A while back my sister @sheliesshattered sent me @alefvernon's concept art of ten swords inspired by the (at the time) ten albums of Taylor Swift. It looks like they have since added more swords for the recent double album, but leading up to that I was able to create these 3D models of each of the ten. I'm really pleased with how they all came out.
I modeled them each entirely in Maya as well as doing the UV mapping, which allowed me to create the textures in Substance Painter. I then lit and rendered the scene(s) using Arnold in Maya.
I also have some turntables of each sword, some with some fun animations! (Butterfly wings flapping, fire crackling, the clock hand spinning, that sort of thing) But! Tumblr apparently has a problem with uploading more than one video in a post, so I will be uploading those separately.
Credit to Alef Vernon for these incredible designs; they were done so perfectly it really made it easy (well easier) to create these models.
