For all who think that the generic sprite is to greenish, we have done an alternative set. download it at www.meinhoi.de

Once again, its absolutely superb!!

Thought I should show a full screenie with several units un use so that everyone can see your beutiful work.

One can see German, Italian, French and British sprites on the screenie.

Yeah, your right, but they had also some greenish uniforms, the problem is, brown isn't very recognizable on the political map, if the sovietunion is red like in standard hoi2, so we looked for some alternatives and found some at mamba s.a.c. but sadly the site isn't online anymore .

If you want some brown uniforms, i suggest you look at the alternative generic icon set, that we provide, download and rename them from MIN to SOV and you have brown uniforms


@van der gent
thx, for the screenshot

shouldn't there be lika a thousand replies by now? New sprites are something GREAT that many have waited for.

Wow wow! Looks very good!

One nitpick though...from the screenshots it appears that there is a lack of shadows which makes them look kinda weird.

Why don't commie russia have a white, because they are famous for their adaption to the cold winter weather. Soon, we'll see tank sprites right?

Never thought of it...

@Walter Model, In their webpage you can see a german tank sprite. Im sure they'll be released sometime but it takes some time to make them.

btw, how much would white fit with the soviet red colour?

How are the sprites made - using a 3D program?
I'm looking into Blender myself but don't know enough to complete a moving sprite in HOI. I would be happy to supply 3D models and renders to anyone who feel they master the rest.

Along with a V2 rocket I now also have a low poly model of a JU87.

Glad to see someone is actually working on this part of the game.

The standard uniform in the red Army was of a brown color, some uniforms were also green. We choose green, because brown looked odd on the red underground of the political map. The white as you mentioned would look really odd in the summer don't you think

Yeah your right, there will be no shadows ad all. In our test games with the sprites and shadows, the clarity on the map was somewhat awful, so we removed the shadows and it looked much better

According to my knowledge he didnt use any 3d program.

you are so right after the sprites from HOI 1,its been a long slow wait for anyone to make any for HOI 2,hopefull doomsday allows to go back to the HOI 1 format so we can make diffent sprites for differnt modles

We can use different sprites for different models.

Here's a Nitpick :

Did you ask the Codename : Panzers company if you could use that rifle picture? (The weapon the men are holding)
