Maya for 3D Printing - Rapid Prototyping
In this course we're going to look at something a little different, creating technically accurate 3D printed parts.

the whole blade looks great! One thing though the wings on the blade or w/e you call it.. just are too rounded and bubble like.. maybe try to pull out some points to make it look like it also has a sharp edge.. do you get what im talking about? otherwise, really nice sword!

No really ckyuk.. thanks for posting that. If you remodelled that, even though it looks identical.. then you should always give credit to who made it first off. Tsk tsk.

I don’t want to steal anyone's work.
I just didn’t think it was necessary to say that the design was from someone else.
He put a tutorial in the web for people that want to learn 3d and want to know how he come with that great sword, so I don't think I did something wrong.
In the future if I’ll use a tutorial to do something, do I have to mention who wrote the tutorial ?

hey kazama - you should always make a reference to the original designer or the writer of a tutorial - even if you use a technique from a tutorial and make something completely different it's just common curtousy to give that somebody who taught you something the credit for it. People put a lot of effort into making free tutorials and they deserve the recognition.

that being said - don't worry too much about it - just do it right next time! user added image

All i was saying was that you should of just mentioned his name as people were giving comments about the design under the impresion it was yours. However you've done a great job of reproducing it and desve the credit for that, just not the design.

Emulating other peoples work is a great way of improving you skills quickly as you can see where you go wrong. I'm doing it at the moment with a guitar but I gave credit to the original artist who's work i was emulating.
