The sword is based on Petersen type K / Wheeler IV hilt.
The chest is loosely based on Oseberg sea chest, usable both as storage container and a sturdy chair.
Sword has 4000 tris, while the chest and stand combined have 8000 (not counting procedural rope handles)
The sword stand is the only piece with no real-life counterpart. It is more likely that swords were hung on walls in their scabbards or kept in closed containers.
Texture breakdown. Sword has 2K PBR textures, whereas the chest has 4K to even out the texel density.
"Rarely used and well kept, this plain yet treasured sword has endured the test of time."
This project started out as a test platform for new Substance Painter version. The render turned out nicer than expected, so I replaced the original asset store chest and sword stands with custom period-accurate ones. Although made for testing purposes, both assets are optimized for real-time use - provided the render textures are first re-exported at lower resolution.
