Looking forward to all of these wonderful little projects fox!

And the IBA is so much lighter than the IOTV.

My unit had Eagle CIRAS vests, which pwned both the IOTV and IBA :P

[Binkowski 25]

I wish my unit was cool enough to have CIRAS. But noo, we are not.

But being a rebl is pretty cool :P

So is the CIRAS meant to replace IOTV then? Or just something being tested?

[Fox '09 14]

Looks great. Pouches are still not matching the vest. But overall it looks awesome.

[Fox '09 14]

anyway, to normal map or not to normal map the stitches ?

Its a vest issued to US Army SF units.

@fox

Awesome work dude! Just one little nit picky thingy: the helmets look a little too thin, like they don't have helmet covers over them.

[Fox '09 14]

im in the process of redoing the pockets

[enad 11]

Looks really awesome actually.

+1 to what USRANGER said about the helmets. But you know this, I've told you tons of times. :p

Plus they dont look like cloth. They look like a Plastic or Metal with ACU paint on them lol. Try to give it a cloth look.

[Fox '09 14]

Im working out how to do the helmets right now. i might end up modeling a new one or using johnny's as a base

[sabre 244]

Magazines are around the wrong the way, open end goes to the bottom. They definately wouldn't have magpuls on them that way aswell haha.

[Fox '09 14]

hmm ok will check out, these are just johnny's models. I could try to flip em.

edit:

actually might be better just to close it on the textures.

my todo:

add variation

add better groin pad

lessen selections

add shoulder pads (?)

add accurate loadouts

fix res lods

fix shadow lods

re-do pockets

add officer

improve helmet

... and then i'm done with 1.0.. :o... :(

Nice!!

About the helmet, I'd say just use jonnys as a base and try to model it thicker.

[Fox '09 14]

ok ill try that.

btw. anyone have any references of the USMC's uniform from when they were wearing IBAs and desert marpat? i promised i would do some marines a while ago.

edit:

atm giving us army soldiers correkt weapons.

Correct glasses, too?

[enad 11]

Wow, good point!

Fox, could you give all units Protective glasses(maybe some can have sunglasses instead) and all units some sort of gloves. I hate seeing them without eye gear and gloves when almost every single US Army soldier wears them.

[Fox '09 14]

maybe glasses on some

but gloves on most / all for sure

[Binkowski 25]

Mags are just a texture, should be able to change the uv map on it at least.

[enad 11]

Great! Would be really awesome(and realistic) to see glasses and gloves on all your guys. :D

[Rhodesy77 11]

glasses should prolly be left off, since people can add their own eyewhere when in mp, otherwise you get some funky clipping issues.

[sabre 244]

Don't need to edit anything other than change the exposed rounds part to a mag floor plate. 2 sec job.

[STALKERGB 6]

Yeah I would have thought just inverting the UV map for it would sort the problem (assuming there is a mag floor plate part to the texture)....

EDIT: Actually that would probably reverse the lighting as well, and we wouldn't want that. Yeah just texture the floor plate ontop of the open end... (like Sabre said)
