DESCRIPTION

The ultimate battlefield titan of the Late Renaissance — an imposing, beautifully ornamented double-handed greatsword designed for elite shock troops.

This massive Bidenhänder (Zweihänder) is a museum-grade recreation of a South German greatsword from the late 16th century, circa 1580. Spanning an incredible 1845mm in length, it features a straight, diamond-section double-edged blade that maintains its intimidating width all the way to the tip. Equipped with prominent parrying hooks (parierhaken), a powerful ricasso with authentic leather-wrapped remnants, and an exquisitely forward-curved guard adorned with decorative scrollwork (snails), dual side rings containing elegant heraldic fleur-de-lys, and a segmented fluted pommel. Both the hilt and pommel feature fine, historically accurate floral engravings.

Geometry
No N-gons
N-gons are polygons with five or more sides which might cause issues in certain processes like rendering or animation. Learn more
No faceted geometry
Faceted geometry uses flat surfaces without smoothing, which can look unrealistic on curves.
Learn more
Manifold geometry
Manifold geometry ensures all surfaces are properly connected, avoiding issues like edges shared by more than two faces.

Textures & material
PBR textures
PBR textures simulate how light interacts with materials, making the model look realistic under different lighting.
Required PBR textures:
- Base Color
- Roughness
- Metalness
- Normal
Learn more
No embed textures
Embedded textures are stored inside the model file, increasing its size and sometimes causing compatibility issues.
Learn more
Square textures
Texture aspect ratio is the width-to-height ratio of a texture. Expected texture aspect ratio: 1:1
Learn more
Power of 2 texture sizes
Textures with dimensions in power of two (e.g. 512x512px, 1024x1024px) are used to optimize performance and memory usage.

Assigned materials
Materials are applied to the 3D model to allow visualize a model's surface properties and appearance.
Learn more
UVs & naming
No UV overlaps
UVs overlap when multiple points on the 3D model's surface are mapped to the same point on the UV island causing texture stretching.
Learn more
UV unwrapped model
A UV unwrapped model means its 3D surface is flattened into 2D space, allowing textures to be applied accurately.
