Blender/Oblivion Simple Sword Tutorial Pt. 1

This video was made for the TESNexus wiki page, and link here.

This video is part one of a small series, and it will show you how to make a very simple sword in blender with essentially no prior blender knowledge. If you installed blender you should be able to make the sword (unless I suck at teaching, then its my fault). Please post some constructive criticism to help me improve.

I apologize for the poor video and sound quality, I have a bad mic, and I had trouble finding proper screen resolution to fit the youtube screen size. Hopefully you can still follow along!

Key things to know from the video:
-"1" key for front view, "3" key for side view, "7" key for top view
-hold in scroll wheel and move mouse to move the camera
-shift+scroll wheel to pan camera
-space to add new objects, light, and cameras
-right click to select, shift+right click to select multiple
-tab to change between edit and object modes
-"a" to select all or none
-"s" to scale, "s"+ click scroll wheel to select axis in which to scale
-"e" to extrude
-ctrl+r to loop cut, scroll wheel to increase number or cuts
-shift+alt to select loop
-"z" to enter wireframe view mode

[HMGenzel]

@kiomopo Yes, most likely, but I have no knowledge of the current creation kit or what file type or version Skyrim uses.

[HMGenzel]

@10000000firefliesify You won't be able to use 2.59 to export models for Oblivion, but to add meshes, click add->mesh in the upper left corner.

[HMGenzel]

@RealLifePlayer0 As far as I know, ctrl+r still loop cuts in 2.58. Make sure you are in edit mode (tab).

[Zephrith]

You can also add a loop cut vertically along the blade on both sides and move them towards the center of the blade to create a cool looking blood groove.
