In my majestic hammer I have built through maya, I will tell you the interesting parts of the hammer and what I learned from this project. I learned to unselect the faces together to get the claw and then I added an exquisite iron texture.
I used extrude to add a selected division and extruded the part again to extend to get the general outline of the hammer. On the handle I had trouble when making the End. It took time. This hammer was forged the the epic fires of haphestas.Another section I had trouble but got through was the beveling on the hammer. I would change the hammer to look gold next time. The skill it took to make this Magic hammer was awesome
