Grandmaster Swords Mod Idea/Request

[InanimateAlex]

So I have an idea, it came about after the end if Blood and Wine when I went through and collected all of the Grandmaster Gear and realised that the Aesthetic of the Swords all changed between ranks, As an example.

=> => => =>

 

Do you see what I mean? the jump in design from a curved style to a straight guard is wierd and doesnt suit the overall feel, and if that isnt obvious enough the blade becomes undulating.

=>

 

So the idea is to use existing in game assets to rework the GrandMaster weapons and if possible all the Witcher Swords using other ingame swords so each has a distinct feel of their own,

 

Ergo using the B&W blades for the Grandmaster Griffin Sword

 

 

Skellige styled swords like Ashrune and Harpy for the Ursine Swords

 

 

Undulating blades like Gwestog and The Barber Surgeon for the Feline Swords combined with The Mixed thickness guards

 

 

 

Using Intricate straight Guards for the Wolven Swords, taken from Ultimatum, Caroline and Black Unicorn styled weapons

 

 

As well as a new Guard for the Grandmaster Silver Swords and possibly other levels

Gliffin

 

Wolf

 

Cat

 

Bear

 

 

Also integrating the "Fix for Viper and Venomous Viper Swords" by ScoutBr0 (Version B)

 

Obviously this will be a ton of work so I would like to know if anyone wanted to help me, give me pointers as Im a very Newbie modder. If anyone wanted to take this idea and run with it then go Ahead

You have my blessing, permission hopes and dreams

 

Obviously feedback would be great as I dont have all the weapons in the game so if you have a better idea for a style combination just say so.

Peace.

I also only know very little, but I'm not sure that it's possible to mix and match portions of sword models, like you were saying with the guards of certain swords, unless I misunderstood your request. Swapping models for other models is actually relatively simple, compared to something like scripting mods, for example.

Then wouldn't it be possible to create a custom model in another program? I remember seeing Lord of the Ring's swords being added in, so it's definitely possible to import custom models.

So those models were created from scratch by another individual, and he let the author bring them to Witcher 3. That's different than editing a pre-existing model within the game

Actually everything in the post is existing in game assets I found during my playthrough. But yeah essentially I want to splice different models and textures together

Well, yeah, but it still works as a replacer, right? Then wouldn't it still possible to splice together the elements of the blades you want in a third party program, in order to create a custom model to use?

Okay Guys quick Update Ive managed to splice the Mastercrafted Bear Sword and The Breath of the North into one Model/Texture

Im having trouble getting the files into mod form but here they are in Blender

I hope, this will find way to life.

Hey man, thanks for reminding me this exists. I haven't thought about this mod for years, maybe its time to relight the torch
