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

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.

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.
