I've been getting into Blender again, and here is something I made today. I didn't really take long at all. The picture is rendered using the Cycles render, rather than the internal Blender Render, which you can see gives MUCH better results, in terms of realistic lighting!

The Glass is also made using a preset feature in Cycles.
It's supposed to hold red-wine.

The sword was modeled using a reference (as I was trying to learn how to model using a reference).

Feedback is appreciated.

Well.. the glass looks amaizing :P
Not sure about the cubic sword though..

[AngelSandy]

Yeah, the concept art was very cubic and rough too xD

V2 up now, though.

V3 Uploaded.

[Rochet2]

Ok, I dont like the sword at all.

Everything else is /so/ realistic and cool, but the sword looks a bit blocky and wow like.

[AngelSandy]

Hah xD

The sword was like, my first try at making something after a reference.
It was not really meant to look amazing x)

Completely remaking the sword, not using any reference.
Just free-form. I think it's better. But I couldn't make it look as metallic and natural as I wanted to, without getting graphical glitches :<

Looks nice, but yeah, the sword isn't that great. May I ask, what is Blender?

[AngelSandy]

It's an Open Source 3D suite, that competes with 3DSMAX and Maya now.

Uploaded V5.

Now with more Axe.

No reference, free form made. The textures are solid colors. Just like the sword.
I think that in order to get a good result, to make the two weapons seem more natural, I would probably have to add actual textures, rather than solid colors.

[GasTrox]

Yep, adding some texture would help.

PS: I downloaded Blender and I'm reading some tutorials to start using it :P.

[AngelSandy]

It's fairly easy to get started with.

Yeah. I can make a cube. And that's it... The models in my game... well they basically suck :D

[Rochet2]

Latest version looks classy :P
A lot better than I would expect from a starter o.o

On the other hand, I have never used blender and only seen some 3d modeling.

Now with more...failed attempt at dagger? x)

And thanks Rochet :)

[Santewi]

Reminds me of Runescape, lol. Maybe it's because you don't have any textures :P

[AngelSandy]

yup <_<

Now with more spear.

[Santewi]

Remove the cheese and the glass and I wouldn't be able to tell if it was from Runescape or not :D

And move them towards the camera a bit more, can't really see the spear very well.

V8 uploaded.

Now with less cheese.
