Any chance you have plans for a PzKpfW IV Ausf. J?

It would be awesome to see the proper mesh skirts on that puppy.
Glad my tutorials helped!

@ eliwood:
Plans are to first finish the heavy tanks, then onto medium armor using the same pattern. So yes, I'd love to try to recreate the "mesh" skirts.
@Erguvan:
Thanks!
@Ordo_31:
Hasn't been released yet because I've only completed the Panther. Hopefully in the next week or so I can get them all done.
@CasTroy:
Thank you my friend!
btw, do you think these would look better with a ton of muck and mud on them, or leave them somewhat "clean" as I have it now?

I fancy this idea. Those skins would look much more realistic and battle-proved. I would definitely consider muck and mud.

Time willing, I'll get a chance to work on the Puma and halftracks today.
Also, I tried messing with the normal map/alpha channel to see if I could make mesh side skirts for the panzer IV, but have had zero luck. Anyone have ideas, or point me the right direction as how to make parts of a model transparent? Or is this not possible considering we can't modify the model itself?

Personally I've mixed things up a little and made the camouflage on some tanks look faded as though in was painted on a while ago and has started to fade away. For example my Stugs look extremely faded almost washed back to the yellow drab underneath. Whilst on my PIV's the colours are strong and quite defined.

I had a suggestion for your Ambush skins:
Try changing the attributes so that they apply to both german and west_german races at the same time.
Then, you would only need one Skin Pack. It seems like both Skin Packs currently include both sets of skins, anyways.
Just a thought!

From now on I will do just that so people don't have to d/l multiple HUGE files for something that could be released as one.
I feel a bit embarrassed I did it that way, but I'm learning as I go...
Thanks again for the input! Your contributions are much appreciated.

These skins look 100 times nicer than the ones Relic makes.
Seriously, damn nice.
