Some more work done:

The tunic hem texture was originally done by Absinthia.
Anybody think I should be doing them without a mail coif, just helmets?

Depends on what kind of unit we're talking about here . Certainly the poorest of fighters would've had only a helmet .

Thank you for the contribution of opinion.
My inquiry is no longer of relevance as I decided and from the images in this thread and in the linked posts you can see that I went on to implement them with a maille coif that covers the shoulders.
The original question was due to some illustrations of warriors in helmet and haubergeon but without maille coif and other illustrations that showed warriors in padded armor without a haubergeon but with a maille coif and iron helmet.
First example:

Second example:

What weighted in on my decision is that the first example is of a 10th century heavy warrior (a knight), while the second example is of a 12th century medium warrior (a sergeant).
The models I am currently making are intended to be used for 12th century sergeants.

Looks good. Is this in the game as I could down load the mod or is it in game for you with special privileges?

[paleologos]

It is my next modelling work, currently still in progress.
When I finish it I will upload it on the site server for anyone who wants it and it will be included in the next version of Titanium.

Three more shields, those are for the Kingdom of Aragon:

Your constant efforts in modding brought your level to the highest one. There is no relativity between your early creations with these ones!
Congratulations.
Now the cloths, chain mails have not unnessesary pixel "details" and are smooth!
One last advice. Reduse the shine of the entirely metal helmets either by alpha chanel or -if you use black alpha chanel- in the textures them selvs.
Remember to create a "silver" chain mail for high society knights (black is iron, silver is steel).
CONGRATULATIONS AGAIN. Your work will remain in use for several years!

Well, thanks, it feels good to be appreciated.

I'm ahead of you in that.
It's just that I don't post everything new in this thread.

I don't know about that, it's going to take at least some experimentation since very small tweaks in the glossiness map can have enormous effects in-game.
Let us keep in mind that as the graphics engine of M2TW does not lend itself to Physically Based Rendering, it is altogether possible that the light that gets "reflected" off a metal surface may be more than the light that hits it originally.

First IG screenshots of the Normans of De Hauteville Sicily and with a full complement of all the types of gambeson textures.
I am still experimenting with the normal map intensity on some parts as you may be able to see.
I will soon post screenshots of the other factions as I finish more shield patterns.

AMAZING!!! what kind of lighting do you use?

[paleologos]

What do you mean by "lighting"?

[♔atthias♔]

What do you mean by "lighting"?

the units look very bright so I wonder if you had a specific kind of lighting to achieve that

[paleologos]

These are superficially processed images.
I increased a bit their brightness and their contrast and applied a 20% sharpen filter in GIMP.
