Ultimate Modular Swords Setup Guide

Product Overview

This product is a resource pack that allows users to create their own original swords by combining the three parts that make up a sword: the blade, guard, and grip, using the "subgraphic" function of the 3D Stamp. Particle effects and decals can be used in combination to create even more attractive swords.

Select the folder name “GENERAL”.
Select the 3D stamp “ums-empty-cube” and copy it to the folder created in “1”. At this time, please add it with another ID.

Click “Add” on the “Subgraphics” list screen.
Click on “Subgraphic” added to the list to display the subgraphic properties.
You can rename it by clicking on the name of the listing again. Here it is changed to “BLADE”.
Click on the empty field in the “Subgraphic” properties to display the Asset Picker.
Go to “ULTMATE-MODULAR-SWORDS” > BLADE > “NORMAL” > in the asset list and select “ums-blade-01”. The blade is now set.
