Much better than your first pic. The blade texture is fine, simple, but it looks good. The hilt/grip could use a little work though. Looks pretty good to me, nice ;)

coming along nicely, I\'l just take this moment to be a pedantic annoying nitpicker and say that the blades curve starts in the middle and increases slightly the closer it gets to the end, the blade is still strieght but hey :)

I really do like it

also dont forget to detail the Tsuba (handguard)



and the detail on the handle is important too, this may give you a more practical standpoint to work from :)


thus ends my pedantic nitpicking

your doing good work, keep it up :)

ok i looked at my ref pic for the bend not only the leght ratios as before unfortunately i had to add one cross section to the blade to keep it from looking blocky so now its at 338 tris

ok back to the texture again :)

Wow! You\'re good at this, REALLY good. The texture of the blade is nicely done (altough, in my own humble opinion, maybe it\'s a bit too \"rusty\"). So, you only need to put some texture on the handle and you\'re done. Go you!

I agree about the hilt needing some detail, a katana or wakazashi just isn\'t the same without at least having the wrap intact, although most likely no one will notice it in game...

hehe, I screwed up, I\'ve been wondering for a while if my wakazashi is real or decorative, so when I saw that diagram I took it apart... good news, it\'s real, including that rubbery ray skin stuff... bad news... I can\'t get it back together....

I\'m a lamen when it comes to modelling, but what about antialiasing the blade? The edges seem a little rough-cut.
Other then that - great work, really nice to look at :)
