Description
I was inspired to redo my Shinto Katana by someone who pointed out a very crucial error in my previous blade construction, and by the movie "The Last Samurai" :) Basically, I redesigned the blade from scratch, fixing the flaw where my Sinogi-Ji (flat edged blocking surface on the back) and my Yakiba (the temper line aka the Hammon) were joined. So being the sword enthusiast I am, I fixed the problem and added a Wakizashi sword as well. I also had some fun teaching myself a little Japanese Kanji in the process. I believe the little bit on the right and inscribed on the blade means "fire", but as I wrote the kanji myself in photoshop it may have lost something in the translation. Pure Bryce 5, post Photoshop.

This is a much more accurate representation of the japanese swords. Being the sword enthusiest I am, and knowing that my own personal knowlage is limited to my expoure to literature of swords in general I went and did some research for my own personal gain. I found some great information at the following sight, http://www.bugei.com/index.htm. Perhaps it will further inspire you to make more renders of this quality or even better. I would be intrested in learning how you created your blade, and the rest of your pieces in the the image. I am a bit of an ammature in working with bryce, and what im doing now is making grey scale images of blades in photoshop, them applying them to symetrical latices, but i find they turn out to be a bit pixilated when i proceed to the rendering of the image. If you are open to sharing your experiances e-mail me at dsoger@hotmail.com
