2) would you like to share your 3DS model, or the vectorized flat-folded result (the SVG, right?) ? I could use an AT-43: UNA version of it (so i could use the "white" vector drawing), and try a thing i have in mind (and here's when the 3D model could help). Why not both? And some .psds that can be opened in GIMP for good measure! [Click here]The 3DS files are for each of the different parts - the master file has a lot of prototypes that I want to pretend don't exist and the file used for renders has decided to corrupt itself... I should probably warn you, since starting this I've had a whole load of computer problems, so, it might be cursed. Or I have a terrible computer. Maybe both... most likely the latter, though.

>I create the models in wings 3D, which I export as 3DS to Google Sketchup, then use flattery to unfold and export as an SVG, which I convert to png with Inkscape, then do the textures in Serif Photoplus, then use Pageplus to convert them to .pdf. (I don't know if Serif are even still a thing. I got them about 10 years ago and I'm too stubborn to try anything else now that I've spent money on them! )oh, it's realy hard technological process I love this miniatures! >Hi Tomoko. I'm happy to see you. Ciao ( from Italy )Hello Giorgio! Glad to see you too))) >For card models ( but I do not know exactly this progrma ) there is Pepakura Designer ( www.tamasoft.co.jp/pepakura-en/ ) but this needs to work with other programs ( Metasequoia, Wavefront, AutoCAD 3D, 3DS Max, Lightwave, Google Earth4 ... ) - link: www.makeuseof.com/tag/secret-desi....odels-pepakura/ >If you are interested in Pepakura Designer license, send me an e-mail or a pm here, please.
Thank you) I unfortunately do not know how to work in 3D programs, I do my 3D models in 2D programs. This makes it difficult to create models. I really want to learn some 3D program, but I have no way to do it

I really want to learn some 3D program, but I have no way to do it I find the best way is just to grab a modelling program and practise making things in it. You'll probably end up with a lot of stuff you aren't happy with at first, or accidentally do something that leaves a good model unusable, but, in my experience, making these mistakes is the best way to learn! ;D

It's interesting to learn the steps different artist take to create there models. Everyone kind of has there own style and method and all of which have great results. ;D Oh also echelon I sent a pm to ya, lol.

Really liking these models, they have good clean lines and convey a lot of character but due to the easy shapes should be quick to build (even at 15/18mm). That was something I really liked about Jims Wolverine . Not sure if you want some more camo patterns but the openclipart library has 5 that you can grab for free and in the Public Domain which saves the sweat around can or I cant I use it questions I usually run through in my own head.... openclipart.org/search/?query=camoKeep up the great work

Those are nice patterns, but they're more the sort of thing you'd expect uniforms to be made out of - since vehicles camouflage is most effective at longer ranges, patterns tend to be both simpler and larger - similar to how details on smaller scaled models can be made more noticeable with extra highlighing, just in reverse. (For example, this sticks out like a sore thumb, while this doesn't)

I guess if you can afford the Audi, you can afford to make a mockery of it ... LOL.

true true but don't forget there vectors so you can scale up unlimited with no blur and simply use a sub-segment models look great, now i just need a spare few days to build a few....

I'm not dead! I swear! Just kind of... disappeared for a while. Lots of stuff going on around here, and I haven't been able to put as much time into these projects as I'd like to. But now I'm back! With a vengeance. Not sure who I'd be revengening against. I'll be honest, I just like the saying. Personal crisis, maybe? Sounds about right. I shall have my revenge on my own personal crisis, and the best revenge is to finish the projects that it's been distracting me from!But enough ranting, you know how the cupola slots have been pretty useless for the past 7 months? Well, now they aren't, BEHOLD!(Figures and terrain for scale purposes only, you'll have to excuse the tabletop, it's still a WIP!) This new PDF contains a bunch of new bits for your vehicles, to the measure of: -Heavy Machine Gun RWS (2 included, pictured on the front vehicle) -Minigun RWS (pictured on the rear vehicle) -Grenade Machine Gun RWS -Radar System -4 keep back signs -2 medical signs Download Links:4SharedBut that's not all! I've also finalized the geometry for the Castor MBT, as well as a completely new utility vehicle, the multitruck. (Front, from left to right, Ceres VI, Castor I, Castor II, the APC and assault gun haven't been named yet)

Love that trucks! But being me the worst modeller in the world, i wonder if, instead of that "blocky" nose, you could not make it "trapezoidal" (by "joning" the central part with the outer corners).... it could be much simpler to build. Anyway, i like all your vehicles

The "nose" is separate, I'll texture the grill on the cab and make it an optional piece.

As mentioned in the Multitruck, would anyone be able to revive the images in this thread?

I'll just leave this here: imgur.com/a/vOlMAThere was a 4th vehicle (a superheavy that was even less finished than the MBT) that I don't have any renders of. The models should still be on my old PC, but that isn't set up right now; I could get them, if anyone's interested?

Here's the models, 4shared seems not to delete my files, so I guess that's a thing they've got going for them (then again, I used photobucket because they didn't delete my files, and mega because they said they wouldn't delete my files, and yet, here we are...) Click me!You'll need wings3d to open the models. There's A LOT of stuff that either got canned or not finished there, so... have fun, I guess? (Oh man, there's even a Buratino style turret, wish I'd finished that... might have to have another crack at some of these...) Here's a quick render of the superheavy, since I don't think I ever released any pictures of it? You'll need wings3d to open the models, by the way. There are some 3ds files, but they're just individual bits for unfolding.
