Ancient Filipino Culture Series: Pinutí
The Pinuti is a Filipino sword from the Visayas, Philippines. The weapon was originally intended as an agricultural implement. The grip is usually made of guava wood, which is light. The blade itself is approximately 16 to 18 inches (40 to 45 cm) long.
Pinuti is Cebuano for "whitened". As a farm implement, it would take on a dark patina due to contact with plant and animal fluids. When farmers sharpened their blades for combat, the blade was polished clean and white.
With this concept in mind I immediately look some inspirations and images for reference to start the modeling process in Blender. Then I proceed to unwrap it's UV and after that is the texturing process. The textures came from Quixel Bridge along with the other decorative elements. While building the scene my goal was to have some really deep volume and atmosphere on a dark room with only the lamp lighting the scene.
