Hello, and welcome.

Thank you for your interest in the thread.

I believe these troops have been done in other mod packs - is there something specific missing in those versions or that you are looking for?

[Pdguru]

Didn't hear back from you, Beorix, so would these work?

Fantastic corsican tirailleurs! Mr Pdguru, do you take a time to sleep?

Regarding my PM, what do you think about this colour/tone?

Hello, yes I am going to sleep now!

But I have not received your PM about the color (which I do like). You had best resend it to me.

Goodnight!

Hello Pdguru
thanks to hear me ,and you made them !
About other mods with Corsican tirailleurs ,yes ,they have already been done ,but not with this sort of uniform and shako ,rather in a Jäger/Tyroler way, if you see what i mean ? And i dont like at all.
The only thing that would be even greater ,if you can, is the shako plate ,which should be an eagle (silver)
But hey, on the pictures i provided ,there isnt always eagles on their shakos ,its just me ,who likes them lol.
Really thank you to make my prefered troops (they must be light infantry ,with good accuracy, strong morale ,and average melee .

AMAZING!

again..after the patience to create the 113°, he's back to a personal request...nice Dramasoldier dressing brown

MAYOR: wherever we'll write we'll always find at last, the searched reply

..we can say I'm truly inside the 113°, blessed by Pdgurian patience
honour is mine too. I appreciate a lot this place where being fair, polite and knowing respect is still a good way to communicate. this is the way I feel. these games make me often furious cause of technical issues and similar other tremendous things but finally here I find always a sort of peace)

[Pdguru]

Beorix - I will look to place an eagle on the shako. The lower cockade will remain, however - I think it gives a distinctive look to the unit.

Drama - your words bring a smile to my face. Thank you.

The Corsicans are fantastic
I was trying to make them myself
These are far better

[Pdguru]

Thank you, Agunter!

Here are the completed Corsicans with silver eagle on shako, officer (with alternative banded shako, belt and epaulettes), and rear view showing muddied shoes/pants and horn on coat tails:

[Centaure]

Great job Pd on the corsican, the new plate is definitely the right one

[DramaBelli]

fine art...this new year starts as the year before ends; rep is my way

[Beorix]

Perfect now. + rep !
Too bad that the aspect of the crossed brown leather straps looks like woven ones, they should look shiny ,but i guess its hardcoded ?
How did you plan to integrate the Corsican Tirailleurs : in your global mod or separately in a single pack ?
Thanks anyway for your nice job on them !

Congratulations Mr. Pdguru, I guess YOU have something to do with this success! In Spanish there is a saying..."por algo será".

Btw, did you recive my PM? ( Just Happy new year for you and your family. The colour/ tone was regarding Hungarian trousers) Send you +Rep for the Corsican Tirailleurs. Regards.

Thanks, Mayor.

Yes, I think the English version of that saying is true in many ways in life: " Everything happens for a reason".

I will look at the blue. What troop unit is it you have illustrated?

[Pdguru]

Beorix,

I have found that getting leather effects, especially if you want them to be polished or shiny, is tricky. It involves getting the balance just right between the diffuse file (the colors, shading etc), the normal file (surface texture) and gloss file (the reflective value of the surface). Shiny surfaces can end up looking like metal. This is especially tricky if you want a polished, but leather-like surface.

Below is about the closest I can get with time available - it has the core color, a leathery texture, and enough shine to make it different from the coat but not so shiny as to make it metallic:



What do you think?

[Centaure]

It looks like leather to me especially with the buckle, well done.
