Description **Juny Edit**
After the discovery of art thefting some of my works, I've decided to be more strict about watermarking eveything I put up here.
The old image have been removed and replaced by this one. Plus some color and effect tweaks to make it look cooler :3

I've also removed the 2nd preview (this is the first one) because it looked so crappy ;

----------------------

Hi! It wasnt really my intentions to make any picture of this yet ^^, because Im not finished with the modelling work or even started to think about texturing
However I had a job offer I couldnt look away, and they wanted to see some of my work. So I quickly did a few renders of the First Tsurugi which Ive been working on lately! Since I have these renders, I've decided to put it up here for everyone to see how it is going with the swords ^^
I hope you like them!

For more story and info about how I work with the sword, you can go here ^^

Whoa cool! It's the best rendition of the First Tsurugi I've seen thus far. Wonder if they can really be combined together?

Hehe Thank you :3
I have one better looking picture on my computer ^^ But its still not finished :3
In 3D space, and in the movies, they can be combined together ^^ But in real life, based on my sources, Im afraid not

If you do that, you will miss out the whole fun of the mechanics of the sword! ^^
It will become so much greater with lots of details! :3

^o^ Thanks!
It was a work to get all of the swords to fit together thou. Most of the blades where too thick and I had to rescale them all over and over again!

Yes ^^, I used vray, I also used some hdr settings :3
There are no texture or material on these swords. Its only basic colors

You've done it again Mog these are freaking amazing. I was wondering why you had'nt made any new posts in a while. I guess I got my answer.

mogcaiz In reply to liquid-dark [2006-10-12 08:15:17 +0000 UTC]

I've been slacking most of the time
It didnt take me more than 2-3 days, a couple of hours per day to make the rest of the swords xP
What really took time was to render these out! o.o;

Anyways ^^ Thank you for your comments^^
