Combat Knife

This example covers locators, rigid bodies, and LODs while adding minor changes to the Combat Knife.

Importing to Blender

Follow the steps described in the Imperial Barrel example, to convert the model's USF file and import it into Blender.

Hierarchy:

  • floorplace — locator for animations.
  • sfx\vfx — locators for visual effects. SFX is a deprecated abbreviation for Special Effects, but it collides with Sound Effects.
  • knife_geom — visual geometry of the knife.
  • rb_wpn — collider mesh.

Click the Eye icon on rb_wpn to hide the collider.

Adding the Curve modifier

  1. Add the Curve modifier to knife_geom and use the default bezier curve (rotate and scale it until it looks good).

  2. Add the same modifier to all LODs, apply all modifiers and move knife_geom back to zero coordinates.

  3. Optional: you can morph and adjust “rb_wpn”
  4. Export the model to the game following the process from the Imperial Barrel example. Note that in this example no custom textures and materials are used, so you only need to export the model as GLTF, convert it to USF and then to TPL and import it into the game.
