First post on Artstation!! I've made this model coming to coming to a year ago slightly before enlistment into the Singapore Conscription Army with the other things like animations and sketchfab uploads a bit later. The model's free to download if anyone wants it, check the Sketchfab post description.

Figuring out how to make weapon trails to imitate Warframe's style of getting that flow that comes out of the sword was the aim of the animation experiment. It was something that boggled me a lot back when I was a student in Singapore Polytechnic few years ago. Somehow I stumbled upon a very old 3D blog back then and it led me from there to using Nurbs and it all came together from there after some research and experiments haha. Do email me if you have any queries, though I'm not super amazing, I'll do my best to answer them. :3

Also lesson learnt: modelling from snippets of manga pages is the worst idea to come up with.
