Description
This has been by far my most popular deviation, and I'm not quite sure why. I always felt that the original Break Blade model I made was not my best work, even at the time. BUT!! I've remade the entire thing from the ground up, with some redesign liberties taken, too. I hope doesn't mind too much, since it's his design to begin with. Heh sorry for omitting the rope that's supposed to tie the hilts together; my cloth sims weren't cooperating and my computer was about to melt.My first model here: jackbryanreynard.deviantart.co…

This wasn't a commission, but it DID kick off a chain of RWBY OC commissions that were a lot of fun. If you're interested in commissioning me, check my profile for guidelines! Cheers!

Oh man you had some of the best OC weapon models out there. I still love your work on Scarlet Fury for me way back when. Hopefully someday I can commission you for more

Awesome dude, this is absolutely stunning. I'm really liking the redesign of the blades too. I never get tired of seeing your work. Keep it up!

thanks for the kind words

Damn, very cool what software you using for your modelling, and what's the polycount on those beauties
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
i use blender!
for one sword the poly count is ~59k verts, ~31.3k faces, ~60k tris
numbers vary b/c the left and right side versions of the swords have different runes
since i dont need to make it game-ready, i havent baked all the geometry detail down onto a low-poly mesh

Cool,
no surprise there the detail looks unreal, you should consider exporting your models to SketchFab to let others get a closer look at the details more
yea same with me I normally only model High poly stuff, modelling low poly can be a challenge sometimes when you want something to look right

The texturing/mapping is very cool. Might want an advice from you of how did you do it. (I've been into 3D lately.)

My best advice would be to have good UV unwrapping habits. A clean unwrap gives you a lot more freedom and control over how your textures appear.

Ah thanks
Also, I forgot to ask what software did you use? (I used 3Ds Max here)
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I use Blender, but the fundamentals of 3D modelling (like UV unwrapping) should be skills that you can translate across any platform.

Ah I see. Yeah 3Ds max has that kind of UVW stuff too. and thanks for the tips.
