laido katana techniques

[steeleyedblue]

is there any way to create quickdraw katana attack anims in skyrim? i realize it would be hard even for an advanced modder but well come on it'd be badass.

 

for those who dont know what laido and battojutsu is, its a series of katana techniques where the attacker quickly draws his sword from its sheath and with that same quick motion he cuts with no change in his stance or swing speed....

think of quick drawing a revolver like a cowboy gunman and instead of a gun you use a sword

alternately like in the video laido can be performed from a sitting position and is used to attack an unsuspecting foe b4 he can draw his blade

here is a vid just click the cc button for subs

Wow, a nice idea, but that's a real pain to do.

 

Cuz it consists out of 3 different actions. draw weapon, attack and resheat weapon.

 

It couls make a great kill move, because then in the slo-mo you can do this sequence, but the real time is almost impossible to script. maybe if there will be further developments in scripting and blending animations.

All the mods out here that do smt in animation had a lot of work behind them... or so the modders themselves state.

meh it would be a pain but i have a pseudo solution you could always just do scripted attack anims with special effects like most of the yamato anims in this video

 

 

i imagine most anime fans would love this.... i actually would like it myself

and realistically it might be easier to do really fast draw/cut anims because if you think about it, all they really are is a series of really small anims that are strung together and sped up so that they look continuous... this way that when your character attacks you see a flash of the sword and then the sheathe anim guick, simple, cool, power attacks of course would have to be more elaborate with the draw stance but would be for the most part simple as well

Wouldn't an easier way be:

To make a new draw animation for 1 handed swords and attach a script that triggers whenever you draw the sword?

So whenever you draw you will do the iai animation, and you deal damage to things in front of you

To do another iai you just sheath your sword and draw it again.

I'm no modder but I'm pretty sure this could be done.

thats good too as far as a simple quick and easy mod but the overall effect would leave a lot to be desired since there is no "flash" of the blade or noticeable movement of the hand... now a skilled modder could always add a custom effect to go with the attack and make it a power... somewhat like this mod here:

 

 

or this one

Hmmm, all true and nice video's BTW.

More to the visual aspect then we'd need the blade to be more flashy, like giving it an noticable aure when moving. maybe rescript the "summon blade" spell into the mod when you draw/attack to give it the flash sense of being fast and unblockable.

sounds good lol if you can do it like that then go for it lol i just want to be able to cut some bandits up as a lightning fast dragon shouting ronin

 

EDIT: lol here is my character in skyrim for right now his name is Aer Ecko The White Crimson, and he is a ronin which is why im so interested in a iaido attack mod lol

At best you would be able to replace one nukitsuke (drawing and cutting) and one noto (sheathing) animation. However, there are limitless drawing, cutting and sheathing techniques and kamae (stances) in Kenjutsu or iaijutsu.

 

The video in the first post is literally the first kata you would learn. A character who only knows only very basic techniques appears kinda silly

[steeleyedblue]

...it was only meant as a reference buddy, to explain what it is that im looking for in case someone was ignorant as to what iaijutsu and battojutsu are... its not what i want to see just something for an animator to go on. remember this is something that may or may not end up looking realistic and might end up looking like some anime attack or something (either way i dont mind)

now this is a great idea. somehow i think that the draw animation for any weapons in the game is a bit slow considering that many enemies, especially wolves, uses surprise attack (jumping attack from behind if you didn't see them) which requires fast draws to attack and defend yourself.

like Rurouni Kenshin's bataou jutsu?

 

@1:55 ?

[steeleyedblue]

sadly although it is a great idea no modders have really picced up on this and i doubt anything like it will come to be at this point.... it severely depresses me
