Earlier today, for reasons unrelated to Blade Symphony, I had occasion to create a model of a dinner fork. Then it occurred to me that obviously this was something sorely missing from Blade Symphony. So I present to you.... the dinner fork..... OF DEATH

I think the low poly mesh could probably use a few more edge loops to smooth out the profile, but I feel like I'm finally getting a handle on normal map generation, and at least a better handle on source engine material creation. (Still not totally happy with the metal texture for this thing but I'll eventually figure this out. Then again I'm not all that happy with the metal textures of the swords included with the game either.)

Now I just need to update the Blender template with some improvements I've thought of, and add a section on normal map baking to the Blender guide.
