How does a person get a sleeve from a player model onto a v_model?

Sometimes you'll see a a person have a skin for the first-person sleeves to go with thier player models. But, most of the time, people don't.
It's not really that hard to do, is it? :confused:
I'm hoping to get a trend started here, 'cause when you're playing, I think it rather hurts the whole deal if you've got a completely different colored sleeve than you're teammates, or, uh, "squad."
Anyone got an answer? :eek:

there are only 3 different sleevemodels/skins. british, us and german sleeve. i don't think that this is possible. you could make a non tanker jacket sleeve for the garand for example but if i.e. a mg gunner takes a garand of the ground, he also has a normal sleeve.

I'm thinking that the DoD team is gonna fix this in the future, because the Stosstruppe's sleeve was supposed to be short.
Anyway, all a person has to do is supply a sleeve from one of the player models in their set. It doesn't have to match the exact sleeve for that class you're using, just one of 'em.

That would be rather tricky to pull off seeing as the v_ model arm textures are probably as big as the whole player model skins.
So you'd be looking at either a horribly stretched version of the player skin, or you'd have to recreate the skin from scratch. Not that it can't be done.
Sometimes though it'd be a simple recolor, so yeah.

Is it a hard/long ( :rolleyes: ) process to make it from scratch? :confused:

Not necessarily, using what the Dev team provided us with, you should have a pretty good base to work off of.
For something like Higgin's 3rd ID set, it would be a matter of recoloring the sleeves to match. Maybe get rid of the tanker jacket look. Which someone already did a couple days ago.
