Hey, I'm somewhat of a noob compared to some people here but I know how to model. I've been a member for a while but haven't really posted much. I was out of practice for a while but then got back into 3d... arting. :dunno:
Any way this is some of my best work. Unfortunately I angered my lil bro and he deleted all me high res renders and the .max file for it :wall: Luckily I posted it on another site and was able to recover a lower res render.
For the lightning I used photoshop to make a red lightning bolt shape. Then applied a neon glow then glowing edges filter. That gave me a sweet blue bolt. I saved it then whipped up an opacity map. Next I modeled the mace quickly and then made the material for the lightning. I made a sphere in the middle and 5 low poly boxes to slap the lightning map on. I tinkered with map cords until satisfied. Made a few renders, slapped them together in photoshop, and added a title. :dance:
Sorry I can't be more specific on what I did since the file got destroyed :hurt:
