Okay, here is a little tutorial.


Here is a little sword, it's okay... I guess, but it's pillow shaded!


There, that looks better, but it's hard to make out all the colors.


There, thats looking much better, but theres still something missing...


Now that looks good, metal almost always has reflective light on it somewere.

The blue blade does look much better,
But the handle is still pillow shaded.


I hope this helps. And you could go to "Tools, Tuts and Linkage" in General Discussion.
