Make a sword...and learn how to texture it.

I have done a great deal of work showing how you can use the cycles node in Blender to create awesome materials (also just started the site http://www.blenderinsight.com), but I thought that I also should show how to apply that texture that you create and the pitfalls that may arise… so I have made a tutorial about it :).

First part is just to model the object, in this case the sword, and the next part will go through how you texture it. Part 2 will be out in a week, but part 1 is already out. Have a look!

I’ve been doing a lot of bladed weapon models lately so this is of great interest to me. Thanks!
