September 15, 200619 yr G'day Folk I've had C4d for a couple of weeks now, and i've just been mucking around. Came up with this, i didn't follow any tuts or anything. First off: Update1: smoothed out most of the polygons, added a centre groove and the pommel stone. Need to fix the stone, make it look more imbedded into the haft. Any Crits?

September 15, 200619 yr Not to be rude, but its TOO basic in my opinion... Something like that can be accomplised in photoshop with the shape tool + gradient. Keep it up though, its a good start. --Next time maby make something more detailed? make the sword model bigger... add some incrested jewels or ornamental things. --another note - this render is REALLY small so the blade, on my screen anyway, looks flat, maby make a bigger render/picture? -goodluck.
September 15, 200619 yr It's not bad for starters ;) It does look rather flat and the hilt looks quite square. I would suggest working on the shape. Defining your blade and hilt area more. Also, working on the materials will help the looks of it. The sword I use in my sig was created in Photoshop but you can see from it how I tried to texture the blade and give dimension to the shape. Good Luck with it and keep at it. ~Alduron
September 15, 200619 yr Your sig keeps blinking, im trying to see lol :lol: The Enrichment Center reminds you that the weighted companion cube will never threaten to stab you and, in fact, cannot speak. In the event that the weighted companion cube does speak, the Enrichment Center urges you to disregard its advice.
September 15, 200619 yr Author yer sure, i used defaults materials with the handle and i don't know how to add texture :oops:. i wanted to add some sort of inlay into the blade, but i don't know how i would go about it.. :? thx for the crits though. I'm gonna go have alook around for some tuts. "A disbelief in magic can force some poor souls into believing in authority and business"
September 16, 200619 yr Author Update, i've smoothed out most things, and added the groove to the centre. I was thinking of having a claw or something comming out of the end of the handle and clasping the pommel stone, as it looks stupid atm.

September 16, 200619 yr looking nice, better than before. dont like the looking down the blade, just looks weird. claw grabbing the pommel stone? good luck if you do, it isnt gonna be easy... keep us up-dated! PJB21 100% my own work, i make my own brushes: set 1 set 2
September 16, 200619 yr Nice work, but at the second one it looks like its floating in the air. [http://woopidoo2.deviantart.com][Tip.it Moderator from Dec 10, 2006 to 03 Sep, 2008]
