Looks cool.

One trick I learned on how to get the effect of a sword with a shiny sharp edge is to make a copy of the blade.
Resize it so its just a little bit bigger than the original blade. It needs to be a bit bigger than the original blade but only enough that you can see it. Give this blade a shinier material or increase the ambience so it looks shinier. When you are done, you have a sword that has a shiny sharp edge. This method will work for other edged weapons too. Also it would make it easier to add special effects to the sword too.

Hope this helps.

explain this a bit further.. i dont know what you mean .. only make the edge a bit longer and make it shinier..? i once made a sword with diamond edge this way.. if i wanted to make a really realistic sword i would have used 3dsmax anyway .. but i aprecciate the comment and help the sword was just a bit extra to the robot

thanks

This is for Bryce, all bets are off in other 3d apps.


1. Take the sword blade, just the blade part.
2. Make a copy.
3. make the copy a little wider and longer so it sticks out a little bit. Just a little bit.
4. give the blade a metallic texture.
5. give the copy a shinier texture.

Now you have a blade with a shiney edge.

Might be able to make some interesting blades using terrains and a greyscale picture for Bryce, not tried it myself.

Do you have a picture of the diamond blade?

no it was a long time ago lol but i can make it in a flash .. it was diamond edged btw

I would like to see it if you have some spare time and its no big deal.

I think these guys are coooooooooooool
