Description
Modeled and textured in LightWave using surface baking, rendered in Poser.
slowly trying to get my brain around "surface baking" techniques for complex non-organic shapes. This is a quick test for one of those silly gun-blade type of weapons. The name is a "Far Side" gag... this here is called the Thagomizer... named after the late Thag Simmons".
Thanks for taking the time to view this experiment.

What a strange weapon.Great form and modeling.
Nice, give it a two handed sword grip and you could use the grip for a buttstock. This is one sassy tool ^_^
thought it was BAR, but gues not. you shude make same weapon that shots not with blade or render it some more and change that it looks like BAR thou kind of nice pic
Very fascinating and interesting design, but its rather poor from a technical viewpoint. Never fit the barrel to the blade. The blade is under massive stress when used to parry, thus damaging the gun. Without the fitting clips it would be better. The blade itself does also look very broad and clumsy. Would mage the weapon unnecessary complicated to wield both as pistol and sword. An non-sharp grip pad in the lower third of the blade would also greatly enhance handling. I still like it, and considering that you always pretend to know nothing of guns, your guns are absolutly fantastic! :D
Neat models...don't understand much about texturing yet but I'm learning.
that looks nasty as hell......... : ) just the ticket for a night out in glasgow.... when can i have one?
Excellent work Moe......reminds me of the Gunblades in Final Fantasy VIII.
Cool! Yeah, I second mafenther on the FF reference. It really has the look of that series. Very baroque design.
lol nice looks cool actually :0
It's very good modeking Moe. It has that WWI futuristic bayonette thing going. A very cool experiment :-)
Looks awesome Moe.... truly a unique piece :o) Thomas
neat-looking weapon - one for each Thagoteer?
Whether it's feasible or not, I'd rather not be acquainted with it's wrong end. Heh heh heh... ;-)
Hey Sir Moe ypou have done it again...:) yes this does have a slight final fantasy feel to it. It Looks wild:)
Cool as usual! Trying to build an arsenal, huh? :) Excellent, Master Moebius! Lah bows to thy talent!
Hey Moe, I love this one, it would fit in very well with the kind of gothic sci-fi I like. Given me some cool ideas, thanks for shareing.
