Historical Tents
It would be great if we could get a series of historical and fantasy inspired tents. Such tents come in a wide variety of styles and were typically quite colorful and unique. With the tent model, it would be great to also have templates to be able to create our own tent designs. The tents should include details like tent doors, polls in metal or wood, ropes, and stakes. These tents could be places near one another to create a sort of modular system for unique tent styles.
Optional tent idea: damage options, and tent in a state of wreckage
Update: There are older tent models that exist, however they are lower quality and do not look very good when paired with newer gen8 hd models. There are many great products in the Daz store that would benefit from being updated.

Merlin does a medieval knight's tent.

I have that model, it is lovely. It still doesn't provide a wide variety of shapes and styles. That said, it is a great model if you want just 1 tent shape for the most part.
There are these, they may be pre-Iray though

There were 2 that were weekly freebies - I'm at work just now so can't check my content. One was basically a red version of the last image the OP posted.
I've looked at those, but on closer inspection, they don't look like they have aged well. There's a lot of older content that for it's time was nice, but once you look at the models today they have not aged well.
Updated historical tents with things like dforce flags and a template for the materials would be nice. When you take these older tent models and put them alongside a newer gen 8 hd model with the latest armor set? It's really rough looking.
This tent is -lovely- https://www.daz3d.com/knights-pavilion but is in only one shape, I'm looking for better quality.
Not sure how well you think these have aged, but these were the ones I was thinking of

I've seen those, thanks for the suggestion. They really did not age well and are much older models.
What about this one by Powerage?
Le Camp du Drap d'Or for DS Iray
Link Corrected
I’m a little curious how well a tent would work using dforce... hmm!
That links to the accessories. This link goes to the tents: https://www.renderosity.com/mod/bcs/le-camp-du-drap-dor-for-ds-iray/116691/
I have this - they feel very cartoony and are lacking important details like...ropes, or even a tent door. They really are kind of meh.
A dforce tent setup could have a prefab cloth in a tent shape, then you could have a tent frame you build under it - and then use the dforce to drape the tent - that way you can have things like the tent door flap being pushed open by someone walking out of the tent.
An optional texture for the historical tent would be a Persian tent run setup.
