MiniMage: There's many other models just like this model on the hive. We don't need more copies to the ones already here. Rejected for unoriginality.

This is good! I thought swords like this are only found in Myths.and not just any Myths,Mythic Myths

The texture on the blade looks weird.

Also there are ridiculously flat parts, at the beginning of the blade, at the start and end of the handle and beginnings of the guard. It could also use a better wrap. Overall, needs a lot of work...

Seems a bit dull, especially the blade.

It could also use a better wrap.

Yes.

Also there are ridiculously flat parts

I thought they wouldn't be noticeable in-game, so I saved some polies. :[

Looks better, but the blade doesn't look like a longsword, more like a rapier blade on a longsword hilt... Longpier.

Another good looking attachment from you. Keep it up! I really like your style since it stays true to its reference.

 

[Heinvers]

Now this is more like it, looks nicer right now.

 

[duotianhui0000]

fantastic work!

 

[MiniMage]

This doesn't remind me of a longsword. This reminds me of the Stark girls sword "The Needle" from Game of Thrones.
Hell, had the guard been rounded, I would've assumed this was a rapier.

It looks simple, as your models tend to, but there's nothing wrong with that; if every unit in the game used bulky, epic looking weapons, it would just look silly. On this weapon you've done a good job of making it look both functional and fine. It also has a good file size.

It does have its flaws, though.

The crest of the handle needs to be wrapped better. First, it's blurry, likely from having a practically microscopic portion of a texture wrapped to it. You should try to find a texture with something similar to its gem but larger so as to have better resolution when wrapped. It's also obvious that you didn't bother taking the time to properly wrap the rest of the area around the gem, as it's stretched and looks as though it's probably just whatever happened to be on that part of the texture. You should take the time to wrap every part of a model so that you don't have odd parts like that.

The crossguard also doesn't look very good, but that isn't really your fault; the crossguard in the source texture you used simply doesn't look very good. At the expense of adding a few extra polygons in order to wrap a better-looking metal texture into a similar shape, adding between 0.5 and 1 kb to the file size, you could make it look better, but that's a lot of work for a small difference so I'd understand if you didn't want to do this for a model that someone else asked you to fix and upload for them anyway.

With all of that in mind, I'm giving this a 3/5.
