Weapon

The Weapon picker adds a weapon to an image or a video. You choose one weapon from its catalog, such as a katana, a longbow, a flintlock pistol, a blaster or a magic staff. Nodaro adds the weapon and a short description of its form to the prompt of every node you connect it to. The picker never calls a model, so it costs no credits.

When to use it

• Action sequences and combat staging.
• Period drama: medieval knights, samurai or the Wild West.
• Fantasy and sci-fi character design.
• Game cinematics and promotional art.

How to use it

Settings

To see the exact words the picker will add, switch the node to the Prompt or Both display mode. The settings panel shows the same text under Will inject into prompt.

What it adds to the prompt

In Full mode, the picker writes "with a", the weapon's name and one sentence about its shape and details. The descriptions focus on form and silhouette and avoid gratuitous detail. For Katana it adds:

with a katana, Japanese katana with a single-edged gently curved blade, wrapped rayskin handle, disc-shaped tsuba guard and a polished mirror finish

In Compact mode, it adds only katana. Use Compact when your prompt already describes the weapon, or when many pickers feed one node.

Every weapon

The catalog has 12 groups: Swords, Daggers & Knives, Axes, Polearms, Bows & Crossbows, Blunt & Impact, Throwing, Firearms (Modern), Firearms (Historical), Explosives & Siege, Sci-Fi and Fantasy. Search it or filter it by group. The words under each name are the term the picker adds in Compact mode.

Tips

• Stage the fight. Pair the picker with Pose, for example Fighting Stance, and with Person for the fighter.
• Match the weapon to its period. Add Era / Period, for example Medieval with a longsword or Wild West with a revolver.
• Show wear and history. Use Custom text (before), for example battle-worn.
• Use Held Prop for everything else. For a phone, a book or a bouquet, use Held Prop.
