Beam Katana - Engineers Fantasy - WIP

GoodDreams

Hi all, this is my first forum post. I was directed here by a friend of mine who said I needed to 'get some of my material out there'.
This is a scene i'm working on to compliment me recreation of the main weapon from the game 'No More Heroes' the Beam Katana.

This is the untextured scene that i'm still working on adding some detail to before I begin texturing, and below that is the WIP of the textures on the Beam Katana.

Minor update, working on high-poly versions of scene junk, added new empty cans and beam parts.

i was really expecting something lame from the title, but that is really cool. reminds me of the sword from no more heroes.

Cool design, nice model, awesome texture...what more to say?

GoodDreams

Haha, maybe you'll have to help me come up with a better title.

Yes, it's a recreation of one of the weapons in the game No More Heroes, which I haven't actaully played. I based the design on the concept artwork and took a few liberties in regards to scale to make it a bit more reasonable.

I'm working on this in my downtime so here's another small update, still working on replacing the place-holding scene objects with higher detail versions, heres the new books. I'm still making slight tweaks to my lighting setup to get the kind of color I want.

Any comments or critiques welcome.

That sword looks sick. The scene is looking good too!

Got a great thing going for you! I'd like to see that with a character model!

Awesome, I liked the No More Heroes beam sword and you've captured the look well in this.

Very interesting concept. Really great modeling, too. There's a slight seam on the loop around the handle.

Thanks. Could you be specific? I don't see it.

very nice, it look like a steampunk light saber

Ah, that's supposed to be there. The idea is that little part swings open for people with uh... big hands! Big... thumbs..!
