Samurai Katana

Gantork

Samurai Katana I modelled using reference from a real handmade sword. Base mesh with 3ds Max, high poly with ZBrush and textureing with Substance Painter. It was a lot of fun sculpting the ornamental details. I recommend the tutorial by Seth Thompson, that explains the process really well. Here is the Artstation link where you can see the marmoset viewer: https://www.artstation.com/artwork/gmLmZ

I would really appreciate any advice you can give me.

Hope you like it!

That wakizashi definitely looks solid.  I think what might be doper would to have some slight random body oil roughness variation on the handle.

Thanks Brian. Yeah that would look good, but I wanted it to look clean, like a sword for display on a museum or something like that. Maybe I'll make an alternative texture.
