I have no idea where to start with a blade topology and keep it in quads for a game mesh, Mostly the tip of a blade where it curves in. any help and wire of other blades would be amazing.

    Why quads?

    sword_PNG5525.png The whole blade, i cant seem to understand how to model this. Im trying to keep it in quads so i can use it as a low poly in the creation engine, and import it in to zbrush with out irregularities, also im using MODO 801 / 3DS max

    I'm fairly certain he was asking for a screenshot of the topology since that's what your question was about..

    Quick low poly that was close to my first trial, HUanGnP.png Subdivided 2N12iN7.png And i guess i worded the question wrong. I dont know the best way to make it. As the screen shots above. I have no idea where to start. As the point always ends up weird. but sub D is how i want it just more pointed. i just dont know where to start.

    quick take on it, didn't terminate the support loop for the middle part properly but it seems to smooth fine.
    for the middle part, I used quarter of a quad sphere stretched out.

    Normally, instead of doing that, I'd just be a filthy cheater and crease that middle line instead of using support loops there because it gives both more control and cleaner results.
