Ozi27 Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 Maybe it's just a matter of retexturing the mesh for akaviri katana,but i'm horrible with modding,i can't make anything at all. The only thing i could do is drawing the weapon i'd like to have... and draw it again with MsPaint because i haven't a scanner,so the scheme i have is pretty rough.If anyone wants to take this request, please leave me a private message so we can talk about the stats for the sword,the location... and if it is gonna be buyable or quest reward.Thanks in advance to you all,i leave here the link to the scheme with indications.http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/405/blacksharkkatana.png/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozi27 Posted October 25, 2011 Author Share Posted October 25, 2011 I hope this is not considered double posting.First thing,i have tried again to make this mod myself, but i'm unable to model it,even with blender that is suposed to be the easiest program to use.That said,i'd like to simplify my request saying that the stats for the sword should have a damage not too much above daedric and pretty good speed and endurance(don't know the exact word in english :P), without making it overpowered.Something i forgot to say in the scheme for the sword is that the grip is long enough for 2 handed weapon,although it really is one-handed(2-handed version,short sword version and off-hand short sword version desireable,but only optional)About the location,the easiest as far as i know is to add it to an already existing merchant and to the leveled lists. Other option is to make it a quest reward,such quest should be easy like: A female npc asks the player to go look for the man that proposed her marriage.She answered that she'd accept if he brought her a jewel from a cave/dungeon/ruin not too far from the city. The woman wants to know what happened with him,asking the player to bring a proof of his death if that's what happened. The player finds the corpse in the deepest room of the dungeon,and the black shark katana in the hand of the monster that killed him. Kill the monster to get the sword and take the jewel the woman wanted from the corpse of the man and give it to her to finish the quest... or something like that.

Matth85 Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 (edited) Well, I figured I'd make this. Just because I need something simple to make, after spending so much time having Max crashing at me over another request.I am a little unsure about the hilt. It looks.. not right as of now. Perhaps you can figure that part out, wether I misunderstood or the concept you had in mind is not enough in 3d. http://img256.imageshack.us/img256/1999/swordy.jpg Cheers,Matth Edited October 30, 2011 by Matth85 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ozi27 Posted October 30, 2011 Author Share Posted October 30, 2011 Starting from the image posted by matth85, There are only some correction i'd like to make:The teeth of the sword should be curved to the othe side, so they help when cutting and not only when stabbing.As any other katana,there should be a rectangular band of metal,in this case silver or bronze,between the blade and the handguard: That is the pice which keeps the blade stuck into the hilt, Which i think should have a wooden color between the black leather stripes,so it doesn't look like tensa zangetsu from the bleach anime.And the last thing is about the handguard: I've made a more detailed drawing http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/338/blacksharkkatana2.png/ explaining how it should look: Thinner,wider and forming only one piece, because the idea is to give it the shape of a 8-pointed star,that represents my philosophy: the 8-pointed star marks the 8 major directions of the compass,what for me means that all the ways are open and that always there is a path to explore and a chance to make or solve anything.

Matth85 Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 Decided to post my progress on this weapon. Done most of the texturing, exluding the normal pass and some runes on the blade.I might end up dropping the scabbard, or change it. It looked a lot better before the bake >.> http://img215.imageshack.us/img215/4937/swordfy.jpg Cheers,Matth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozi27 Posted November 6, 2011 Author Share Posted November 6, 2011 You can add a metallic tip to the scabbard,or if you see it is too much trouble,you can leave the sword without scabbard.The sword itself is perfect like it is. thanks for your work. :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matth85 Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 http://tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=40953 If there is any problems, please tell me.I am not going to work any more on this sword, as I got my hands full. So the scabbard isn't amazing, the AO isn't amazing, the specularity and normal pass is weak and there is no runes on the blade. Hope it serves you well though!Cheers,Matth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
