One thing that most can probably agree on is that weave naming in chainmaille is all over the place. While most will call weaves by whatever is most comfortable for them I prefer a more consistent approach. With that in mind I'm currently interested in thoughts about the "*tine" weaves (Boxantine, Byzantine, Persiantine, etc.)
Please note: This render was done with an oversize AR and single tether for clarity of the concept. Violet rings are tether rings.
From Top to Bottom:
What can be seen as common between these 3 weaves is that, each weave cells (right column) is made up of 2 instances of the middle column which are rotated 90 degrees from each other and result in the creation of a mirrored unit (if you remove the first tether ring):
What do you think is the "defining" factor of a "tine" weave? Is it the rotation, the mirroring, that the rotation results in a mirroring, or something else entirely?
My personal thought is that it's the 90 degree rotation resulting in a mirroring, as you can have rotations, and you can have mirroring in weaves that are not co-dependent, but I'm definitely open to hearing your opinions.
