This is a weapon I've been creating over the past few weeks for an indie VR game, ONESTRIKE. Our small team has been hard at work getting our prototype ready for the Make it SUPERHOT competition.
The blade itself here is not representative of what will be in engine. The mesh will have it's own shader and particle systems.

WISH US LUCK!
