ranman, trying again to send a post. Just got home and read through the new messages. You are doing an incrediable job on all of this. Between you and Naoki, I think the german soldiers in my Sgt.Rock story are going to be pretty well supplied. Now if this thing will just post.....

I downloaded and they're great!  Also those hat that waffen is making, look incredible!

Great work folks!  Whoohoo!  Thanks from a freebie user!

One thing would go well with this figure, the late-war peaked field cap. I'm not sure if, strictly, it's the same as the cap worn by mountain troop, or part of the tropical uniform such as worn by the Afrika Korps, but for characters in the background I suspect you could get away with it.

I will work on the peaked kind of floppy hat that tank commanders wore, as well as a triangle stile hat that the crew often wore. Who knows, I may be able to put out a crew coverall style pretty quick by adapating a race car driver suit I have made.

I will also upload some more textures for the tank commander suit. Camo and field grey.

Waffen,  Excellent job on the field caps. I made mine pretty quickly and was not trying to make it ultra accurate, more of an accessory really. But, if someone wants "posed" Tank commander pictures, or close-ups, I would highly recommend your caps!  Great work.

I appreciate the comments everyone, I have more stuff to contribute, and will try and get a solid place to offer the fruits of my labor.

Great news! Even more stuff coming our way! :woot:

 The uniforms I've used so far are both ranman38's soldier and Naoki's. Looks like the car's going to be segregated- soldiers in one half and officers in the other. sounds about right

 for those that would like to see the rest of the train, check out my gallery-http://www.renderosity.com/gallery.ez?ByArtist=Yes&Artist=mdbruffy

"actually, by the time, everything was said and done, very little of the artwork ended up being used."

Really ?  That's a pity.  Your groups of people have been nicely posed.

infinity 10- Thanks for the comment. Thing is, the train will be seen-primarily- at a distance, So there's a chance, that by the time the story is actually done, even this much will be hard to see. But even then, I think it'll look better than the blank white windows.

I used something like these on some freebies recently because there was no interior. 

The trick is not to use too much of a repeating pattern and use something that gives a small sense of depth where non actually exists.  

Not to further hijack the thread, but I noticed that my german soldier pants still has an error in the left knee. I was able to fix the mesh. Would it just be best to upload a fixed mesh to freestuff? Or completely reload my whole figure? I believe it will work, just to load a new obj??? Not sure, haven't tried it yet. Let me know if you have experienced this before. Thanks.

Hi all,

I didnt know there was so much WW2 interest.  Do you guys want authentic battle environments?  If there any interest in a model of the Brest-Litovsk Fortress (first attack of Barbarossa)?  I have 80% modeled it -- its enormous and detailed.

mr.sparky- if it's okay, I'll do a screenshot of your  windows and keep it on file. If and when I use the train again, it might come in handy.

ranman- didn't notice any problem with the soldier's pants when I used them, might just depend on the pose. And you didn't hijack anything- this thread was started in search of uniforms- and you're talking uninforms. If there hasn't been too many downloads yet, I would think it would be the easier fix to just upload a corrected figure. Then it's fixed and done and folks won't have to search for both the original and the patch.

muralist- unfortunately, my stort deals with a train and the bridge it has to cross. Sound like a great model though.

I would be interested in environments.

I have had over 700 downloads, so, I am not sure what to do. I have discoverd it takes a new obj and a new cr2 to fix it.

Still sounds like the simpliest fix is a new upload of the entire, corrected file.

Muralist, I would love that environment. I am working on two other environments as well.

mdbruffy  - no problems - use as desired.  (same goes for everyone else.)

If you need a lossless version IM your email address and I'll send you  the original .BMP file

Muralist I would like that environment, too.

if you have had problems with my german soldier pants mesh having a break in the left knee, you can go here

http://www.vanishingpoint.biz/freeitemdownload.asp?freeitemid=321

and pick up a fixed version. This will replace everything, or you can delete the m42pants.obj and m42pants.cr2 and replace them with the new one of each.

Thanks RanMan, and welcome to Vanishing Point.

Glad to be a part of that great community
