I noticed a severe lack of really old weapons on blockland. So, I got bored and made some stuffty models!
new stuff happening - due to the fact that RedGajin has a life, Nasoa has been recruited. Seems that he has made some progress! Yay!

I like them

Not bad, kind of round though.

The models actually are pretty good. lol. The pistol is a little big.

Flintlock pistols are pretty big in real life, but I guess I could scale it down a little...

~~I made a version of the musket with a bayonet and I started making the sabre, but for some odd reason when I push/pull it it becomes hollow on the other side. Wat do?~~
Yay! I got it! Picture in the OP.
It could use a little refinement but I can't do that on sketchup. Maybe that magical person that I hope will come and script for me can refine the model on blender or something. Also, the bayonet is of a good length, it just looks short because of the angle.

No, the pistol is perfect

If you haven't noticed, that add-on is old, has a crappy model and it isn't realistic enough for me.
Also, the cannon and rapier are done. I absolutely LOVE the cannon, but the rapier kinda sucks.
If you think the rapier's hand is positioned oddly, it's based off a French grip in fencing.

I know I'm not going to get anyone to script these for me, so I'll just use those default add-ons in blender as a reference and work from that. I just can't figure out how to export a .skp to a .blend file. Anyone know how?
Or not. I couldn't figure out blender for the life of me. But if someone could put the models in blender an do all the jointing and stuff I may be able to script...

yes, this would be nice

now actual ships on the other hand..

RedGajin · November 12, 2011, 01:05:04 PM

Can we get actual renders of the models, they look better in sketch mode, but actual renders would be good.
Also, I'll script them for you.

What do you mean? I don't really know how to render. I just took screenshots.
And thanks for offering to script. I'll PM you with the models right away. And you can do the cannon right?
Also, due to the odd way of holding many of these weapons I think I may include hands. Mostly to keep them from being like

Yes, I can do the cannon too. Hands would look god on the longer ones, the pistol should be fine with just one hand though.
