The clothes we see in Legacy of Persia should be as close as possible to what we might see a 10th century Samanid Amir wear. We focused on 8th - 11th century references, basing our work on the art produced by Iranians that were inspired by Sassanian and-or Zoroastrian sources while at the same time not looking anachronistic. This meant we needed to give Persian characters their own new look and at the same time reinforce the visual identities of the Turks and Arabs. When creating art for Legacy of Persia, we were looking for ways to represent the resurgence of the Iranian identity in the Iranian Intermezzo after two centuries of intermingling and struggling with the Arab and Turkic peoples.
Before we move on to looking at some of the amazing 3D artwork the team has created for the Flavor Pack, I would like to give an overview of our decision-making process.
I’m Lucas Ribeiro, the Art Lead for the project. Hello and welcome to the Developer Diary focusing on 3D Art for Crusader Kings III: Legacy of Persia.
