:: First Tsurugi - Models

------------------

First Tsurugi - Cloud's sword from Final Fantasy VII AC
In this deviation shows only two of the six swords he use in FFAC. My goal is to make all six of them and if possible, I'll make a short animation of how they work and are assembled together ^^ *thinks highly of myself* *cough*
These models are not finals becase I have to go back to them once I've made all the swords because I need to adjust them to fit eachother >.<

Working with this sword have taken me much more time and research than I thought. I tried to draw reference pictures by studying the swords in the movie.. however it turned out all wrong. *sigh* Getting a clear picture of the sword and the details was hard. It often turned out that the swords where different in different shots. ( Not talking about he switches one of his six swords -_-; )
I would like to thank Raven_237 from ff7acmovie.com for writing an excellent article about the sword(s)! It helped me greatly! Otherwise, I would be stuck in the research and never been able to start modelling it.

Oh btw, I just learned how to use VRay lightning ^^ It looks sooooooo much better now! *does the happy dance* +1 motivation boost ^^ (+99 in render time thou =.=; )
