This is the Black Sword, AKA the Shade Blade from Ultima VII & the Serpent Isle. A work in progress with textures needing to be optimized and edited, so please let me know how/if it works for you and any suggestions you may have for improvements towards it. This is my first NWN model so please treat it and any comments or suggestions you have accordingly. Also, the contents of this file need to be placed into the override directory at the moment. Thank you.

I actually had mine originally textures almost exactly like that in 3D Studio, but didnt like the look of the textures in NwN so much. Glad you got it to work a bit better! Good luck.
Hey Ahnion! That looks even better. Amazing what a little bit of retexturing can do =)
This is what's going to go in U7: Agape, right? Anyway, I hope you'll release the edited things bit by bit. The single worst thing that plagues the Ultima remakes is that they never seem to release incomplete bits, even if they've done single specific items or whatever that could be used elsewhere.
(I'm also doing an Ultima VII remake, but that *isn't* going to be a remake of the whole game - just a small part of it (Skara Brae). I'm not sure yet if I'll add The Leetsword to the mess. =)

I created this in a fit of re-learning 3D studio, so it is a bit inefficient. I dont mind if anyone takes it and 'efficasizes' it! LOL
Im glad you like it WWWWolf. I was hoping with some tweaks to make it just like the shade blade (have it cast a death spell, perhaps suck life, things like that) but never had the time to do a complete hak.
Since then Ive been working a lot more so I havent had time to do more, but I cant wait to see your hoe of destruction!
The sword looks pretty cool, but it needs to have way fewer polygons. You should be able to shave quite a few off the fine details, especially on the hilt. Try to shoot for no more than 500. _________________________ Cherish always the memory of the fallen.
