Made a new sword instead of the daggers, didn't like them that much and if I get the time I'll probably make some new ones anyway. Here's the sorcerer's sword.

l like the shape, but it either needs to be more exaggerated, or made to look more realistic

There's orbs near the hilt on the two circular parts of the blade and minor detail on the handle, just no good with render settings so I can't get them in . How would I 'Exaggerate' It?

You should also increase the size of the render...it's pretty hard to see them properly.

Since you use c4d in render settings, output set the resolution. Lets use 1024x768. Then go to effects and apply global illumination, add a sky to your scene and voila.
On another note

if you have r11.5 in materials go File\Load Material Presets\Cinema4D\HRDI\Hdri 022 or something. Apply that material to the sky and reflection to your blades and they will be very realistic

I seem to get better results when setting the GI mode to IR+QMC and the diffuse depth to 2.

That's true but IR+QMC adds some to the rendering time. A normal one should be enough for beginners because he doesn't understand how it works yet
And he might not have a good enough pc to render it

Also, Ambient Occlusion also helps.


If his pc is too weak it will just render it slower.

Havent used that yet. Ill try it when I'll model a sword for this

I think I need some help on how to model swords by using splines. I managed to make something but some faces looked really weird and I just abandoned it...
