naginata in tr?

You're wrong again. Japaneese managed to attack with naginata with such speed you won't imagine. Spear BTW is not what you want to compare naginata with. Halberd is closer. And remember that Eastern and Western styles are much different. Also remember that Naginatas were wielded by Tsaesci and that Tsaesci are snake-men meaning they are much more agile that regular japaneese warrior.

The point is, that it is a fair bit slower than a sword or a normal spear, which was what he seemed to be implying.

it will be much more deadly than a spear.....i think it should be added to the game.....as a weapon made by the akavir.....since the game totally lacks polearms.....also better than halberds.....they are clumsy because of the frontal weigth the axe makes.

Umm, no, it will be faster that a spear if wielded by a professional. And swords...well...Western swords are slower. Katanas are quicker but you can't compare a sword and katana, can you ?

If the program you use can export to obj or any other format which Max can import it's not all that much of a problem.

So it's Maya you use ? If so - ask Zephyr. I think he managed to convert Maya-made weapon to 3D MAX file and than to NIF.
