Finally a good looking dagger.
Good to see you do some models :)
Hit "7" to show polycount, and hit "G" to get rid off the grid underneath.
Looks good, can't wait to see you texture it x].

Nice Dagger mate ! good job.
Your using ~32% (31.767898238574336883722302540348% to be exact) of the available space, 30% is (in my personal opinion) an acceptable loss rate, you should find a way to use the texture space more wisely.Quote:

As for the model itself, I would have personally added a glow effect to the blade with extended parameters, which would of given a better appearance ingame, but meh, what do I know. (Do remember, you need to have a mesh behind a model with extended parameters for it to show up at all. o.o)
Dat looks mad brah
Not sure if I did a good job at texturing xD

If you weld your UV's in your UVW map you can improve the texture flow, and as told above, save up texture space / increase quality or decrease filesize x].
Hope this helps you understand...

With this method you are using, you will either have textures that are compacted down (the reverse of stretching) or overlap o.OQuote:

The stretching is right, but I would rip the middle apart from the upper parts to increase the detail overthere. Ofcourse the bottom and top gets stretched but this technique is mostly for making those katana or just random sword handles where you want to give the roped feeling, that winds upwards.
Anyways, your very much interesting :D I've been roaming for some 3D people, and especially 3DS max. I haven't been able to find any upon to now =D Hi mate!
make dis dagger plos
