Macahuitl

[](https://sketchfab.com/blogs/community/sketchfab-weekly/?ref=sfb) Thanks to the entry in the page "Fair" (Faithful Answers, Informed Response) about the existence of swords in Pre-Columbian America (https://www.fairlatterdaysaints.org/respuestas/Pregunta:_%C2%BFExisten_espadas_en_la_Am%C3%A9rica_Precolombina%3F), I could know the existence of the "Macuahuitl" an ancient Mesoamerican weapon referred as a "sword" by the Spanish in their chronicles of the conquest and see the reconstruction made by Scott Brian of Brigham University. In this model I started to explore texture painting in Blender to make the details of the center of the piece and decrease the number of vertices of the 3d model, I still have a lot to do :v
