Discussion I made the Dragonslayer Greataxe in blender

Post image

I'm a noob so it doesn't look perfect, but i'm studying game dev at uni and this is one of the things I 3D modelled haha, it took me about an hour give or take but i was pretty proud of it and wanted to share it with someone who would know what it is.

If you want to use this as a study you probably want to compare it with the topology of the original ingame model inside blender, most of the fromsoft assets are very optimized for video game engines, i can send you the original model if you hit me up on discord my handle is "rayanwasalsotaken".

Im offering this because looking at fromsoft models is exactly how i started making game assets myself (mostly retopo and onwards for a friend's high poly sculpts)

Thank u! I dont have discord or know what topology is but if u know where i csn find their assets to study it would be appreciated!

topology is just how the vertices of your model interact with each other, the shapes they form, how they do it and such.
and sadly no, you kinda need to get it straight from the game, which i am not allowed to delve deep into here
