Gary's Poser Unit Creation Thread and Workshop

[RedAlert]

I like the guy on the right.

Great stuff as usual, Gary. I'm following with interest.

 

[Redback]

Enlarge the helmet m8!

 

[General 666]

The right one. Definitively !

 

[Ozymandias]

On the right: better contrast.

One thing about your German WWII soldiers always throws me off "somewhat", is that you never use the characteristic "Knobelbecher" boots. I think your SS Panzergrenadier would benefit from those boots...

Weren't the Knobelbecher boots more often for parades and officers? Judging from my osprey series on the German army it looks like most of the regular combat troops mainly wore shoes with gaiters or something along those lines.

 

[TopGun]

In the later years of the war, the Waffen-SS did wear laced boots and baggy pants, but standard issue to the Wehrmacht throughout the war, and for the Waffen-SS in the early years were "Knobelbecher" boots.

 

[General 666]

TopGun is right ,Knobelbecher was the ultimative standard. The gaiters belongs to additional accessories.

Just some doodling here, tentatively thinking of doing a unit:

A couple more versions:

 

[BadKharma]

I see you toned down the beret, I think it looks better that way at large scale but how is it at civ scale?

 

[General 666]

Looks very well.
I take all of them.

Not sure yet. Haven't done any scale animations so far. I think andrewmarley is looking for a Russian with a blue beret...I think.

A couple more versions:

wow!

you really missed me, Gary



.

 

[Gary Childress]

More doodling. I have so many different guns, so little time on my hands...

 

[Goldflash]

Also, HI GARY. HOW HAVE YOU BEEN.

 

[Gary Childress]

OK. The moment of truth...

Which one looks better? The one on the left has been sharpened using photoshop, the one on the right has not.

My preference is for the sharpened one. To me it blends in better with the Firaxis units in the game.

 

[Ares de Borg]

Nice work! I like the right one better (not sharpened) because it blends better with the terrain and looks less artificial.

Do you consider making a Russian infantry with helmet, too?

 

[MeteorPunch]

I like number 2 because it blends better with your units.

 

[tom2050]

I like #2. I don't know what program Firaxis used to make it's units, because the real only difference is that their units are not anti-alias'd on the edges (you can see the blocky pixels around the edges); whereas programs we use they anti-alias the edges of the unit slightly with the magenta background.

I think the unit #2 is like Firaxis units just without the blended edges (which I wasn't able to easily achieve even in 3ds, and it made everything look worse without slight edge blend). Plus Firaxis units didn't have much detail on them.
