A beautiful sword. Looks like a really large cooking knife.

First place to start is to model the sword. Then you need the texture. Then the hard part. Getting it into Skyrim. I can do the first two. I use Blender3D (Free-Open-Source). Like all 3D programs, there is a steep learning curve. Swords are a lot easier than armour and clothing.

 

I'll try to build it. In the meantime, you may have a hankering to do it yourself.

Easiest way of getting a Weapon into skyrim is by exporting it as an OBJ from blender, and importing it into nifskope in a vanilla nif that is very similar to the weapon you want to put ingame.

So:

Blender: Export OBJ

Nifskope: Import obj (with the old vanilla mesh selected, since the new model will replace that.

Remove the old "Material" node, and set the LightingShaderproperty node as a property to the NiTriShape node.

Start attaching the correct textures under the LightingShaderproperty node.

 

That's about it.

You might have to scale/tweak the weapon in nifskope to be in the right place and have the right size.
