I think the chest part is too flat/smooth

Noticed it, (I didn't extrude the chest armour too much otherwise it will loose the sense of medium armour).
Updated it,
What do u think of it now?

[Steinaech]

Looks better.

Well as you can see ive been living under a rock and i didn't notice the armour was allready been made so i might or might not continue on. Here are the new renders, i hope there good concepts. Its not textured but it will be soon, i have the textures ready so thats a :goodjob: to me.

Anyway... here they are

I think it's really good. Should be interesting to see how it looks with a texture.

What's the facecount for the individual armour pieces btw?

Poly Count:
Pauldrons+Spikes: 3,582 poly's
Cuirass: 2,376 poly's
Gauntlet (single): 1,570 poly's (double): 3,140
Helmet : 2,356 poly's (applied NURMS Mesh Smooth)
Greaves: 1,267 poly's
Boots: Pending
Total ATM: 12,721 poly's

Im not sure if this is a crazy amount. I mostly used cut and chamfer to make the model smooth without the using the NURMS modifierto much. Mostly i try to avoid useing it because this is just for the games. But, for high quality renders i rekon its the best choice.

This is really looking good, I cant wait to see it textured. Good work :goodjob:

Thank you,
Having troubles mapping due to many hidden mistakes. But sooner or later this model will be fully textured with tatts and hyrogliphes.

I rekon (personally) that this model has lost the "common guard" armour feeling that i was trying to achieve,dont you agree? I personally think that its a much higher rank of some sort because i totaly altered the way it looks. Im not sure where this armour will be placed if its even succeeds. Buuuuut, if it dosent this idea can allways be scratched :/

correct me if im wrong but i dont know squat about redoran history or any of the other houses but do the heads of a certain house have there own type of "special" guards? IF they do this armour could be for them.
