Cutlass, Tempered Steel, MESH, SPD, Unscripted

This is the classic! Steel construction, tempered and highly polished blade that you can shave with, and some fancy cup engraving to boot. Add the black leather sheath and you're all set to buckle that swash.

Every pirate worth his eye patch loves a cutlass. No matter the fancy swords that the would-be 'gentleman' officers might carry, the cutlass can best them all.

Strong enough to break a rapier's blade, sturdy enough to go blow-for-blow with a sabre and quicker than your average Samurai wannabe. And for the really in-yer-face fighting, the cup hilt offers protection to your hand and a nose-busting, bone-crunching smack to your enemy.

So, yer be needin' a good cutlass!

This one was loveingly created from only the finest mesh. Days of sweat and toil it took over the heat of the Blender. Quenched and tempered, it was then clothed in durable yet attractive pixels, hand-crafted with custom normals and advanced materials for that all-important realism.

The cutlass is protected (or, rather, your leg is) by a range of optional sheaths encased in only the best leather and metal fittings. There are sheaths for left and right-side hanging carry (different LOD optimisations for the different viewable sides) and one sheath with no hanger for slipping through a sash or belt.

All the items are carefully optimised for visible detail at all four LOD levels, balanced against the additional ARC. Full use is made of advanced materials (including hand-adjusted custom normals in the mesh workflow) so they look better if you have advanced lighting and bump/shiny turned on in your viewer. Textures are efficiently UV-mapped and AO-baked at 16x oversampling.

The cutlass is SPD meter compatible (although, most stuff is, even an unscripted toothbrush if held in melee mode). All (apart from the scripts themselves) are copy/mod so you are free to edit as you wish, or swap out the scripts for your own combat scripts. Check the title to make sure which you are buying. The unscripted are a little cheaper to save you money if you don't need my scripts and animations.

Please note that not all photographs show the same product; the in-hand pictures with me in are taken with the Silver version.

For the scripted versions...

If wearing both the in-hand and sheathed swords together, you can switch between them with the usual chat (draw, sheath) commands. The channel is easily changed.

On attack in mouselook, the sword plays a range of basic attack animations and sounds. When just held (drawn), a single right-arm-only animation plays to override your AO for that arm. It helps stop you poking yourself in the eye - the reason many SL pirates have to wear an eye patch! (Note - if your AO is badly made and uses high-priority animations which it shouldn't, all bets are off here)

I think that about covers it. BUY YERSEL' A CUTLASS and help keep me and me wench in grog!

Give me a shout in-world if you have any questions or problems. I'm never more than a couple of days away from SL unless on holiday, and I'm always happy to help. Please note that not all photographs show the same product. Read the description!
