Jed, sorry to have to post this here but I could not PM or Email you, nor could I find an email address to contact you at, Mr. Sneaky.

I was curious if you would be opposed to me doing a custom reskin of your excellent British Para models? I'll be redoing some pieces of them and leaving some of your great work intact. Mostly just some camo changes and additions of gloves, changes in some face textures, etc.

Please let me know here or via PM if there are any objections.

Thanks!

I think that Jed is pretty much not able to access the internet at all because of his computer problems. I remember him saying he would hardly be around for quite some time. Tough loss for all of us as I'm sure you all appreciate his work as much as I. You could always hope against hope that he somehow manages to find a way to look at the forums. As far as editing his stuff he is pretty prickly when it comes to using his work:D :D I still love ya Jed :p but as I said, its worth a try.

Anderson That is precisely why I asked first. I don't want to step on any toes. :)

well you can already start working :) as long as you don't release it to public without his permission I'm sure he wouldn't mind ;)

One thing that kept me from using Trp. Jed's Paras were indeed the faces. They could use a good reskin, plus an integration of helmets and berets into one pack.

Jed is quite picky about his models being used by other people.
But he might let The Great Dillinger reskin them.
He was doing a v2 of those models, but his HDD died, and lost all data. So you never know.

Still working on V2 when I get time. I've almost finished the meshes, just working on some tricks to make the arms bend better without distorting.

As for needing better face textures - funny how at the time they were l337 and now everyong thinks their a bit naff...

Guess that's a no then Dill mate lol

Well as it says on my site, if you want to tweak them to me send me info on what your doing and some screenshots. Whether or not I aggree depends on if I feel the quality of the re-skin is up to it.

I mean if you remember the months of work I put into those models to try and get them right, last thing you want is naff re-skin.

Im not anti reworking my stuff - I just only tend to give release permission to those derivitive works that really do add something extra. Call me an asshat but its my little way of trying to provoke a bit of creativity and effort rather than a case of Jed's entire para pack + 1 added arm patch = Mr Cools. Uber new British Airborne pack.

Aye I see your point, but it's Dill! When has he ever released anything below par? His work has constantly been excellent pretty much since he started showing his stuff off here.

But as you say, its your decision to release permission or not.

Damned if I do and damned if I dont arent I really? Cuz "its Dill" I'll get booed off the stage for saying no. :)
