Question about "The Armoury by Merlin"

How usable are the props in it?  Are they only useful as static props to have around a room, or does the armor conform to figures? (If so, which?)  Do the various weapons work well for being wielded?

    I've used this set in animation I did . Diane Dublin - Dragon Hunter

    Some props can be parented to your characters to be used as weapons. the Armour does not fit anything nor is it useable to be fitted to any character I have tried using it on. though i have used some pieces as props   the building can be modified to be used in many different types of scenes. and the set is not optimized or textured for Iray.

    I hope that helps

    Though If you like dragons battle then you'll enjoy this animation i did ..The Arena. Daz Studio animation

     

    Or this one Karate Girl in the Dragon Warrior  which is really good because she released the dude's spirit who was cursed to be a dragon

    was wondering if she would grab any of the treasure to take home smiley

    she came back and took it all ..:) the plan was originally to make a sequel, unfortunately I just never got around to it :)

    Thanks.  I'll keep it in my wishlist, but at a lower priority.

    The armour was modelled to fit around M4 to get the proportions right but they were designed to be a static prop.  All of the weaponry is certainly usable as separate props however.  I liked the idea that Michael and Victoria could just pop along to the armoury, grab something from the wall or rack and start using it in a different scene :)
