Blossom Katana

3D Model

“From death comes life” were the final words of this katana’s wielder. This katana was used to put an end to unneeded violence and making the world a more peaceful place. But in the end, before the wielders dream was realized, he also fell victim to this unneeded violence.

The katana is infused with a cherry blossom, which stands for a time of renewal.

I made this katana initially because I was watching Demon slayer and got inspired to make my own katana, after starting this project I dropped it pretty soon. But after I started watching One Piece, I felt motivated again and finished this project with a lot more than I initially planned. I first only cared to make the katana but later I found I wanted to make the Saya (cover) and the katana stand as well.

This model is not intended for a game, but could be used in one. If you want to use it in a game, I would recommend baking the Tsuka wrap onto the Tsuka handle (The Tsuka wrap is 25k poly’s). This would make the performance a lot better.
