I agree with Broom Kid. I imagined a slight rolling bulge (heh) or wave more than that much static or movement on the surface of the blade.
That being said, full re-renders are a pain, especially the type of deformation I was imagining. However I do still like what’s there in Kewlfish’s WIP clip, because the thing was ripped in half… so either way could make sense.
Anyone mind hitting me with a DM link to the latest workprint? I’ve been lurking on and off, and now I am at least a version behind (and curious to see the latest).
