its a good start... the sword lacks detail (low polycount) but that just needs practice. also, why is it suspended in the air? shouldn't it lie flat on the plane? |

since when is low poly a bad thing? in fact, i think this is actually too high poly (according to blender: 1743 faces, i'm not gonna go through and count). i should've mentioned that i intended to end up using it for a game, and just added the materials because i was bored. (i'll be going back and doing some UV mapping when i use it in the game). it's not supposed to look real, but it has many of the details you'd expect to find on a katana. as for air/ground positioning, clearly you haven't heard of the force. 
(sure, it's floating in the air, but who cares?) |

1700 faces... =O isn't that a little bit too much to be used in a game that runs realtime |

Way too much for a sword, pretty good for a full character |

I dont think its the real polycount number... you've got to go to utilities -> polycount to get a real number, face count is different. |

wha? correct me if i'm wrong, but i'm pretty sure there isn't any clay on katanas. Homer_simpson wrote: 1700 faces... =O isn't that a little bit too much to be used in a game that runs realtime
thanks i... i din't know that

uh... yeah, i don't use 3DS Max (yet i have a copy of it...). this is made in blender. |

1 poly = 2 faces in most cases .. sometimes there will be a poly that's one face, but most are 2 |

are you sure that came out right, paddylong? 
a polygon would be a group of (connected) vertices. i think, 1 face would be equal to 1 polygon, except in some cases when the face is modelled as a quad and the engine renders it as 2 tris anyways. |

in 3ds max usually the polys are made up of two triangular faces ... that's how max counts them any way |

you sure? I think its the other way around. polygon is a single triangle... a face - which usually is a square is made up of two triangles(polygons) |

pretty sure yes I would check for sure but I don't have max installed right now |
