Good website for reference images of blades?

[nub]

I've been trying to find a good website that has really good images of blades like daggers/swords/etc. (preferably medieval style weapons) that can be used as references for 3D modeling and whatnot. Does anyone know of any good websites for such a thing?

Google?

Not really. Why do you think I made this thread to begin with?

What a great informative thread.

Look around this huge reference thread.

And a link if found in that reference thread with medieval weapons.

Eh. I'm still looking through the Polycount thread, but the site you forwarded isn't too promising. It consists mostly of polearms and crossbows and like no swords (but a few daggers). Plus they're photos of real antiques, so they're very corrode and not too useful as references for modeling. A good find nonetheless. Hopefully I can find a decent website in that thread (that isn't dead).

I don't know if you've done this already, or if you'll find what you're looking for, but you can always go on photo sharing sites and look at peoples photographs.

Places like flickr normally have hires images straight from peoples cameras. Maybe if you do some digging you might find something you like?



Here's a 5440 x 4080 image I found looking for "medieval sword." That should be big enough, right?
