I'd start by getting a bunch of freebie weapons from somewhere like the Junkyard and seeing how they work.

You would need to build a prim knife, attach it to your hand, and optionly script it so it can be used to wave about and stab people (instead of just being stuck to you.)

If it's made of prims, it's 3D.

Can you be a bit more specific?

Cody, first go to the Ivory Library or Dreams. They both have first rate tutorials on how to build. Then, once you've gotten the hang of basic building, look for Robin Wood's tutorial on textures.

There are great builders who frequent Cordova, Goguen, Newcombe, the Morris building areas, Sanbox Island, etc. Be polite, and ask them for help if you get stuck, must folks are happy to help.
