WIP: Knife

[Dalith]

Hello!

This is my first serious model after that green thing I posted a week ago.
First time modeling after a reference picture too, it's quite fun!

Anyways, I've gotten this so far..

I have no idea how to make the knife blade, any ideas?

BTW: Is this good for being my hmm, 5th model?
I must know to see if I'm makin progress.

I would start with a box thats about the same lenth and width as the blade. Make sure is has the right amout of segments (just have a think about how man you need) and just work with that. You shouldnt need to add many more segments to the box after you have made it.

Ok now I've made the blade too.
I added the ref pic in the middle of screen to show you the details on the blade that I want on it, any suggestions?

its just a case of getting the basic shape down and then working into it once the shape is right.

here be a kabar i done a wile agow abit of a shoddy render . but i started with a box and the only cuts/devides i made where on the dip in the middle

lol, yours looks alot better than mine.

Well I'm finished with mine, this is the first time ever I use texture, I suck at rendering.
Yours is even nicer without textures!

hehe your is good for a first go. Keep at it. I dunno how to use softimage i think i might have to download it and have a go with it as it comes with HL2.
Smoothing Groups are really good for defining parts of the model as it will create an edge as seen on the blade of my model, but i havnt used softimage so im not sure if it works the same way.
