Working on charcters for my Sgt.Rock story and need german uniforms for James. Anyone know of any? Found some for Micheal 3- made by Naoki- but he didn't put the website in his readme and I can't remeber which one it was! Help please?

There's a mention of a German uniform by CoreArts over on Vanishing Point's Panzer tank listing but no link to it. CoreArts.com is no longer online and is available for sale so I'm guessing they left the poser arena. They only have two stores left online that I can find with a baseballl and Tae Kwon Do uniform for M3. Those are at Poser Pro's and Renderotica. I'm guessing the german one was for M3 since I don't have it. Since they have stores on those two sites you might try contacting them there to see if the german outfit is still available.

Naoki's Poser Shed

But, looks like Poser 4 Male SS jackets.

Just give me about a week. I have the rights to redistribute the CoreArts German uniforms, but I am just fixing up the files. The clothes weren't UV mapped, so I am just mapping them, so that people can make better textures for them.

I fixed up all the files, made all the clothes and props use external geometry, fixed some of the texture errors, and re-wrote all the instructions. I will also be releasing the US Paratrooper uniform at the same time.

If youare in a big hurry, IM me your e-mail address, I will send you the files as I have them now, but the UV Mapping is not finished.

Panko, who makes the excellent weapons packs, will also be releasing two packs of WWII field gear props, things like water bottles, magazine pouches, webbing, grenades, holsters, belts, medic packs, etc.

And we are working on some excellent freebies and other WWII products. This wrecked tank is most probably going to be a freebie.

Man I'm glad you foudn this thread. CoreArt's Website is gone and the only two products remaining that I could find were the same on both 'Otica and Pros. Glad I snagged those racing bike uniforms back when I did!

Oh, I forgot to say, the German and US uniforms are for Mike 1 and 2, but I am sure that someone could convert them with wardrobe wizard. They are free, so that shouldn't be an issue.

The passengers are the last piece I need to do for the passenger car of my train. I need to get them rendered so I can work them into the texture map for the windows. I have a program called QuickConform that I got from Renderosity. Would it be able to adjust the uniforms so they'd work for James?

The helmet was just repositioned and resized like fitting hair to another figure.

I tried converting to the p4 male first but the jacket almost fits the p4 male anyway so it wouldn`t have been much of a test.

Cool. I am working on the uniforms right now. The weapons are not that good, so I am not going to bother with them, I would suggest the Axis military weapons by Panko for that, and the WWII German Field Gear pack that Panko is busy with will also replace most of the add-on props, like the pouches and gas mask canister, so I am just concentrating on the pants, jacket, parka and boots. We will be making a more accurate and detailed helmet and officers cap soon as well.

It will be a freebie, and their will be some extra textures for free as well, like winter, SS, Afrika Korps and medic as well. Can only make those once I have finished this UV Mapping though.

Oh, yes, I just recalled that someone over at Poser Club Japan is modelling a helmet which looks like a WWII one.

but that blog entry can slip depending on whetehr the creator adds new entries from this time on.

For Free WW2 weapons, check here in the 3DS section. All will need rescaling for Poser. M1 Carbine M1A1 Thompson (stick magazine, not drum) MP40 (needs some mesh editing -- a couple of parts in the wrong place) PPSh (Soviet submachinegun, with stick and drum magazines) StG44 (or MP44, first assault rifle, with the same sort of mesh glitches as the MP40) Also a German stick grenade. For Soviet soldiers a greatcoat is available in Poser freebies, as well as the ushanka winter hat and Moisin-Nagant rifle. Anthony Appleyard has done a decent M3A1 SMG for the Americans (and they lasted until the .45 pistol round went out of use) and I've also a good Sten gun from somewhere. Most of Naoki's stuff converts well, but you may have to edit the groupnames in the .obj file: Wardrobe Wizard can throw a wobbly with some of the English[space]Japanese names that Poser isn't bothered with. The SS Tank Jacket has the SS insignia; a similar black jacket was worn by Army tank crews, while SP gun crews wore the same in Feld Grau. Similarly, the officer's uniform can be re-coloured and the insignia replaced to represent an Army officer on parade. US troops very early in the war still wore the British-style helmet. A new-style helmet was introduced in British service mid-war. I think Greylight has the old-style British Helmet.

Helgard, Maybe Vanishing Point should fix the items they are selling before they create new stuff. I'm still miffed the Vanishing Point Blackhawk helicopter doesn't animate in Vue. If you animate it in Poser it won't work in Vue. Vue imports only the shell and it's a mess. I wouldn't recommend this product to anyone. There should have been a disclaimer on the product when I bought it. There wasn't when I bought it now it's useless to me! Daz's Blackhawk helicopter will animate in Vue so everyone expects this one will too, but it doesn't. Vanishing Point should offer a refund if Models are faulty, or are misrepresented.

I am almsot done with my German Soldier and German Tank commander suits. I will put them in free stuff this week.

Um, LM, the Models at Vanishing Point are made for Poser, Not VUE! You can't hold them responsible for the way they act in a software package they were NOT designed for.... well you can do it if you'd like, but we'll all just laugh at you.

LMcLean, Vanishing Point is not one person, but like DAZ or Rendo we are quite a few merchants. I did not make the BlackHawk, and I will not be the one updating it.

I think your post is slightly inappropriate, we are discussing WWII german uniforms that will be giving away for free by me, and you manage to turn the thread into a "Vanishing Point" makes crap products thread. What does the BlackHawk have to do with me or this thread?

This is the first I have heard about a problem with the BlackHawk. Have you let me or John know there was a problem? This is the first time I have heard of this, and I speak to John everyday. I have imported and animated the BlackHawk in Vue.I have seen two other movies with the BlackHawk animated in Vue and in Cinema4D. I will test this model, and if I find a problem it will be fixed.

As the modeller who made the Blackhawk, I will apologize for any difficulties you may be having.
 
However, I will not apologize for the quality of the model. It was designed for use in Poser 4 and above, which means it is guaranteed to work in Poser 4, Poser Pro Pack, Poser Artist, Poser 5, and Poser 6. It is not meant for use in any other program, nor do we state that it's compatible with any other program.
If one of our products is meant for use in Vue, the name of the product will include the words " (for Vue)"... such as the "Executive Helicopter (for Vue)".
 
I'm sorry you can't get the Blackhawk Helicopter to work in Vue, but it wasn't designed for use in Vue. I would say the same thing to anyone who tried to use it in 3D Studio Max, Lightwave, Bryce, or even DAZ Studio. Yes, these programs may be able to import Poser scene files, but sometimes they can't- that's to be expected with any import process.
 
Additionally, we have not had any complaints from users using the Blackhawk Helicopter in Poser. You can be miffed, you are free to not recommend this product to other Vue users, and you are free to talk about your experience with this product.
But you have no right to imply that all of our products need "fixing" because they don't work in an unsupported program. Posting a message like this could be construed as libelous.
 
And like Helgard said, what does this have to do with a discussion about WW2 German uniforms?

Helgard, I apologize if you feel I singled you out, but I meant this model as the culprit not you specifically, and it wasn't me who said Vanishing Point makes crap products those were your words. As for speaking to John, yes, I let John know of the problem immediately after purchasing the Blackhawk and realizing it couldn't be animated in Vue. He said it couldn't be animated in Vue. Here is a link to the problems I posted in March after purchasing the Blackhawk. http://market.renderosity.com/mod/forumpro/showthread.php?thread_id=2623458 and here is the response I received from John, I don't want to sound mean, but none of our models are meant for use in Vue except for the "Executive Helicopter (for Vue)". I can try to help you out, but I don't even own Vue Infinite. The Blackhawk uses "geometry switching" to hide and show the blades, but Blue Thunder does not. This could be what's causing the issue in Vue. Try unzipping all of the Blackhawk files (obj files, textures, etc) into one folder and then try importing the model from there. When Vue imports the Poser file, try pointing it at the folder with the obj and texture files. Hopefully this will do the trick. --John JCH Digital Designs Vanishing Point.biz... Innovating the 3D World I have tried everything to get this to work, but it has not worked yet. Helgard, you said you will test this model and it will be fixed. Will customers like myself get a free version of the fixed Blackhawk helicopter? JHoagland, I was not inferring that all your models were problematic. I apologise if that is how it came across. I only meant that the Blackhawk was not working in Vue. I have used other models at Vanishing Point with great success, but as a customer I hope you can see my frustration. Please offer to refund a product if it doesn't meet a customers requirements, and please post a message stating that the blackhawk is not animatible in Vue. Helgard, said he would test the model and it will be fixed. Will customers like myself get a free version of the fixed Blackhawk helicopter?

I suggest you take these Helicopter issues to private messages rather than hijacking someone else's thread.

Sorry if I sounded a bit harsh, I was just a bit upset that something that had nothing to do with me was hijacking the thread.

Anyway, I have just imported the BlackHawk into Vue, with a 4 second animation. I didn't set lights or textures, and I purposefully slowed down some movements so that you can see them working. All the blades, doors, flaps, morphs, etc, work perfectly fine.

If I can replicate your problem, I can see if there is a way to fix it. The proplem may be caused when using the geometry switching functions, as I don't know if all versions of Vue support that. Which version of Vue are you using, and are you using the geometry switching?

Here is a still from the video, sorry about the overlighting of the scene, I was trying to get it bright enough to see everything and I may have slightly overdone it, lol.

Let me know exactly what steps you followed for the animation, and I will see if I can copy the mistake, see what is causing it, and fix it.

Helgard

Hello? Remeber me? the one that started this thread? Just got home and started reading through all of this and I started to wonder if I was reading the right thread. I think ranman38's entry was probably the last one that dealt with my question. I know everyone's got an opinion and/or an issue of somewkind and I have no problem with people getting things off their chests- as long as they stick to the subject- 'kay?

 Thank you.Now then, ranman, you say these were posted in the free section. I'll check 'em out. Thanks.

"Helgard, you said you will test this model and it will be fixed. Will customers like myself get a free version of the fixed Blackhawk helicopter?"

If it needs fixing, and if I can fix it, then of course the fix will be free, lol. All part of the good service. Sorry, if I had looked at that other thread I would have known about this sooner, my mistake, next time just contact me directly.

(One other thing, when you import the BlackHawk into Vue, Vue loses the link to the reflection map, just the way Vue works, so you have to reset that in Vue materials, or change the reflection values.)

Helgard

ranman- just checked free section for your uniforms and couldn't find them. I tried your username and I tried "German Uniforms". How are they listed?

mdbruffy, My personal apologies for hijacking your thread. Helgard, Thanks for posting the movie. I am using the latest version of Vue Infinite. ver. 5.09 i don't even know what geometry switching is so I doubt I'm using it. As for my working method, what I do is animate the helicopter in Poser then import it into Vue. When it imports the Rotors and Blades are missing along with other geometry. Here's the heli animated in Poser.

ranman- never mind. I misread your post. Looking forward to them when you do upload them.

Sorry for interrupting here guys.  But after getting ripped off last week, and now I see a post from someone who bought this model months ago. It's makes me kinda annoyed.

Moreso for a package it's not designed for) and we've been trying to help you repeatedly since (even tonight)  So please don't complain about poor customer service thats really unfair thing to say. 

I sent you an email myself on the 22nd of March (06) about this. It gave you a full step-by-step solution,  it even included a link to a Vue 4 version of the model I made especially for you.  Would you like me to send you another copy via IM ?

Once again my apologies for interrupting.

I think.. I'll just stand over here, until you guys get this worked out..............

Broadsword calling Danny Boy.

Ranman38 these outfits look great.

mrsparky, I don't remmber recieving that email would you mind sending it again? Thanks. Helgard, I couldn't upload the file since it was 300 k. It was only the animation of the heli in poser though. What version of Vue are you using? Did you do anything special to get the heli to animate in Vue? Let me know what you find out? Thanks

Well I tried MdBruffy. I guess there's no getting people to start their own threads instead of hijcking nice innocent ones and holding them for ransom. I'd say look forward to Vanishing Point re-releasing CoreArt's uniforms and running them through Wardrobe Wizard to fit them to James.

Mizrael I guess you're right.  I think they've forgotten what this thread was suppposed to be about.

 I'm bowing out.

Lorne - on it's way.

Mizrael - sorry for any hijacking - it's been a loooooong day at  work. Go and post a dog picture in my copyright forum thread :)

I for one am are looking forward to the M3 versions of these corearts uniforms.   

I see that the German soldier is wearing the late-war version of the uniform.

It wasn't my thread, it was MdB's. I'll let him post doggies to chase your Kitty cat avatar.

:tt2:

A Panzer IV tank (four versions), Military Environment 2, Turret Bunker Environment, JagdPanther Expansion, German Wrecks and off course the uniforms will be free anyway.

Send me an IM with your e-mail address and I will send you a link as soon as the one you chose is ready. 

LMcLean, I think I know what the problem is, but I think we have hijacked this thread enough, so let's keep dicussing this in the linked thread. 

Helgard-

 Appology accepted. I've just never seen a thread veer off like this one did. The Panzer Tank would be fine.  I'll send the e-mail adress through Renderosity's IM system.

Quote - As soon as my files get approved in free stuff I will post a notice here.

Love that Tank Commander!

Thanks for sharing.

The tank commander outfit is available to download at ranman38`s  homepage.

I hope he doesn`t mind me announcing it.

Yeah, I didn't really mean to make that file public, but I did, so go for it. Enjoy.

Well dammmmnnn i got meself a nice german uniform loaded it on my PC it was to BIG ... i put the pc with that uniform on it in the washer on HOT to shrink it ..gues what.. The PC is not working anymore.. i think the maker of that uniform should give me a nice new shiny MAC G5  :woot: ...

Euh did i just steal the thread sorry won't do it again :tt2:

Sorry for the file download problems. The file locker lite here at renderosity is virtually useless if you get more than a few downloads. And I do not think it is wise to spend 27.95 or whatever a month to host free stuff. So, I am looking for a new place for these files. Vanishing Point wants me to upload them there, and at Content paradise, but not until next month. Any other ideas? Thanks, and sorry for the messge about exceeding my bandwidth.

p.s. I took down the German soldier uniform as it had "tearing" at the knees in extreme poses. I have fixed it, but will wait to see where I upload it to.

I really want that Tank Commander uniform.  I hope things get worked out!  I for one appreciate all the hard work and dedication of the providers of these wonderful items!  I want to thank you all personally for the products you've done and can't wait for them!

Good luck with finding a hosting spot for them. ^__^ V,,

A hard fought  thread about WW2 uniforms that almost became a war on it's own. LOL

Off-topic happens.

I know what you mean i got 2 freebee here aswell and i have only 50MB space on the website.

So after 2000 download  the first has got to go off the webspace to make room for a new one.

Thats why i state limited!!  at de freebee's .

Ps i was just joking about the uniform and the pc etc etc etc..

Don't hit me im just a wierd dutchman :lol:
