Cyberpunk Katana

My first Blender model — a one-day hard-surface sword with emissive trims.

I wanted to widen my toolset beyond 3Ds Max, so I installed Blender and gave myself a single day to make something with it.

This sword was the result — my first model in Blender, built by carrying over everything I already knew from 3Ds Max. Migrating between the two turned out to be far easier than I expected.

What I practiced

  • Cleaner UVs
  • Emissive textures in Substance Painter for the cyberpunk trims
