]

               I agree that video games are there to have this very freedom we dont have in real life and I admire most of the japanese artists for their drawing techniques. It´s just not my style but that´s secondary.
There are many designs that are both fantastic and believable looking which in the end also keep a balance to the original nwn weaponry in general.

               Is it only me or do most of them look far more like carpet cutters than swords? '>
               
               

               
            

[Legacy_NWN_baba yaga]

               Not alone you are Zwerkules '>

......yes precious....bash dem manga style yes yes...not tasty...filthy little manga style yes precious....

               BTW - The last sword is a gun blade.
The bit on the top edge, near the handle is a guard/shield.

Its just a game - so it doesnt need to make practical sense.
I admire these weapons for their beauty if nothing else.

               If you want to see totally ludicrous weaponry you should check out the 1973 TV series "The Water Margin" (Do a quick check on wikipedia for what it was about).

im excited to see someone trying to finally put this out there '> i made a few airship models awhile back based on (you guessed it) final fantasy.

i drew the inspiration from final fantasy 2 and 9 which had the "classical" airship designs, and theyve worked out pretty well!

i enjoy all the works from the final fantasy genera. in particular ff 12, which has alot to offer in terms of  tileset city builds, head models, armor and weapon pieces

               On the subject of airships and the like, I was already considering making a general sci-fi ship placeable pack (so you can put them down on any terrain you like). Should I add some of the spaceships from Final Fantasy to that pack too?
