Since class on shaders my model have taken a dramatic turn. LOL, a good one mind you but a dramatic one nonetheless. I find myself playing around with shaders more than the models these last few months and I'm actually having a blast doing it.
The tsuba (guard) was actually kinda fun to make.
The hamon line on the blade was a bit of a pain. I guess doing it with textures would have been easier LOL
This whole thing was really just to work on metal and ramp shaders a little more.
The overall project turned out pretty nice ^^ at least for me
