Just messing around i made a model of a katana. Figured id share it here incase anyone wanted it... as ussual needs a better skin just dont have the paitence for that part The model itself i dont think looks too bad tho could probally have done with a few less faces which is 656 but has a sheath too so The skin layout probally needs to be redone altogether... did that then decided id go back and merge a few vertices together to lower the poly count was 800 and something anyways hope someone can find a home for it credits not nessecary but allways welcomed Heres a screen shot and can be downloaded Here

Very nice, thanks!
I´ll make a skin for it and post it, if you want...

Thanks Sure sounds good to me I had planned on trying to do a really good job on the skin this time... however like normal by time i got done modeling it i didnt feel like doing the skin at all really didnt take too long tho.. about 15 mins tops. One day tho i will do a nice skin job for one of my models

So here, quick and dirty

(Engine shot)



I will send it to you per mail, then you can upload it

Hehe Much Better Thanks

looks nice Fel. I had started on one a while back but never finished it, i just had the blade meshed and UV mapped with a basic skin. never got around to working in the detials of the blade skin or building rest of the mesh.

Thought Id add it to your thread since its along the same line of item if someone might need it and can mess to build thier own sword.



aprox 190 polys

Nice I like it alot even has the tang ... pretty good job on the skin too ... I just did mine cause i seen a few people making katanas with straight blades so figured this might help someone out Used my katana as a guide image planned on using the photo for the skin too just didnt seem to work out too well so gave up as normal still waiting for fogman to send me the skin he did and ill upload it too My sword probally needs to be resized but figured that shouldnt be much of a problem at all

"still waiting for fogman to send me the skin he did"

Humm... you should have it...
If not, pm me, I´ll send it again then.
