Need a Lefthand vers. of Punkducks Katana for dual wield

Postby spreadcore » Sun Apr 17, 2022 1:24 am

I was wondering if Punkduck or someone could create a lefthanded version of Punkduck's Katana. So you have dual wielded katanas. Thank You.

Thank for the info, But I'm aware of how the Katana is used in real life though. This is for a fantasy situation and so that fact has no bearing on what I'm doing. Regardless having a lefthanded version of the Katana asset would be useful if say you wanted to show someone just holding it or handing it to someone with just the lefthand, which you cant do as it is.

I have never had any problems putting swords in the left or right hand the main issue is setting the fingers around the hilt properly for the grip BTW the two handed style was called Niten (two heavens) developed by Minamoto Mushasi who also wrote "The Book of Five Rings".

I assume your putting the sword in the opposite hand using blender, Because as far as I can see you can't do that directly in makehuman. I'm not handy with blender, So having a vers.of the Katana asset that would go to the left hand in the makehuman library would be convenient.

BTW the two handed style was called Niten (two heavens) developed by Minamoto Mushasi who also wrote "The Book of Five Rings".

It's "Miyamoto" and yes Niten Ichi-ryū is a two sword dual wielding style.

Sorry but swords are never handed weapons it does not mater which hand you use with a katana or any other sword been swing blades in real life for decades.

As for this statement, I did a little quick research and there are one-handed swords and two-handed swords and there's plenty of references to dual wielding swords both modern and historic (Miyamoto being one) in real life.

Now if your referring to there not being swords made for a specific hand (left or right) that's basically true. ( I believe a couple of actual left-handed swords have been found though, which were probably custom builds for the user)

heres some examples of dual wielding.

Note: This discussion of real life sword usage while interesting is off what my topic is about so lets drop it now please.

Including it in makehuman means that you have to provide the pose data as well as the katana mesh the pose data is the hand griping the hilt that can only be done in blender ATM (actually hand shape and parenting of the sword to the hand in question)
