Dev Diary #3 - Creating Realistic Soldier Character Models

Sherman Commander · published 3 years ago

All eventsPlayers around this dateRead on Steam

In Sherman Commander, we take every detail of our game seriously, so occasionally we’ll be veering from tanks in our blog posts. But hey, there’s a lot going on behind the scenes, especially on the character creation front. One of the key aspects we are working on is the diversity of faces. We believe that representation matters, so we have prepared a wide range of facial features and skin tones for the soldiers representing the United States. We want our soldiers to reflect the real-world diversity of the military.

In addition to diverse faces, custom shaders will play a vital role in creating realistic models. These shaders allow us to achieve natural lighting, shading, and material properties that enhance the visual fidelity of our soldiers. From realistic fabric textures to metal reflections and skin subsurface scattering, our custom shaders will add that extra touch of realism to our characters.


Now, about those uniform sets and accessories. We have designed different sets of uniforms and accessories for our soldiers to ensure authenticity and attention to detail. While players won't be able to customize the appearance of their soldiers in-game, our team of talented programmers and artists have worked tirelessly to create a wide variety of combinations.

We have also created different head meshes to add further diversity and uniqueness to our soldier characters.


Creating realistic models is a meticulous process that requires a keen eye for detail and a commitment to accuracy. We believe that these realistic characters will enhance the overall appeal of our game.

We hope you enjoyed the above glimpse into our development process. We will do our best to keep you updated on our progress as we continue to strive for authenticity in every aspect of our game. Please stay tuned for more exciting updates!
