I'm pretty sure that Throttlekitty has made japanese weapon fans a long time ago. But I can't find them on Nexus or PES - maybe someone else knows where to find them (Buddha?). You wouldn't be able to animate them, but you could make a script that switches a folded/unfolded mesh depending on whether the fan is drawn or not.

Really? I was looking up and down everywhere if someone did it already. Not expecting it to be animated of course, but I'm sure I can script something like you say.

edit: I did find the mod, not quite what I'm looking for though, so my request still stands

Thanks, I thought about checking ElricM but then I didn't. :(

May I ask what else you need? The meshes look quite good to me and there are a lot of options to choose from as well. Retexturing them shouldn't be too hard either if you don't like the textures.

The shape pretty much, and how it's held by the player wouldn't be right either.

There is no way to change how it is held by the player unless you do some complicated OBSE scripting and new animations for the fans only (same reason why there are no spears or crossbows yet, at least not good looking, flawless ones). The shape is a matter of taste I guess, but I think with a strong normal or even parallax map you could change the 'clean ones' into something that looks like on your pic.

I'm a picky person :P I'm not sure how much you could change those meshes with a just a normal map or a parallax map, but I'm not sure you could make it look like the one in the pic

It has a handle, and those meshes don't. As for how it's held, I meant in relation to what part of the fan would hit something,

Wow, I forgot all about those! I never really was happy with them.
I could whip up a new mesh for you, should be pretty simple. Did you want something exactly like the picture, or any changes?
I don't have the inclination to give the texture any love right now, maybe someone can fill in on that? (honesty is the best policy, right?)

Wow thanks Throttle. The fan itself should be as long as a shortsword roughly, with the actual hitting part being http://img18.imageshack.us/img18/1912/53170553.png, but it should be more slender like http://ep.yimg.com/ca/I/matrixcollectibles_2095_90273224.gif

So what I perceive as the handle is actually the striking end? It looks to me like she's holding it on the compressed side (handle).

oh and please, lowercase. I look funny capitalized.

hmm, by none-wide i meant the ends of the fan blade not the handle. so yes pretty much like how it's being used in that pic.

Hi, been gaming a bit too much, but here it is:

I don't have Oblivion installed, so I haven't checked it out in game. Texture slot will need to be reassigned, and positioning may need correcting. I've included a little 'rotnode' to help with fine tuning any rotation that might need done.

Looks awesome :D thank you

However, I checked it out and it should definitively be larger, it's about the size of a dagger now but should be closer to a shortsword. It also has no havok and the texture shows up as a solid color of brown in game. I don't think the positioning is bad, but it looks like it's floating in the players hand, I guess that would be corrected if it was made larger.
