The path for the "wijaya_texture.vmt" is: (SourceFilmmaker\game\workshop\materials\models\76561197968428203\wijaya}
And the VMT needs to look like this: (just copy paste this in)
"VertexLitGeneric"
{
"$basetexture" "models\76561197968428203\wijaya/wijaya_texture"
"$bumpmap" "models\76561197968428203\wijaya/wijaya_texture_normal"

"$surfaceprop" "metal"
"$normalmapalphaenvmapmask" "1"
"$lightwarptexture" "models/shared/lightwarp_darken"

"$envmap" "env_cubemap"
"$envmapcontrast" 1
"$envmaptint" "[0.6 0.6 0.6]"
"$selfillum" 1

"$phong" 1
"$phongfresnelranges" "[0.5 1 3]"
"$phongexponent" 20
"$phongboost" "120"
"$phongexponenttexture" "models\76561197968428203\wijaya/wijaya_texture_exponent"
"$phongwarptexture" "models/shared/phongwarp_metallic1"

"$phongalbedotint" "1"
"$phongtint" "[0.1 0.1 0.1]"

"$pbAmt" "120"

"$envmapsaturation" .3
"$envAmt0" "0.5"
"$envAmt1" "0.5"
"$envAmt2" "0.5"

"$rimlight" 1
"$rimlightboost" "0.2"
"$rimAmt" "1"
}

wait, what .txt you use to remove the "Patch", Miles??

I honestly like the wireframe model better. it is cool looking

Advice for those suffering with a wireframe or white sword even with the Blade Symphony DLC installed:

(Use Notepad or VTFEdit for this)

Remove this:

"Patch"
{
include "materials/models/shared/swords.vmt"
insert


Replace "Patch" with "VertexLitGeneric" and that should fix. Reason it doesn't work well is due to a missing shared vmt that the sword vmt searches for. Hope this helps a little bit.

i installed blade symphony dlc but still got a wireframe model what's wrong

now I want to play Katana Zero

I mean, he did say it was forged an age ago.
They probably didn't know how to make materials.

could you try porting character models from the game? They look very cool and I haven't a clue how to port them myself.

Ruby Rose: Now THAT'S a Katana!

where can I find it?

If its white for some people try installing the Blade Symphony content DLC for SFM. Its free so you should have no problems.

Best wireframe swords

Soo... all it is is a wireframe.

For me it's white! D:

Fantastic work. Thank-you.

thx a lot dude!

Hi! Maybe you forgot to import texture on it? I only can see white wireframe.And the .mdl only white wireframe used texture yes or not.

I am with Episoder on this to be honest. Uploading stuff to the workshop is for universal purposes, not for singular universes ect. It needs to be made usable universally or not uploaded to the SFM workshop.

@fug4life i get that universe thingy, but... bs... it's not about where this is from. you put this here in the sfm workshop... and it's not really "usable" with it like that... or really hard to make look good. it could be easier. :)

@ Episoder, the bones are designed for use with Blade Symphony content. And animations are compiled into the Blade Symphony characters for sheathing and un-sheathing.

Need to read the tags at the top: Universe = Blade Symphony.

I'll look into the issues, get back to you tomorrow.

I like this in the pictures, however opening it in SFM it is just pure white wireframe, I see you said "follow steps in description" however there are no steps to follow for this. I do not have any other Blade Symphony content. Help would be appreciated :)

ohh... a katana. (and it's still just "sword" in japanese)

nice. but... not done yet. it's patch materials? cool for the presentation in mdlviewer would be: the center correct. it's off. and you gotta rotate it. like one hands it over. that's style. and it's a proper rotation axis to look at it and make a cut. not like an axe or kendo. it could have more details on the grip. a lil less on the guard. sheath on it with a switchable bodygroup and a seperate bone. and it's a sfm showpiece. for animation in sfm and proper presentation you need to have a release and sheath animation with their bones coupled. and some attachments for hands for rigging. and the sword tip for the rotation to get it to sheath. you know ?!? ;)

could you finalize it? would be cool. :)

I would totaly need a nabitsura kage from shadow warrior for a saxxy ;D

you should make nabitsura kage lol

I think I may have a solution to the problem, I've left some steps to follow in the description
that will hopefully fix any issues.

Thank you very much. Sorry about the problem thing.

I think its because the collision model did not get uploaded for some reason. I'll try fix before this time tomorrow.

I'll take a look, see what the problem is.

Whenever I load the model it gives me the barebone wires thing. You know where its just a bunch of white lines... Whats the problem here and how ca I fix it?

That looks freaking cool

i second what celestial fox says

bring us more well crafted swords!

aah then this is quite cool

It isn't in the dlc, it is from my Blade Symphony Workshop

is this already in the blade symphony dlc
or is it a reskin of an existing thing
or....

neat, a nice HD katana for me to use!

i'll probably use it in something warframe related :V
