Your handle looks better, but I think my guard and blade look better, no offense.

Right it wasnt meant to be good just something I made quickly to show you how to retain shapes and keep a low poly count It wasnt meant to be usable or even good

 

But did you see the poly count ? About a 700 difference and it still looked basically the same

[Deleted1848331User]

Yeah, big poly count difference. Also, added sheath and UV wrap.

Lord not trying to be rude but I think you should learn the basics first

 

Have you tried The Noob to Pro tutorial ?

[Deleted1848331User]

I have. Cant figure out how to UV wrap by myself, so I just toke it from the steel dagger. Might not have read the whole thing :whistling: Can't get it in NifScope either lol.

[alonsomartinez]

Yes , you should definetly read it again

 

The first 2 tutorials are about modifiers like subsurfs so I assume you skipped them if you don't know how to use them

 

And again there is a tutorial on exporting things in The Blender Noob to Pro

 

And there is Uv mapping techniques as well

 

My advice : Read every last thing

[ub3rman123]

In my opinion, you should keep the polycount low, as whittled items usually have lots of flat surfaces where a knife cut off shards.

Eh, for now I give up on the model. I'm going to work on the island and retexture a sword to look wooden lol.

Still read the blender noob to pro :thumbsup:
