Here I will show how to make 3d sword model in 3ds max.

I have used following techniques in making of this tutorial.

[1] First, take a box of this size in the top view port.

[2]Convert it into editable poly.

[3]Then, switch to Edges and select them like this and hit connect.

[4]Again select the edges as shown in the figure and hit connect {segment-2}.

[5]It will look like this.

[6]Switch to the polygon mode, hit extrude=350 as shown below.

[7]Again extrude twice by 10 units.

[8]Switch to the vertex mode, select scale tool and adjust it like this.

[9]Move the vertex at the tip of the blade a bit forward.

[10]Again switch to the edges mode and select the edges like this.
