Viking Age sword type H Low-poly 3D model

Game/VR/AR ready low-poly model of a Viking Age double edged sword with 4K PBR-textures built to real-world scale (metric system).

The typical one handed, double edged Viking Age swords (sometimes called Carolingian swords) were in widespread used in large parts of Europe during the 8th to 11th centuries. They developed from the earlier Merovingian swords, that in turn were inspired by the long Roman sword, the spatha.

The Viking Age sword was an expensive weapon specialised for cutting with a broad blade and a relatively blunt point. Most types of Viking Age swords only had small crossguards and were designed to be used with a shield.

This specific Viking Age sword is 91 cm long and has a hilt of Petersen Type H that was common from around 750 to 950 AD.

The model and PBR-textures are prepared for use with Unity 5 and Unreal Engine 4, but can easily be adapted to other game engines, or to other uses. The model was created using Blender and Substance Painter. Preview images were rendered with Iray.

* There are three different FBX-files, one standard PBR MetalRough, one for Unity and one for Unreal (the last two have triangulated faces).

Materials & Textures
The model is UV-mapped and has a single material with three sets of physics based textures, one for PBR MetalRough, one for Unity 5 (metallic workflow) and one for Unreal Engine 4. The textures are not baked into the model, but are saved as png-files with a resolution of 4096 x 4096 pixels (8 bits) in the zip-file PBR textures and the subfolders PBR textures, Unity 5 textures and Unreal Engine 4 textures:
