Definitely a factor lol As a student game dev I can look at a frogmouth and figure out how to make it out of two, maybe three surfaces, and you could even cheat the eye slit by making it only on the texture and using a solid mesh. Meanwhile something like an armet would take at least twice as many surfaces, and even a simple barbute makes it much more obvious if you use the solid mesh trick.

I imagine there was at least one cheeky lad who tossed their trash in through that visor hole.

It's also got a really angular and intimidating profile, which is great art design.

It's just attractive while also being intimidating, very effective

Loads of knightly crests were also adorned with this helmet. Due to its marking as a knight class status symbol, my own family crest is adored with them at the top with flourishes, due to the knighting of Senior Guillermo de Jimenez de la Alcalá by the Spanish kingdom of Aragon during the beginning of the Spanish inquisition, which the closeness of the Alcalá family to the Aragonian royal family would continue to the end of the inquisition giving the Alcalá family much reverence that is carried on today with Spanish colonized countries and in Spain itself. The crest itself featuring a castle tower, due to the meaning of the name and a greyhound due to our otherworldly stamina which is actually due to the fact that the family boasts a high number of individuals with type O blood, like myself with type O negative.

The 80's scifi show, Space Above and Beyond, the aliens wore a helmet very similar.

Judging by the comments. (Including mine.) You might need to do a video on the frog helmet... Because, all I got was, it was used primarily used in jousting tournaments because of the limited visibility. (And, I got that from Wikipedia.)

@jaxryz_380

11 ай бұрын

wasn't so much that it was used in jousting BECAUSE of limited visibility; it was specifically designed for jousting. Tilt your head down to have enough vision on the rideup, then right before you connect tilt your head back up and due to the shape of the helmet your head is pretty much completely protected. It was also often secured to the chestpiece of armor in order to prevent neck injury. These helmets were specifically and almost exclusively jousting equipment, because that's what they were made for

That brings up two questions: 1. It looks like it's a drowning hazard with that gaping hole... could a water balloon be a legit battle tactic against the helm? 2. I am still having a hard time picturing how you can see through the slit... do you mind sticking a camera up there to simulate how much visibility it gives?

Tilt your head down a bit. The helmet was designed for jousting tournaments. You only needed to see enough in front of you to guide your horse and aim your Lance at your opponent. And then just before impact you raise your head again. This now entirely covers your head with a solid screen of hardened steel plate armour maximizing your chances of survival if the Lance hits or breaks and splinters against your head. The helmet was also secured to the breastplate to prevent neck injuries.

surprisingly, because most families were not able to claim such a helmet for jousting activities: peasants were not eligible

Looks like it be less likely to catch any splinters from a shattered lance as well

Yeah three sentinels were so slender and tall giving that exaggerated noble vibe so this helmet was literally cherry on top of the design They kicked my ass many times Just like this helmet kicks ass And also the fact you got monetized again is something to cherish I wish you health wealth and wellbeing for you and your family good sir

You pointed up and said "in this case" to the Ruin Sentinels, they were the first thing I thought of when I saw that beast of a helmet.

'A Knight Tale' mentions tilting your head back at the last second to prevent lance splinters getting into your eyes. This helmet shows how quickly you can go from "great visibility for a full helm" to "eyes protected".

When you mentioned using it for boss designs I knew exactly who you were talking about

I can’t with the helmet modeling in the middle. Had me weak

You're right this helmet is everywhere. I looked out my window this morning and they're one was hahaha

Cataphractii terminators in Warhammer 40K use a helmet that reminds me a great deal of the frogmouth. A high, forward slanted faceplate ending in a slit in which the visor is contained. Plus, the neck is protected by a gigantic bevor. I’d love to see you tackle Warhammer 40K’s power armor designs and dissect them to tell us what medieval inspirations they took.

The biggest factor that made Frog mouth helmets so popular was their ability to shed lances. There were no visors or eye slits for blunted tips or splinters to catch. It's very design directs them away from the eyes. A knight could often slip a pretty painful if not deadly blow to the head. His aponent would still get points, but you lived through it to hopefully joust again. They were not a piece of war fighting armor, strictly for mounted jousting.

I legitimately shuttered when you showed the Dark Sentials... come in man, alittlewarningwouldabeenawesome.

The helmet designer was ahead of his time.

The protection of such a helmet against swords and spears is superb. A skilled enough worrior would be able to take short glances by leaning down briefly to see where the opponent is and how their posed or moving, so opportunities for an opponent to attack that opening would very scarce and small. As long as the rest of the suit of armor holds up, a knight would be a VERY hard target being that they are said to have been exilent swordsmen.

Showing the picture of the ruin sentinels made me realise they wore this helmet, never really noticed as i was too busy fighting them lol

I see that helmet and get flashbacks to fighting 3 lanky beyblades at once

When metatron looks at the helmet it is like seeing a father look at his son.

I think it's awesome that jousting back in the day is like Nascar today. Trying new attachments and gear to gain peak tournament (battle) performance. Reminds me of A Knights Tale, the movie.

probably the first analasys of armor in pop-culture that isn't: "this is so unrealistic and unhistoric and i hate it" really love to see it

I've always thought this kind of helmet looked ridiculous, but I never knew that they were popular.

I have always loved this design, at least since playing DS2. The Ruin Sentinel boss fight is pretty memorable, at least for me. And that armor design stuck with me, I guess.

I love when form follows function. Doesnt look like it has any unnecessary embellishment. Made for a job and it does just that.

Decorates my favorite assassin's Creed enemies. Love them heavies.

That's the reason why it's presented in so many standarts

Even after you put it on, I'm really struggling to visualize this huge thing sitting above your shoulders and still lining up correctly with your eyes.

Everybody gangsta til the slit helmet erupts fire like a gas stove and youre left to wonder what horrible creature the armor is protecting your eyes from

This thing was also used in World War One, and it was extremely effective. If soldiers on the modern battlefield didn't need visibility.

You made me fall in love with this design and the German with the helmet

I'm guessing the view from the inside is also pretty good for side to side field of vision. When in armored combat, you dont expect too many attacks coming from a lower angle.

It's also a basic Shape so it helps with poly count, even though that matters less now in the industry

You see it in Heraldry a lot too, it’s usually either this one, an Armet/Close Helmet or the Great Helm (with hinged visor or with fixed visor). My guess is that they imply the shape of the head but also cover it completely meaning it’s perfect for symbolism of a warrior.

The frog mouth helmet inspired the design of the antagonistic Chigs, in the sci-fi series Space Above and Beyond.

Well, at least here in Germany the frog mouth was actually more of symbol of city Patricians, as they jousted a lot more than knights did while knights usually did the Kolbenturnier/club tourney, for which there was a specific helmet that you very often find ok knightly heraldry of the time, at least more than the frog mouth

That thing could probably deflect bullets with how angular it is

Monty python and the black knight always comes to mind.

The ONLY time I’ve ever seen that thing in a game was in Chivalry 2 and I fell in love with it at first sight.

no one is talking about the ruin sentinels, so i will. nice job remembering the ruin sentinels.

This is an example of an item in the hands of someone who truly appreciates it. It's lovely to see, truly 🤍🗡️🐎🏰

It's also way easier to model in my opinion, so that's a plus

My favorite style of closed face helmet!

"The frogs are coming, get ready to shoot"

The design of this helmet is genius The low neck, sharp angles was perfect for deflecting a lance and the small eye slit would be difficult it get a lance into or anything else for that matter Though i can't imagine it would be easy to see

another reason is that its dramatically pointed shape is verry good for shape language character design

Anyone else remember the knights in Sleeping Beauty's opening song being kind of scary (and this helmet was why)?

Helmets like this are the reason Henry 5 was disfigured. No air...hardly any peripheral....he took it off in a battle because it was so impractical, like a lot of people did, and almost immediately stopped an arrow with his face.

Put a camera in to show a pov of what it’s like to have it on, I’m curious how much your vision gets obscured

It's shape is simple so a screen can be flooded with enemies and the game wont crash.

Bros head look like the front of the titanic with that helmet.

Also, design wise, it makes for a very good profile. You can see it from meters away and it's just instantly recognizable.

Love this helmet design. Been thinking of using it for a sci-fi armour design. 🤔

The image of the exaggerated helmets were the Ruin sentinels from dark souls 2.

I run this helmet on chivalry 2 agatha, the limited neck movement makes it look even more unique to me

🤣🤣🤣 Raf! I could watch this over and over again!

Will still never replace everyone's favorite bucket.

I've seen that helmet on a ton of family crests, shields, and flags and heraldry stuff

I love the frog mouth helmet and I don't think it gets enough love

I'm not the authority on knights helmets types in video games but I've literally never ever seen that kind of helmet in real life or games, it's pretty cool though

"I can't see shit in this thing" - Famous last words before disaster

I immediately thought of the ruin sentinels

Looks like the aliens from "Space: Above and Beyond"

This exact design (eye-slit only, no breaths) l would have totally guessed was only used for jousting (ie: sport), where the only threat was from the front and only being able to see a thin, horizontal slice of the world around them was fine, because they only had to point their lance at an opponent and charge.

It is also extremely common in heraldry, being considered the default helmet to a heraldic achievment

Also because medieval people obviously knew of the rule of cool, and this helmet is sick
