GaryChildress -> RE: Gary's New Graphics Thread (1/30/2021 11:12:01 PM)

Bumped per for Lion of Judah's request.

Re-read the entire thread. Still great stuff!

Wondering, what were you using to render the graphics. Can you explain the process and mention the programs you used?



Ormand -> RE: Gary's New Graphics Thread (2/10/2021 4:47:47 AM)

I think that he used Poser for the pics with people. This is a great option, but does have a bit of a learning curve, mostly to pose. I think it used fairly extensively in animation as well. More importantly, the bodies need props like uniforms, etc. I looked into this a few years ago, and this is what discouraged me the most from doing anything. There are a few free props around the web, but not enough many to fill all the needs for various peoples, etc. Thus, one needs to make them with a 3D program. But, not only that, in order to use them as a prop on a body, there is an additional step to make them conform to the body. I never got that far, and gave up.

For the vehicles, I think he used a fairly simplistic 3D model program and then imported and rendered them in Poser.

For the aircraft I made, I used Blender, which is a free, but rather sophisticated 3D model program with a beautiful render engine. It has a steep learning curve as well. But, it is not a great choice, near as I can tell for "animating" people.

GaryChildress?

Are you the same GaryChildress from CFC? If so you are awesome! To this day I still use many of the units you created for CivIII: Conquests in my homemade scenarios.

I'm known as Moff Jerjerrod over at CFC.

If you are not the same GaryChildress from CFC I must say your work here is impressive but I do see it has the same signature style of Gary over at CFC. LOL

Hi Moff Jerjerrod, yes, it's me. I've also made quite a few free props on Renderosity for Poser users.

Hi, Ernieschwitz. Ormand is correct. I used Poser for pretty much all the renders. I have an extensive library of conforming clothing and props. I used Wings3D (freeware) to create some of the props that I couldn't find elsewhere. Also, all the vehicles and non-human subformation graphics were created using Wings3D and then imported into Poser for rendering.



lion_of_judah -> RE: Gary's New Graphics Thread (6/7/2021 7:07:57 PM)

Gary, was curious if you have any plans on making modern images on the scale of your world war 2 one's.



GaryChildress -> RE: Gary's New Graphics Thread (6/9/2021 2:53:12 PM)

At this point, I don't think I'll be modding any new graphics for ATG, at least not for now. Maybe in the future. Not sure yet.



lion_of_judah -> RE: Gary's New Graphics Thread (6/11/2021 5:27:34 PM)

Gary, Ernie or Erich, if I want to use this image of modern Russian infantry, which program would be best to use? Thanks

ernieschwitz -> RE: Gary's New Graphics Thread (6/11/2021 5:33:28 PM)

Depends on what you mean by use. Basically any jpg, png or bmp can be used as a unit graphic. The most limiting factor in using a picture is it's dimensions. Now if you want to manipulate it, then that is a whole different ball game. ...



lion_of_judah -> RE: Gary's New Graphics Thread (6/11/2021 6:09:45 PM)

how would I go about doing that, and making it look 3D like what Gary has done or say like osprey images of troops
