[RELz] Kurgans Blade

Post » Wed Mar 30, 2011 9:10 am

I am a huge fan of the original Highlander movie, my favourite character was the Kurgan played by Clancy Brown an absolutely superb actor. I always wanted to have some highlander themed weapons and armour for Oblivion but was surprised that I couldn’t find a single Kurgan sword or armour set.
So that left only one option to make it myself, this is the first new mesh I have made for release. This file contains only the Kurgans sword. I will at some point be working on a full set of Kurgan style armour to.

The texture is my first attempt at EnvMap to make it very shiny, as the Kurgan sword doesn't have any real detail, it made it quiet hard to make a decent texture. I will continue working on new textures for this sword but right now this is the best I can come up with. Although not brilliant it still looks decent enough for release.

V1.1 now released also with new texture. needs new mesh (included) as UVmap needed editing

Hope you all like and enjoy

Nice piece of work. You're not only one who love that movie, but I think Kurgan's Blade is similar to the http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Bloodmoon:Stalhrim_Longsword#Stalhrim_Longsword that you can obtain on Solstheim in the Bloodmoon expansion for Morrowind. :thumbsup:

I'm looking forward to your release of Kurgan's armor set. Good luck and thanks for sharing this. :celebration:
