@theluthier Thanks for the constructive criticism Kent. Yeah I agree it definitely doesn’t showcase any material in that sword at all. I did however paint everything by hand. I used a unique brush that rotated a texture on the center blade and I made multiple multiple passes to get a texture I thought would look good with some bloom effect but it flopped terribly. This is an area I am quite novice at and I should have stayed basic like with the hammer. I like how that turned out but I agree some edge highlighting should make it a lot easier to tell that it is metal in nature.
