Inspired by the new discovery of some Iron Age Celtic gold torcs near my home (the Leekfrith torcs), I thought I would undertake a new Poser\/DAZ Content Survey for this blog. The theme is Ancient Celtic<\/strong>, trying to steer toward somewhat-authentic historical recreation, rather than barbarian fantasy or modern ‘gift-shop style’ Celtic-wear or Leprechaun tartan. <\/p>\n

There’s not a great mound of specifically Ancient Celtic content out there, so some of the following suggests mixing and matching and re-working much late Saxon, Viking and even Roman-era content.<\/p>\n

\n

Clothing:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Genesis 2 has Celtic Maeve Outfit<\/a> and Celtic Fionn Outfit<\/a>, and the latter looks to have especially nice ‘looks-authentic’ boots.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Although meant to be oriental Sarsa’s Fighting Monk for Genesis 2 Male<\/a> and Fighting Monk Textures<\/a> give you a believable looking waistband and leggings.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The Hunters for Genesis 2 Female<\/a> has a good fur cloak of the correctly square type, but for the fur you’re required to load the Look at My Hair preset with the Look At My Hair<\/a> fur-ifying plugin for DAZ Studio.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Norsemen I for Viking for Genesis 2 Male<\/a> which requires Viking for Genesis 2 Male<\/a>…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Medieval Countrymen<\/a> for Peasant Outfit for Genesis 3 Male<\/a>…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Medieval Cloaks for Genesis 3 Female<\/a>…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Tattered and Torn<\/a> for M3 Hooded Cloak<\/a> and V4 Hooded Cloak<\/a>, because the Celts are in a wet and usually rather muddy environment, and not all of them are going to be walking any distance in their best finery. Possibly good for middle-distance extras in a village scene.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Dark and Moody<\/a> has the required plaid texture for Dynamic Cloak for V4\/M4<\/a>…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Highland Lad<\/a> for Genesis 1…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Shawls appear to have been a big thing in Celtic life, rather than bear-fur shoulder-pads. So Camelot Texture Pack for the DNA Morphing Shawl<\/a> for the DNA Morphing Shawl For V3<\/a> may be useful.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

See also the Dynamic Evening Gown and Drape for Victoria 4<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Russian Ladies for V3\/V4<\/a> may offer some possibilities with re-textured headscarves…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Guarded Heart Clothing for G2F<\/a> also has adaptable-looking heavier winter headwear…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The Rachel Dynamic Tunic and Shawl for V4<\/a> is Biblical, but could also be adapted with some suitable textures.<\/p>\n

\n

Hair:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Dragonsbane Barbarian Hair and Beard<\/a> for Dragonsbane Barbarian Character HD for Genesis 3 Male<\/a>…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Milen Hair<\/a> for Genesis 2 Female and Male…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Fishtail Braids<\/a> has a nice chunky look to it… <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

There was a lot of Viking content published about 18 months ago, and there are probably quite a few other suitable braided semi-windblown hairstyles around.<\/p>\n

For a neater and more ‘Galadriel’ look, try Nimue Hair for Genesis 2 Female<\/a> and for a more ‘wild Irish coleen’ look try Piratess Hair for Genesis 1 and 2<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n

Adornment: <\/strong><\/p>\n

There are neck torcs (torques) in the ensemble costume sets in Woodgod M4 H4<\/a>, Hyperborean for V4<\/a>, Aether for V4<\/a> and the Red Sonja-alike Briana Culaith for V4 \/ A4<\/a>…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

There’s also a nice torc in Celtic Jewel for M4<\/a> along with bracelets and metal armbands…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Sadly the 3D torcs in Arki’s CernunnosCircle range were retired when the Runtime DNA store closed.<\/p>\n

Power Barbarian for V4<\/a> is a fantasy-girl barbarian, but the neck-fur could go well in a winter scene with another warrior outfit…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\n

Battle:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Warrior Monk for Genesis 3 Male<\/a> looks later, rather “Black Sea circa 400 A.D.”, but the shield looks nice and has a worn texture MAT. Although generally the Celtic shields were long and oblong<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Celtic Warrior for M4<\/a> looks a little basic, but he might be useful if you need a dozen M4s in the middle-distance for a battle-scene. Apparently the helmets were like that, even though it may seem rather too “Lord of The Rings<\/em>” to many modern eyes.<\/p>\n

\n

Scenes:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Celtic Great Hall<\/a> for House of Mog Ruith<\/a> is a bit Lord of The Rings<\/em>, but with some thatch on the roof it might be suitable. As far as I know no-one has made a thatch \/ aged expansion for it.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Although 1,000 years or so later, Saxon Settlement by Merlin<\/a> is detailed and high-quality, and will give you two types of primitive huts needed for a Northern European village setting. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

For settlement clutter, Viking Village Props<\/a> has an especially nice fish-rack…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

DM’s Stones of Graith<\/a> is the usual DM quality, and might be merged with Ancient Tree<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Karacairns<\/a> has some archaic-looking monoliths with carved stylised designs, though these are more Pictish than Celtic. There’s also the basis of a large round-barrow (minus turf) in the pack.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Merlin’s Celtic Stones<\/a> in OBJ also look useful.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n
