  • I think it's time for another big (oh no) update for model packs.

    I found a lot of problems with the models (left over from the original Dive models, plus my crooked hands added a few new ones) and some dull animations (automatic guns) that need to be fixed. But I'm also thinking of adding some new animations (I'm thinking about sleep and reload) and making animations on portraits of soldiers more lively (I liked animating portraits of zombies). Considering how many collections of models I have here... It's going to be sooooo fun.

    I hope I will master all this without abandoning case and without killing myself against the wall from the monotonous work of attaching surfaces to the skeleton.
    I've lost all motivation and now I'm thinking how to solve this problem.

    Maybe I should make some models by request (as I once made raiders).
    So, from now on, I accept model requests (to begin with, a couple of them). You shouldn't expect much from me because I haven't fully mastered this craft yet. I can only sculpt models, draw textures for them (as I can) and make clumsy animations.

    Just not too much and not about the world wars.

    Cheer up, buddy.
    As I see it, you only made soldiers with firearms.
    I advise you to change the race and era in modeling.
    For example, start with the undead with ballistic missiles, preferably :)

    Duude, you need a purpose. Perhaps some cool people to make cool project with :]. It's hard to keep the drive alone. A team of bucketheads crazy about the same thing as you is self-propelling engine of passion, creative energy, fun and stupidity :].

    Jak ekipa słaba to i imprezy drętwe xD.
    Hello. Do you plan to rework HerrDave's units? Now your modelling styles are starting to diverge a lot from each other. HerrDave's riflemen have no bayonet animation, MP40 in hands of assault trooper and your sapper have different sizes etc.... Models are becoming more difficult to use together.

    But... i already reworked them.

    Maybe we misunderstanding... In you additional units pack we don't have generic rifleman and smg... Or maybe im blind. Need to check again.
    Hey there, I like your dedication to making high quality models for lots of different eras. May I edit and use your models in a map I'm making? Specifically for the animations of the heavy mortar and the civil war saboteur? If you're curious I can send pics of what I aim to do.

    I just looked at your charming Indian warrior and thought: his face would be very useful for the colonial troops.

    Can I also borrow something of yours, namely your textures?

    Of course but I have a another texture set which might be of more use to you, I'll send it over

    I made a bunch of textures for different things a while ago. The skins sheet has faces, eyes, hands. The accessories has pouches, shoes, straps etc. The other sheets have stuff specific to different periods. It's mostly copied from herrdave texture sheets but some of the stuff is unique. I only bit I'm really proud of is the late sheet. The dark tunic colour looks like fledgrau when it's got a red TC and a muted darker version of other TCs. The light tunic colour is french sky blue when it's blue, tan when it's red and other colours in between. You might find something useful in the various files. I can give gimp files if you wanna have raw images.
    I found another map with my, errr, models.
    At least my name is marked in the description. But I'm a little confused.
    Love your models, made some (admittedly dirty) texture edits using Vietnam war colors since I saw your NVA units. I don't want to post them since they're edits of your models but I thought I'd share a picture of some of the fun I had.

    Any plans to do this officially?

    What the-- I can see now.
    Lookin' cool
    I suddenly found a map where my models are used. Why "suddenly"? Because no one told me anything about it.
    Come on, how can I keep the mood and continue to make models if I do not know that someone is using them somewhere at all.

    I wonder where else I'll see them.

    Map where i found them.

    I know the feeling but with maps.
    I've done 1 that I've spent soo much time on but I've only heard anything from like 3 people out of 2000 downloads. Unsure if people have enjoyed it, or even played it.

    Errr... I am currently using a lot of your models (that's why I reported bugs in past in the first place), but I've never released my map anywhere at that moment. Even though I started to work on it in December.
    Hi. Can I ask you about your early allied/soviet buildings that can be found in the album?
    Lord-of-Tuk
    Lord-of-Tuk
    Have you abandoned work on these buildings?
    If so, what stage of work... Oh, my english is too bad to form this question(

    He wanted to ask that question: On what stage of work did you abandon/freezed these projects? BTW I would really like to know what happened to your futuristic soldiers. I know that I already asked that question, that was not answered, but I am still curious about these models.

    I have problem with building animations and i try to fix them.

    About the soldiers... Well, it's complicated here. It's better not to wait for them. Well, unless Ecoharmer can be done someday.

    And you can feel free to write in your own language (at least next to it in parentheses). I'll probably figure it out.

    I am collecting the history-related pictures of archaeological finds, artworks, reconstructions, photos and such things. Different periods and cultures. There is some photos related to the WWI-WWII, seems its not easy to find them in the internet. Considering the theme of your and Dave's models, maybe it can be interesting for you? Some related to Ethiopian Empire, many other to Civil War and World War II in the Kingdom of Yugoslavia.
    Hello, what about your fictional soldiers (Legionnaire and Field Engineer ones) and French Cold War units?
    Hello, What program do you use to make icons for WWII unit models? I'm mainly talking about these symbols on the icons.
    May I ask if you keep old versions of your models?

    It seems to me that while the new models are of better quality, the old ones have better proportions within Warcraft. Also, the old models can be used in conjunction with Dave's models without any problems. The new ones have different proportions from models maded by Dave.
    Hello, how about making a pack of government troops of Arab countries? (Similar to Egypt, Syria) Well, or a pack of the Mujahideen?

    I really hope that you will continue to actively delight us with your models) You outdid HeerDave in their diversity.

    I use google translate because speak only russian)
    Now I'm doing a rework of old units. And it seems to take a very impressive amount of time, looking at my crooked hands that created all this in the past.

    I would say that your hands weren't that crooked, as you think - after first iteration of Polish Infantry (the one on English textures) everything was very well made, because animations weren't touched much, but the work with textures and models themselves were good. They were very similar to HerrDave's initial models, that's why they were very good in mix. I want to say that you did a very well job over these 1.5 years, without them I probably never would even sit at some of my maps. Big thanks for your work.
    Hello. Any news about ecoharmer and other fantastical units?

    I'm thinking what to do with him. About others i have nothing to say.

    sovok
    I suggest to release him as separate model if you don't know what to do with him.
    Where can I find images of the military uniforms of all countries of all times? I'm a little tired of the constant searches in Google.
    Warning: shitty english alert

    I really want to change the texture for the M3 and M5 (AA), but because of the bad texture of the American vehicles, I do not know what to do, except to change textures, but then I will have to make a version of the already-made vehicles with a new texture (at best, only for the Yankees.), because if you use it with all the other vehicles, the Yankees vehicles will have tanks with a curve texture.

    I don't even know how Dave and Sami will react to this. Changing the geometry of the model and changing the color are quite different things. But to be honest, I have already tried this: I change American and British tanks textures to Soviet textures. But I probably won't post this. At least separately. Maybe i can throw them into a already-made collection just for the needs of the people. But it's looks pretty cool.

    I will try to make a different texture for American vehicless purely for test purposes.
    I made models on the theme of the Cold War and thought "What type of units can still be made"? Some kind of guided weapon? The only thing I came up with was an flak trooper.

    Ohoho, this is gonna be fun.
    Hello. Are you plan to create american versions of your Soviet Land-Lease Vehicles?
    Syczewski
    Syczewski
    About this... The textures of American vehicles do not look very good and it is difficult to make a nice model with them. But I would like to do, yes.
    Hello, can I ask? Are you planning to create models of the Serbs and Italians of WW1?

    Простите за то, что побеспокоил. Просто уточнил. Ничего не прошу, просто вдруг. Для доработки старой карты как раз не хватает только сербов и итальянцев... И удачи. У вас очень хорошие модели.
