What a weapon costs

$5 for the first weapon in an order and $4 for every one after it, once — no subscription and no per-server fee. The first weapon on a new account is free. Checkout for weapon skins is not switched on in this shop yet; the studio and the whole library are open in the meantime.

ARTWORK

Putting artwork on Katana5

Only one of Katana5's 4 textures is large enough to carry artwork, which makes the decision easy: everything you add lands on that sheet, and the placement search has the whole of it to work with.

Its largest sheet is Wep_1stP_Katana_D at 2048×512 in D3DFMT_DXT5. That is the surface most of the melee body samples from, and it is where a decal reads biggest in game.

At 13,083 triangles it is a light model, which keeps it cheap to stream but means the flat-panel mask is coarser. Expect to nudge the placement by hand more often than on a high-poly rifle.

1 normal map is present, so surface detail — rivets, grooves, stippling — keeps reacting to light through whatever you paint on top. Artwork only ever touches the diffuse sheet.

Every texture on this model uses D3DFMT_DXT5, and each edited sheet is written back in that same format with its mip chain rebuilt to the original depth.

Knives, bats and katanas are the classic donator reward on a roleplay server, and a single blade texture is the fastest custom item you can ship.

TEXTURES

Texture manifest

Every texture this model references, read from its own dictionaries. Sheets marked paintable are the ones large enough for the placement search to use.

QUESTIONS

Questions about Katana5

Can I put my own logo on Katana5?
Yes. Upload a PNG and the studio loads this model's 13,083-triangle mesh, works out which triangles face the flat side of the melee, and places your artwork inside the largest calm area it can find on the real texture. You can then move, rotate or rescale it from there.
What do I get when I export Katana5?
A complete resource folder: the rebuilt texture dictionary, the untouched model files, a clean fxmanifest.lua, a transparent inventory image named after the item, and a ready-to-paste ox_inventory entry. The source pack is never modified.
How many textures does Katana5 have?
4, of which 1 is large enough to take artwork. The rest are normal maps, specular maps and small detail sheets that are copied through untouched.
Can I take Katana5 without changing anything?
Yes. The unmodified download packages it exactly as it ships — all 4 textures and 1 model file copied with nothing re-encoded and no artwork applied — and you still get a ready-to-drop resource with an fxmanifest, a README and inventory entries.
Does Katana5 work on QBCore and ESX?
Yes. The exported resource registers the weapon with the game engine itself, so it behaves the same on every framework. Only the inventory registration differs, and the item name and label stay the same wherever you paste them.
