Historical Praetorian Helmet

Description
This is a historical Praetorian helmet that i modelled from a stone relief and historical replica that was made. I used some existing models provided by CA in Rome 2 couple with new assets I modelled myself. The textures are my own work mixed with CA textures. I am currently working on a Roman Overhaul mod "Roma Reformata" that will forever change the Romans in Rome 2 and as it is new years day 2017 I thought I would release the new Praetorian helmet as a taster for what is to come in 2017.

Changes:
- Brand new textures based off the italian italic base texture and the Praetorian helmet etching is my own personal work.
- Newly modelled Praetorian helmet from assets released in Total War: Rome 2.
- Praetorians and Praetorian Guard variantmeshes edited to use new helmet.

I hope you all enjoy my work and look forward to hearing from you all.

Fixes 01.01.2017
As this helmet has done really well in such a short space of time I've applied a few tiny fixes.
- Texture map balances now the metal looks more brass coloured as it would have been.
- This is a big one....alot of people have been asking me to fix the roman_coolus model so the heads stop clipping through the back of it....well as a thank you i have done just this and the roman_coolus model (which really should be named Galea) is now fixed...no more roman heads clipping through the back!


"Do not use my models or textures in any other mod without my permission, thank you."

Roma Reformata is a way off, i need to learn complex rigging in 3ds to finish it, but the good news is a large majority of the models are finished they just need rigging. Also the .packfile for the mod is almost populated with what needs editing. I will add bits and pieces to this mod such as other helmets and fixes as time goes on.

Sounds awesome man, keep up the great work. You should post new things that you're doing on TW Modder Agora in the discord showcase channel so we can see what you're working on.

Hello all, Ive been hard at work overhauling this mod and wanted to show you how it is progressing.

The variantmeshes that make up the unit are being editied so preatorians will look more like they would in battle and officer helmets are almost completed. The crest will be for officers.

Ive added a new image showing the imperial preatorian centurion helmet. but it is still a WIP. i have used image projecting as part of the texture generation and a few new modelling techniques.

Have a good day all,

Hloeric

Hi All,

Thanks for still using this mod. i had started work again on my Roma Reformata mod and noticed this mod still has quite a bit of traffic.

Maggioriano is right, and this has been fixed in Roma Reformata. This mod was made years ago when i was just learning variantmeshdefinitions. Since then i have new modelling techniques, normal map generation techniques, variantmesh writings etc.

But i will have a look and fix the mod.

Thanks again,

Hloeric

I'm really tired. How many times I must write that CREST ON ROMAN HELMETS WAS ONLY FOR OFFICER! FOR OPTIUS, CENTURIONS, TRIBUNUS, LEGATUS. NO TO ALL SOLDIERS!
