I think I'm going to try to model a rusty sword. I think it should be easy enough for me since I haven't touched Maya for like a year now. So we will see how far I get before quitting. Hopefully I wont this time. LOL

Do what you like, like what you do.

hah, i was thinking of doing the same thing but with a sheild as well :p
but i didn't know if it would stick with Mike's rules since he said it has to be an everyday item.... although to me a sword is an everyday item cuz its what i play with every day

that's a "Ch" pronounced as a "K"

Computer skills I should have:
Objective C, C#, Java, MEL. Python, C++, XML, JavaScript, XSLT, HTML, SQL, CSS, FXScript, Clips, SOAR, ActionScript, OpenGL, DirectX
Maya, XSI, Photoshop, AfterEffects, Motion, Illustrator, Flash, Swift3D

Opps, Dang I didn't see that part of the rules I wonder if its ok? They use to be every day items way back when.

I'd like to see a prop that tells a story. Show a piece of everyday item in complete dilapidation and disrepair.

...

But you don't have to do a modern thing, it could be whatever you want.

I will keep working on the sword until I find out otherwise. I asked in the rules for the competition.

Here is the start of the sword. I think I will be adding more detail just have to figure out how, and what to add.

Sweet Thank you.

Here is an update. I made the hilt less of a square and made it fit around the blade better. I also made the sword thicker to give it more of a stronger feel. Anyone have any suggestions?
