Futuristic.

I was a bit stumped when thinking of an idea for this weeks project that had to be based on a futuristic theme. After going home and playing a game called Cyberpunk 2077 I though that I would like to model Johnny Silverhands gun. But the Malorian arms 3516 turned out to be really difficult and not to mention I was using a software I was unfamiliar with(Maya 2023). So, after a small go at it I quickly realised that I was stuck when I got to the main part of the gun and didn't really know what to do. I felt completely lost on how to approach it as I have never really modelled a 3d object using low quality images as my guide.

Knowing I still had time to do something on a lower complex scale, I quickly changed my idea and started looking for something else to model. After doing some searching on the internet I came across this image which I was struck by. For the next 4 hours I was busy away modelling this sword and watching small tutorials for tools such as the Boolean to get that rigid edge of the blade correct.

I was really impressed with the outcome of this model even though I needed quite a lot of help when it came to texturing in blender as its a weak area of mine. the feedback mentions that some of the lines are off on the handle which could have done with a few minutes tweaking it but overall I'm very happy with this model and would say its one of my best to this date!
