	Conscript unit Increase the size of your Attachments

Im thinking about trying to make a custom a unit for Communist government. Ive done it before with custom graphics...but never with graphics from other games. It would be nice if I could get this done.

Before I do this, I need some help.

Red Alert 2 has a Conscript Graphic. If I wanted to employ its graphics in CTP. Could it be done?

Thanks in advance

If you can obtain apropriately sized pictures of the unit facing in each of the 5 necessary directions against a black background in tif format, then you can make whatever unit you want.

Presumably in your case you'll need to take screenshots for the N, NE, E, SE and S facings, resize them, rub out the background, save as tifs and apply the sprite tool.

Of course, if you want animations then you'll have considerably more difficulty. If it happens that you can access the RA2 graphics in some way other than screen shots then that would probably be preferable.
