Made a Kataphract Byzantine helm with a mail hood.

Was planning to make lamaller+Paramerion but I'am taking a break from modelling/texturing.

Enjoy then. Perhaps I'll try making some brimmed helms and that lamaller armor whenever I want to start making models again.

Looks kinda tiny. Must be real snug. Looks nice, though.

I do wonder what kind of mail texture you are using, though, it's certainly not a native one.

Well, it is a modified chain texture Fedeita sent me. I made the chains smaller and tiled and voila.
Honestly, it does look a little weird on the helm but it looks good.
I made it originally for body armors.

Yeah, I suppose it doesn't look bad, but I prefer bigger links.

Your comment makes sense. It was my fault for not resizing the mail so it isn't so small.

Size isn't everything.

No problem with chain texture if you ask me, but my head is out- nose and chin. Maybe I will scale it in wings, that is allowed?

Try it . TBH, helm scaling is messed up sometimes in M&B.

Yeah, I noticed that. And that great helmet-faceplate thing used by Rhodoks has the eye slit a bit beneath the eyes.

And also I noticed that there is no lods for 1064 faced helm.

Atm, nope. I'll eventually download Milkshape and make lods though.

Edit: Milkshape wants a registration code. Looks like I need to find an LoD tutorial.

Eh. You can download meshlab- it is free, or maybe you dont have to, I already have lod1 (for 1.011) which has 324 faces and later I will create lod2 with 10 and less faces, maybe 8.
EDIT: Yeah, 8 faces for lod2.

That's a little extreme. Ok, I found meshlab and made lods with the program.

It is for 1.011, I maybe create one with more faces for lod1 and rename existing lod1 to lod2 and so on. But before I do anything I will wait to see your lods. If you want I can upload my lods somewhere and send you pm with link, so you can see them.
