Unleash your creativity and craft a mighty axe—let’s see what you can create! ⚔️🔥
I definitely learn a lot on how to modify the basic shape into I want. The E is my best friend now. I did changed the design some to see what I could while only using the new technique. I had to rewind a couple times once we actually started making the top part.😭
I had some fun with this quick "burner world" not really meant to be experienced, just a set to film in. I did havw some fun playing with the AI textures and it did make for a pretty efficient build for this purpose. I always publish these undiscoverable because they aren't really "polished" spaces, there's no respawn, don't jump. 😅

IG Reel will be coming soon. 😊
And why make one axe, when you can shoot an arrow through 12 😏
