Hey! Wanna see how I make an elf sword?

As the title suggests I am using Blender 3D to create an object.

Click to enlarge photos.

Here we start with a cube. As most CG development software, Blender starts with a cube.

Now we scale the cube to the basic shape of a sword guard and proceed to the next step.

We extrude both sides symmetrically outwards twice and scale them to look like knobs.

Haha! now we add some vertices to make cool down-spikes.

Now that we are done with the guard, we can create a cut-a-way of a sword blade with verts and extrude to make a nice blade.

Now fashion a hilt.

I won’t mention the minor edits, unwrapping and texturing (I might later) and various other processes it takes to get the above product but over all, I covered the basic stuff.

Pretty easy, Huh?
