astast 12 Posted January 18, 2013 Hello everyone, I'm astast and i just started making my own units! This is all new for me but i'm making good progress (I like the think so at least) anyways i have started making danish specialforces and danish anti terror units but also american Navy Seals. I will make all models from scratch and i will try to do my best to make the gear look as real as possible so i can deliver all the sweet gear we all like ;) Since this is my first project regarding model making and unit making for that matter i'm what some people would call a noob and i'm not professional in any way i just want to do my fair share and i hope i can pay this awesome community back for a few great years :D Any feedback and help is greatly appreciated. For now i don't have much, i started making the vest but figured out i wanted to make a base model and then make vest on top and after that make the model fit the vest and other gears on the body. Here is some very WIP of my work so far: Hope you like it. Best Regards astast :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

scarecrow398 43 Posted January 19, 2013 Jaegercorps eh? nice change of pace; best of luck. Unfortunatly as i said i'm still learning and i haven't attempted any fabric/organic based modeling, only solid, so if i have any weapon lights, sights, NVG's ect i'll pass them on.

astast 12 Posted January 19, 2013 Thanks guys for the kind comments ;) @Scarecrow398 Don't worry about it it's my first time too, but they will need nvg right? If so i want to make my own i think they were named gpnvg or something like that. And the Jaegercorps is a unit on the same level as seals only difference is that they are danish, but since denmark is so small noone really knows about them.

astast 12 Posted January 19, 2013 (edited) I have made a 2000x2000 big picture with camo for my seals there is no place on the texture that is the same so they won't have any similarities that will be looking weird ;) here is what a small part looks like: I cant show you the whole thing because i wanna keep this from people who will use it in a wrong way. If you want to use it on your units pm me! *EDIT* Just finnished a 160th soar helmet I want to make some real army pilots instead of the BIS here is some WIP of it: I need to add a few things to it but i think it will be good :) Regards astast Edited January 19, 2013 by astast Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jumpnjack 10 Posted January 19, 2013 Is it possible to make a "light" unit stripped of all the gear for training purposes. I was making a machinima earlier and I couldn't find Seals with their training outfit. So I had to settle for 'this remove weapons' in the init. It turned out ok but I really whished for a light unit. Check it out if you like: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Check it out if you like: Yes i know the feel when you want a scene of a base where the units wear light gear so i will make that if it wont be to much of a problem :) I will wait for the base model to take shape and be done then i will make the unit without gear first and then later all the gear :D one question would it be okay for the unit just to wear a vest without pouches? If so then i will do it no matter what since i will make all pouches and other gear hidden selections when at that point. I can also make one without a vest but that will be another model and i would have to rig it and i don't know how that is done so if anyone knows and wanna share some information on how that's done i would be very happy Thanks Edited January 19, 2013 by astast Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
astast 12 Posted January 20, 2013 Hello, Okay so here is the thing!
