Maya-Sword

After Wednesdays lesson, I wanted to carry on using maya primary to get as familiar with the software as possible, I’m carrying on with my sword design so far, I’ve made the blade and hand guard. Today I was able to make the handle and pommel for the sword, each one presented a similar challenge and that was lignin them up and getting their measurements right. The pommel took some playing around to flatten out, I originally had a roman sword in mind but I think it looks a bit plain so I’m going to go for a lord of the rings kind a vibe, overall I want to add used look to the blade and add some texture to the grip.
