IMAGE DESCRIPTION: 

This is a fantasy greatsword, originaly it was to be part of a scene, but the
scene didn't get modeled in time for the competition close, so here is the best
part of it.

DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: 

The sword was modeled in Rhinoceros, using a few lofts for the blade and gaurd,
the cool thing that looks like a bearing race is modled with some CSG and
Radial arays, and the grip and pommel are a variety of Rotations and
Extrusions...

The texturing was done by hand in Povray, and reflections were done with a nice
blue sky sphere with clouds.. whee..

The shadows are from two area lights with a 1x1 size
