Looks great ... could you comment on how you did it? Is this TGE or TSE?

I really think you need a normal map on that blade that provides a tactile feel to the blade. The perterbations that the normal map will have on the reflect/refract (assuming this is TSE) will really make it feel substantial.

Yes sorry it is TSE and when i use this final version for the weapons they will be applied only to the blade with is done just by havinf seperate textures for each of the part you want to shade seperatly and the shader that i used id a mix between the reflect and refract shader that come standard and a slightly modified tenderil shader..it was really and accident that i found it out...i was learning how and just playing with numbers and combining effects....whack cool shader but thank you for the post people----Mace
