Title: My knife model
Post by: spriter12 on November 25, 2008, 01:20:35 pm: I just recently made this a few days ago. the handle was simple for me but the blade took four tries I think. well here it is ;D. (http://img139.imageshack.us/img139/9646/knfie2hk9.png)

I suggest to put a specular / glossy attribute on the blade, starting from the width of the handle and ending at the point of the blade, your knife will then look really real ;)

Very nice

I recommend to download anim8or v0.97 since that's the newest and most stable release with ray tracer.
How to work on attributes is simple: create a new material, click 'attributes' and add some of these (http://anim8or.com/download/preview/art_raytracer.html) attributes.

But.... If u want it to look even more realistic, make another object (hand or meat) either holding the knife or being chopped by it. Either way it looks really cool! Keep up the good work!

Open your material for the blade, click on Attributes
Click on New and type : specular
Click OK and then click on String and type : glossy

Keep your color and set
ambient : 0.700
diffuse : 0.550
specular : 0.600
rough : 10000
leave the rest unchanged.

Then select ART renderer to render your image. You may have to change the above settings to get the best result for you, they are just a guideline.

Then show us the result ;)
