Light Blade

This weapon was modelled in Maya at 4.6k polys and textured in Substance Painter & Photoshop.

Using it could be accomplished in three potential ways: slash or pierce like a regular sword; shoot lasers out of the tip as if it were a gun; or command waves of regenerating cross-blades to fly deftly towards a target.

Design concepts, inspired by a variety of European elements such as Celtic knots & crosses, the intricacy of rapier guards, and the heavy, daunting power associated with claymores.
