Female heads Mod (yes, another one)

[LykosMactire 298]

for good reference to the NATO combats look up Cyre percision because thats what it is

[serjames 357]

wow... super impressed !!

I like the idea of fat people, thin people, short, tall round etc etc lots of variety will really bring it to life....

Well done indeed !

aye aye, those kneepads looked familiar... i'll try to got for that style, if not, the model should be okay to not look out of place by the time it's done.

thank you! too kind ;) yeah, it just brings back that old feel that arma 2 had i suppose, a dynamic sort of feel, so no one is running around all muscular and tough, i mean, you can't possibly put an old guy in a t-shirt and shorts in vanilla A3 because the muscles he has just looks strange!

[LykosMactire 298]

dont forget the old woman that walks with a hunch xD

[zeealex 2029]

oh yeah, can't forget her, the hunchback of chenarus!

I hope this gets through. Even if there was a diaspora, there's still male civilians yet no females and it's weird that in development there were women, but in the full release there are none. Maybe BI will take note, although it seems like they're still busy with other problems.

Do you plan to make a female FIA soldier, though? Noting the various female rebels in pictures above, it'd would seem odd if none of the Altian women wanted to fight for their freedoms.

[zeealex 2029]

hmm, female FIA rebels, now theres an idea... i'll knuckle down with drawing them out when i've got time right now i'm testing a very roughly weighted NATO/AAF uniform

[zeealex 2029]

okay just a quick report:

the basic variation of the nato gear is in, working moderately well, weighting needs tweaking (as per norm) mostly to the right arm, you can probably see it, and there will be some model updates in the future, this one will probably be rehashed as the AAF gear. even though i prefer this look, obviously once the combat shirt has been textured properly it'll look better.

the model was modified to make it look like she was wearing a compression bra, in 2030-whatever it's a uniform requirement, so while she does have breasts, they aren't big, sorry guys! :P

the boots are using a rough self made texture, I can't live with only one Magnum Elite Spider variation in the game (big Magnum fan)

there will be a lot of camo variations available, from CSAT hex camo (I hope) to USMC MARPAT.

report is subject to change, and yes i know my graphics skills suck, i'm out of practice and it's nearly 3am XD

Holy @#$%, these pix look incredible. When (not if) you pull this all together you will never have to pay for your own beers again.

Very impressive work so far, I was glad to see that you decided against the bursting cleavage and even happier to see that you followed up with it.

The proportion is great, you really nailed the hourglass without making it too blatant and it so nice to see that you didn't conform the vests to her chest.

Is it my imagination or did you also shrink the widith of the arms just a bit as well?

The rigging is great and so far everything looks good, rough boot texture included, glad to see you're taking the extra steps to bring more life to the character.

If I had one thing to ask about it would be if perhaps the pink/red on her lips could be toned down some, right now it looks as though she is wearing lipstick.

You should've seen my grandfather then. :) He may be old, but doesn't look the part. The only reason he isn't cycling around the city anymore is that traffic increased and nobody on the road respects cyclists around here, so it's a rather risky endeavor. But then, he used to be a basketball player, later a referee (in addition to being a renowned chemistry professor :)). It's hardly unrealistic, if not that common, for an old man to have the "Arma III standard physique".

woohoo! I love beer! only in small doses though XD... thanks for the compliment dude :)

thank you! :) yeah i didn't initially intend to make them busty, character generator can be fiddly sometimes, but now i know that chest compression is actually worn, I'm more aware of how big the breasts actually should be in terms of our vest clad friends.

i did indeed shrink the arms down a bit, they looked a little weird being big and the shoulders being broad, so i took them in a bit.

aye aye, the face textures are going to be rejigged at some point either way, Mason's face is currently too bright and her eyes look quite weird, so I'll tone down the lips while I'm there. ;)

i can understand it can still be realistic, i've seen a few muscular old guys myself, but not many, most of the ones i see are quite sickly in appearance.

UPDATE:

Oakley SI assault glove successfully implemented.

[motorizer 12]

her eyes look quite weird

That would be my only criticism, she does look a bit cross eyed.

You work fast, good stuff. Keep it up :)

Have you look at the voice configs?

[petek 62]

Looking really good - really appreciate your efforts on this and good luck with the A levels

haha! she did, thankfully only Oakes does that, and it looks fairly okay now that the eyes are rigged, Mason suffers no issue, in terms of texture though, she's got crazy eyes because i boosted the specularity of the texture a little too much.

haven't looked at voice configs yet, i'll see what i can do now, if i can get some basic level voices in there, happy days. i'll record it if i can get it working.

danke freund! :D thankfully my graphics A-level will be over on Thursday, so I'll be less strapped for time.

[kilroy the nerd 14]

One more idea though. Seeing as NK uses female soldiers, CSAT probably would too, yeah? So how about an Arabic female? Not even necessarily limited to CSAT though, if you consider for example, Islam is the 3rd largest religion in the U.S., or the population of 44 million Muslims in Europe.

[zeealex 2029]

i'm planning on it, i've got asian and middle eastern/west asian heads ready for importing, I'm just getting uniforms and what's currently ingame sorted out, otherwise it's going to become a massive mess and i'll lose track of everything. it's on the cards, don't worry.

I was playing around with BB's Female Soldiers in A2/CO and noted they also did not have any voices. I think the easiest way to get voices is to just remaster the male voices, make the pitch higher and tweak it a bit, then remap a new config to this model to use the new voices. I think you can check the use the ARMA 2 samples sounds PBO but you would need to see the male model config to map it correctly.

Arma 2 OA does have a female voice, it worked on the bb female soldiers mod on my setup, and the tanya female mod had it, and I added it myself to a mod that had female soldiers and no voices (ADO company I think).

Speaker is Female01EN_EP1, injury and out of breath sounds must be set up separately , but they are there.

I think arma 3 has more sounds for breathing and injury though, so either some more sounds would have to be sourced, or some would have to be used multiple times....

I was talking about the spoken words - enemy at 6 oclock, and etc... The only sounds I heard with BB Female Soldier mod was the "ugh" pain sound and a couple of other effects but thats it.

There is definitely a full female voice set for A2/OA: words, breathing, pain sounds. Schnappsdrosel's female soldiers use it. I don't think it would be portable into A3 though (but would be happy to be proven wrong)

This mod is gettin' better and better. Keep it up! I hope to see women in Arma 3 soon, as well as in my mod. :D

thank you! by all means when it's done feel free! :D

okay just to settle the score on voices. it seems the radio dubbing .pbo files for both arma 2 and arma 3 are similar, but at the same time very different, but I think it is possible, i think the filenames will probably need changing to coincide with Arma 3's handling of the voice files, but a lot of the clauses that are there are relatively similar to the arma 3 ones, but she'll sound like a robot, just bear that in mind. XD

for now though, I need to update the torso model of the NATO soldier, I managed to make a HUGE mistake in Oxygen 2 by accident, I squarized the model and now it's giving a lot of issues with weighting.

I'm also going to break off the glove texture into it's own independent file for easier imports, and the highest possible resolution (I'm assuming that you guys like to play in first person) low resolution textures will look really kind of crappy so that's being revamped today as well I'm also going to tessellate the model once more for some more precision weights.
