I didn’t spend too long on this because I kept running out of ideas or running into problems. If anyone has any suggestions or feedback please tell me!
This katana looks VERY GOOD! Great job on it! It’s especially excellent for your first one you’ve made! I’d say make the blade a bit less wide in size so it looks more slim like a katana, and make it a bit longer with its height. Other than that, it’s good! How long did it take to make? Will you use it in anything?
I mean its still like a straight sword lol
You can curve the actual blade and also make it thinner. It should then take form of a katana rather than a machete
On blender you can make the sword straight from the start, and then either using loop cuts or knife cuts, you can split it horizontally many times.
Afterwards you can use a simple deform to curve your entire sword to make it more katana shaped.
Just follow this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GlLjLkPsGyk
Yes this is so much better. It’s thinner and actually curved like a katana. Some additional things you can add to the katana is the blade collar and the little metal bit at the end of the handle.
