Asset Overview
I decided to try modeling a katana again, since it was one of the first things I ever 3D modeled, and I wanted to see if I could do a better job than I did back when I started.
I couldn’t settle on what design to do for a menuki, so I decided the go without. Same goes for the fuchi, kashira, tsuba, and habaki. So rather than spend ages going back and forth of on designs for those, I decided to just give it very simple/basic versions.
I may, in the future, spend a bit of time modeling an intricately detailed fuchi, kashira, tsuba, and habaki for this. As well as maybe a few other details. But I decided that getting something completed out there was more important.
I've tried model this as accurately as possible. I’m particularly proud of the work I did on the handle wrap.
I hope you like it!
