Japanese Swords for you blacksmiths out there

[floydmorgan80]

new line of weapons (swords)

tanto (dagger) = under 30.3 cm

wakizashi (shortsword) = between 30.3 - 60.6 cm

Katana (longsword) = 60.6 cm and up

diato ( "claymore" ) = 90 cm or more

If you could, use the japanese names i have given for thier in-game counter parts =) I dont need fancy names and such.

 

i have done some research and came up with a better idea of what im suggesting.

 

As you can see i have wrote out the differant lenghts of Japanese Swords, I know some of you may already know this but lol i didnt. And did you know that the hilts of these swords are skinned with real stingray or sharkskins?

I'm looking for a blacksmith to forge me a set of these swords,

kinda what im looking for in colors and styles

 

the hilt - straight - dark flat grey almost black with kinda glossy black wrap, more like a leather wrap than a silk.

the hand guard - Square with pointy corners - dark flat grey - maybe a small accent design in silver

the blade - with a slight curve not enough to really notice a differance just a slight curve to it - the normal color of a blade lol shiny silver or metalic.

the sheath - dark flat grey with the same kinda wrap as the hilt ( full length of the sheath ) on the hilt use the same silver design as the hand guard ( i dont like alot of attention on designs ) will take away the effect of the look im trying to create an image for. just something really simple like a diamond or tribal type detail on a spot on the sheath about 2 inches long. and narrow.

Use the same texture and colors for all 4 blades.

 

On another note, i know thers alot of mods with these kinda blades, but im looking for a complete set that match each other.

 

I can tell you tho, i have downloaded almost all the ninja style katanas and i do give thanks to those who did the hard work on them. they are sweet. i use these swords alot in the game and its my style for all my toons. I have an archer that uses them too lol.

No one can do anything without a base to look at. Maybe you should get some pictures lol.

Not necessarily true a lot of modelers can make things from what people describe but a picture usually helps

[ub3rman123]

I could make some swords from the descriptions, in theory, but if I knew nothing of swords, I could end up making a falchion because I don't know specifics of what he wants.

 

Not that I want to try making weapons again. I have yet to make one that's not seriously screwed up.

I didn't think of that. But they usually don't look like how the requester wants... lol.

I have made several swords for people based on what they told me and lots of the time they were happy with it

 

And floyd have you ever thought about taking up modeling ? What you are describing sounds easy to do. If you do try Id be happy to help you

Hey peeps,

 

Sorry for the lack of pics, i did manage to find a pic of the swords i was requesting.

 

The pic i placed here describes exactly what im wanting, just would like to see some slight customizing done to them.

black leather strap wrapped around the hilts, skinned with a dark grey hilt. I also placed a pic of a tribal design i wish to see on the sheath. In silver about "2-3 inches long" dont have to wrap the sheath in leather strap i think it might be too much.

I would love to do my own modding but it would take me months to learn all this, i have downloaded all the required tools and programs i need. but i cant understand any of it to make use of them.

 

I seen alot of mods made on this site. I have to give you all credit, i cant believe the beauty and structure you all put into these things you are making for us. You all transform this game into a playable work of art. Absolutly amazing stuff.

 

I get excited when i see new things posted and cant wait to see them. Im not into goth stuff but wow theres some stuff here that looks great in goth.

I am more in to the stealth side of Oblivion, I use bows, sick katanas and such. I have alot of the leather armor and stealth type gear. If you made it i have it lol.

 

P.S.

My computor is fairly new, but it still lags in-game alittle and some of the stuff i have downloaded makes it lag reall hard when i use them. Like the stuff thats got alot of gloss and shiny parts.

Still looking for someone to help me with this mod request.

 

And some info on modding animations, i wanna try and learn to do it.

List of tools and a real simple guide. There really needs to be more animations for

weapons/skills.

Thatsecond pic you linked is that how you want the blade ?

[floydmorgan80]

No, No.

 

Lol, the second pic is what i would like put on the sheath of the blades, silver in color.

 

I want the 4 blades to look like each other in color and that tribal design on the sheaths.

 

Tanto - dagger

Wakizashi - shortsword

Katana - longsword

Daito - claymore

 

Dark grey hilt, with a black leather strap wrapped around it, the hand guard black shaped like a 4 pointed throwing star.... and on the sheath close to the top, doing down the sheath put that tribal design. about 2-3 inches long.
