Go to the materials lab and apply it as a texture map :)

What shield exactly you are using ?

Try to use another shield. The Buffalo Shield does have some troubles with texture applying.

Possible workaround: create a Square primitive, apply your image as a transparency, and then parent it to the front of the shield. If you stick it very close it might look as though the design is actually on the shield itself. This will only work against a flat surface though - if the shield is curved then the design will look like it's floating in front of it.

Looks like that shield is curved :(

plot do you have a flat shield? or know where i can get one?

The easiest way to get a flat shield is to use a primitive - a squashed cylinder probably. That's how I made the shields for most of my units. It's easy to apply a texture to. I don't know if it would suit this unit but you can always try.

how do i make a flat cylinder with poser?

Poser->Props->Primitives

Then squish it.

ok how do i turn it into a prop

It is a prop. Just parent it to his forearm. :)

oh duh :lol:

:lol: I can't wait to see your progress :D

Alternately, I can make you a shield if you have a picture of the type you want and apply the image for you.

thanks for all the help guys

To make the red civ colored, just change the civ color in the palette from blue to red.

and im making more mordor orcs so Bjornlo i would love it if you could make me some shields

Great work bigdog. Thank you for helping us out with units. It's too bad you can't get that eye on the Buffalo Warrior shield. Maybe you could use it for an Isengard orc? :)

Yeah, ok. Very simple to make. I will see if I can get to them soonish.
