Korken Posted August 8, 2005 Posted August 8, 2005 Hi all! I've made a katana sword blade and tell me what you all think about it. Crits please. //Korken Quote
jamagica Posted August 8, 2005 Posted August 8, 2005 The shape overall looks good, but this looks like you used toon render. add some reflectivity to this Quote
Korken Posted August 8, 2005 Author Posted August 8, 2005 Ok, here is it again with 35% reflec.. Crits again. //Korken Quote
jamagica Posted August 8, 2005 Posted August 8, 2005 Still can't get that look...is that a decal covering the side of the blade? Quote
Korken Posted August 8, 2005 Author Posted August 8, 2005 No, there are 2 materials 1 for the lighter part and one for the darker part. //Korken Quote
myfish Posted August 8, 2005 Posted August 8, 2005 its going to be VERY difficult to emulate the "hamon" and "hada" of the blade with materials. Decals are the way to go. There is a nice shot "both sides" of a blade here sword photos I think its quite hard to get a really nice reflective and accurate polished metal surface with AM's renderer, so why make it harder than it should be. try the decals, and remember, they can be used in many ways....

Korken Posted August 9, 2005 Author Posted August 9, 2005 Hmm, I'll test it but I think I've might got a way to get this just right. //Korken Quote
