The Imperial Seal of Japan for IJN Ships

keltos01 · 01-08-09, 11:23 AM

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.

What ship is that a picture of?

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

Now we just have to find a good picture and texture it on the skin files.

tater · 01-09-09, 02:48 AM

Put the 3d object in a dat, and stick it on.

keltos01 · 01-09-09, 03:58 AM

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

Hello, I'm searching for a 3D model of the imperial chrysanthemum-shaped shield. Does anyone know where I can find one ?
