Lo,

Right, I got cheesed off with the awful heads and textures on the default US Para models and decided to change them just to please myself but some of you might want these hence putting them here.

The body model itself isnt bad, the textures pretty ok but could probably do with a better one. All I did was replace the heads and hands with slightly higher poly ones and some of my head textures. I did tweak the body mesh every so slightly.

Half the models have mohawks, half dont and the helmet scrim as been made transparent and less blocky.

Its a total hackjob ok? Theres enough great US player models around - I just wanted a low poly one with nicer heads.

Good job. For a low poly para they look very, very good. I am sure that one guy is related to one of the Canadian para's I have in my DoD though :p

If it wasnt so late and I wasnt so I'll I might of made new faces for them all but as its a hack job I couldn't be bothered.

That bloody mohawk too most of the time :(

- Jed

good for low poly. I love moving mouths

LoL moving mouths...so i can go blah blah blah blah on the mic! :) Good work, nice heads.

Nice job. :)

can u make them have the mae life jacket on?

The heads look really wierd & the arm cuffs look like a gun barrel.

am I the only one who likes it, and not just for low poly? heh.

GJ, I never really liked the default heads.

War paint. They often used the still wet paint from the freshly painted invasion stripes on the aircraft they were about to board.

Cool. Makes me like it even more because that means realism. Realists unite! lol :)

trp. jed i just saw some screenshots of WOI a ghost recon mod
and the faces and hands look almost exactly like yours
did they rip you off ?

I used to mod for Ghost Recon years before I modded for DoD so a lot of my stuff is based on earlier stuff I did for GR.

My heads are based on the Ricochet heads which are pretty similar to Ghost Recons and have almost the same UV mapping.

The hands are the same ones I used for my Ghost Recon mod - I just use them in DoD because they work well. If its not broken, dont fix it. The only difference is mine have straight fingers where as the GR ones dont.

So yeah, some of the stuff in my models is based of earlier work i did for GR.
