ok this is my first model ever, so be easy on me! ill start out with this sword, and if it turns out good, i may make some sort of armoury scene or something. also i started this after watching the first 2 parts of the cartoon dog tutorial, and decided to start out with a little more noob friendly project! also i know nothing about texturing, shading, and lighting so i kinda just tried some random stuff... anyway here are some renders: this is just the blade... i am working on the shaft right now! i just want your oppinion (for a first model, remember) and some tips on how to improve the model/shading! i am really not satisfied with the shading right now so i was hoping you could help me out! and be honest with me! if you think its a piece of **** then rather tell me than letting me think that i did a good job -.- in advance: Thanks
