Hi Nick
Very good work !
The helmets are grey or green please and to brightly in relation to the vehicles ! Do you use my textures for this obj's ? Can you show a big info card with some NVA units - possible the Motschützen or an tank in 45% view ?
I thinks in this wise we can produce all modern war units - I can send you the obj's for all possible modern units - and BTW also for all WW2 units , alltogether one hundert different. Let us say - every day - a new infantry unit !

@Hblack :
Ha, ok, I guess you're certain for the helmets? .. I make it... based on this document:
Can you produce other models with different poses? I want a soldier kneeling, firing his AK-47, and some heavy weapons AT-4, Sagger, RPD ....
As for textures, no, I could not use yours, I need a UV mapping in dds format, and I have not found a way to do it with Poser.... I do not know enough about this software should I really study it ... but I have not much time for now ...
@Massi :
For shadows, I actually load my 3D models directly within Photoshop Extended 3D,
and I set the shadows, the light .... ect ....
but ... it is possible to do this manually in Photoshop,
on a separate layer , and play with the opacity ...

I solved it.
thanks Mike
I make the shadow like this:
mini turorial
I magic select the shape (sodier-tank etc. ..) -> open a new layer -> fill black in selection -> stretch the shape (thin shadows) -> I reduce the opacity to 75% -> Merge layers in PNG .
Et voilà, le jeux son fait ! drop shadow served hot hot

I'm using the same way to make the shadow~~and I guess the original opacity is 50%~~

Hi, I think they are using Poser for 3D or Maya, and then Photoshop.
Correct me if I'm wrong.

OK - an fast way is - I produce all infantry units yet - without correct textures they locking bad in big unit cards !
You can do all vehicles - I do the infantry - OK ?

Yes, no problem, at first, if you can make the infantry unit, it is better ...
