hmm...okay so Im back at campus and I finally got the permissions I was waiting on so i can get back to working on this thing. I always wanted an allied model set where each unit looked a bit more distinct than the other(more than usual at least) so I'm putting together this little hackjob. It works right now but I'm still tweaking it so it should be done by tomorrow or monday(new faces, an armor division patch, etc.) Anyways here's some pics:

I also have a version where the sniper is a girl(yes yes...UNREALISTIC unless this was some russian pack but hey, cut me some slack). Here's a pickie of that:

Comments? Ideas? Lemme know cuz I'm gonna try and finish this up and release soon.

looks nice, but the skins are to light, and the pants arnt very detailed. if you fix those, i might use them (even tho i have models that i really like now), I really like the idea, and the garand guy look really good.

Um how did u get that other guy near the MGer?

yea delta helmets!

now that you mention it they do look extremely light...ill make sure to fix that. What kinda stuff do you want to see on the pants? BTW that picture of some greasegun/MG luvin' was made possible by random hilarity from your friendly neighborhood Sturmbots

ok, so I did a little more retooling this morning(tsk tsk the sacriledge of doing stuff on Sundays...). The BDUs are a bit darker, I put axis pants on the SMG guy, and I slapped a 7th Armor patch on those boys to boot. New pics:

Hooah gentlemen, carry on.

Could you make the pics bigger and attach them plz?

Sorry bout the small pics, I tried to cut down on size so they could download faster but I see your point. Anyway, I made some new faces like I said I would and I'm fairly satisfied with the way this puppy has progressed. I'd have to say it's just about done, just gotta finalize the readme and touch it up a bit here and there later tonight and then probly release tomorrow after I finish buying my textbooks. Here's a pic of all of the guys together that I'm gonna include in the final release:

I also made some screenies of each guy swimming so you could get a more zoomed in view of what they looked like. I'll attach the bar guy but I'll have to just link the rest because I don't want to get people mad by seemingly spamming this thread. I'm really sorry.

I'm gonna finish this up tonight and release tomorrow most likely because I am really anxious to get started on an allied para set and a non-armor infantry set that I have some ideas for. I'll be on again later so please let me know if there are any last minute things you would like to see on this thing. If I don't catch it in time I can always(and probably will) revisit this thing at a later date.

this set looks great! good job.

I like the bar, light and greaser faces. Its good to see some fresh face textures.
I will d/l when you release and will await your future releases with much anticipation.

Please give credit to my US pack when you release these.

They look pretty good so far mate, like the female sniper. Not vey realistic but its the first female player model i've seen for 1.0 so far.

Keep up the good work,

Don't worry about that. I never forgot how gracious you were when you emailed me permission to use your stuff. I wrote a pretty lengthy credits page, and I was gonna mention you and Trigger when I finally released, which is going to be in a couple of hours, I just gotta go to the university co-op and plunk down some cash for my fall class textbooks first.

I'll put up some other pics of the girl in the release thread. I wasn't gonna release the version with her in it but if enough people want that one I'd be more than happy to. I think she looks pretty good, and with a little creative vertex assigning the long hair bends properly too. Anyway, I'll leave all that for the release thread.

Oh **** yeah, you e-mailed me about this dint you? lol sorry mate jus been at a 5 day rock/punk/ska festival so my head is still pretty blagged and im only just getting my memory back lol

Like the sound of the hair bending with the body, should be quite a site.

Keep up the good work.

*BTW Sorry if i came across as an arsehole or owt in my previous post*

These look really nice, but, ermhh, where is the tommy and carbie..?

Looking good! I really just want the female sniper though. ;)

You don't see the Tommy and the Carbine because they share the models of the greaser and the garand respectively. I'm kinda new at this so please please please correct me if I'm wrong, but generally what I could tell from the original qc file on a standard US Infantry set there were at most 5 submodel variations the game could choose from, a light(rifles), medium(SMGs), heavy(BAR), mg, and sniper. I tried to work within the bounds, so there you have it, there's like 5 different guys. I'm pretty sure that's not the case for the US paratroopers, which I'm pretty sure can have at most all 7 variations(under the gear group). I'm banking on that since I'm working on a paratrooper set right now that I plan on finishing by sometime this weekend(I'll start a new thread on that when I've done enough so I can put up some pictures :)).

Coincidentally I released both versions, just look in the release section or go to the Day of Defeat Editing Center for it, the standard one is up there and I'm gonna see if I can get the girl one up there too(right now you can still download it from my server).

Wow dude - these are excellent!! (I want to replace my skins that I'm using right now!! But I have to find these now :/ - now to scor throughout the dod skin site -I forget the name offhand-)

EXCELLENT JOB M8!!:)
