Luminous Glaive

I designed and made a sci-fi glaive that turns into a hardlight scythe. A small personal project of mine.

Turntable animation!

Original design for the weapon

The low poly model, with a poly count around 2.6k tris

The high res sculpt of the glaive. The scythe part using its own effect, it does not require a high res sculpt

UV Unwrapping for the whole model:
- The main glaive parts are in the bottom left corner
- The scythe blade retains its shape, and each part of it are spread evenly for the scan lines to map properly
- The top right corner contains decal textures

The model in Unity. The glaive material and the scythe blade material use Poiyomi Toon. Some of the elements were created with the help of Material Maker
