Blog thread, but am open to criticism. I'll be updating whenever I feel like working on this.
Progress of my newest project:
With lighting + global illumination:
It's the silver sword from the Witcher 3 intro. It's at around 800 polys, which I haven't tried to reduce yet. I still need to add the engraving and touch up a lot of the edges.
I plan on making the sword really detailed, and then work on a cartoonish Geralt and dumb the sword down from there.
