WW2 Red Army Infantry

[ww2commander]

Heres my reskin of a ww1 infantryman into a Red Army soldier.

The model is the ww1 soldier with a resized cossack head (I dont take credit for this as I found the unit in the WW2MOD )

I have reskinned the model to (as closely as possible) reflect the red army winter jacket they wore in the later part of the war. I wanted to add a leather strap against one side of his chest but the model skin does not allow for this representation.

I would love to have included this unit with the Russuan PPSh sub machine gun but I cant get the animation to work as I only have NIF viewer to edit units with

Eventually I or someone else can add an PPSh version to this thread down the track

Good job! That hat is awesome!

For some odd reason, I like and noticed how you reskinned the pants and boots on this unit... I noticed that before I even realized the head.
I can't help you with the machine gun though.

 

[ww2commander]

Actually the only thing I reskinned was the shirt and head. The boots and pants were a perfect match to the picture I was referncing. See my mod thread.

Thanks for the feedback

You're doing great ww2commander. I just noticed the flag must be centered down.

 

[asioasioasio]

Very nice indeed
I agree another version with PPSh would be also nice (or existing one with Moisine Riffle)

 

[ww2commander]

Hope it also find a warm home in the WW2 1939 mod asioasioasio.

If I cant get the PPSh to work properly, can someone with the right software take a look at it for me?

I think I just found another great unit for my new WWII mod. Keep up the good work!

 

[ww2commander]

snipperrabbit....thats for pointing out the flag centering.

Its now fixed

 

[asioasioasio]

Yeah it will find way to the mod - i'll make moisne for this occasion
With great help from GarretSidzaka wich has knowledge of reboning units i'll try to mix your unit so it will shot from PPsh (using marine animation)

 

[ww2commander]

Thanks for that asioasioasio

Also, I have not given up on the airfield idea, I am just very random when it comes to what I choose to work on....I keep doing different things and never sitting long enough to finish one thing completely....you should see my to-do-list

[MaxRiga]

I am not much of an expert on the workings of unit files but the only thing I can tell that is different is I dont remember adding this line in my xml file. I have no reference to the ww1 infantry model.

<SHADERNIF>Art/Units/RedArmyInfantry/ww1_soldier_fx.nif</SHADERNIF>

I just cut and pasted it in from the WW2MOD and it showed up fine first time

thx for reply
i've changed it on just Art/Units/RedArmyInfantry/redarmy.nif and it's ok now
just wondering, why ww1_soldier_fx.nif file was inside of ur red army soldier folder then !?

 

[ww2commander]

The person who originally did it used the ww1 infantry body and put the cossack head on it.

I just got the idea to shrinks the head and reskin the uniform to look closer to the soviet padded winter uniform.
