ITALIAN WW2 "heavy" tank P26-40

[KrugerPritz]

The unit is a re-shape of the original M13-40 made by Splinter13 with the help of Asioasioasio (who helped me too), with the supervison of Wolfshanze and The_Coyote (for The_Coyote: sorry I was unable to make uv of the turret better than this).
Animations included.

it´s not such a big problem, it´s almost not visible in game, the tank looks also good with this small issue

Okay... this tank could really use recentering... it's sitting fairly far forward in its' circle. Needs to be backed up a bit!

to me it appears like the image... the other tanks ar a little forward respect to the 2 soldiers (the 2 soldiers comes from the mod I use) instead P26 is a little back

I would think you realize that on your PC you use the very uncommon thing of adding infantry standing to the rear of the tank... 99.9% of the users who will download this model won't be doing that and the tank itself is what should be centered.

The national flag and the selection circle is the measure of what is centered... even in your own screenshot (which is at a 45% angle and down-low... I hope that's not the angle you use to determine centering), you can see the back of the tank inside the circle and the front is sticking out.

To properly view a centering job, you zoom out and above, and compare the national flag and selection circle to your model, as well as comparing it to other properly-centered like-units (in this case properly centered tanks).

As you can clearly see, your tank (especially sans infantry, which is not normal) is not centered... it needs to be moved back.

Ok! Now I've understood. I hope it could be an easy thing to do... I will see.

Nice unit Now i finally replace that fake model that appears in 1939 for P26.

@ Wolfschanze I notieced that mayority of units is not centered (in fact they are centered, but in comparisson with other units - one are moved little bit back and other are a little bit moved forward. I don't count units moved to much to the left or right because this is not acceptable). The same goes for planes and ships.

It's not big problem i think (much worst is weird scalling of models). And can be fixed in nifviewer in nifskope (tough i have to much units in omd to bother about it).

Depends... I usually let minor off-centers slide, but the "worst offenders" I've had corrected in my mod with various help... in fact, I've had a lot of centering problems with planes, ships and tanks corrected for a lot of the models in my mod. I've also had other issues fixed (units too low that are "stuck" in the ground... like the Polish 10TP tank that nobody corrected for years). If it's too far off-center or incorrectly positioned I've been on a crusade to get them all fixed. The P26/40 I considered far enough off-center to get fixed.

Maybe I'm picky, but to me, little things like centering count towards a quality model!

Wolf, look at this, i've used the new pzIII of Asio to try to recenter... now it's a little back, but it hasn't the dummy of the cannon... in the image the recentered is on the centre the old is on the right... the nif is p26

Thanks Kruger... I'll check it out... also, you might want to change/reduce your interface scale on the P26... that way you can see the whole tank in the bottom-left image, instead of zooming-in on the front wheel!

thanks i've seen it... Sometimes i have trouble to set the right scale of unit, to don't make errors with nifs and kfm, and the interface scale is the last thing that i see. anyway... i'd like a perfect view too.

Looked good on my end! All is good.
