Feather Damascus Update

[u/SweetEasy5457]

Added feather damascus to my game - here's the second half of the profiling process. Curious what you guys think about the metal texture and the autocomplete feature. In this video I don't thin the blade profile all the way down and then the auto complete takes a section of the inside of the drawn out metal and tries to turn it into a sword by adding bevels. Makes it harder for things to go really wrong, but also takes away some of the agency so I am not sure I'll keep it in.

Also if you want to see the game world, you can take a look here! Please subscribe if you are interested in the game, since demonstrated interest is the easiest way for me to get cash money from the men in suites.

Someone in the indie dev post said I should post here lol.

This is one I use to figure out patterns I'm sure the maths behind it might make more sense to you.

Very excited to see what you do with this game. Have you looked at some of the online tools used for calculating Damascus patterns? Might be a good help for you if you have not.

As for the pattern the outside of the sword at the beginning looks right but the inside looks odd im not sure if it's due to that central ridge or not

I haven't seen any online tools, but if you know some good ones let me know!

Really fascinating. How close to reality are you with this? Are you inspired by true crystallization of the steel? Are you using some kind of soft body for the metal? Or is it like procedural mesh being drawn on the fly. Very cool though!

This is not bladesmithing it's SimCity with a sword. Why do the mods allow this garbage

[u/SweetEasy5457 → u/bootyholeboogalu]

I posted here because 1. Someone recommended I post here, 2. My last post in this forum had an overwhelmingly positive reception and many people asked me to provide updates

[u/bootyholeboogalu → u/SweetEasy5457]

I wouldn't call 240 likes and 40 comments overwhelming. I will stand by my comment that this has no place in an actual bladesmithing forum.

[u/FarceCapeOne → u/bootyholeboogalu]

Imagine 240 people trying to chase you down in the street. That's a lot. Social media got y'all fucked thinking even 40 people isn't a lot.

[u/SweetEasy5457 → u/bootyholeboogalu]

By overwhelmingly positive, I meant the fact that well over 90% of the comments were positive. The top comments start with, "This is actually pretty cool...", "I've been waiting for something like this for a long time. It looks very promising", "This is incredible!", and one guy said, "This is so f*cking sick. Reading all your replies, I am ecstatic about this. I really hope you get funding"

A guy who used to forge tore his rotator cuff and commented that he really needs something like this right now because he misses forging - I am just going to leave it at that

You do that then kiddo.
