Your image tag is broken.
*edit*
There's some clipping issues with the animations I think, the hand on the front of the gun is in the magazine with the Stg and MP40, and your rank is upside down.

I like the idea. The shade of green could use some work IMO. I dont know how it just looks alittle off.

Preston
07-19-2003, 08:07 PM
yes, im mainly posting for suggestions, i have been messing around with it for a couple o hours, what about the sand colored tunic on the STG44 guy, to bright? im still not sure on that, the ONLY thing i love about this skin so far tho, is the boots, i already replaced the pants with a diff skin, and am thinking about changing helmet too....and green tunic now that you mention it..

Looks good man; but ask Devin's permission before a release; after all he made the original ones, lol.

Edit: And me and Bishop did the Wehrmacht pack.

Y'know, I had a DAK project in the works too. I think your welcome to release your reskin, but i'm not going to hold mine back.

We need some African maps ;)

In 2.0 hopefully they will have models/skins for certain maps

-=GENO=-

I wouldn't mind seeing some Afrikan maps. They need to make it so that each map has its own models, so in snowy maps you have models in white camo Ect..

07-20-2003, 11:31 AM
Yeah... Bleibringer and me are currently working on dod_tobruk. If you want to help out with models or reskins check the thread in my sig.

@devin_kryss:
I am still waiting for a reply to my last pm. Or are you just too busy, mate? I will really be in need of an update of that dak pack I supported you with some time ago. You still need more reference?...I will just put this in another pm...again. ;)

Preston

I think that DoD should just use submodels to do different camo's on different tileset maps....so that its all in one file..instead of having a couple different files :)

Im just mway to busy to work on other projects Baldrun. Those map modles would be too much of a hassle, but I can at the least finish the DAK player pack I started some time ago. Theres jsut too much for me to do.

Preston
07-20-2003, 02:01 PM
hopefully its better tahn mine :) i cant skin from scratch, i take other's and modify :) but hey, i try...im about done with my changes...gonna go ingame and try in a sec

I really like these models Preston.

Now all we need are some Africa maps.

Now all we need is an Africa map and some fitting allied models. :D

Hey not bad, not bad at all :)

Preston
07-20-2003, 03:40 PM
thanks, im just wanna see devin's tho, cause he has the skills, are there any progress shots on his DAK skins? btw, not my models :)

Preston
07-20-2003, 03:42 PM
ive used these on Caen so far lol, fits kinda, but not. They fit well imho, just need afrika maps, but like baldrun said, he's working on a tobruk map,....which should rock :)

07-20-2003, 03:52 PM
These are looking really great man, can't wait to see final version. :D!

Preston
07-20-2003, 03:55 PM
What im going to do next, is try to replace all the leather straps + belts with canvas type lookings things....read somewhere that soldiers replaced the leather with canvas so it was light and not as heat creating....or some some..jsut next thing im gonna try to do.. :) tee hee hee

Those look like they're coming along nicely, I like the boots, and the uniforms look great. I would think about desaturating that green in the uniforms a bit, it looks a little intense to me.

No spooky goggles or face wraps?

07-20-2003, 08:20 PM
I just saw an African map. dod_rommel its called

07-20-2003, 08:35 PM
Maybe, just a addon or whatever, but for me to download, they need small gas masks over the face.

Preston
07-20-2003, 08:42 PM
i could do a gasmask on one or two of em?

Preston
07-20-2003, 08:42 PM
where can i get dod_rommel?

Preston
07-21-2003, 11:35 PM
is anyone wanting this?

If you could add some short shorts like this http://www.dayofdefeat.net/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=13029 , personnaly, yes, I would be very interested :) The DAK had ones /me thinks. It is so realistic.

Lorda Mercy
07-22-2003, 03:05 PM
If you're going to add a gas mask, may I suggest using Trigger's:
http://www.dayofdefeat.net/forums/attachment.php?s=&postid=95314

It has transparent lenses.

07-22-2003, 03:18 PM
What is this with gas masks and Africa? There was not one occasion when they were used there. So, they might as well stay in their boxes.

Preston
07-22-2003, 09:49 PM
well, one of the reference pics i got DID have a guy in shorts :/ but i dont think shorts have a place in it...yah they might have worn em, but not everyone so :)...plus...they might get sunburned :)!!!


though if someone could do one of those afrika helmets, like in your sig bald...the safari type helmets...i cant model worth jack, but hey :) if someone could do it for meh?

Trigger
07-22-2003, 10:04 PM
I believe that you can find a pith helmet in my headgear pack in the bits and pieces thread stickied at the top of the forum.

They are wearing long sleeves and pants...and technically....I am sure if you were in 110+ degrees a day, you wouldnt be wearing winter clothes.

That is really the only inaccuracy I can see.

Preston
07-23-2003, 01:32 AM
hey man, im not trying to be 100% accurate, im only doing what i can do :) mmkay?

Trigger
07-23-2003, 01:36 AM
You forget, the desert gets quite cold at night, and shorts sleves and pants just wouldn't do. I've seen many pictures of soldiers wearing full continental uniforms. The African theatre was probably the most lax as far as dress goes, so pretty much anything that you want would be acceptable.

Preston
07-23-2003, 01:40 AM
yah, so :p

Think you can make the boots taller and use those huge Afrika Korps boots?

Yes but you might as well just put winter coats on them with that reply.

Preston
07-23-2003, 09:29 AM
dude? i appreciate your feedback on that...but I like it how it is atm, im just trying to add other things atm....soo.....yah

/me loves things that aren't 100% real :D

Use your imagination!

Preston
07-23-2003, 10:09 AM
lol
only to an extent, i want it to be correct, but not ANAL...soo :) like the goggles im going to use, werent used by the infantry, they used smaller ones, but the smaller ones i have i cant do transparencies on...soo :)
