Hello,

I've recently discovered the anime named "Claymore" and I thought the swords used by the protagonists were totally badass. This is why I've decided to try reproduce the global shape of one of those blades.
Here you can see a 3D model of Clare's Claymore created with Maya and rendered with Mental Ray. This time I've integrated another software you may know in the creation process : Zbrush.

Since I am totaly new to Zbrush I didn't made a lot of it but it allowed me at least to create textures from polypaint and generate normals which were applied onto the sword for nearly no technical cost while allowing me to increase the details a bit.
How do you use Zbrush in your modeling process ? What are the common features you use often ? Is it ok to do all the texture job with it ?
