Nice work! Did you model and skin/animate these yourself or are they retextured kits from another faction?

i mixed kit parts from canadian (shoulder plates and backpack for example) and german kits (helmet, radio, backpack and PZF 3) and did rifle grenades by myself. Skinning performed from zero (with some look at already existing kits). All animations are just .tweak file copy of canadian bodies as i understand (btw body on the screenshot is exported japanese). Bodies are mix of canadian bodies and chinese faces.

About textures... i am using chinese head textures right now, should i copy and rename them as japanese or just change the path to chinese head textures?

Mostly meant skinning as in making sure for example the grenades stick to the belt etc. Skinning/bone management. It is a good skill to learn and master. Not many people can do it Would be really cool if you could learn it further so we could update some of our kits in the future as well if you are interested in helping out with that For example adding the right AT weapons on the back etc is something we could do for some factions already I think.

Type 91 AA has two types of aiming. One is a visual tracking by a bare eye like Stinger, the other is image recognition by the visible light camera. There is a small screen that displays the video obtained by the CCD sensor of the missile seeker.

It has never been made public officially or unofficially. But...

According to this twitter user who claims to be the former JGSDF tank crew, the sight of Type 90 TK and Type 89 IFV looks like this.

Thank you a lot!



UPD with kits: finally figured out what's the purpose of bones around the belt, fixed backpack prone animation (backpack was clipping through soldiers back) fixed Stinger belt (now it moves less creepy)

PS:
is MENTION stops working?

good is this faction still working or was it abandoned like the others? I ask why I found the faction interesting like others who unfortunately never finished

PS: if there is a grammatical error or some flaw, it is that I do not have enough knowledge to speak English, for which I am using the google translator

Haven’t heard any progress since few months now... hope it’s still going on this faction and what may comes is really promising!
