Also will be purchasing Zbrush and a tablet to sculpt very soon. Zbrush is pretty much a requirement in order to sculpt the character models of the various factions.

Can i reccomend a huion tablet ? Its the best bang for buck tablets on the market now

@Bartender Sure I'll consider it.

Busy following tutorials on the new blender 2.8

Loving it already! 😱

Viewport shaders are better too.

oooh that looks sexy

Ja can't wait til I eventually get it into SQUAD

Going to be amazing ripping through SWAPO and FAPLA troops with the dual .50's

I'd also like hostile drive damage activated so you can drive over enemy troops and kill them that way. Of course as for friendlies its best just like it is now otherwise I can imagine tonnes of griefing going on.

I also photoshopped this kill of mine. Would be lekker if SQUAD had the same blood decals as Post Scriptum. I know they don't want to introduce dismemberment but some blood decals wouldn't hurt 😉

agreed mate

Sorry guys just spamming with multi-color pics. I've always wanted this feature to come to Blender since seeing it in 3Ds Max.

It helps you visualize what parts are separate meshes

They've removed layers and replaced it with collections which I'll have to get used to... As the Ratel 90 turret was in a different layer. Now it's in a different collection. I assume I'll get used to it fairly quickly I hope!

So the Ratel 90 turret is in one of the greyed out collections but I have no idea how to get it to show.

Two things. Here is the fix for the collection.

And here is the fix for any object inside the collection that still is not showing up.

Hope it helps

Thanks @PetraCephas it worked.

It'll take some getting used to though.

Worth it

are youi planning on adding the antennas to the top of the turret

Yep

okay cool

i havent asked but are you planning on adding the olifant MBT ?

well the mk1 and 2

Yep Olifant will be modeled at some point both the Mk I and Mk II

Ratels will also have their respective Mk's right now I'm modeling the Mk I

ahh i cant wait

So I'll be able to add the MK I to the earlier operations while the Mk II to later operations

Same with the Casspir.

yup

I'm looking forward to the ZT3 that'll be fun!

the ingwe missile ?

Yep

Will be the scariest thing on the battlefield as it cut through T-55's like nothing

Of course they'll only be on a few maps set in 1988

But the SANDF will have them on all maps

i wonder if the eland will be accurate on the battlefield seeing that they knocked out more powerfull t55s

Well I'll make sure they'll be able to take them out at close range from the rear and sides
