Real ring mail is created so there is basically the main torso which is one piece from neck to waist with the "grain" running lateral or across the chest. The arms are basically tubes attached to the main torso piece and the grain runs the circumference of the arm.

Hope this bit of info helps you out.

Hi!
New update on the armour:) starting to get some progress with the new node system,next I think is to get the flow of the rings correct . Btw , the rings are based on viking armour 4+1 rings and up to 10k rings in each suit so called "brynja" (Swedish) ... so the rings in my model should probaly be smaller.
