WIP: Musketeer Rapier

[babywax]

I've been working on this for about 3 days, looks pretty good, it's 795 polies.

or maybe one that shows more detail? without a black background?


From what i can tell, it looks good.

Hehe, sorry about that, this is practically my first model
I hope this gives enough detail, just add a ? to the end of the URL when the new window opens.

Looks good! But the actual handle seems way to small to me, and far to round. Its hard to explain in english... From the front it looks good, but from the side its to thin, should be more stretched out.

Then again, I dont know much of swords, just comparing it to the one I have

Dont think it will matter much ingame, that's not something you see at all due to the hands.

Thanks, I used armor.com for reference. The handle looks to scale to me... Anyone else think it's small?

Here are some of the pictures I used for reference:

It's meant to be a loose copy, not exact, I left a few things out to keep the polycount as low as possible.

If you look at the reference, your handle is smaller than the blade from the side, but its just as thick in the ref. The reference gives a much better feeling of proportions. Not to mention, it would be very hard to grip such a small handle

 

[babywax]

Now that I look at it, you're right, thanks

Looks good.
