But since it appears to be the topic of the day:

 

 

And a link to the whole thread

Pretty cool. What are the wierd light blue grid things I see on the handle?

[Mr. Jaqe]

wow! how did you make that? veeery curious, as I would like to make a sword myself. A short guide?

[mediaho]

Excellent rapier! I know it's old, but do you plan on texturing it?

[starwarsguy]

It looks like he just extruded some shapes around into what he wanted. It shouldn't be too hard. Go and try it!

I think you get extra points if you can get the point of your sword through the holes and poke your opponents fingers.

 

Very nice sword.

btw, gratz on the 1000 posts heyvern. and I really, RELLY love your sword! it's so...sassey!

[Sacman]

The grid pattern on the hilt is a little too fine. The skeleton left over would be too weak to support itself but I had such a time learning transparencies for that that I finally quit.

Go to the link in my first post and it will take you to the original thread. There is a pic of the rotoscope there. I had to do some research on the actual length in order to keep it in scale. But it is as close as you can get to actual scale.

 

I haver never posted a wireframe so I guess I should find one real quick:

 

Ok here is one with another to follow: The rest of the blade is only 3 more extrusions.

One more wire. This is an extreme close up of the actual handle of the hilt. I probably should have bumped this instead of modeling. But...
