This one still needs a lot of work.

I still have to figure out how to make a blade for a halberd. Can anyone who has photoshop make a black-white image of a halberd so I can alpha skin it ? http://www2.zbrushcentral.com/zbc_uploads/user_image-1033411738iba.jpg

Namek, a blade would be very easy to make from an adaptive skin set to a density of 2 or 3. Then all you have to do is flatten it and use the EDIT/MOVE tool to form it into shape. Once shaped divide and smooth as needed and you have a blade!

Here is a quick script that illustrates the technique I am talking about.

Here is an update , the centaur is Guarding his domain , I spend a lot of time doing the landscape , the model for his body is almost finished , but he still needs another head.
Thanx to mentat for the blade , southern for the skull (I found out who made it :p)

Sorry about the quality , but it's size was over 200 kb , and apparently it has to be less.
