Easy way of how to tell: Have your best friend hack at you with a sword while wearing armor in question. If you are still alive, congratulations! It works fine. If you instead find that you are dead, the armor did not work as intended, and you should immediately demand a refund.

I'm pretty sure that it would be easier to make a semi-decent brigandine yourself, with limited tools and expertise. You need leather, steel and some tools for cutting and rivetting (brass will do). If it came to sculpt a breastplate yourself and heat-treat it, then most would have to give up. Honestly, it something that would be tempting to give it a try. However, for a good quality brigandine, you would need to shape the plates, which would allow you to use bigger plates, while keeping a good fit.

+MrVvulf: Cant agree enough with this. Both Tobias Capwell and Ian LaSpina are far more knowledgeable on the subject.

If you're doing 11th-13th Century I'd strongly recommend getting a good nasal helmet, you can see, hear and breathe much better than in a great helm, even if it isn't fitted to you, and you can use it for the whole period while great helms changed significantly (no full-faces at all before the 12th, backplates before the mid-13th, change in shape over the course of the 14th).

As someone who is very familiar with game animations and character modeling... metal armor bending and twisting is due to one reason. Money. It is more expensive to rig plate armor to animations made for the body naked/clothed body than it is to just rig it the same as a naked/clothed body. Character models/armor/clothing are all done the same way and all use the same animations. There is a "skeleton" they are vertice weighted to and the skeleton has bones. These skeletons and bones are generic representations of our real skeletons. Lets take a breastplate for example... or the torso of a person. You will have a pelvis bone where your pelvis is then 2-3 or more spine bones that connect to a neck bone So for example you have Pelvis_01 as the center point for your skeleton and it is In the center of the character models pelvis. Above that is Spine_01, on the character model it is around belly button high. For the character model and rigging generically the vertices directly between those two bones should be weighted equally to both of them and the vertices closer to a bone should be weighted more towards that bone. So if Spine_01 and Pelvis_01 twisted in opposite directions equally the model will deform accordingly with the vertices weighted to each equally not moving and the ones weighted more for one bone following that bone more. Add 2 more spine bones to the skeleton and rig the basic character model to it and you can get the bending and twisting one sees in a game. For armor though it would need to be weighted to just one spine bone for the whole piece and that my friends is going to create clipping if the animation is to look natural or all unique animations to prevent clipping. So choice here, either all new animations for armor or magic bendy metal? Clipping is unacceptable because it would be at every single joint and making the models so that isn't an issue requires more time and testing each animation, new animations for armor are not exactly cheap, Fem Shep in Mass Effect 3 had the same running animation as Male Shep and both of them used armored running animations even if you were running about on the Citadel in civilian clothes. Animations are expensive to create and AAA titles will reuse animations in the hopes that nobody notices. Bendy metal or spend hours adjusting a model to not be bendy or pay for new animations? Bendy metal all the way because it is the cheapest choice and most game players either don't notice or they expect it and accept it.

@TheWampam

7 жыл бұрын

It is not making double animations but that you would have to make a complete collision/physic model to get armour without either clipping or bending. Mass Effect has those weird stiff animations many people dislike to hide it, while other games use ridiculously thick armour to hide clipping somehow.

The physics/collision model is usually part of the skeleton with rare cases for unusual shaped items like wings or oversized pauldrons used by just one armor. The full skeleton is also usually separate from the model and used together when loaded in the game. As for Skyrims plate armor they rigged it just like the nude body model just the same as they did for all armor and clothing. I believe they used a Skin Wrap modifier in 3DS Max and cleaned up any clipping after. That skeleton has 3 spine bones and a pelvis that all effect twisting and bending of the torso and they are weighted to all 4 bones rather than skip the middle spine bone so twisting and bending is less dramatic and the most would be at the belt on the model.

The best thing about buying maille that's too big is that if you're handy you can tailor it to the shape of your body like the real thing would be. You can tailor something smaller, but it's really hard to make it bigger, plus you'll have some bits left over you might be able to use or put aside for repairs.

Every time I watch one of your videos, it puts a smile on my face!

I'm a budding collector of 15th and 16th century European armour, and videos like this are very useful. I can't afford the best stuff around, being on a shoestring budget and all, but knowing what to look for means I know what sort of shapes, patterns and materials. I currently own a 15th century armet helmet, made by Windlass. I love it and it, thankfully, fits me perfectly. But it's worth mentioning that a friend of mine tried it on and found his head was too big for it, so I struck lucky there. My next investment is a pair of gauntlets (15th century gothic articulated with plated fingers and a few personal modifications) but this time I'm having them made custom by an armourer and fitted to my exact measurements. Had to measure every single joint of my fingers! (Both circumference and length!) I'll be purchasing a cuirass after that, again from a custom armourer. Some advice for people like me: You can get custom tailored plate at lower prices if you go for mild steel and thinner gauges, as opposed to stainless steel or tool steel. My helmet is 18 gauge mild steel and was fairly cheap for the kind of helmet it is. Just be aware that these will, of course, compromise functionality, so keep in mind what you want to use the armour for! Great video by the way, Metatron.

Indeed impressive information, the editing is top notch too!

"Always have to oil your armor after each use" *chuckles in corazzina*

I love those spontaneous into-camera transitions, it makes the video even more entertaining

Great point about daily maintenance of armour and equipment. I feel this is something most people overlook or forget about.

I heard the dome on the belly is also to have a cushion of air. So that when you're hit in the belly, the armor has space to bend and push back before it hits your belly. So in a way, your whole armor is pushing back against the attack, instead of just he part where you're hit.

thanks for uploading all of these videos on armour, planning on buying some for my own

Great video I'm so happy your channel is growing at such a rapid rate

Thanks mate! Love your vids

Thank you for this. Very informative for us newbies.

Just found your channel, absolutely love it. Thank you.

Segmentata was really some brilliant stuff. The Romans stumbled into mass produced steel armor in an age of largely iron armor, the outside of the bands was turned into steel from heat treatment while the inside of the bands was made up of softer iron. This allowed them to flex more and absorb blows. Shame logistics kneecapped its production and prevent it from spreading.

Good video Metatron. Warriors of all eras had to maintain their equipment, even the modern war fighter. I suspect the soldiers of the future will have to do the same. Love your videos. Keep it up

Mail without padding doesn't protect you much against penetration, btw. The gambeson was the main thing that made a suit of mail near-impervious to arrows. War bows at the time could sometimes penetrate the mail, but not the gambeson. Without the gambeson, the arrows that the mail did stop could just drag your mail into your own skin. The wound would be less likely to be lethal, but you'll still bleed and risk infection.

Excellent work on the piano a talent worth sharing Never stop playing it will do something to ur soul

This was quite a great video.

Properly tailored mail with historically accurate rings/patterns can actually be FAR MORE expensive than a suit of plate armor. When getting into re-enactment or historic interpretation, start with soft kit, and ignore everything else. If it's made out of the proper materials/hand sewing/no cut corners, it's still going to be EXTREMELY PRICEY. Save up for hard kit later.

Great video as always. One question: How did greek hoplites and the like deal with the bending mobility problem? As far as I've seen in museums and depictions both the bronze bell cuirasses and the classic muscle cuirass end mostly on the hips or even below the belt and both tend to follow the V-line...

You won me over with your appreciation for classical music!!!!

Hey Metatron, I watch a lot of your videos and this is one of my more favorite ones due to how it applies to ill fitting armor and the ramifications of such, but I haven't seen one about the Gorget and how a proper gorget should fit. Would you take that question on?

awesome video as always but have you ever thought about doing a video comparing the mobility and other factors between modern armor (like military and police use) versus knight or medieval or roman armor?

good lead into a video on properly maintaining armour & weapons ? I remember my brother 1st getting into collecting swords had no idea, oc there are many videos on the subject but I doubt another would hurt & it can be an interesting subject in its own right imo.

You can also use a microcrystalline wax like renaissance wax. I try to get 14 or 16 gauge mild steel that's been tempered and heat treated. Springsteel is the best in my opinion but armorers will charge an arm and a leg for using that kind of steel. Look at places like Steel Mastery or ArmorySmith for some really high quality custom reproductions that are also HMB ready. But always make sure you start with a proper gambeson. It's absolutely vital for the comfort and fit of your armor. A quality set with all the items needed. Including the chausses, belt, sword, shield, pouches, rondel, gloves, shoes. Everything, usually will run around $3500.00 to $5000.00 for a quality set.

a video on a coat of plates, from fit & build to usage? possibly comparison to modern body armor?

Wanted to like a second time after your comment about maintenance being an integral part of the re-enactment. Plus, armor is a sizable investment; it only makes sense to give it due care.

Great video overall, but on the topic of 15th century armour being completely bare, I've heard from a few sources that painting armour was very common in the 15th century due to paint residue being found under rivets and such like on archeological finds, it would make sense for telling friend from foe and also I am a reenactor myself and I'm planning on making paints/dyes as an "in character" trade. Do you think there is any credence to the painting theory? Cheers.

wow those piano skills caught me off guard, awesome.

Music break! :D Greak video, as always.

"[Armour maintenance] was imperative." That's some really strong Latin pun voodoo there.

Ease of maintenance is, in my eyes, the biggest advantage mail has over plate (and hamata over segmentata). Mail just maintaines itself with use, and damage can easily be rapaired with spare rings (or even some wire in emergencies). That and, well, mail is usually a lot easier and quicker to put on. If I was t re-acquire my current armor kit from zero, I´d definitely go for mail instead of the partial plate I have now.

Any thoughts on the historical likelihood and prevalence of glued linen armor, so-called "Linothorax"? And if used, what advantages and disadvantages compared to the same number of sewed together layers?

Hey, as a follow up to this, could you do a video of buying good armor? Maybe use a 11th century suit, and a 15th century suit for comparison and show how you would go about buying either and what would be a good price?

also you should do a most practical armor in a SHTF situation. i know you did it for historical armors but did you consider modern body armor and if not does it change your perspective at all. i love marital arts and the history behind it all so i collect weapons and armor.

A suit is a suit. Whether it is made from fabric or steel, tailoring is the difference between a fine suit or a horse blanket, and suit of armour or an iron maiden. The only difference between armourer and a bespoke tailor is the medium in which they work.

I still have tons of questions, your explanations are always clear and detailed, but I'm not looking for historical reenactment, I want fantasy stuff that still can be defined as serious working armor, I don't look for something big, but still it's hard to find discussions and videos on this and I'm getting demoralised

I always wondered how the Roman general muscled torax works. If you look at Augus statue, for example, his armor goes all the way down to his belly. Maybe it's because the Roman emperoe doesn't need to bend:)

The armor at 2:27 belongs to Tobias Capwell (Sides) and Ian LaSpina (Center) respectively.

Ok so you do armor stuff, I do have a question involving shields if you think you can handle it. The celtic styled shields (oval) were what the romans based the Scotum on, but there is one celt shield that has like...half circles cut out around the boss. Any idea why they did that?

Probably to allow the weapon hand, sword or spear to be thrust more centrally, without having to go around the widest part of the shield.

Bro, that piano playing was amazing
