Not really postcard quality right now (too many more things to add), but I felt the need to post a WIP picture of the delta:

Be honest.....You really couldn't mistake that for Syria, could you? 

Attacking with the rising sun behind them.....Very classy. 

Sounds good.  In totality the mods are like another CM game.  Combat Mission Southeast Asia (CMSA).

If you're looking for some inspiration try this awesome site I've just found about the Australian involvement in SVN:
https://vietnam.unsw.adfa.edu.au/battlemap/?basemap=mapbox-terrain&layers=contact-individual&timeline=1965-04-30,1971-11-01&at=10.94051456370687,106.87067499999999,8
While it takes a while to load, it is worth the wait. You can toggle Vietnam era military mapping overlays, get action summaries by clicking on the red spots on the map, view geo-referenced Vietnam imagery and other analytics. If you get bored with the map, go to the home page and navigate your way around various articles about combat and heaps of other stuff. See screenshot to get a feel for it:

This has been bookmarked by me - a definite keeper.

UULLTTTIIMMMMAAAATTTTEEE POWWWWEEEERRRRR!!!

Ahh thanks, that means we can now perform CM's first (rudimentary) Helicopter-borne Air assaults...
 

Thought it was time for another postcard or two (it's been a while):


All we need now is a Sampan or two to go in 'em! 

People's Militia...

Imperial Cavalry...

Bandits...

 
I can now use the best placeholder for the People's Army...

I was also okay with the Armour placeholder so you've been of great assistance @Mord

Made this guy for you today. Took quite awhile!
 

 
He ended up being a much different style than the first guy so I whipped up this dude to get a bit closer to the same art. Isn't perfect but fits better than the first one.
 

 
This is how I arrived at him.

I used them both for the Imperial Army/Guard...

They look great, color is okay to my eyes.
As for the names, we've had them for awhile, however, because the Sarge directed me to a fantasy name generator, it was one of the easier tasks.
Now getting the rice paddies to look just right that's proven a tricky task...

UULLTTTIIMMMMAAAATTTTEEE POWWWWEEEERRRRR!!!

Yep, i'll definately be grabbing that.
In regards to my own experiments could you go into a little more detail with regard this "triangulation" step... I just can't seem to get it to work.
In particular are there any blender UI changes I should be looking for so as to determine whether or not "triangulation" has even occured?

 
I'm assuming this is an example of the "perforation" artifacts you spoke of (if the step has been missed).

The UK scenario Zumbelay Withdrawal...


 

Inspired by the work of @Zveroboy1 on the ANA, I decided to try out a few things with the Syrian Airborne.
This is the result...
It's rudimentary at the moment & with many placeholders but I think with some work from a few modders/scenario/campaign creators we could get an interesting project going.
 

@37mm
Here's a test I spent about an hour or so designing, this morning. I was curious to see what I could pull off after thinking about how I might approach it, last night. I took the Syrian Reserve bust template from the SF2 mod, replaced the helmet with a helmet from an FI template,  grabbed a Vietcong face off the net, did some blending, added easier to distinguish eyes, ran some hue adjustments on the skin and helmet, and threw it on a jungle background. I think they look pretty good. I actually prefer the one on the left but it's harder to see his Vietnamese-ness.

 
Here's the bmps. Right click, save and rename them to whatever you need and you can test them in game.

We've come a long way these past few months...
 

You know, I have to admit I have never been interested in CM conversions because no matter how much skill and imagination that has gone into them, they have never really done it for me. Just Frankensteined wishful thinking that's never quite lived up to the vision. I was skeptical as f*** when you guys first brought this up. Figured you'd sling a few interesting environmental textures and paint some vehicles and that would be that. Interesting but ultimately filed under "Acquired Taste Curiosity". And I felt fairly blasé about sbobovyc's program as nothing substantial ever really seemed to come of it except for a helmet, in four years.
Boy oh boy, I have never been more wrong in my life. Because of you, @sbobovyc, @Steppenwulf and @Aquila-CM we have entered a new era — a frontier never thought possible. You have joined the ranks of the innovators and greats from CM's past; like Magua, Tom, Molek & Bergman, Ryujin (who produced the first hex edit), Dpabrams, Aris, Kieme, JuJu, @Vein, @LongLeftFlank, and the that crazy East Front genius, @Umlaut, to name a few. You fellas will be the giants whose shoulders modders we have yet to meet, will stand on. With the deepest respect, from a guy who has been dicking with bmps and wavs for a good long time, I am profoundly impressed with what you have achieved. I salute you all.
