Great texture, but I would suggest on pimpin' it out a little bit more. It resembles the chain hubrek too much. Add some swadian flavor, as mostly swadians use them.

You can actually add it to your mod quite easily, but you will need to use the Unofficial Editor:

Step 1: Download the Add-On and the Unofficial Editor.

Step 2: Ignore the Readme and install to the following directories:

-: Extract (*.brf) files to ../Module/YourMod/Resource/
-: Extract (*.dds) files to ../Module/YourMod/Textures/
-: Extract (*.txt) files to ../Module/YourMod/

Step 3: Open the module_info.txt for your mod and add the following lines after the last load:

load_module_resource = scale_shirt_texture
load_module_resource = scale_shirt_material
load_module_resource = scale_shirt

Step 4: Launch the Unofficial Editor and open your mod folder. Click View and go to Items.

Step 5: Scroll down until you see itm_scale_armor and click on it. Click on Meshes & Modifiers.

Step 6: Remove lamellar_cuirass and input scale_shirt.

Step 7: If that doesn't work, let me know.

It looks great! Thanks!

Thanks, I had a little spare time to play around with it.

Eventually, I would like to do a little more with it and add in some variations of the armor. We'll see what happens with it.

Very nice work.

Very nice work.

Thank you, kindly.

Was playing around with the hue of the scales:

Considering that scale armour was usually just iron scales rivetted to a short-sleeved canvas tunic, there is not exactly a lot of pimping you can do. Also scale is a low-end armour, so it would not normally be highly decorated. I think it looks fine, quite realistic.

Unless this is what you want.

Why is there a lady randomly wearing scale armour? And holding a bent spear tip? Movie?

I believe Aqtai was noting what we don't want scale armor to look like. I think just having that armor here diminishes this thread, though.

Sorry about that, I'll remove the picture.

I've just tried it out, not combat tested yet though:

And here is another real scale armour. Indian this time.

[Septa Scarabae]

That scale armor looks like foam or rubber.

It's an 18th century AD  Indian armour. Technically it's made from leather as it actually made from pangolin scales!
