Rogue's Energy Blade


Here’s my take on prompt #3!

I’m actually really proud of the topology this time. There are a few issues, but for the most part, I was able to maintain a smooth subdivision surface while creating relatively complex shapes. It was great practice!



Alternate view:

(I used an hdri from polyhaven, and the text and power button were made in affinity designer. Everything else was done in blender.)

Great job! The render looks very good and your topology is beautiful! I have two questions for you. First what resources do you use for topology and secondly I’m new here so it might be silly but how did you switch between these 2 images?

Thanks!

Honestly, it depends on what you’re going for, but there’s a couple of youtubers I recommend watching. Grant Abbitt has some great tutorials on the subject. For hard surfaces and booleans, I recommend looking at Josh Gambrell. A lot of the techniques I used in this project were based on his methods.

To create an image comparison slider, click the star icon in the toolbar, then replace the highlighted text with two images.
