Rune Shield touchup+A shield that needs a purpose

[Sabre]

We see Rune Shields all the time, and the fact that they look kinda crappy is kinda annoying(Especially with that offcenter texture ><), so I made it anew.



That's the rview; don't mind the arm going through the shield. I can't get the fuxing worldviews to compile, so if you guys like what you see, I'll send what I got to Orochi and Thothie, so ye can see it in the next patch.

Note: the back does not have the rune on it, and the rune and the five bosses are spherical and protruding.
Second note: The textures took me all of five minutes...But I like them, so don't expect changes. (Cept for the edge texture, I used the same one from the first runeshield.)

 

[Shurik3n]

I like the rune shield how it is, I just wish it had a higher res/on center texture.

 

[J-M v2.5.5]

I actually like the rune shield. Basically everything has already been said:
Centre the texture and make it higher res.

That is all

 

[villager]

Idk, it doesn't look like a rune shield to me, but it looks damn fine!

 

[Sabre]

We can always repurpose it, of course. I'll see if I can pretty up the original as well.

 

[Jelly]

Actually, MS:C would look really awesome, and much better than many other mods, if only everything was covered in high-res textures. :roll:

 

[Tull]

Looks really nice, 'cept the center thingey with the squares that looks weird. But it's not very runey, tbh.

Heh, in designing it I was sticking by the original skin, which is a + inside a circle...But no matter, I'm scrapping this as a rune shield, and trying to take the existing skin and give it a minor redux.

New idea
I can put a jewel in the middle, and make this a shield for the Deralia Royal Guard, which I just made up

 

[The Man In Black]

I prefer the current rune shield. It definitely looks like it is supposed to look.

 

[Sabre]

Alright, using my Photoshop hax, I have dissected the skin, and soon I shall make it a bit crisper, not to mention on center

 

[Sabre]

BAM!


That's probably the best I can get, since the original skin was tiny, and rectangular, which gave the rune an oval shape. I isolated the + and the ring around it, and then I made a new backing for them, and then added a bit of shading at the original spots, and then the same for lightening. Most importantly, I got the whole ring in, and centered it on the shield.

EDIT: It will look brighter in-game, so I might darken it up a bit, pending opinions.

 

[Fehi]

That's nice but I would not like to see the other shield go to waste. I say post both of them and allow the people to choose. Old, SHD (Slightly HD) Rune shield or new SD rune shield.

 

[Belmont]

Sabre, little request.

Could you get the Urdualian shield texture and modify it to it fits on your first shield and then upload it?

I would do it myself but right now my GIMP refuses to work.

(I request this because U. shield is just too big and the first model looks awesome!)

 

[Sabre]

I don't have a worldmodel for the first shield, it refuses to compile...

Brainstorm some uses for said shield, please. Maybe I can get MiB to make it happen, or something.

 

[Belmont]

Oh crap, I might just replace the normal rune shield for the U. shield because it's just too big. (I love playing in 3rd person >_<)

Make what happen? :|

Not a fan of how the shield looks metallic.

 

[Wrath]

I think the first shield you posted should be a little more icy.

 

[villager]

BAM!

I think the shield should look more stone and less metallic, but other that it looks awesome

 

[PBarnum]

My shield will stay as is.

Which shield?

 

[The Man In Black]

The rune shield. It should be stoney.

 

[Sabre]

I'll probably darken it up, then.

 

[Red Cell]

Okay I fixed it.

 

[Sabre]

I lmao'd XD.
I forgot to 'stone up' the Rune Shield, but haven't been able to anyways. Expect a couple changes this week, or something.

 

[Jelly]

I like Red Cell's version, he should make reskins of all models.
