i was just wondering how you would swing that, it might cut your wrist off:shame: :wavey:

Hey there :wavey:

For a first post it is not bad at all.

Some tips for a better image though:

You could make it more interesting by putting it in a background.
Try to blend the different parts of the sword more into one object, right now it looks like all the different parts are glued together.
Lastly the sword is not really functiional, i think it would be pretty difficult to handle this sword without accidentally cutting your own wrist. :D

I hope this critique doesn't sound to harsh, but hey weren't we all beginners when we started doing 3D?

Keep working on 3D and don't let the really good models on this forum put you of. Let them be an inspiration to you :beer:

Ya, I realize it isn't functional, it was just something I doodled during class one day and decided to model it.

I will try blending the pieces together, but I don't know how well that will go. I guess I will get rid of the side pieces and make a different design instead. :shrug: :bounce:

btw, these smilies rule!

Since they already mentioned that it's not really functional, I'll just add this.....

You should make the end blade, (the completely strait one), more interesting with to go better with the blade on the handguard. Maybe make it have some rounded edges instead of just flat, and since the blade on the guard is so big already, you could maybe make the end blade bigger too. It looks out of proportion.


C&C = comments and critiques

Ok, how is this for a start (texturing still needs work):

Now I did this. Thanks for all the help so far! I cannot get the bottom part of the blades to work well. :D

any ideas?

[Krisc]

Ok, well one of you mentioned it isn't rendered with any background and that kind of ruins it, well that got me thinking about another project I did where I drew a basic little night scene near a pipe attached to a brick wall...so I drew this lamp that will be attached to a wall which the sword will be leaning against or stuck in...thanks

all C&C is welcomed and encouraged!

UPDATE: I have gone ahead and added a few things like the wall, a pipe and a trash can as well as the sword...I can't get the lighting correct as I don't know how to control how bright it is other than to change the color or translucency of the object:light itself. tell me what you think about it so far please!

eeer.... i don't know why this sword is on a street from our days with a futuristic trash can... i mean, the background doesn't fit with the sword...:p

I think you should make the main blade bigger, wider and with some curves on it, as Jeebus said

keep experimenting new things!

That's pretty good :thumbsup: . I've been no better when I was your age (info: now I am 17 :) )

Here's one of my first renders, it sux, but of course first time.......etc. Just keep practicing and have fun :wavey:

nice first render.
I am going to have to play with the trash can, I am thinking of redoing it and making it like one of those wire trash cans. That would create a cool shadow effect.
