Complex UV Layout in Maya
Over the last couple of years UV layout in Maya has changed for the better. In this course we're going to be taking a look at some of those changes as we UV map an entire character

magicsy, thanks for the kind words! I used a customized chrome shader for the hand guard, and the blade, and I used a ramp for the specular. The lighting was the hardest thing. I went through many HDRI's to find the best lighting.
concorddawned, thanks for the comment! Because of the angle of the render, the edge of the blade is not showing up very well, but rest assuerd, the blade is extremely sharp.

Also, I am sure that it has nothing to do with the model, but it kind of looks like the hilt is missing some faces as the shadow seems to continue without being reflected at the points I have marked. What's going on?

arran, The chrome shader being used on the sword model is highly reflective, and even though I have a high reflection blurr on it, the hand guard is still catching the color off the groundplane. I will turn down the reflectivity just a tiny bit, and see if it helps to cut down color It's catching from the ground plane.
Alot of the mediaeval swords were either dull in appearance, or shiny and beautiful. I picked shiny and beautiful.
The long handle is intentional. The handle had to be long because the blades were heavy, and the knights had to hold them with both hands. Here is a few pics of some actual midiaeval swords.

You will get to see the whole sword in the next render I post along with a wire.

It's been a while since my last update on this. Been working on the materials for the gold trim around the hand guard and especially the hand grip.
