The sword itself is nice. But the player model/third person model feels really massive, more massive than the sword in 1st person. I also feel like the scabbar is too "flat"/no enough high quality textured compare to the sword :(
Does anyone remember this "Tons of shiny, flat, out-of-place-4k-high-poly-count-Historical Swords mods" crazy back in...2013-2015? Somewhere around that time. Yeah well anyways, as much as i liked the proposed designs, these weapons always had the same problem: Flat textures (no matter how high the resolution of the textures is, it will look flat and out of place without scratches, patters, dirt, diffuse maps?), extreme shinyness and a distinct look and feeling of out-of-placeness.
But this sword right here? That's a thing of beauty! It looks like it fits right into vanilla/aMidianBorn-LeanWolf-modded Skyrim!
Lowpoly and Highpoly were made in Blender. I then baked the textures in xNormal and added normal map details like the ornaments by hand in Quixel nDo. Lastly I created the texture base in Substance Painter and added finishing touches in Photoshop.
Keep in mind that this isn't really the best workflow. I cut out xNormal and nDo completely and use Substance Painter for baking. I also mostly use ZBrush for sculpting now.

Then it should be in the ebony category, so that it doesn't ruin progression.
Otherwise beautiful creation, about the same level as Jaysus Swords.

Do you know if this is compatible with Perkus Maximus?
