Today, everyone gets to grab hold of a shark. A red one. It likes to eat slowly swimming things filled with blood, such as fishermen, pearl divers, adventurers, and maybe even freshly fed stirges (if they were to end up underwater somehow).


 


Day 2: Blood Shark

Next to serrations, nothing says "yeah, I don't want that to stab me" like a wavy bladed sword, what with all that extra cutting surface area. Plus, it's just got style. This one is for greatswords (and was made right along with all the other greatsword blades when I did Project Reforged).

I doubt I could manage to model a flat surface. I just get to enjoy all the stuff that gets created for nwn1.

My PW's goblins and kobolds needed proper weaponry, which meant javelins. So, I made a small, narrow spear model, set it up as a new dart appearance, and my small devious humanoids have been happy ever since (except for when home invaders burst into their caves, murder them, and take their stuff...damned "adventurers").


 


Day 4: Javelin (Dart)

Im going to be a little mercenary here cause I've been eyeing them greedily over the years; will the ioun stones ever be released for public consumption?

Kobolds will be happy if I ever get around to one of those oddities on the Mecheon Let's Actually Make This List, which is of course the Ferrous dragons and, most important, the Cobalt Dragon, the dragons said to have originally created the kobolds

Any chance of the original frizbees, aka discus. If so, just need a throwing hammer for an athletics meet.  '<img'>

Maybe in the future. The ioun stones in Aenea are run by a rather convoluted system with a lot of stuff in my module and haks; I don't even remember all of it right now (it's been 4 or 5 years already since I last worked on them)...it would take a while to relearn how I did them and export them in a way to make them useful to other builders.


 


If you're talking just the VFXs themselves, they're just recolored versions of BigfootNZ's Ioun Stone VFX (I think I used some really simple textures and Notepad to modify the models). His are likely brighter and more colorful.

Not from me. You'd not only need the weapon models, you'd all new PC/NPC animations for throwing the things. I am not a skilled animator.


 


Oh, and gmax has been a pain for me to use lately (probably since Windows 10, doesn't like to show me what I'm working on while moving vertices, painting weights, etc.). The final entry of the 13 is something I spent 4 or 5 hours finishing, which should have taken less than 1. But I really wanted to finish it, so I did.

hrm. Recolored only? I figured their flight trajectory would have to be modified, too, otherwise they'd collide with one another.

@TAD Hint - I was kidding. That is what the smiley was supposed to convey.

Recolored, removed the glow from most of them (just didn't suit my personal style). I didn't touch flight trajectories...I was never a very good animator, and I modified those years ago. I think I did a delay or something in the scripting to fix visible collisions (it's been several years since I looked at the code for those).

I didn't get time to post yesterday, so here's the next thing for the community.


 


It's a collection of boxes, wrapped in shiny paper and tied with ribbons. For those wanting to add a little holiday or party decoration to their module or PW.
