Hey everyone, I am new to this forum and new to Maya. I am having trouble making a sword because I have been trying to make the tip pointy like:

I have tried using the cone and cylinder to make that, it does not come out any good..heh
And another thing, I have been trying to create a snake like figure between the tip to the handle like:

Any help or tips will be helpful. =D

Try to go through the Instant Maya Basic Tutorials - it will take u 2-3 days and u won't get confused facing problems like yours.

Nevertheless, if it's a poly model, try using extrude and bevel (scale) the "face" that u r going to make a tip of a sword.
imho - I would've used NURBS, modelling a sword (and a snake),- u get much smoother shape this way
