Sacman Posted June 6, 2004 Share Posted June 6, 2004 Take a look. Except for some minor tweaking I believe I am done. <1000 patches and will withstand close and long shots. Critiques please. This is done directly off a photo. I rotoscope the base but had to freehand the bulk of the hand gaurd. Thanks Wade Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sacman Posted June 9, 2004 Author Share Posted June 9, 2004 I am having major WIN XP problems but I got this much done a rendered. I am looking for a Stainless Steel look that I do not have here. The settings I have for Crome are too much for this. I was extrmemely happy with the success of the transparency maps I used for the round gaurd hole detail. This took some trial and error in PS but I think I have that down now. If anyone knows some good Stainless Steel settings as surface properties I would appreciate the info. I made make the handle look like black leather wrap before I call this one complete. If not then the Stainless settings are all I really need. I will be making a scabbard and holder for it soon. Comments please, Wade Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sofabutt Posted June 10, 2004 Share Posted June 10, 2004 I like it a lot. But I have a question. I'm no expert so I'm not trying to make a point or go anywhere with this, but... Is the hilt proportioned correctly to the blade? I look at it and get the feeling my big hands might wrap around the hilt 2ice before I could get a comfortable hold.

Sacman Posted June 10, 2004 Author Share Posted June 10, 2004 Actually yes it is exactly proportional. THe blade is 38" long with an overall length of 45". These dimensions were taken directly from a Websight that sells them. I also rotoscoped directly off an image of this blade. I will post it. I am still waiting for some help on a stainless steel material. Thanks, Wade Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ypoissant Posted June 11, 2004 Share Posted June 11, 2004 The stainless steel look is based on reflections. The chrome material should be a good start. However, stainless steel is rougher than chrome. So you will have to use soft reflections to get a good result. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
