Reply To: BC1-1908 Homework – Jake McCluskey

I think I’m just about ready for the Sunday deadline, tweaked a few verts here and there. Made some additional handle wraps, the thicker crisscross one (bottom right) was done much the same as the first one I did. The tighter single wrap was done using the screw modifier to make the majority of the wrap and then I manually created the tapers on the ends.

I made a second guard piece based on a flame icon I found in some stock photos and with just a material on it it’s hard to see the layers but with texturing I think it will pop nicely.

I also added some damage to a copy of the blade, the first guard and the pommel. I don’t know if there’s a term for it but something about adding those imperfections to those smooth surfaces felt terrible haha but I can’t argue with the sense of character and story they add to the model. Guess I’ll have to make one of each and see how I feel once they are done!
