Nothing much to say really, just a 3D model of a traditional Sikh kirpan. I was aiming to create a fairly simple low polygon model and let the photo texture do the rest of the work. Really enjoyed modelling this one as it has a beautiful curve on the blade. Decided to do an animation of the dagger as if for a virtual exhibition type of display.
Read MoreStill suprised at the lack of Panjabi 3D resources available so heres a traditional wooden Kanga (Hair Comb) 3D model for everyone to download and use. I know its nothing majorly complex but I hope it will be useful. The model is provided in 3ds format with a 512 x 512 texture. Read more for a tutorial on how to use the 3D model in photoshop.
Read MoreHere is an ornament that was traditionally worn by sikh soldiers on their turbans meant for going into battle.

Read MoreWell the site is back online and after a bit of time away, sorting things out, we are back and hopefully better and wiser. Always been a firm beleiver of – if you dont succeed at first, don’t give up, just keep trying.
This blog will be more generally 3D related and I hope to share some interesting 3D developments. Will start posting some of the older stuff and i have some new things I will be giving away for free.
