How to 3D model a Sword in Zbrush! (Zmodeler tutorial)

Hello everybody!
I’m going to be 3D modeling a simple 3D Sword in Zbrush so it’s perfect for Zbrush beginners. I will be mainly using Zmodeler to build a base and shape, then lots of beveling and such. I will be doing a few more 3D weapons, this is just a great start off point. There are a lot of other techniques you can use to do blades or handles. I will definitely do a stand-alone tutorial showing how to do a “wrapped” hilt effect. Basically, like if there were bandages on the grip of the sword.

You can always play with proportions to do different styles. 3D art will let you do this at all times. You can go for realism, stylized, cartoony, and more.
