Description
Game/VR/AR-ready low-poly model of an early medieval seax (large knife/short sword). The model has 4K PBR-textures and is built to real-world scale (metric system).
The seax was a large knife primarily used as a tool, but that most likely also functioned as a weapon for personal defence (or as a backup weapon in war). The seax was common during the Migration Period and early Middle Ages all over central and northern Europe and came in many different shapes and sizes.
The model and PBR-textures are prepared for use with Unity and Unreal Engine, but can easily be adapted to other game engines, or for other uses. The model was created using Blender and Substance Painter. Preview images were rendered with Iray.

Materials & Textures
The model is UV-mapped and has a single material and three sets of physics based textures, one for PBR MetalRough, one for Unity (metallic workflow) and one for Unreal Engine. 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 in the subfolders PBR textures, Unity textures and Unreal Engine textures:
