Skullz_Vandal Brought a concept to me for a new allied player, anyway... that was the look he and also i wanted.
http://vandal.weruniq.com/models/winter.jpg

Coats? well... devin kryss ;]
The helmets are from nixon's Inf/Para pack which i love so much, the rest is my model edit, texture changing and total recoloring.
the pictures you now see are before some changes and the helmet won't be with camo (just for the sniper) and also his pants wouldn't be so greeny.

anyway, it's just an early product of my work from today... few hours of playing.

Thought and comments are welcome ;-]

2nd picture

and the last one...

My goodness. :eek:

Give the Sergeants those short and more tan coats in the pictures though.

Expert modelers/skinners, please help this man out. Finally, something to equally match DK's SSV4 Trenchcoats.

very nice

Mortar, send me the us-inf.mdl and I'll slap some faces/do some minor reskins. I got some ideas :)

Big foot syndrome...

use the default para legs/boots maybe :-\

Looks good, I've always wanted to see a mackinaw in DoD so you should definately include one in addition to the trenchcoat.

I'm glad to see that someone finally got around to doing this. It's been requested for a quite a while now, and fortunatly it looks like you're off to a good start! I do have some constructive critisism though. First of all, the coloring doesn't seem right on the pants and coat. The texture's on the coat look washed out, while the textures on the pants look too sharp imo. And it's hard to tell in the screenshots, but one of the distinct things i knowticed about the picture this is based on, is the large collar. Like i said, i can't tell if these have that or not from the screenshots provided. That said, if you released these today i'd use them. I just hope to see them get better. Good luck, and hats off for a great start!

Thanks for the feedback guys :-)
Well this is yet far from being finished and im still going to go through a lot of things but i thank you for bringing up those points.

If you guys think you can help more, want to model it/skin it or something i would love too, also if some1 could link me here to some reference pictures it would be great.

You can find me where my sig tells ya ;]

a small update...
you can see the new arm patch :-)

Nice. Now if only there were some way to have the models only show up on certain maps.

yeah map-specific models would make dod way more awesome than it already is

Give everybody except the Sergeant and Sniper those big ass collars. :)

These look so sweet, can't wait for the final version :D

hey thtas my backgound on my computer lol also im thinking of makeing a 1st ID skin

hmm, do patches actually go on the trenchcoats?

why not ? ;-]

Well, none of the guys in the picture have any kind of patch on their coats, so I just figured they didn't put patches on them.

this is an educated guess... I believe on the coat was a Division patch but nothing more.... IE, 101st would have the eagle patch, 3rd Id would have the blue/white box, etc.

Id go check out Call Of Duty's winter skins and see what they got on theirs. There skins are very accurrate to the real things. It'd also be a good reference for the green wool color.

Voodoo

It would be unlikely to see any markings sewn on overcoats, the coats were bulky and gave the unfortunate silhouette of the German overcoat, which means they weren't often used by frontline troops, as such, since any markings would have to be applied by the soldiers themselves, it's unlikely they would take the time. I would think you may see at least rank patches on Mackinaws, however, because those who used them (officers mostly) would have worn them more often.

Looking great

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA IT'S DEVIN KRYSS! :eek:

Any updates on this thing?

FOOOLIE COOLIE!!

RIDE ON SHOOTING STAR!

It will be released in a week +-

Mortar not yet?

I've very sorry, i know few people here are really waiting on this one and i respect that but i just don't have enough time to work on it lately and also i was in the middle of another work so... it might take a little longer but i will try to end this faster.

cheers.

:-)

I have started working on it lately, but this time i started again from zero, this time i think it looks much better and im going to finish it too, soon... i hope.

Nice, just add some gear models to it (F1 nade, canteen, etc) and replace the helmet and face and you're all set.

Can you make a Brit-Inf version with those conscript hats and the signature Russian Fez hat (whatever they're called)?

Swede-The helmet/gear is correct.

Mortar-Excellent. I may have a go at a reskin just so I can have worked on something this badass!

wow lookin good

the only thing i think looks alittle odd is the backpack on a sodier with a trench coat :S maybe its just me and they did wear backpacks in the winter ...i guess i just never seen it , or i have bad memory :p

These look amazing now...at first I didn't think twice about them, but now they're grade A meat. If these get finished in a near future I'm willing to let you have my spleen, just in case you might need an extra later :D

Hehe, it'd be sweet atleast :)

Argh, lol. I thought they were Ruskies. :D

I hope your meshing the faces from RtCW, because that's the only one that will look faces look good. (Unless you're using Jed's mesh skins).

Thanks for the feedback ;]

at this point i would like to ask if you have any reference pictures or important gear/uniform info... it could help a lot.

anyway the faces are based on the RTCW model/mesh, im not going to use jed's because i simply don't think i can create a good face from scratch atm but the textures i use are not normal RTCW faces... they are the normal us infantry faces slaped on the RTCW texture with my further editing.
also i took some normal RTCW faces and edited them completely so they are almost as good as new and they do not look german at all.

nice bump lol


glad to see ur still making em, looking good. i m sorta glad you removed the leaf helmet (pic 2) cuz of historical accuracy, but it looked so cool :(

:)

well tbh when i first took the pictures it was too late and i was too excited :P but that camoflauge was planed to be only for the sniper, and the pictures i posted now and also from before are only of the rifleman class.

about historical accuracy... i know they had those kinds of helmets, a little diffrent then what i used in my old ones but more like jed's british paratroopers, i think i will make such thing for the sniper.

btw again i say... i really need reference pictures of paratroopers, especialy snipers.

What the first guy does is disturbing, but joking aside, they look really good. Too bad we can't have map specific models. It would be cool to be able to choose these models on snowy maps.

I totaly agree with you and i even suggested it twice.

One request, for the love of god, use a stencil for his helmet OTHER than the 506th, my lord, I burned all of the spade cards in my deck.

Here, 101st Helmet stencils. Pick one, anyone!

These are shaping up nice Mortar, what hands are those, and whats the average polycount of these models.

Thanks :-)
well atm it got 3400, yeah i know... kinda high but i will make a low poly version too, the high poly's come from the scarf, the boots oh boy... i took em from nixon's pack... it's 650 both :[ and the hand are very high on polys too...

the low poly version will be like, 2200 +- i think that's perfectly fine.

Good job Mortar... :)

But I prefer the your original version.

It's the best model to me, I think.

Anyway what's going on my model I sent you before?

It's too difficult to contact you. :(

im sorry, give me your mail and i will send it to you...
i can't seem to contact you either.

you can also come to the msa channel im there a lot... check my sig.

BTW just for the record, there are lots of parts in this model that i i didn't make, like the helmets or the boots... the coat model or the para britches, but im working on each one of those stuff... working on the skins and playing with the models and combining them like i do in every release and again i promise you that although you might be seening some known model parts the whole thing will be brand new and original :-) and also of course there are stuff that are mine.

yeah.

of course I think it'll be the best model

I believe. :)

And this is my E-mail address.

kleess@orgio.net

Goodbye americanized waffen SS coat, hello US trenchcoat (handy told me greatcoat... so greatcoat ^_^)

im working on the coat atm and it won't be another german trench coat, not in this release.

Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaY

Very very nice, looking forward to these models ALOT :D

Wow, paras are looking incredible, can't wait for the release

BUMP

I'm so excited....sorry :D

weeeeeeeeeee

i demand more pics ! :>

here are some in-game picutres.

...

last one...

the first picture is a lil older, and if you wondered it's just 1 model for all the classes since that's how i work... first on a general one and then for each class.

I love you for this Mortar.....so glad we got a super cool allied replacement coming to match the.....about seventy 1.1 compatible german replacements.....

these are looking very nice :)

Dude, release an Allied Para and Inf replacements man!

Any news on the release? :(

wow those are awsome

Mortar, do you still need reference pics of what the winter soldiers wore? As far as backpacks, gear etc. I was watching band of brothers last night. The Bastogne episodes. Some of them had backpacks when they went on patrol, the others had sidebags slung around them. That would be so awesome if you gave the riflemen and support infantry backpacks. And the master sergeants and staff sergeants sidebags. When they went on patrols they pretty much wore they're normal paratrooper gear over they're trenchcoats. Riflemen had bandoliers slung around them, and guys with tommies had those buttpacks that held 6 magazines in individual pouches. If you'd like pics, i'll try popping the dvds in my comp and screenshotting. But i dunno, you may already have it yourself. :) One more thing....More facial hair! In band of brothers, guarnere and malarkey looked like freaking cavemen in bastogne!

Wow, these are really great Mortar, you've out done yourself dude. Good job. I cant wait to play with these on Zalec or kalt :)

I Really appreciate it guys :-)
I will try to push my work and release them faster ;]

P.S
pvt crowe those screen shots could really help :-)

UMMM...... I LOVE YOU GUYS!!!:D










I eat my veggies,
Dr. Midnight

Dammit, sorry Mortar....for some reason the screenshots just won't come out....they keep turning up blank. I tried a few differant programs too....sorry :(

No problem.

Me wants current status of Allied models... :(

Yo seriously....i have'nt been so excited for a model ever...i check these forums almost for news on these exclusively haha....

Sorry for the slow progress ;[
Atm im trying to reskin/edit the normal Paratrooper clothing into m43, skining cloths for me is rather hard and the lack of proper reference makes it twice as hard.

I'm making an m43 soon Mortar, catch me on #dod-msa this weekend.

BUMP Hows it goin Mortar?

i dunno if this has bin pointed out yet but by the time the Airborne Units got 2 Bastonge either the Netting on there helmets had falled off or was coming off so the troopers pulled it off any way. But otherwise GJ Keep it up Mortar m8 ur doing somthing i thought was just about impossible!

very nice mortar, a deffinate user. any plans for para and inf release?

Thanks for the feedback guys, well... atm im stuck with my work on this pack, i will try to start moving things soon.

Im planing to make it an infantry pack but maybe i will make a paratrooper one aswell (i mean... they are paratrooper models but im making them to replace the US infantry).

Yeah I think it would make more sense to release these as para since they are paras...

i'd be happy with either

I definatly want them for normal inf just so I can use them more often!

That's what i think too...

I will first make an infantry version and then i will make a more detailed Para version because it have more models for each class, and i can give it more faces and more ranks and unique gear.

Any WiP pictures?

?

Im going to keep working on it...
Sorry for never finishing it in normal human times :-(

Anything new? I really want these :(

Im sorry for slow work rate.

Looking good keep em going since we have 3 winter maps now!

I'll give you until the end of the month.
If we don't have them by that time, we will continue to not have them. And you don't want that.

Theres your damn cover sheet:cool:

You guys stop pestering Mortar. I know the models are great and you all want them out but remember us modellers are humans too!! Mortar is currently stretched between multiple jobs between DoD, TSV and other projects. He doesn't have time to always work on his player models. I'm in the same boat as him so I know what it's like.
So just be patient and he will release them ;)

That's just right ^
;)

i used the bren not the piat please don't be hating me, mortar.

LOL

NO SOUP FOR YOU !
Next !

mumblyjoe made me cry...

MUHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

Alright boys and girls.

Trigger made a very hot M43 Jacket and let me use it for my allied winter models so everybody (including myself) thank him :)

Now... My ugly wannabe M43 fiting trousers suck so im going to reskin them, the hand model - not sure which one im going to use and what's left for me to do is 2-3 face skins, some gear skins/models, playtests and then im done.

Anyway... this is what i have so far for the Sniper model, the pistol holster and bag are yet to be skined.

Update: Holster is finished.

And...

Beatiful, Mortar. That looks, dare i say....sexcellent.

NO! Get back into the basement! As punishment you shall get no hungarian sensual massage tonight.

Pretty big update, i finished the trousers and now what's left is skining a bag, fixing up some faces, fixing the bone assignment and some ingame testing to see if all goes well.

atm the bones are pretty messed because the M43 Coat is an external model that trigger made and i couldn't assign the verticies perfect so i decided to post a view from the back (again... :P) but this time in HLMV.

i can post more pictures if you are intrested but only from milkshape, i hope that soon i could start posting acctual ingame pictures after i'll assign those damn bones right, when that will happen the release will be closer than ever.

Looking brilliant Mortar, you've been working on these for along time and it's paid off. Are you going to release a default face version?

i just noticed this thread, i want you babies and ur models. :p

if u need some1 to test i can help :):)

brilliant models! :cool:

The bar on the Officer's bar is a bit small width wise.

YaY I thought this had died.

Wow...too bad we cant get this kind of quality with an axis or brit pack. :D

Good work--once released, I will download :D

Mortar, if you're plastered for work and need some skinning done, e-mail me. vandal@fragspersecond.net

I want this in my dod folder.

Thanks for the offer man but i got the skining pretty much done.
3 Classes are already finished, the only thing left is the tommy and the sniper class bone assignments... (diffrent models).

Believe me, i want those in my folder aswell ;)

Keep us posted. Belive it or not some of us (err.... at least me) come to this board every day just to see progress on this project!

Yeah, I can't wait. These defaults are just getting nasty.

And dull, but nonetheless.
