New/better render of the 10 swords I made at call “Abstention”, which means Forbearance in french. Modeled in Maya and rendered with Pixar’s Renderman.

Swords (WIP 09) Holes in the Cross Guards

Yup, now there's not inter-penetration between the cross guards and the blades, like real cross guards.

Not the most cool task, but that detail makes a lot of difference.

Next step: UVs! Wouhou! (<---- sincere "wouhou" here. That's the most relaxing part of making a model)

Swords (WIP 07) Making the Blades and Resizing the Swords

Here are the individual swords

Next Step: Making holes in the cross guards where the blades go, so it looks more practical.

I have to share these websites, they were really helpful for swords measurements, info and visual references on swords:
