Guess, the problem solved by the system administrator.. appriciate that~!

I am really touched by the credit, and I find those guys amazing as always. While there are more than RI can accommodate, some of them are definitely going in. Can we expect some later Frenchies as well in the near future?

BTW, I understand why you went with the beret, and it is just as appropriate for WW2, but I found winterized Adrian helmet to be quite distinctive for WW2 Alpins. A very good call on Cyborg anims for the stormtroopers; I'll now have to retool all of the ones RI uses to it.

Ooh, goodies! Lots of it will go straight into RI. If you care to spoil, what's next? And any plans to revisit the civs you already did for WW1 material?

A slight nitpick, if I may. I love the effort you put into era- and nation-appropriate guns, but many of them look like toys in-game; I feel it's because you base them on realistic proportions - but at the game scale, they have to be slightly bulkier to be properly visible and look good. It's especially visible with the barrels, which are much thinner than any of Civ 4 vanilla weapons (and most other user-created ones). One has to remember that Civ 4 visual style is slightly cartoonish (not as much as Civ 6, but definitely not fully realistic either).

I'm planning to do Germans but honestly, not sure when would it be..
and, will add the ww1 units to the civs, too.

'many of them look like toys in-game': yes, you're right and was kinda too late when I realized.
I'll fix the scales of the weapons later and the camo patterns would be adjusted, too.

 

[kine100]

The firearms are here.

The scales of barrels are not yet fixed version.

 

[Walter Hawkwood]

I'll fix the scales of the weapons later and the camo patterns would be adjusted, too.

Another thing to consider is that weapons in general are too thin, sometimes to the point of looking like 2D cutouts in-game, especially the bigger stuff like LMGs. This one is easy to fix; I found that simply increasing the width by ~1.5x leads to something that feels better.

WW1 infantry and light infantry

WW1 storm troopers and machine gun
storm troopers did not put the body amour for mobility but put on them for characterizing.

Just amazing!
Walter has already asked this question, but I want to clarify. Is it worth waiting for models for the first World War for old releases in the near future, or is it new civilizations that are in priority?
And also, have you ever thought about cavalry? Until about the middle of the Second World War, it was a very significant addition to the armies of Europe.

 

[kine100]

Thanks for the feedback.

Honestly, I never thought about the cavalries,
and just made plan for them after done the modern German units: found the references show they're not so much differnt from infantries except some gears and weapons, too.

Actually, I'm more interested in cold war and modern information ages
Below are my brief plans.

for WW1 and missing units, like paratroopers of: Russian, UK, US would be started after done WW2 German units.

Further plans:
After done the modern Germans and European WW1 and 2 cavalries, going to the conflict in the far east to make the balance.
then going back to Europe to add missed countries may start from Italian units.

Just hope those would done shortly.. but it never be sure...

Is this for some mod you are working on or something or just units for their own sake? Either way great work, I am just curious.

Thanks for your comment
I'm not modding but just care ww2 style infantries and Vietman war style US marines with AK47 walking on the ground while the modern mbts, sthealth fighters and aegies destroyers are in the role..
The units I made still not able to fade-out after they're fell down though,

 

[PPQ_Purple]

Units not fading out is usually caused by the material / alpha modifiers not being set right or the object name not being the same as in the original model. As in, if the original model calls its infantry "editable mesh" you have to name your model the same thing or else the animator just won't pick it up. So if you want the fade animations to work right you have to:

1. Open the default civ unit whose animations you want to use and your unit both in two instances of nifscope.
2. In your unit select each of the parts you made custom and rename them to match the names of the equivalent parts in the original unit. If there is no equivalent just use the name of the main body. That works 99% of the time.
   
3. In your unit select each of the parts you made custom and delete their material and alpha properties.
4. Select the equivalent parts in the original unit and copy the above two modifiers into your unit.

Take for example this fix I made for your german light infantry. I did the following:

1. Renamed the human model (you called it "EarlyWW1.00:0") to "Infantry".
2. Renamed the rifle model (you called it "Plane") to "Editable Poly".
3. Copied the material and alpha properties from the original infantry onto these two.

And now the fading works.
