As I mentioned previously at the attached link, this will be the present (WIP) for you. It is pretty close to finish it. Your helps were very useful. Thank you very much.

The sword consists of several groups to apply your favorite material to each part. Probably, you just need color, bump, and reflection. You may also want to use color, and reflection maps for the blade.

Is it acceptable to give you the sword object without textures? Please let me know.
Although, it take more time, I may prepare the texture too ?
The above picture is the sword without textures. Can you apply your favorite material to the each part in Poser5 Material Room, or in Poser4? I think it is pretty easy, and strait forward, except blade.

Lets me point out the possible problem. It is a high resolution object. It has about 23k polygons without the cross. One reason is that this object has complicated smooth curves. The tiny cross was also high resolution. It had 39k which was larger than the sword. We certainly could remove it. The Poser test rendering time of the sword including the cross (no texture) was about 25 second with Poser5 Firefly Production mode including cast shadow in the Main window. 2GHz PC. It seems OK to me if you dont have crowded scene. It may not be good for animation.

Let me know whether you would like to have it with or without the cross.

To anyone who did not participate in before, send me a quick message, if you would like to use this sword.
I will present it to anyone who expresses the desire to use it. You can use it freely for commercial or noncommercial rendering works. (You can not distribute the mesh or the sword object)

I was not sure if people wanted it since there were many free or inexpensive swords around, and if you were modeler, you could easily make it. In case you did not need it, I thank you for your kind helps, and this is my last report about sword.
