Thanks, I'll give it a try. I would also like to make another sword for that. One that will scare the crap out of people. A sword that could be held by the geekiest computer nerd and still strike fear into the heart of the most experienced warrior... AH HA HA HA HA HAHA!!!!!....... ok, sorry about that. I would like to make a more realistic and darker-type sword for the runic one.

I'm having alot of fun with AM right now, so I'm just turning out alot of stuff. Here are some jars I modeled after a candle I have in my room.

How would I add a texture to the bump? Say if I were to write ABC on the sword and wanted it to look like it was glowing molten lava, while keeping the rest of the sword grey and shiny. Also, Is there a Lettering wizard of some sort? I've seen a couple projects where things had letters on them that were actually splines. The letters looked really nice, as if they were a font, rather than were modeled.

ya, I know it does, but unfortunatly I'm still an early begninner, so my talents and knowledge is somewhat limited. Do you know of any sites that have materials for download?

I tried to make a fantast-style mushroom, something that looked like a fairy or pixy would sleep under. This is what I came up with. The texture is just one I thru onto it.

How's this look? It took me a while to get the added CPs to play nicely with the materials

jon.... ha ha ha, I think you and I would get along great... I'm still learning everything. The blade DOES have a ridge: I would LOVE to make a sword with runes and/or runic fire lettering etched into the blade.... but that's later on down the road, when I've learned how to do that.

I started out with the easiest thing I could think of.....a ball.... I then thought it would be cool to make an entire set of billiard balls....and viola. I think had the hankering to make a sword and did this. Does anyone have any pointers on how to make the blade look like real metal? I used the "metal" material, but it doesn't seem to work.
