plain and simple… a brandy new sword, and it’s short… the detail is put into the simplicity… no subsurfs here… what do you guys think? were the textures applied well? need adjusting? too reflective? too bright?

Nice work

post your sword! I’ll give you crits on what to fix… and tell you what looks cool… anyway, thanks for posting! appreciate the comment…
awesome!!
a few pointers:
on the hilt, make sure you use autosmooth!!
same with the blade.
everything else looks great!!
I took note of autosmooth… but it didn’t work on the blade, too complex for it… but I am patching it up right now… and I should soon have a better blade… (without autosmooth) but it is being used on the hilt, thanks for sharing! and yet again, I learn a little more about blender!
Looks good so far 
Only crit I have is the blade looks slightly plastic. I think that’s because the colour is too dark. Also adding a texture with a few small scratches and dents would make it look a lot more real.
The blade is a better look than mine has though. Still working on it 
I was going to scratch it and dent it, and beat the crap out of it… burn it, melt it, the works, but my dad wanted a brandy new sword 
hehehe… I’ll mess with it later… anyway, details are really nice on your sword… so mine still isn’t quite as good… I’ll make an attempt to make it look less plasticy, and thanks for the reply! means a lot coming from the sword master! 
Have a good one,
