Anduril - Narsil Reforged

Anduril Sword - Narsil Reforged
Software: Blender (Cycles), Inkscape, GIMP
Time: ~25 hours
Sword asset, in human proportions. Guard is 252mm wide, entire sword is 1,120mm long with a 900mm blade. I used Inkscape and GIMP to create the lettering and designs on the blade.

Low Poly: 6,412 triangles
High poly: 279,504 triangles

Key challenges: Lettering took a substantial amount more time than expected. Getting the metal to be a proper colour while still being reflective and beautiful. There were quite a few challenges in the topology that still haunt me.
