Here is final version of my Hûthvír model
modelling time: 2.54h(texture painting included)
This was my "weekend" project for otherwise at the moment i dont have much time(another week before i could continue working on it). All images except one(the image showing only the wooden shaft has only been rendered with 1200 samples) are rendered with 6400 samples so the noise should be reduced enough to see the images nice and clear.
Instead of fully following the art in the wiki: Inheritance.wikia.com
i decided to add a scaley looking grip on the wooden shaft. I thought it would add a nice appealing touch to the eye.
All used textures were created by hand by me (using gimp taking photos of stuff in my garage and taking a metal texture from Cgtextures.com)
I am not the proudest of this model i think that the textures of the patterns on the blade could look a bit more "worne out" and that the wooden shaft texture isnt of the highest quality.. and in general the whole choice of textures on the model could look different and make it look 50 times more realistic but i still think that this model is enough to show my abilities in using blender and in a short amount of time what im able to produce!
