A stylized 3D weapon asset created entirely in Blender. I modeled the base geometry following a tutorial to practice and refine my stylized modeling techniques. However, all materials, textures, and the overall color scheme are completely my own original concepts.
To give the sword a unique sci-fi fantasy vibe, I developed a custom vibrant palette using deep crimson and magenta. I also experimented with procedural materials and emission shaders to create the glowing "light-core" effect that brings the blade to life. This project was a great exercise in combining guided learning for geometry with full creative freedom in texturing and shading.
