Sword scene finished.

Ok, so I finally finished this piece. Not much different from the last image, didn't have much time to work on it and I just wanted to finish it anyway to jump on to other things.
Re-touched in Photoshop as well.

Sword update

Hmm.. stuff happened, and then more stuff happened, before I knew it, I was creating a entire environment just to be able to display the sword. Ok, here's the deal, I wanted to create a simple background for the sword to be in, however, this simple background turned to become an even greater task than creating the sword. I have now for a few days been building and texturing it. Honestly, I don't know where I'll stop.

The sword however I believe is all but done, might make a few tweaks to the texture/bump map. It will all depend on the lighting I will settle for (which I haven't decided yet). I'm thinking of adding a few more objects into the scene before moving on to lighting. Anyway, I'll post two images, one of the handle of the sword (without bump) then a overview of the shot I'm going for.

Cheers.

PS. All is done in Maya, I used Photoshop to adjust the levels of the image above as it was too greyish and washed out. The plant and tree are paint effects I converted to polygons if anyone wonders.

A sword WIP.

Yes, I'm creating a sword just for fun. I have only one reference image which I'm creating from, I'm gonna post the reference image after the model is complete.
Now, the whole modeling is done, (the materials are just temp, I just threw something on) and I'm gonna go to unwrapping it followed by texturing based of that reference image.
