One of the blessings and curses of Poser is that it applies smoothing. It rounds out the polygons so that the objects look rounded. That's great for people (Poser's primary use) but doesn't always improve imported props.

Your blade looks rounded instead of sharp along the edges. I don't know how to fix it (in Poser) but I've downloaded some blades that looked right so I'm sure it can be done.

Hopefully someone else reading this thread will tell how to do it and enlighten us both.

I like the design of the sword. However, the handguards look a little oversized - in terms of thickness not length.

Before they made me they broke the mold!
