If anyone is interested in doing military renders, it appears that some new free stuff has appeared on ShareCG...for M3.
US Ranger for M3
British Comando for M3

I was hoping that the military clothing for M3 (links above) would make a good XD outfit for the Nursoda village. The US Ranger is a great outfit, but it loads with M3, the same way James does when he loads with the casual clothing outfit, so I didn't see a way to separate the two. The character would be great for animations, since posing would be less problematic, and there are good, asymmetric controls in the face. Here's a quick render:
So, I did XD conversions of old M3 military clothing...Desert Soldier and Miltary Mike, so that the Nursoda village would have military wardrobe options.

Good morning Linda...haha 
Yep, digging out some oldies for a few chuckles.
I've found that M3 clothing makes a fairly good XD conversion, so I look for whenever M3 outfits end up in free stuff. I was actually going somewhere with the military theme. There was an old product on DAZ years ago, called Army Men Action, that turned M3 Desert Soldier and Military Mike into toy army men (you know, the little plastic green men), like were in the original Toy Story movie. I was going to see if I could do that with Nursoda characters...similar to the chess set project). It will take awhile to replace all the mats, and convert the clothing to as many Nursoda XD characters as I can....we'll see if it works

Just skimming through this thread for the past couple of days downloading all the goodies. Thank you so much!! I used to work a lot with Nursoda's and Smay's cute little characters. Finding new things for them is always a joy.

You're certainly welcome...and jump right in and share your renders I've been experimenting with Pitterbill face morphs, so hope you found them all...page 328 of this thread is when we got started fairly steady with Nursoda stuff, when Elynda joined Again, make yourself at home and part of the gang And if I remember correctly, Smay did Gosha...and I've used that character also.

More military stuff...I haven't tested this freebie, but if I'm understanding it correctly, it's the German staff car like was used on Hogan's Heroes.
G4 Offroader
...and a Military Jeep
...WWII Army Wagon
...Army base
...Military Bike
...V4 WWII uniform
...and a rare .obj, The Gates of Auschwitz, and a 3ds version of the camp

...and this was the marble chess table that I used for the Nursoda chess game, if I remember correctly.
...and finally, for Trek fans, some TOS Transporter FX Effects that I've not seen before, newer than what I've been using. Apparently it is a light emission mat for VP's Transporter Effects Prop. Cool There's also a TNG Transporter FX version.

LindaB, aka Elynda...I keep forgetting to ask you, what version of Poser are you running? or any other favorite 3D software?
Just was wondering if you could do Poser 11 superfly, or are you using Poser 10 or earlier?
I was using Poser Pro 2014 (which is Poser 10) when I did the chess set, so I used TheDuckPond silver and gold mats on the chess pieces, in 5 Poser Shaders or Mats (A)
Time for a nap...see you folks later on

The other chess board that I used, besides the marble set, was Mike's free chess set.
...and here's the Marble Table set...reminded me of the two old men competing at chess in the Pixar short, Geri's Game

Oh great...so you can use all the new Poser 11 goodies I didn't want to keep mentioning them if you couldn't use them....so you and I are on the same page, and Janet is using PP11 also. I'm using Poser Pro 11, Vue 6 Esprit, Carrara Pro 8.5, Hexagon, and Silo Pro 2.5...occasionally DAZ Studio 4.11, and other small utilities to fill in the compatibility gaps
I tried importing the Gates of Auschwitz...and as with most models from high end software, it has to be imported into Poser 11 at 10% in order to size within the Construct dome properly. The ominous German phrase across the frame of the entrance is translated "work sets you free".

I grabbed this from an older post of mine, about my favorite P11 goodies:
Thought I'd share how I was getting the darker skies in Poser 11...I like to use materials for the construct dome. My favorites skies are by seachnasaigh called Construct skydome textures, 8192 x 2048, free on ShareCG. It's a large download, but worth the wait
I've already mentioned that I use superfly materials for any fire glow or light emissions, and my favorite sets are VB SuperShaders for Poser 11 Superfly and also D3D Superfly Materials. Without these advanced shaders, it would unlikely be possible for me to do any special effects like fire flame in Poser, so just giving credit where it's due
TheDuckPond silver and gold metal shaders mentioned in an earlier post, #6914, are for firefly renders.
