@Spartan094 : you need to put more light on your text. Make it glowed such a neon to put it in value. To continue on the run, here is another sword. I made it for a project at school last year (i'm now in second year of 3D Animation at ESMI in France). It's was a project based on Silent Hill (movie and games). I've used 3ds Max, render with Mental ray et made the texture with Photoshop.
