This is a norse Sword that I did once more in cycles. There are no textures needed for this blend. The background image that is used to create the reflection is not included in the blend but you can add your own environment image to get the same or similar effect. This sword is going to be used by me for my book as the sword of my Eastern king but you can use it if you wish in your own blends.
Does it reflect background images specifically selected or simply reflects any other things around it?
It reflects anything in the environment. I would suggest an HDRI image for best effect if your using it in an outdoor scene but if its indoor you can reflect the other objects in your scene.
Sweet and awesome! Gstretch?
