Might be either caffeine or urge to create...

Shiro, would this object be useful for your creations?

Question of the day: If I were a dynasty, what would my name be?

As for the Uzbek one, the Horde is still waiting on the needed pics before it can lay siege.

Thanks Ogedei I think that magatama is good.

What file format does Poser use? I don't recall if it was .3ds or .obj

@Jerry'sGoldfish: Any good pics for ancient, industrial, and modern? I don't like confining city sets purely to one era.

 

[ShiroKobbure]

I think poser can import either one. I know it can use obj for sure.

See if this is any use to you. I'm not sure if I did the export correctly since I'm pretty much poking through Blender in the dark.

@Jerry'sGoldfish: What's the name of the building in the first modern example? How big should the dome be in relation to the rest of the building?

 

[Jerry'sGoldfish]

the building is a majlis, council - parlament building...

How does this look for the basic shape?

 

[Jerry'sGoldfish]

the columns should be half the thickness in you rendering...everything else seems ok, also the fries with the rectangule should be made...

 

[Ogedei_the_Mad]

More experimenting on shapes. Anyone want to guess what is the building next to the Majlis?

 

[ShiroKobbure]

Sorry for the bump, Ogedei, could you upload that magatama?
haha I just noticed it was a zip in the forum, I was looking in the database.
Thanks for making that by the way.

I recently had the urge to fiddle around in Blender.

Created a "Samjichang" (Korean Trident) as a result. It's a rough creation since I still can't quite get the blades to curve a bit more.

 

[ShiroKobbure]

Great, I definitely have a use for this.

Try scaling and rotating from an anchor point created midway between each horn's base and tip.

btw thanks for reminding me that I had to install Blender on my Linux partition.

I did what you suggested. Now I'm satisfied with how it looks.

Hard to tell from that angle - is the center blade longer than the two outside, like the ones here or here? I ask because it might also be useful as a trishul (similar Indian weapon).

Slightly OT: I watched War of the Arrows last night - about Joseon resistance to the Qing. Awesomely realistic display of virtuosity with a bow, imho. I'd like to see similarly great work with other Korean weapons such as this one in a comparable historic / wuxia film.

I'm glad to have been of help.
