Hey guys here is the 3rd and final version of my BoB pack. The 2nd one was supposed to be the final version but someone suggested that the skins would look better on Russ. Conscript's models so I put them on Russ' models. :)

Model-Russ. Conscript and DoD team
Skin-Lt. Firmalo

Model changes made by Russ:
-.45 holsters
-Grenades attached to models
-Helmet straps
-1.0 US inf heads on para models

Skin Changes made by Lt. Firmalo:
-BoB helmet
-BoB character's faces
-Open collar BoB uniform
-101st airborne screaming eagles patch
-No US flag on right arm

Thanks to Russ for allowing use of his models.

Kick ass if you don't mind me saying so.

06-09-2003, 05:52 PM
Gaaaaa1!!!!! That's all I see now is those facking whiskers!!! BAHHHH!!! stupid, I don't know why people keep using that same smear thing on the face.......dirt gets on your face in different ways you know!!!! GAAAAA!!!!! Geez, ok....but still 100% better than what I can do.......no doubt, just....try to be original.

Sgt.Sinister
06-09-2003, 05:53 PM
its not dirt...its camo paint.

Wouldn't look like the actors if I stretched the face textures instead and yeah thats camo that para wore :)

they look horrible, i mean the faces look like them, but they are all strectehed on the face and look ugly. I mean look at Hoobler ( i think thats him from your shot, top right) and that guy in the bottom right, they are just ugly. Definitly not using

Buck Compton
06-09-2003, 06:35 PM
Buuuuuuck! NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!! I feel jinxed now.

Awesome man, simply awesome. The last para skins I'll ever use. Suggestion: maybe you could take requests and release more face textures in the future just as .bmp files so people could add them in with HLMV or whatever? Personally I'd love to see "Bull" Randleman on garand, and I'm sure everyone wants crowd-pleaser Speirs. Hmm, I wonder if little 3D cigars and cigarettes are doable on faces?:D One thing, who is that on MG? I can't quite place the face.

And Sclass12, two things -

1: You're very rude.

2: SHADDAP! They look excellent.

06-09-2003, 06:47 PM
Nicely done.....I'm not gonna use though. Not a fan of BoB, but good job non-the-less.

Russ. Conscript
06-09-2003, 06:50 PM
these are really cool. they look just like the ppl.

and np about the models.

Podunkian
06-09-2003, 06:51 PM
Ehm, personally I think it's... Okay...? The textures themsleves are a little low grade, and the only face that I could recognize off the bat was Winters. The others took a little more squinting and a more open imagination haha.

Anyways, try finding better reference pictures to base your skins on.

Not bad, they look pretty good.
How happy does marlarkey look about being in the army? lol

MG is Babe Heffron. Podunkian, I'm an amateur remember? and I could have done better on the faces but I kinda rushed the faces because I 'll have school in the next few days, summer is over for me and I haven't prepared my school things yet. The important thing is the ugliness of the textures aren't seen ingame :)

*shrug*
06-09-2003, 07:02 PM
How can you not be a fan of BoB? :eek: Meh, in any case the faces look great. Awesome work. :D

I speak my opinion, and where I live (USA) I can say what i want. They do not look good at all

Lt. Firmalo
06-09-2003, 07:35 PM
They might suck, Sclass12 but please be more constructive and mature. Oh you can't be mature you're only 13 so I'll be more patient with you.

Thats a pretty good job there Firmalo. Now we just need more weapon modelers. Seems all the MSA releases now are player models and player model reskins :(

Lt. Firmalo
06-09-2003, 07:39 PM
lol thats because the default 1.0 weapon models are pretty good and no one would need to make new ones. Well thats only my opinion :)

You can say whatever you want wherever you live, you just have to be ready to face the consequences of your words. The consequences here: everyone thinks you are a jackass, which in turn invalidates your oppinion, so it would have been better if you had said nothing at all. It's fine to say you don't like something, but there are more diplomatic ways to go about it.

As for these models, I think they look quite good, and I'll definately be downloading them.

They look great to me, doesn't get much cooler than this! They are going into my game right now!

2 questions:

Would you be able to supply the face of Lipton as a bmp, which I could them import into to replace one of the faces?

Can you make these to be used as regular inf in-game, rather than just Para?

Thanks!

Guarnere's face is pretty spot on. One of the best looking in the bunch.

06-09-2003, 09:31 PM
I want your BOB font too :D

Lt. Firmalo
06-09-2003, 10:28 PM
LoL I chuckle everytime I see your sig Steambot Willy. Anyways here is the Bull Randleman face texture requested by Buck Compton :)

Lt. Firmalo
06-09-2003, 10:30 PM

Hey all,

I love them!

Sclass12 can you skin? If so then suggest ways in your opion how he could improve the problems which only you seem to have noticed.

If not shut the hell up because you cant comment!

These models area definate download and I will mirror them over at http://www.dodsupply.co.uk when I get the chance today.

Lt. Firmalo Thank you !!!!!!!!!! :D
They look great !!!! Simply The Best ? :D
THX Russ for model :) You're the BEST man !

Sclass12 - If u can't say something nice, don't say anything. Trigger is right, every1 now think, that you're jackass...
Only constructive opinions are welcome, you can't understand it ? - get lost or shut up, please. Go to CS....

[H2H]MetalHeart

P.s. Snake ? Where are u ? your DREAM came true ! :D

Lt. Firmalo
06-10-2003, 06:09 AM
Thanks guys even though the textures aren't that good in quality when viewed in HLMV. Sniper looks like **** (supposedly Shifty Powers but the head model of the sniper is just so fat) so just change the sniper face to Randleman or something. :)

Well I don't share that opinion because the default weapon model's front ends are way too big and they overall look way too cartoony than the actual weapons they're supposed to represent.

Guess I'll have to take matters into my own hands. ;) :(

06-10-2003, 07:54 AM
ehm...hmmm...what can I say?.....OH GOD! i think i wet myself!:D
They are great!
Sclass12 STFU!!!!! go and play CS.U can't even dream about making such a thing!

{H2H}Snake...;) (really nice work)

They look great Firmalo. The ONLY thing that stops me from using them is the fact that you will see several of each face. If it is an anonymous face that is ok, but when I recognize them it's creepy and distracting. Of course there is noting you can do about that though.


And Sclass12. Once you requested a small change on one of my sets. You asked politely and it was done. Now I'll wager that after this rude display you are gonna have to take things the way you get them. Nobody will give your requests a second look.

Now wouldn't saying nothing have been easier?

06-10-2003, 10:58 AM
Just diss anything that comes from him from now on. He has no life just a loner

No, i cannot skin. Do I have to be a skinner to make a comment? Didnt see that anywhere. And people are going to go "You cant do better!" Which is right, i cant, but you dont have to better or as good as they are to make a comment. People say 'Ah, Sammy Sosa sucks, blah blah blah. Can you do better? No, so i guess that all criticism must be made from the point of view of "Can you do any better?" I compared them to others, and i thought his was poor quality, just a face cropped in PS and pasted onto a model.

Edit:fixed my typos

BTW anybody know what happened to DWMK because he was doing a similar SPR pack.

DWMK is now known as DANZA. I think he is still working on it.

...All I wanted was to release the BoB uniform change for the default paras. I released it, someone suggested I put BoB faces even though I know nothing about making new faces from scrap. I just gave it a try and got pictures of the BoB characters and tried replacing the faces with the pictures. Its more that just pasteand crap, I changed many facial features of the pictures like the making the nostrils bigger, making the eyes smaller, closing the mouth when the mouth is opened in the pic..It also takesmany trial and error just to make sure the faces fit the model right. released it, somebody suggests I put it in Russ' models. I release it with Russ' models and this ****er insults my "poor" work. The faces aren't everything. Its BoB in general. I know the textures look like **** but I did my best to edit it and crap to make them look good on the models. That's the important thing that they fit the models. I've been in the forums since 2001 but I'm an amateur skinner and I didn't and don't expect to be treated like a great skinner ala Devin,Trigger, Russ. All I wanted was to release this. Now what is your problem? I'm not saying that I am great and that I should be praised for this am I? So what the **** is your problem you geek?

There is a difference between constructive critisims and being an ass, right now you are the ladder of the two...

Trigger
06-10-2003, 06:42 PM
Aww, Firmalo called me great, I feel all warm and fuzzy inside now, teehee. Seriously though, the only to get good at something is by doing it, and as long as you are getting better nobody should tell you your work sucks. Sclass12 is one of those problems that if you ignore them, they eventually go away.

SHIFTY!!
Let's see, the yellow-haired guy looks somewhat like Buck(although it's good, there's not as much of a resemblance of the others), Winters is rifleman, Sniper is Shifty, Malark is MG, I don't know the others. Also, where the hell is Luz? I demand Luz!

Also, is BAR Spiers? And where's Lip? I demand perfection dagnabbit...I also demand a regular play version of these.

yes... you are. so stop acting like one.

and i believe saying someones work 'sucks' is considered flaming, according to the rules. the only time i think that would be accepted would be in the event of something like Private 88's african american re-skins.

otherwise, keep such comments to your self, and only give constructive critisizm.

Garand - Winters
Carbine - Malarkey
Thompson - Compton
Greasegun - Cobb (only person who uses it in the series)
Springfield - Shifty (since he takes out the sniper at Foy)
BAR - Guarnere
MG - Heffron

I'd love to see a slightly happier looking Compton, not the depressed-because-Guarnere-and-Toye-got-their-legs-blown-off Compton. I'm assuming you took his face from this shot:

http://www.dodstudios.net/uploads/uploads/buckavatar.jpg

Hmm. Trying to think of any good frontal shots of him. Maybe where they are playing darts at the beginning of Episode 4? Or maybe this one I took from the soldier roster in the DVD field guide.

06-10-2003, 08:05 PM
lol thats enough guys, leave the geek be :rolleyes: No more faces for me! I'll stick to uniforms and helmets. lol Compton do you expect Buck to be happy when he's fighting for his life? These will do for me even if I know I could have done better :)

I want to see this Luz ingame

Lt. Firmalo
06-10-2003, 08:22 PM
Luz is the carbine for version2 you can find it in the DoD editing center named Band of Brothers Reskin. He looked kinda funny there. Just copy his face from that then do the necessary adjustments if you want it on Russ' models. If you're having problems tell me and I'll do it for you :)
