Default The Imperial Seal of Japan for IJN Ships







The Imperial Seal of Japan is a mon or crest used by members of the Japanese Imperial family. Under the Meiji Constitution, no one was permitted to use the Imperial Seal except the Emperor of Japan, who used a 16 petal chrysanthemum with sixteen tips of another row of petals showing behind the first row. So each member of the Imperial family used a slightly modified version of the seal. Shinto shrines either displayed the imperial seal or incorporated elements of the seal into their own emblems.(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Imperial_Seal_of_Japan)




made in Keltos

This 3D model of chrysanthemum is for the bow of the Mogami or any other IJN warship (Yamato...) but the model will then have to be adjusted. I made it according to the picture above.

@Miner1436 : I made it so you can quit looking on the web for one

The photo is of battleship Mikasa, Admiral Togo's flagship at Battle of Tsushima Straits. She is a museum ship in Yokosuka.

how about adding a details node like the deck of the Uboot IXD2 with the 3D model ? then link it to a small texture file ?

I tried it yesterday with the golden texture taken directly from the picture here above, but it didn't look too good.

might do an occlusion map for it also ?

You can put it in a dat, throw the textures in the textures folder, then pint that one object at the 1 texture. Add it to any ship by importing the dat you make.

Great work!
Thank you for making "kiku no gomon"
I remember this imperial seal was not allowed using for Japanese subs
