Sword Worn Tachi-Style?

**Yoshitsune1189** · July 15, 2014, 09:00 AM

What stages would be involved in turning the worn sword through 180 degrees to give a tachi slung cutting-edge down? Would it also involve
new animations for drawing/sheathing? Could the weirdoascensor/kungfuserge Saya mod be integrated? Just throwing some out there...

Weirdoascensor could tell you more about it. You need a modeller though.
I'm interested in properly worn tachis, but I don't understand 3d modelling.

You most likely would need a new animation. Also would have to adjust the sword bone location (sorry don't know how to do that)

You can do the animayion in MAX or there is an animation exporter for Maya.

Its True. However, I'm thinking of a easier solution, albeit with no draw and sheathing animation:

So, lets say I make a Tachi warscape equipment type with vanilla katana_4. This is what a modeller can do: make a sheathed Tachi model, in reversed position. Edit the animation txt so when idle, the katana disappears, but when fighting, the sheathed tachi dissapears instead.
