WORK

Hard Surface Modeling.

First we need to chose one from 4 categories, Vehicle, Weapon, Robot and Machine. I chose Weapon for this Assignment.

( Image of Sword )

This is an image of the sword that I intended to create for this project in Blender.This sword is the one used by the main character, Kirito, in Sword Art Online.

I started by modeling the hilt of the sword.

Next, I modeled the guard of the sword. Since the guard of this sword has a very distinctive shape, it was challenging to create using Blender's features like loop cuts and extrusion.

Finally, I created the blade of the sword. It was challenging to express the sharpness of the blade.

To summarize, there weren't any particularly difficult operations overall, but it was challenging to imagine the final shape and combine various functions to create the ideal form. There were moments where I made mistakes and had to go back to the previous edit screen from 10 minutes ago, so the production time took longer than expected. However, this has always been a class I wanted to take, and it was very enjoyable to experience the process of understanding more and more how to use Blender, a software I hadn't used before.
