Well Vincent, this was the best that I could do with Wings so far on your
Rapier Hilt project. Hope you like it.
(If you/anyone wants to play with the model at all, let me know and
I'll have it ready for download sometime soon. You can do what you want with
it, it's free.) :)
~Steve~

How wide is that crossbar? Assuming that the grip is 5" (wide enough to
comfortably fit a hand), then it looks like it would be 20-23" across!

Nice job!
So I'm wondering, is this a right or left handed sword, or does it matter?

Almost(?) there!
I think that it is very good, I'd be happy with it.

Hey Ben, that's the shortened version! ;) It *was* longer! :o)
Take care mate, and have a HNY.

...my impression is that it is right handed... Seems wrong in a left hand...
but I may be wrong.

Wow. That's the best rapier hilt model I've seen this far, in fact :-D
Actually, I've seen photographs of modern rapier reproductions that were
possibly less accurate than your 3D model ;-)
If you were to work on it again, maybe you could make the branches join
with a bit more acute angles. Maybe also the handle could be longer...
But since you worked merely from 4 photos, the result really is awesome
already!
I'd happily play with that model, if only just to make myself a
wallpaper :-)
Additionnaly, this answers a question I've been asking myself: Yes, I
*must* learn how to use Wings...
OOC, what time did you spend on the modelling?
Happy New Year!

No it's indeed a left-handed rapier. Well, that's the convention
actually, you could certainly hold it in your right hand as well...

This is a 'smoothed once' .obj model, (110kb zip) so you can still
adjust it to what you want. It's only the hilt and finial part, so you can
do the handle and blade as you want too:
http://website.lineone.net/~25ct/rapier_hilt.zip
I'll leave it up for ages if anyone else wants it.

Yes, give it a go, the learning curve is fairly easy. I think I've
been using it for about two years now, and I don't think I'll give it up.

Approximately 6 hours over two days for the modeling, and about 20
minutes setting the scene up.

And to you too. I'm glad that you like the hilt. :o)

Well, I did spot a mistake on that spiky bit by the join to the right
where it's scaled 'fatter' than the bit before it. I think I left some verts
selected when scaling something else. Anyway, it's now corrected in the .obj
model posted in my reply to Vincent. :o)

Thank you Stephen. I'll mail you soon...
