NOW THE BLADES SHINE! ALL CREDITS TO NAYEFK93 FOR HIS GREAT HELP WITH NORMAL MAPS (nayefk93 mods: http://www.nexusmods.com/witcher3/users/28081145/?tb=mods&pUp=1) if you want a advice...go see these mods: this guy is absolutely a master :) thank you nayefk93!

2.0 RELEASED: Weapons model and textures fixed:
Sihil: removed the black area and fixed the handle
Aerondight: removed the red details and fixed the model
Vran: better textures and emerald effect
Fate: better textures
Added new icons and scabbards (remember to install both files which are contained in the rar file) in the modIcon..the mod also contains the icons for dark weapons...but it modifies the xml files, so it could create conflicts with other mods that modifie the same files (script merger should resolve the problems) :) ...have fun! ;)

I managed to bring back some iconic weapons from the witcher 2 and witcher 1: I was disappointed to see that in the Witcher 3 there was no sign of the Mahakaman Sihil or Aerondight (since it was transformed into "Maugrim" o.O)...so I reimported the models from witcher 2 to replace the actual models in the game: Aerondight replaces Maugrim and Gvalchir (Mahakaman Sihil) replaces Dwarven Blade...I also managed to import the original "Forgotten Vran Sword", which had a very unique aspect, and was one of the most baddas weapon in witcher 2 (when use this sword remember to hide the scabbard with AMM, since it has a particular shape that prevent the use of a scabbard)...this is a very primitive mod: I'm not an expert, and I'm asking your help to improve these swords: I have no idea how to add the metal effect to the swords, which is now totally absent...I worked a little bit on normal maps, but I have neither the tools nor the skills right now to make something good...and I also would need someone who is good with textures to improve the original ones...if anyone is able to do so I will be glad to send him/her the files and will give total permission to use them as he/she wants :) if anyone is interested send me a message here on nexus with an email to which I could send the files :)


All models and textures are properties of CDproject RED!


UPDATE: now there is a new weapon, "Fate" (see it in image section), and I also uploaded a new file which changes the scabbard of Aerondight and remove the one of Vran sword, so now AMM is no longer required: http://www.nexusmods.com/witcher3/mods/1249/?  
note: this mod also changes some icons, since it was an already existing mod for dark weapons, so it is better used with the dark weapons mod from nayefk93...read the description for more details :)

UPDATE: hopefully soon I'll upload the 2.0 version of this mod...thanks to nayefk93, who fixed the normal maps on the blades :) I also managed to improve some models and to remove that black spot on Sihil...all is left to do is to make new icons and to fix the last details :)
