Moon Rapier
🕑 Added 2016-04-11 02:43:56 +0000 UTCSword 3D model test I did this week, was interestign to try experiment making a rapier and then working out a low poly for it, got to try quite a few things iwas not used to so was a nice excercise, that said I need to improve my workflow and start using substance painter.
Model done in blender3D, los poly 1400 polys (mostly thanks to the guard wires...), texture done in substance designer, the render is a screenshot form substance painter

Yep, is the typical guard of the rapiers, and is actually functional in more than jsut protecting the hand the sense it can trap the oponent blade and disarm them or break theyr blade. This one was jsut inspired on them so had a couple extras and is missing a couple more bars but acomplish my objectie so its ok ^^ Also got me thinking on the beuty of weapons and how in the modern tyme we lack sense of aesthetics, a weapons is beutifull because is simple and functional, there is no excess, nor lacking, there is beuty in such balance, and combined with a sense of aesthetics to and beuty on top of that balance withouth disrupting it, I fear this last part we have lost it in moderns times, too worried abotu making it cheap and loosing all respect for our worksor creating somethign that goes beyond the minimun.

It's cool but i'm not sure if the hand guard wouldn't be impractical... Edit: actually after googling some real rapiers it's actually pretty similar to them so i guess it probably would be pretty practical
