Beebww

Recommended Posts

Ok Ill try to explain this the best way possible and if anyones interested in making it Im going to post some videos showing you kind of what im talking about. You know how some swords are so heavy the carrier must keep it down sort of dragging it along with them I want that as the idle and the running animation in the videos theres 2 examples of this one in which the charector holds the sword with 2 hands and the other where she holds it in one. The first video is best at 0.12 it shows the pose. the second one you can see it kind ouf throughout.

That would suck for the blade... dragging the sword against a stone road. A pretty nonfunctional positioning of the sword, too.

The max amount of weight a (functional) two handed (biggest, meanest, war)sword could have is about 3.5 - 4 kg (5 pound?), so not heavy at all. At least, not so heavy you'd have to drag it along with you.

As someone that has actually used a proper two handed sword in a fight in battle re-enactments, I have to say, no, there isn't any good reason for dragging a sword along the ground. If a sword is that heavy, the first guy with a dagger will have you for breakfast while you are still trying to lift it.

 

Just saying {:-)
