not bad. I think the hand guard is alittle to long but other than that good job.

How many polygons is that, may I ask? As in, triangles. Looks nice - very green.

i reckon the blade should be longer, the handle looks likes its a 2 hander, which of course would mean you'd expect the blade to be very long

I don't have a sig, live with it.

I think he could keep the long hand guards if he just widened the blade so it looks like a 2h, maybe lengthen the blade like Manic said.

I'm gonna do a few tweaks to the sword later. It has 168 faces(triangles), and 91 verts.

OK, here's the final product. I've made the blade longer, and wider (at the base). I've also bent the tang towards the blade. I re-textured it as well (without the green light ).

To tell you the truth, I don't use the native GS UV editor as it was quite frustrating.

I use Ultimate Unwrap 3D ($50); but there is a good mini-course on the site that you can get for under $30. I have it and it was very good:

http://www.caligari.com/gamespace/tutorial/video.asp

Check that out. There is a serious lack of good UV mapping tutorials out there. Hope that helps.

Actually you read my mind...oddmind. I was thinking of making a shield to mount the swords on as a display entity, could probably use the shield as well.
