Well actually I'm pretty sure Alex
did not rip anything from WoW nor simply converted files , We're both modelling our weapons, there's no point in ripping files from other games and claiming it's your own 3D model but I guess using their textures to train and practise in 3D modelling is fine =)
There's a pretty easy trick to get cool textures from WoW or Aion: Databases
Ex with Frostmourne:
, click on "View in 3d" zoom in to get the best resolution, screenshot, crop in photoshop, bring it to 3ds and finally start modelling and texturing out of the screenshot..
That's what I'm used to do, and I'm sure Alex does that aswell
Btw good job Alex they all look kinda low poly but cool still, I really like that blade at the bottom left in the first pic
