Ancient Weaponry New Custom Weapons For Fallout New Vegas

[kingjamesfan4]

I want to create these three real life ancient weapons for New Vegas any ideas and steps to take to create these three melee weapons? The three weapons are the Urumi a whip weapon with many blades, the Zhua grabbing claw, and a Morning Star mace from the Medieval period.

There are two types of weapons commonly referred to as a Morning Star, the difference being whether the Star portion is attached directly to the shaft or if it is attached via a chain (sometimes called a Flail instead). Since you say Morning Star Mace, I'm assuming you mean the attached version and not the chain version. That type of Morning Star is fairly easy to add to FNV.

 

In fact, someone has already done so, here:

The Urumi and the Zhua Grabbing Claw are both a bit problematic in that there are no other whip-like weapons already in FNV, so there are no existing animations to support them. I have made custom animations for FNV, but I have never made weapon attack animations. If there is a decent tutorial on how to make non-replacing weapon animations anywhere, I haven't found it.
