Claymore

Medieval Longsword Prop

This 3D model is a high-quality prop inspired by historical European longswords from 1100 to 1700, particularly the iconic Scottish Claymore. The design also draws creative influence from fantasy games such as The Witcher 3 and Skyrim, blending realism with stylized elements to suit a medieval fantasy setting.

The model was developed for a short animation project during my field placement at Conestoga College in 2023. It was designed with animation and game pipelines in mind, focusing on clean topology and efficient geometry. The prop features an optimized quad-based wireframe, ensuring smooth deformations and a well-balanced polycount suitable for both real-time rendering and cinematic use.

Detailed UV mapping and attention to edge flow were prioritized to support high-resolution texturing and realistic shading. This project showcases my ability to create historically inspired assets with a production-ready mindset ready for use in games, film, or digital environments.
