Gearforged Sword

An industrial fantasy sword created as a real-time game asset.
The goal was to combine traditional medieval forms with mechanical elements, using exposed gears, worn steel, brass accents, and an illuminated energy core to create a weapon that feels both ancient and technologically advanced.
Modeled in Blender, textured in Substance Painter, and rendered in Blender.
