Crest

[WerewolfWarrior]

I was besides my idea of walls to protect the buildings outside of the castle. I was thinking of a particular insignia stand where the person can create a insignia for his castle and for the guards shield so that way....you wont see Bruma Guard Shields.

 

Shape of shield: (if your doing shields)

 

-Circle

-Diamond

-Oval

-Daedra Shield style

and so on.

 

logo for shield:(goes for the banner as well)

 

-Dragon

-Wolf

-Swords n' Shield

-Bulls head

-Crucifix

and so on

 

Shape of Banner:(the logo will go on it when you add the logo to the shield, and can be changeable)

-Scrolls like

-Diamond shape

-Half Oval

and so on.

 

makes since to me if the owner gets a castle of his or her own castle.

 

if you agree with me, and/or have a complement regarding this please reply to this post.

If I have the UV mapped meshes I'll be able to do the textures.

 

Circle - Iron Shield

Oval - Bruma

Daedric - those are kinda special , and it might look weird with crests on them.

Diamond - have no idea.

You originally placed it under the Nexus site feedback forum and I moved it to the correct "Oblivion Modification Requests" forum this morning and left a link to it from there to here.

 

Diamond - have no idea.

Perhaps shields shaped like this is what the OP is referring to:

@LHammonds :

 

Diamond - have no idea.

Heh , sorry for misunderstanding , with "I have no idea" i wanted to say that i don't know any mesh with that shape "biggrin"

 

The shields above exist (.blend/nif file ) ?

[TheCalliton]

the heater sheild looks more like a kite then your kite sheild does

but cool shapes

No. The shapes are purely to help people put names to basic shield shapes.

I will agree that the heater shield's dimensions are a bit off from a so-called standard but they serve the purpose for giving names to basic shield shapes...which makes it easier to find references on the Internet of real shields. The shape of the Kite however is true-to-form. It is believed to have started off as a round shield and "pulled" down to help protect the legs...just as depicted.

 

EDIT: Kites may be straight-edged or curved on the sides / bottom.

 

Kite Reference 1 (Norman)

Kite Reference 2 (Norman)

Kite Reference 3 (Norman)

Kite Reference 4 (Viking)

Kite Reference 5 (Viking + Boss)

Kite Reference 6 (Late 12th Century)

Kite Reference 7 (Norman)

Well I thought of this idea because i noticed that the people guarding Castle Highrock had the Bruma shields, and i thought "wait a minute somethings not right, they shouldn't being having bruma shields, hmmmmm I should put up a suggestion/idea on the TESNexus forums."
