Thanks!
The blue glow is created by the emission map which is just the light on a black background.

It's a nice model with a great presentation and fantastic style, but I think the UV space could have been optimized. If I were making it, I'd make four of the base bricks overlap, because I don't think it needs eight unique designs. I'd also overlap the sword's blades because there is no camera angle that will allow you to see both sides. You did a good job with the sword's UV organization but if you made the diffuse a 512x1024 I wonder if you could have gotten more out of your space?

so taking the highpoly and reducing it's polycount?
i guess that beats making a whole new model with a lower PC by hand

ZBrush already decimates stuff and bakes it. Its actually just a wasted step; moving it into topogun

Not entirely. ZBrush can do a lot. But sometimes its just quicker to take it to a separate program (which is damn cheap) and made for the job.
