I am looking for a Chinese sword (Dao). There may be one, but all I find are katanas.

I found a few variations in my internet searches. Is there a specific design you are looking for? (Perhaps a link to a picture) I can do the modeling, but not too sure about my texturing skills. It would be pretty basic texture wise. What apps do you want it for? Poser?

Ok. I'll work on it tonight and hopefully have something for you to upload by tomorrow at the latest.

you might try free.daz3d.com and look at the old freestuff. There were swords in there.

Hey Wolfmanjim, did you try out the links markschum provided? They seem good to me, but I went ahead and made my own anyway. Its not smart or anything. Its just a prop, so it takes a bit of moving around to get it into your character's hand, but I think it looks ok. I need to re-learn how to make it parent. Let me know what you think please.

Always room for a decent sword.
Just position and parent to the figure, then save it to the props folder and presto.

Thanks for your help. I've not had a chance to use it yet, but when I do, I'll tell you.

although this is not a freebie, I made fully rigged and textured Dao sword in a product that I have just released at Daz : www.daz3d.com/i/3d-models/0/heavyx?item=11683
