    Post Samurai Sword Tutorial

    I've added a new tutorial to my site on how to ZForge a Samurai Sword

    If you have the demo version, you can still use this tutorial, you'll just have to manually assemble the ZTools into a sword. I'll be adding some more illustrations to the tutorial hopefully sometime this week.

    CDEdwards: Thanks loads. I asked about this a while ago. I'll give this a try and see what I can do with it.

    On a technical note.. this is a confused samurai sword. The kissaki (tip) curve should be on the other side. Samurai swords traditionally have round or oval tsubas (handguards). And the handle should be a bit longer. Can you tell I collect these things?

    Hi CDEdwards!

    Thanks for the great tutorial! It was very easy to follow and it's a great introduction to merging objects.

    Thanks everyone.

    Greg, I was afraid someone would point out the flaws. Once you get the hang of it, you can show us the proper way to model a Samurai sword.
