Soul Calibur-Siegfried's Requiem

Lord McMutton

I made this weapon for the game Jedi Knight 3: Jedi Academy

On the site i sent it to, it's not getting a very good rating(6.7 out of 10) I need some suggestions on how to make it better. If need be, I'll get some shots in-game so you can see the sizing.

Heres a couple things that are very noticable, the smoothing along the top end of the blade makes the model look akward. In addition, the hilt is really thin for a sword that big, even being a completely impossible sword, it makes it kind of unbelieveable. Also, the texture isnt really doing anything to make the sword more interesting. If you take a look at the sc3 version of the sword, there is lots of detail in the hilt and guard. Take a look at this closeup for reference. http://www.soularchive.jp/img/wp/sieg800.jpg

that's taken in Gmax. Not very good at rendering. And that's...a lot of detail on the guard. This is the picture I used for that.
Not as much detail, as you can see, although I could make mine better

its not about detail, its about texture consitensy, so far it seems only primary colours , and in that pic alone theres far more lightning information than in the one you showed.

I remade the guard and the rings. I also modified the blade, which I think will get rid of that strange rendering. I also made the handle bigger.
