Made in Blender. WIP, critique is more than welcome

Might come in handy for Maya users.
[QUOTE=shadowsX;40779369]is this correct for re-topology ?[/QUOTE]
It looks alright to me.

I think it's a trombone.

If the model is merely going to be a statue yes, however if you plan on rigging and animating/ragdolling it you would need to set up the geometry at joint points like the elbow diferently because it will look crushed/overstretched when that limb is bent.
I'm not even finished with this, and I'm already hating what I've done so far.:suicide:

Try adding a bevel to it so the edges aren't like razor blades.

Decided to create an entirely new blade so I could give it an indent (or "blood groove") in the model.
I also changed the pommel to more of a drop shape instead of the spherical shape it previously had, for aesthetic reasons.
Again, critique is more than welcome!
Looks nice, what happens when you smooth it?
Not sure, let's find out together!

Just appears to lose the desired shape :( Bevel seems to be a better option, ill give that a go.
I think I might just make the pommel a separate object, thoughts?
usually the best way to construct things is to construct them as you find them in life. of course you can cheat things like having geometry intersect, but what I'm saying is that if you want to make the pommel separate then you should consult your references.
[QUOTE=KillerSlash;40781270]I think I might just make the pommel a separate object, thoughts?[/QUOTE]
Just add in a few more edge loops to keep the shape when you smooth it.

Not using any references, just thought that because I can't forge a sword doesn't mean I can't make one virtually, did it to have fun and ended up spending hours on it. Modelling could be a new daily hobby :)

I'd like to call this finished now:

I might try to get better images for you guys.
always use reference
[QUOTE=DOG-GY;40782846]always use reference[/QUOTE]
Just felt natural.
References are used to help get a sense of what you're doing better, and possibly get the model done faster. Also, if you can get a front and side view of what you want to make, rotoscopy makes a world of difference.
it's about being able to draw from different things that really exist in order to make a design interesting. it is impossible to make anything good without pulling from experience and reference
I decided to have a go at Sting from The Hobbit/LOTR using a reference.
It's quite shit but my second model.

Put a mia material on that and get some bitchin' brass on it.

Wires?
[QUOTE=Daemon White;40791721]What happened in the middle of the sword?[/QUOTE]
The middle is just more of a flat area, smoothing defined the strange skeleton you can see at the base and the end of the blade. Sting has a certain shape where it is thick at the base and toward the end of the blade, presumable for weight balance for swinging. Although that's my depiction of the sword, it is fiction after all! But I didn't want it to look as thin as paper.
Edit:
Just for fun I made a damascus steel viking sword.

Ah, Yes that concept art that was "Leaked" I do wonder if that is legitment or just people saying it is.
