WIP Sword (not low poly)

[Thenior]

hey all,

This isn\'t for Planeshift per se, but just a sword I made in a few hours:



Again, this is a Work in Progress. No comments on the texturing yet please

I have a few questions..

1: How many polygons are in that model?

2: What did you use to make it?

3: Are you going to try to remake it with less polygons or    what did you make it for?

[Thenior]

1: Didn\'t check, it is for the purposes of a high detail movie

2: Maya

3: See number 1


That sword would have  been a peice of cake to make low poly, probably easier than making it high poly.

I am going to be applying a bump map on the hilt, a sort of dragon design \"engraved\" in the inset peice on the sides.

Nice work.  Are you going to be texturing it?  And have you thought about putting a fuller on it?  And just out of curiosity, how did you make it?  I\'d assume you made a low poly cage then cranked up the subdivisions...at least that\'s how I would\'ve done it.  That would make uv mapping it cake too.  Anyway, looks sweet, kudos.

I started with a concept (it was a front view). Then I used a polygon plane, and did a lowish polygon version.

Then I used a Smooth tool, which makes it basically just look nice.

And yes I plan on texturing it. I had it texture on another deformed model (deformed to make it easier to UV map) but the UV map transfer tool is not working, so I asking a freind to do it.

Wow! Nice.. :DOnly problem is the blade looks a bit like plastic, but that\'s probably just from the color so once you texture it it should be fine..

Great work!!!

Yeah the smooth tool in Maya makes subdiisions.. The smooth tool.. it rocks! Its awesome.. I made this like 50 poly spaceship into this smooth gorgeous futuristinc ship with a click of a button....  8o

Maya rocks!
