who needs boolean for that? if you want engraved details, just extrude splines ;)
for polycount, I guess the sword won't be unsed in an animation or anything? 38000 polys is really not the highest you can go for that kind of model then :)
nice design otherwise, the guard ( english? ) is too thick tho.

Post by: Carl on October 23, 2002, 11:20:37 pm: i'm not using the booleans for that. i'm using them so make the designs on the handle. if i made them textures they wouldn't be scaleable.

besides, truespace doesn't have shapemerge.

Post by: Kamikaze on October 24, 2002, 01:04:08 am: the guard on the sword looks too... rectangular - it might be good to make it thinner and rounder

Otherwise, really cool looking sword :)

the blade is a near perfect mirror. it's almost completely black, with reflection at 90%
