I'll answer the questions in order they would be asked.

1) Yes that is devin's trenchcoat from his SS4.

2) Yes, that is Ska_Wars' head/helmet/cigpack model

3) Yes, that is a badass cigarette that I modeled hanging out of his mouth.

4) No, thats not a final model.

5) No, that is not manjuice on his left leg, its supposed to be snow, like the refrence pic in the request thread. It looks worse than I thought. I will probably remove it.

6) No, not all of the models will wear the same coat.

7) The light, and Heavy will have the same coat, shown.

8) The medium will have a diffrent coat. Similar, though.

9) The Sniper and MG will have heavy jackets, not overcoats.

--------------

Now to ask some questions myself.

1) Do you like it?

2) How can I improve it?

3) Should he have gear on at all? (Seeing as how many soldiers kept their crap inside the coat to protect it from the elements.)

4) Should I put a cap on the medium (Tommy/Greaser) instead of a helmet? A cap like an officers hat?

5) How many/which should have cigarettes coming from their mouths? (If any)

6) What else would you like to see?

PLEASE respond. Thanks to Devin and Ska for knowlege and parts to work with, you guys are champs.

pwn... love the cig... although... i'm not much to answer hard questions like that...

Ok, since I almost requested this (see my request thread) I will answer some questions.

1) Do you like it? - Yes, it is pretty cool, but could you make the color of the trenchcoat darker maybe?

2) How can I improve it? - See 1)

3) Should he have gear on at all? (Seeing as how many soldiers kept their crap inside the coat to protect it from the elements.) - Well, hard to tell considering the screenie only shows the front. :(

4) Should I put a cap on the medium (Tommy/Greaser) instead of a helmet? A cap like an officers hat? - Hmmmm, not too sure, I would like to see 2 versions so then we could decide which is better.

5) How many/which should have cigarettes coming from their mouths? (If any) - Yes!!!! The cig is a great effect. If any models I would add it to the sniper definitely, and maybe the BAR, or the 30 .cal? Anyone else think this is good?

6) What else would you like to see? - As I said in the other thread, I would love to see the 30 .cal class with a bigger body overall. See the pic I provided in the other thread. Oh, and maybe add some American war symbols to the helmets too.

This seems like it will be pretty cool, and I might, probably will use it. I would still like to see someone do the models I requested in my request thread, not winter outfits, just heavier clothing, no trenchcoat, maybe just a smaller coat or something.

Whoah thats pretty awesome and quite good if that is your 1st hackjob. If only we could have map-specific models then that would rock. Snow models on snow maps. btw may I suggest using the default helmet model? :)

Nice work so far mate.

Only comments I've got are:

* Make sure you give all the faces facial hair as when your freezing your tits off shaving aint high on the 'things to do list' lol

* Change the boots to some US ones

* Jus put basic gear on them like backpacks as things like ammo pouches or that would probally either be inside their coats or jus around the waist.

As for the cap idea I've got some helmet models made by trigger or a helmet over the top of a jeep cap (woven cap) which you can have if they're any use to you. If you don't know what i mean, watch a few of the battle of the bulge episodes of BoB and you'll see a ew wearing them.

Keep up the good work mate, very very good for a first hackjob.

Ska

They look good and I can't really suggest anything as everyone else has covered it. :D! Can't wait to see em done.

Thanks for the positive feed back.

Ska-Sure! pm me with some links if you'd be so kind! I also have some questions, maybe I'll catch you online at some point.

Amlord-The MG is going to be in the winter coat that the defaults wear, you know the one that has the fitted cuffs. I figured MGs and Snipers couldn't do with having a big coat getting in their way. They have to move quickly, especially the MG with that heavy SOB he's lugging around.

nice jopb its gonna be awesome, only thing i dont like is the color of the coat, maybe go darker? any way awesome job cant wait for release

Looking good. Make the trenchcoat darker and more dirty! It's too light colored and clean.

Looks very good so far, but definately you have to make the trenchcoats darker. Look at this pic and see what I mean:

http://www.dodstudios.net/uploads/uploads/random01.jpg

Look at the guy in the middle, and look at the color of this trenchcoat. It does look better in my opinion.

ya, the coat is too yellowish and needs to be more olive. what are these suppose to be? infantry in trenchcoats or paras in trenchcoats or paras in trenchcoats for infantry? lol

http://www.dodstudios.net/uploads/uploads/WW2Art3.jpg

Thats my refrence pic. Yeah, I'm gonna make the coat darker, after all that feedback!

Good ideas, thanks I'll get to work when I get home. I'm posting from the training area at SEARS. hahaha.

By the way, I wont make alot of progress tommorow, I'm taking my road test and seeing a play. Expect some progress tonight, and saturday morning.


OK BYE!

lol skullz, maybe thats not the best pic to go off, i was using it ass an example. I got it out of a koren war book ;) but i mean it is basicly the same concept and still leet. but gj with the models i truly love you now :D

Ooops, I should read the whole thread =P

Yes I also requested these and I also think the uniforms should be darker. Here is a pic of the uniform that it could look like. http://www.oldreliable.org/octofoil/delta/p47_a.jpg
I think it would look much better like that.

[-39th-] AirborneHellfish

i like A LOT. A whole crap load bunch. OK. Cigs for sarge and BAR = good. Give the sniper and mabye the sarge the woven "beanie" as people call it today (it is what many men wore under thier helmets, in matter of fact i believe the defauly models have them on under the helmets but im not sure) Give them all tired and unshaven faces with almost a "1000 yard" look going on. As for equipment, not so much. Mabye ask ska if you can use his bandoliers and stuff, but nothing on the outside, except for mabye the Staff Sgt. give him a radio and then give the sargent a "side bag" (strap goesa across chest and a medium sized bag is near your waist". Well thats all i got for now. But please man this is what i've been waiting for forever (zalec is my fav map). Good work man.

hey can u stuff in a medic and radio man in there some where .... like bar has radio and carbine as medic ;)

errr, if he does end up putting a radio it would make more sense on the sniper.....

No radio pleaseeeeeeeee.......no medic....plleasssse.......just winter trenchcoats...darker brown, little dirty mayb blood but not overboard movie type blood all over...and not that much gear, just ammo pouches and such..:D

lol

lmao this is just as extra, mainly for me( well the movie i am doing) dumb ass :rolleyes:

Grrr i got your dumb ass.... no movie for you! :eek:

could everyone please stop using the same 5 RTCW face textures :mad: it makes me mad:mad: really mad :mad:

anyways the models look good:D

oh yeah just 1 more little request. Can one of them be an officer (i.e. a second Lt.) thats what this game is lacking. Mabye make it the staff Sgt or something and mabye give him a pair of binocs. I dunno it just seems like people forget that yes, officers fought too. Any ways theres in the DoD opening screen theres an officer. Just a thought keep up the goosd work. Oh and BTw the reason i didn't say put radio on sniper is that having a radio was like a... punisment in some way. Dont let BF1942 fool you. Snipers hardly ever acted as Artty spotters until Korea. And Malarkey you might wana check exactly who said that quote (at least his rank) Chesty Puller was not a Col, especially when he said that. He was a Sgt. Major i believe, but he was still enlisted.I could be wrong though.

w00t! lots of hype! nice!

1)I'm gonna make the Sniper an officer.

2)The blackout really set me back, I'm recompiling, after noticing two or three bugs in the model.

3)You ought to know me better, the only reason the RTCW face is on there is becuase its a hackjob and I havn't had time to reskin it all yet. Vandal ALWAYS does his own custom photoskin faces. Becuase he has sex appeal.

4) Coats will be darker, fear not, sportsfans.

5) I'm using Ska's helmets. I think they=sexy. After I release I have other stuff. Here's my lineup:

---------US Winter Pack

---------US Winter Pack w/ Default Helmets

---------Ska's US-INF models w/ no flamer, extra sleeves rolled up, tanker helmets, cigs, and the radio pack

----------Same as above with normal inf helmets

----------Italian Axis pack (i'm saving this one so I can learn hacking better)

-----------French Resistance brit pack

-----------Russian brit pack


All along I'll release other stuff, but thats my main objectives....I'll need voice actors for the French/Russian packs, but thats a long way away.

Oi! Keep your hands off the french resistance, i was there first and am half way through updating them! lol

Anyway, looks really good so far mate, tanker helmets should keep *certain* people happy (you know who your are lol)

keep up the good work mate, if i can help you out at all you know how to contact me.

Ska

WooHoo DoD finally gets an officer (not exactly the class i was expecting but its good enough). Keep up the good work. Oh yeah I just got back a while ago Ska and I love your new models byond anything.

Oh good, Ska!! I'm happy to hear that. Lets work on getting you a voice actor, ey?

Oh and I suggest hacking up that awesome Das Reich pack and using the teeshirt/suspenders body in the resitance pack.

All i've got so far for the French is a femal sniper and a big fat bren gunner lol looks a wee bit like obelix (sp?) lol

Anyway, looking forward to this winter pack. Should look pretty cool with Devs trench coats.

Ska

Sniper as the officer? Pretty sure no snipers were officers, maybe the garand, or m1 carbine, hey, maybe even the tommy or greaser, but definitely not the sniper.

**Hackjob is what?**

I'm not putting ranks on anything, certainly not on the coats. Use your imagination :p

Yar. I was skinning last night and my pc crashed. I gotta redo everything I did last night.

I have to re-do the new coat and belts and whatnot.

meh, life sucks :rolleyes:

Any news?

Work vacation school, ect. Give me some time. :D
