Sorry for the time off:

Spoiler: Bill

Very nice, is the bottom part of the blade historically like that? I liked the bottom part from your first model better.

Merci beaucoup! I am experiencing a small problem with the materials. Ingame the brick texture appears like this (the elephants and the concrete are not complete  )

Spoiler

The black lines are flickering as i move around.
I have it set to bump_static shader, with that normal map and the diffuse A texture in dxt1 compression form.
Specular rgb at 0
Render order at -8
What am i doing wrong?

The channels on that normal map are wrong.  Link me a texture you're going to use I can try to make you one that won't glow like mad.  I forget which channels are swapped but one of them is 'shininess' it's not like a 'normal' normal map.

Ok, let me choose one of those textures for the bricks and i will send you the bunch of em that i am using.

The bricks are too small. Make it bigger and it will be better. Kuauik, these two textures you suggested will be awful in game

That solved it, but now the bricks seem too big. Could you post a screenshot of the theodosian walls, to compare the brick size.

Hey, Al-Mansur, I noticed the strange shadow in the borders. The walls probably need some sharp edges.

Thanks guys. Cesar, these screenshots are old, there were many issues with the materials and therefore a lot of strange shadows (that I tried to hide in these screens ). Now it is fixed.

I've made my homework. I think.

New sword for Islamic West, especially Maghreb:

Spoiler

Early jineta espada must looked like that.

I've also adjusted the turban named wrongly "berber turban". It looks better now:

And I have made a heavier and probably more accurate version of the adarga (thanks to kuauik texture):

Al Mansur you're awesome, that's it.

Ok, finished Hagia Sophia scene prop! Well almost, still have to finish the door, courtyard and some windows. But yeah this is somewhat it. The lighting is horrible in blender, so some of those hard edges wont be noticeable ingame, and i am hoping the others might blend in with the texture.

Hagia Sophia - 876 triangles
