Homework Week 3 Submission
A bit of new shine, a bit of old rust……okay lets be real thats not very realistic, but i like the outcome!

Man…regardless of my grade for week 3, this class was an experience! I personally learned a lot (especially working on a deadline!)
The most difficult part? Texturing! Good lord, the rust painting took a long time, and the fact that i re-modeled the handle AND re-did the UV’s which prompted re-texturing again, it’s a miracle i completed it! The rust paint texture did not help in shading too, as whenever i tried to make the rust not shine, the gold would look really strange, eventually i toned down the rust and it fixed most of the issues. While shading was fun, it was a hassle, because of my poor texture (i think) having all sorts of gradient colors that made the shiny parts/non shiny parts look really strange. But as i said, i just toned down the rust (there was a LOT of it) and it fixed most of my issues, overall, my shading isnt super impressive or complex, but i think it compliments the blade nicely…for my skill, atleast 😛
All in all, this is my final product, I did not have much time to myself this week, so i’m gonna take it easy for now (i’ll be there for the wrapup stream hopefully!) and i hope there will be more classes like these soon! i’ll try not to suffer in silence and be more active in my threads next time!
Cheers
