    I deleted like 50 models previously before getting to this level of modeling. In my opinnion i think the models are fine but... they are not proffesionally looking. I want to keep them low poly for i want them to be mobile optimized. If i make like 60-70 weapons similar to those on the picture, and put them all together in the asset store for 10$, will someone buy that thing..? I wil also include icons within my asset for each model.

    As a person who makes 3d models:
    I would say, those are some really nice looking, low poly weapons.
    The models look good enough, to be used in a game. Moreso a mobile game.
    Especially the unusual looking, green tinted monster axe, with the spikes
    and eye. That thing looks creepy. Lol.

    If for some reason, you're not satisfied with how they look, you could add
    a few more polys to them, if you want too.


    Note: The term "professional looking," is a very broad multi-dimensional term.
    And can mean many different things, to many different people.
    Nearly everyone, has their own opinion and preference, as to what professional
    looking 3d models and assets, should look like. So don't let that term, bother you
    too much.

    Looks nice. Do you have normal maps for your objects? You can bring a lot of detail to a low-poly model with a good bump map.

    Well i'm not sure how that maps thing even works. A friend gave me advice how to use bump map but... i was too lazy to deal with it.

    Btw here is my newest model, the demonic axe.(the purple one)

    Bump mapping is definitely something you're going to want to look into. You'd be surprised just how much details is purely bumpmapping. I honestly don't see much polycount difference between what you've posted vs the "professional" ones. If you look closely, you can see the jagged edges, in the professional ones, it just has way more detail (knicks in the blade, scratches, the handle grip...) those are all bump maps.

    This collection of organic metal lava type axes and weapons, literally
    look really nice and detailed enough, to be used for mobile. :)

    If you want, you could use a bump map/normal map on yours.
    But they look good as they already are. So it's up to you, if you
    want to use them or not.

    But Eeeeeeek! :eek:
    The red one with the goat face, looks way too freaky and creepy
    for my taste. Lol! :D

    The purple axe one, has a nice colour and design.
    A bump or normal map, might add more detail to it's surface.

    I took notice of the axe blade portion and found it interesting.
    Because the left side of it, has an angel feathered blade, that is smaller
    in size, vs. the dark and scary gargoyle bat wing, on the right.
    That is such, an interesting contrast.

    You should definitely try normal maps. You could give it a really high poly and amazing look without ccosting extra render time.
    Btw what are you using to make these.
