@leverett I’m sorry to hear you had a rough go with UVs. In the end, your sword turned out well though. It earns an A from me. Way to persevere through the struggle!
My only note is that I think your sword could benefit from more pronounced edge wear and crevice darkening. I can see that you have both of those in the texture but it’s a touch subtle in my opinion.
Gonna walk away from it for a bit.
Sometimes this is definitely the best choice: Take a break, disconnect, come back later (tomorrow a couple days) and approach the project with a fresh mind.
