Looks great, i love the fine detail in it. Just wondering is that a hole in the center? Cuz if it is I think it's an interesting idea but i think it would look better without it cuz it makes the sides look like it could easily break. Maybe a smallerish hole would look better i don't know. Not that it looks bad or all, thats just my 2 cents.

looks good. what modelling progam? and here's the real question: how many verts and polygons/triangles? seems really high detail for a game weapon, unless the detail is mostly texture.

Excellent job!!

Its modeled in 3dsmax. I dont have my laptop with me right now but I think its uhh 1087 polys and 4825 triangles (not sure about the triangles) Also ya its a hole in the center but when you have a sword made of super strong uber unbreakable nanotitanim dragon metal..... but anyways... ya it would be pretty fragile in the center there where the hole is but hey in games it really doesnt matter its all about what looks good, and I relized once I got home that that was a really low res render here is a better one.

Thank you, thats the concept i've been trying to pass along to some people but they want everything conforming with reality and that has gotten stuck in my head, but if it is all about looking good I say keep it the way it is, it looks great.

Yes, for games its about what the player sees, for indie game makers, that's the perfect excuse to hide mistakes, but as a modeller I don't encourage 'bad' modelling, but I do make the odd cut myself if it saves me enough time, just as long as it doesn't effect the overall product.

Clay Render? Why do people call it that? It was rendered with Max's Sky Light, wasnt it? With light tracer?

Which belive it or not, is reffered to as a clay render, as when you render untextured meshes using that technique they look like clay, and I think the sword looks fairly cool, however very impractical, and is that blade made from 2 sheets of metal with a gap in the middle?

Hallowed are the ori.

Thats exactly why they call it a clay render. Anywho yes the sword would be impracticle, but it was designed as a more sci-fi sword rather than a midevil sword so you have a bit more freedom on what will work, the blade isnt made of 2 sheets of metal and a gap its acually one block with the sharp cutting piece extruded out of it. I will post a closeup render in a few minutes so you guys to see it.

Edit edge render added

The main reason for it being called a clay render is when the light tracer first emerged as a feature of 3DS Max, instead of an uber expensive add-on, it's default colour was a pinkish brown hue, the colour you'd imagine to see a clay model being. When the entire model is rendered with that colour in the light tracer, it ends up looking a lot like clay.
