So I dont have the spare change to get a real one yet, this will have to do in the meantime. You guys post so many great photos of the knife, made this real easy. I still gotta add the clip and backspacer, hollow out the lanyard hole and slap some texture on it. Then I can composite it into photos of myself and dream that I actully have one :)


What is amazing me having done this much, is the exqusite design. I nearly crapped myself when I pivoted the blade closed with the rotate tool and saw how it lovingly wrapped around the internal structures. Makes me want one even more....this one doesnt cut real well.

I am a video game developer so I was just futzing with this while I was compiling what I was actually suposed to be working on. Maybe 2 hours altogether on what you see there, textureing may take a bit longer. I used Lightwave 6.5 to model it since that is what we use at work.

I had the idea to do it last night when I was working on my freelance job. I was looking at AluminiumOvercast's excellent shots of the SNG and thinking to myself how much easier it would be if my photo-sources had that even lighting like his shots. Then I thought about how much fun it would be to model the SNG.

Not even close to as cool as a real SNG, but its all I got.
