75th Ranger Regiment

[lennard 447]

I do believe those are rangers, they're using ranger green eagle industries kit. Army SF, SEALs, PJs, and all other SOF use tan kit mostly.

I saw those pics too, and while the captain reads "Afghan international security forces" i'll bet my new altama boots those cats are 75th.

Was thinking the exact samething when I saw them the first time.

Defenately rangers.

I'm sure it's a battery pack for NODS ;)

[sabre 244]

Yeah it'd be the NV battery, not sure if this is the one on the operator pic, but think this is the one in Clawhammer's pic;

Those look great!

[papanowel 120]

Really nice Rhodesy.

I will follow this attentively.

[Rhodesy77 11]

UV mapped and basic texture on some helmet stuff.

Cheers

Rhodesy.

[lennard 447]

Quality stuff man. Keep it up :)

[m1n1d0u 29]

it's so magnific ! i love it, but i have a little question. In the rear of the helmet we see C01 does it change with different unit ? 01 leader 02 AT 03 MG or a thing like this ?

[Rhodesy77 11]

yes atm tl is 01, atl 02 and so on but is jsut a texture that dosnt change (ie if you place two teamleaders down both will be C01)

[m1n1d0u 29]

oki oki that's cool , and np for 2 leaders it's just for massive coop a number on a precise class it's perfect.

[enad 11]

Looks really good! I love it!!

[Fox '09 14]

Any updates??? These guys are so cool

[Rhodesy77 11]

not alot atm, simply working on my ucp acu texture atm... had alot of family issues lately (currently have my niece and nephew, who are 4 year old twins! staying with me, so thats taking alot of my time....)once the ucp texture is done i just have to do a few things here and there and we should be good to go for a beta release.

Woo Hoo!

Great!

Keep up the good work.

[Spaceman0372 19]

ETA to release?

[Rhodesy77 11]

When its done... been really busy with real life atm so things are going slow, but work is still going on. no eta.

EDIT:

ok decided to do a bit more of a detailed wip report, well kinda. In short the main reason its taking so long is i keep deciding to redo things, things im just not happy with. this list includes:-

- Vest, to thin and not bulky enough

- uniform textures, just cant get them how i want them, and imho these are the most important of the mod.

- helmet textures, same with the uniform, just working em till i get them how i want.

- modeling some new kit for them, still need to get around to finishing these.

- overall detail, certain parts are lacking the sort of detail i want.

and a pic to keep whoever is interested in these happy..

Cheers

Rhodesy.
