It was a bit of a struggle to get even this far. Partly because I’m lazy, and partly because this does not use a modeler. Every component of the image has to be accounted for in the script.
I had to figure out the math to make sure the tip was tangent to the blade. Thankfully it didn’t take too much work, but you wouldn’t expect making an image to involve debugging to figure out what went wrong.

Now to work on the crossguard and hilt.
