Hey guys

Just want to show how the 3D models of HnM3 looks like up close. Here is the British 1st Foot Guards.

Looks nice.
Although the hair doesn't seem to work quite right when seen from the side...
Any chance of a couple of screenshots more?
Perhaps a small AAR... [:)]

Thanks, nah the hair is just exagerated a bit due to these actual 3D models being so small in the game. They are rendered as 2D sprites in the game.

And here is the 1st Foot Guards Grenadier

What's about your swedens?[8|]

You got a PM prinz heinrich

I`m curious, since the end result is supposed to be a 2D sprite, was it debated to just paint the 2D sprite straight off the bat.

I made 3D models instead and rendered them as sprites. This way all lighting and shadows is correct for all angles and I don´t have to draw every single frame of animation

Alright, if it`s going to be animated, then that explains it pretty well.  But now you got me curious on some other things.  What modeler was used, and do you have any wireframes to show... haha!

Yes sure, I have wireframes. I use 3D Studio Max 5.1 and Photoshop 7 for textures. I can post more pics of other 3D models for those that are already in the HnM3 game that is to be released.

Here is Prussian 3D Models too and two Russian

Looks good - how about an ingame screenshot...? [:)]

Ok here is some wireframes of 3D models one for british grenadier and one for Prussian cuirassier.
