Allright some progress updates.
First off Imperial Japanese armoured vehicles:
The Type 97 Chi-Ha and Type 97 Chi-Ha Shinhoto have full shading and just need a generic green version. The Type 1 Ho-Ni I needs a bit more work although the chassis is directly ripped from the Chi-Ha. The Type 3 Chi-Nu is far from done.
The good thing about Japanese medium armour from this period is that there is a whole lot of recurring elements.
Basically except for prototypes and the like almost everything is derived from the Type 97 Chi-ha or Type 3 Chi-nu.
The Chi-ha can be turned into a Type 1 Ho-ni (I and II), Type 4 Ho-Ro, Type 2 Ho-I, Chi-ha Shinhoto (as shown above) and 120mm Chi-Ha without too much effort and I might have forgotten some prototypes.
Also it is pretty darn close to the Type 1 Chi-He in appearance to the point where converting it pretty much is just adjusting a few texture elements on a Chi-Ha Shinhoto.
Together with the Type 3 Chi-Nu (which is the base for the Type 3 Ho-Ni III) and an upcoming Type 89 I-Go it basically should cover all Japanese medium armour and a large number of derivative vehicles.
The Type 3 Chi-Nu is also a good starting point for the Type 4 Chi-To as it is largely similar visually except for a lengthened chassis with 7 roadwheels instead of 6.
Chances are though I would go for a Type 5 Chi-Ri instead as it is visually more distinct Chances are however that I can take texture elements from the Type 3 Chi-Nu as there is still a good number of similarities. The front is largely identical and given that the Type 3 Chi-Nu model is the one with the improved main cannon large parts of the turret can probably be recycled too.
Light tanks, tankettes and armoured cars are more uniques though so once I get to those chances are it will be a lot more work.
Also both the updated Leopard 2A6 and Merkava IVm are largely done. The old Leopard 2A6 is there for comparison.
The ZTZ-99A and ZTZ-96B are also more or less ready except for dirt which I have not decided yet if they get or not.
(Looking at the ZTZ-96B I might adjust the turret brightness a bit though but that is just messing with a single layer)
Likewise this PLAGF ZBL-09 just needs a generic green version and again maybe also some dirt to be ready which should not be too hard.
Yes the basket will be transparent but I accidentally forgot to set it to render the texture with transparency.
It will also have a ZTL-11 Friend in the form of a ZTL-11 at some point. It is however not nearly as far along. In general the Snow leopard chassis can be converted into a lot of different vehicles and the Texture map is designed to allow for such conversions.
