Re: Show us what you got!!!

Thats the name of the new sword i have made. Yes its one of my best works and i am very proud of how it came out. This is my little entry for this, didn't have time when i made the original post.

The sword was designed by Kit Rae and is also available for purchase if you want a "real" one, not some 3D model. It has 187,891 vertices in the mesh, and 185,376 faces. Any ways in all it took a good 9-11 hours of hard work. At some points it was not an easy task but it came out well.

the hardest part was the inscription on the blade. It is not a picture on the sword i actually made it. It alone has about 44,000 vertices and took a good 4 hours to make. Very hard and detailed work. The other part was the skull on the end part of the handle. the horns took a long time as well to get right. Though i did make a few changes from the original in that area.

The program i sued was Blender 2.44. No other programs were used.



This sword is not to be used or copied. The maker of the sword (Kit Rae) has this design copyrighted for the reason of making it and using it in animations (so you wont see it in out teams animation). I did get permission to make this model.

Thanks,


John M.
