I'll be posting some Norse patterns in the days to come.
This is a Jarls's shield, well at least how I imagine it...

Something more, the design isn't mine but I did "transfer" it to a "woody" texture and added the rest:

Next compilation is themed after one of the "Nordic compasses":

First time I'm showcasing my stitched leather rim texture and I have a rather handsome normal map for this one too:

The same basic pattern with minor tweaks, also with riveted rims, metal and leather:

This was inspired by the pattern on a re-enactor's shield:

Great work! This style is close to IRL looking things, too many mods avoid it and use glamorous bright and coloured shields without scratches and scars. It would be perfect if you'll release some dummy wooden shields of those just painted without prints!

Sure, cheers!

Some good news, I have resumed work on my second tier troops for catholic factions, such as light sergeants and urban militias, the ones that start with padded gambesons and upgrade to light mail.
Since the bodies were not identical to the bodies of peasants, the attachments required re-positioning.

This is a presentation of the canteens/flasks:

Let me know what you think.

These are the passive quillon daggers that will be sported by the next tier of troops that I am working on.

The meshes are rudimentary but since the items are going to be quite small, I reckon it won't make a difference.

And here are the new belt purses, both meshes and most of the textures have been reworked:

Comments are welcome.

Nice work on the purses.
The daggers, especially the metallic bits, are looking a bit flat, maybe paint some shading in the diffuse texture.

[paleologos]

Thank you.
I know about the daggers but there was no space left in the texture maps for dagger-dedicated textures so I had to UV-map them on textures that are used for other items.
I still have not seen them in-game to be honest.
We may yet be surprised, if not I'll see if I can do something else but at this point I am left with near zero alternatives.

[xHolyCrusader]

I see, perhaps increasing texture resolution for some extra space is an option?

[paleologos]

Well, there is really limited space left in the attachments map and no space left in the figure map.
Take a look at this (the white parts are the available space):

Maybe I can squeeze a few things in there but you shouldn't expect to see them clearly in-game anyway as daggers are actually really small.

[xHolyCrusader]

Wow, thats a lot of shield variations! I doubt anyone would notice if you removed one or two But yeah, what I meant is you currently have a 1024x1024 texture, if you increase that to 2048x2048 you have plenty of space to either add some new stuff and make individual elements like the shields bigger or you could combine the textures of 2-3 units into an atlas like this:

The engine handles higher texture resolutions just fine and modern gpus have more than enough video memory. It's just a suggestion though. As you say, the daggers are really quite small so it might not be worth the hassle in this case.
