Hi all.

[How to place blood on a blade?] Not the complete blade, but some splashes or drops of blood with the typical appearance.

Thanks for support.

There aer various blood overlays for figures, but theya re set up for the way maps must wrap around the relevant human. There are severals ets of Photoshop brushes, which can be used in most image editors - depending on your skill set you could use those after the render was done, to add the blood effect, or to make a modified version of the dagger's maps and then apply those through the Surfaces pane.

Alternatively, these products can be used to add splash effects - you could use them on the dagger, then once you had them correctly lined up parent them to the dagger and place the dagger in hand (if you worked with it away)

though they are designed to represent larger areas than a dagger blade.
