"Greenhorn Productions" is a 3rd year project group on the "Computer and Video Games Course" at the University of Salford in the year 2007/08. We are currently developing Bloodstone - The Journey Home, a third person role-playing total conversion of Valveās Half Life 2, using the Source engine. In this modification, Khrinz, a common farm boy is plunged into an unknown world of magic and deceit, on the brink of an unstoppable invasion by a technologically advanced race.
First Art Update for "Bloodstone - The Journey Home", this time you get to see some of our weapon models and concepts.

Hey Guys,
I’m Adam Sinclair, Lead Artist at the Greenhorn Productions dev team.
The site has just been updated with a few more images, including the concept art for the weapons and some near-finished weapon models that will appear in Bloodstone – The Journey Home.
The concepts art for the weapons was created by our talented technical artist, Dave Walker. When creating the models and textures for the weapons I tried to stay as true the concept art as possible. I used the same colourful designs which will fit in with the bright and colourful world of Darynia. I also added normal maps and other shaders to make the weapons something to behold.
Keep a look out for an update showing renders of some of the monsters you’ll encounter in Bloodstone - The Journey Home, which will be arriving soon. Also, I'll add renders of the Zelorian energy based sword as soon as it’s ready.
Thanks for reading,
Adam

thease swords look cute. not very deadly though.
hehe they do a bit in the screenshot, its because of the lighting. In-game they look a lot more realistic, more metallic, plus some of them will have effects on them.
Also please take into consideration all these screenshots are first pass models, not necessarily the quality that will be in the final revision of the game.
Cheers Rich
Oh ok. I am curious you are able to add glow effects or even have one sword have that glowing red as if the sword was just tempered by a blacksmith, and have slight smoke emitting out of the end of the sword. (I just think this sword would be cool to have)
(It could be a special sword you acquire in the game.)
Yeah, I hope to see some artistic designs for the weapons.
I'm glad that this mod seems to be developing rather quickly, and that such models are being made. And although these are the first renders of the models, it looks like you guys are off to a good start!
