LoginToDownload Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 Blender is the best free 3D modeling software there is, and the Construction Set Wiki has plenty of tutorials on how to use it. That's probably your best bet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LoginToDownload Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 It's a really complex tool. This Wikibook is much longer, but more thorough and useful to get a feel for the program. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcole254 Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 Modeling things in 3D space is something you usually have to aquire a skill for. I don't think there are many people who can just jump in and make something perfectly how they want it. You need to learn the layout and tools in the program and certain methods ans techniques that you will learn the more you use it. The rest is patience. Best of luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcole254 Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 Ok to quickly get you started with making your sword try the following steps. (Note I am using a different program, but I'm sure there are similar features in Blender)First get a picture or drawing of your sword you want and set it as the background in one of the views (front, side, top)[attachment=9110:tutorial_1.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcole254 Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 Next you create a polygon and trace your sword. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcole254 Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 Tracing with polygon tool (in point mode?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcole254 Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 And here is the result, an outline resembling the blade you want If anyone sees any problems (such as some of these things you can't do in Blender please say so) this is just how it do this in the program I use.
