Quite nice, the only thing I would like to point out is that the handle has too much geometry, try reducing it.

looks cool but the handle is way to simple. you shold change it a little from just a regular cylinder.

good beginning,looks like cloud's sword(FF7)!
i agree with RUBBERCHICKEN and ELEMENT_KHAOS,i think you should reduce the handle's geometry and add some details:tup:

for the bump, just add the same texture to the bump map, which is in the material attributes... its a neat little trick..

thats what I did when I made this sword, and it looks pretty good.. https://forum.simplymaya.com/attachme...&postid=146569
