Just finished a complement of six sheaths for falchions:

This is the best I can do in a 1024x1024 texture map that also has 16 round shields of 256 pixel diameter and the falchions and the spears and the archery gear.
I hope most players will find it satisfactory.

Maybe the last 2 ones are a bit too pixelated (compared to the first ones). But it is probably not really noticeable in game, so good work

True.
The CA format for textures is based on the dds format which blurs things a bit, so I'm hoping it won't show.
If it does show, I'll see if I can do something else.

As it occurred to me that the urban militia crossbowmen and the "retainer" crossbowmen (salaried regular troops) will be using the same model I thought it would be good to make some differences in their textures.
I worked those out yesterday and here I am presenting the gambesons of all the urban militia troops.
Of the six different slots for gambesons in the diff texture map, two will be common with the feudal troops.

Below, the first six from the left are for Aragon (slots 1 to 6 are positioned in the texture map as they appear in the image) and the other two are for Denmark (slots 3 and 4).

Spoiler Alert, click show to read:

Here I show slots 1-3 for Castile-&-Leon, slot 3 for Genoa, slots 3 and 4 for HRE and slots 3 and 4 for Kingdom of Jerusalem/Crusader States.

Here are slots 1-4 for England, followed by slots 1-4 for France.

Spoiler Alert, click show to read:

Here is slot 3 for Norway, slots 1-4 for Portugal, slots 3 and 4 for Rebels (the black lion) and slot 3 for Papal States.

Spoiler Alert, click show to read:

Finally, slot 3 for Scotland, slots 1, 3 and 4 for De Hauteville Sicily, slots 1-3 for the Teutonic Order militias and slot 3 for Venice.

So, all in all, the mentioned factions will have three gambesons in gray/crem/"dirty white" with insignia and three gambesons "in-colors", without insignia for their urban militias.

My only comments is about the factions symbols: they look like they have been dyed in the mass. The distinctive mark was a piece of fabric sewn on the main clothe (the gabeson in the present case)

I know.
It seemed simpler the way I did it.
I may do something about it in the future.

I may have not posted any new stuff for a few days but the works have not stopped.
I am currently working on the accessories.
The belt and buckle in the image below are fully 3D.

This update took me some time as it is always more work than usual to create new parts of a model, new textures to go with them, re-arrange the texture map layout to make room for the new textures and adjust the UV mapping so that the rest of the model keeps looking as it did before.

The belts are complete, with textures including normals and glossiness and I made a change in the textures of the sleeves:
The sleeves are no longer UV mapped on the hose textures, now they are UV mapped in the tunic textures.
See and let me know how they compare with before.

Just one thing: the scabbard is too shifted to the left on the 1st one (it's a falshion right ? If it's a sword, it's even worst)
Otherwise looks nice

I know what you mean but I made the sheaths to fit the blades:

The latest version of the passive falchions and their scabbards:

Next, I'll be trying them in-game.
I hope they look right, otherwise I will need to make more changes in the textures and UV maps and I am getting bored of working on the same model for so long.
