Either one attacks and takes out his opponant in one hit, or he is blocked and its a case of who can flick their wrist quickest. You can turn a Katana through a 135* killing arc with minimal effort. |

well but still you wouldn't want to lose ur fingers rite  ow and another thing, if the guard should protect the fingers, wouldn't it be more effected if it was turned 90 degrees? cause most incoming blades would slide over the flat side of the sword, not the sharp side :unsure: :paranoid: |

WOOHOO!
Now the hard part... texturing. :alien:
Hmmm, blade will be silver/grey, but for the rest should I do gold, silver, bronze, or something else?

Why does the hilt look like a spindle of wool? Because C4D's image vectorising is a bit shite. I did like it at first, but with the texture added it looks crap, so I've removed it. Anyhow, just adding some finishing touches, I'll upload beta1 soon. |

Okay, I've finished fiddling and here are a couple of shots of the current version. Let me know what you think. First one, time of image is early evening during the summer, so the sun is giving a very slight reddish tinge: |
