KATANA MOD FOR KOTOR 2: TSL

Author: BIOShazard, known also as TriggerGod
Description: In the age of the samurai, the weapon of choice was the deadly ninja sword; the katana. This is my first real model that took a lot of effort to make. And one of the first I made in 3dsMax
Credits go to Quanon for helping me with a UV Map issue that I had for the longest time. >_>

Looks great TG!! Well there be a K1 version? I know you dont have K1, but it wouldnt take the game to make it, just to test it.

If I can get someone to make the files needed (I can make a set of model files for K1 of course. I think all it would take would be a uti file), then yes, I would release it.

Awesome piece of work Trigger :) ... I already had a katana in my game, an Inyri's model if I recall, so I used your katana to change the default in-game aspect of the Sith Tremor sword (which look the same as many other swords, always hated having so many weapons with the same model).
So big and elaborated hilt ... it must have taken time ah? :D

By the way, this is the longest sword-blade I've seen for TSL certainly.

thanks, keep stuff coming ... :thmbup1:

TG, you do know ninjas didn't use katanas. They where much to large for what they did. They used daggers that where made the same way as a katana but where much shorter. Made it easier for them to move around. Can't really do things like scale a building with a large weapon. Not to mention katanas could make alot of noise banging up against walls and what not.

Nice sword though. :P

Well, that's slightly in debate, the katana was in wide-spread use in the Samurai for sure, maybe not so much ninjas, but they definately used 'em. They were assassins often, their choice of weapon was not limited, though a smaller Katana, similar to that of a Samurai's sacrificial sword was definately more used than the heavier, longer, and much more obvious, katana...and let's not get into dai-katanas:D

Though agreed, nicely done, Trigger!! I look forward to downloading it...:D

Are you stalking through my internet history again DDD? :P

Still it took me a while to get the curve of the blade correct.

^Either that, or I just remember seeing it before. :p

KFiles link added. Would've had it posted sooner, but I was without a comp for the past 2.5 days.

The Typical ninja sword is a straight-edged shortsword
A Katana is a curved Longsword

Edit: I wonder if you could make this mod a saber hilt reskin
