[WIP] Virtus Body Armour System

Recommended Posts

I think 16aa use a slightly modified version of the mtp camo .paa for their in-house mods. We've worked with them closely in the past, but there is probably now a few modifications on any number of things. I'm not sure what texture Mike is using. It is certainly lighter than our current one, which was adjusted after Apex came out as it was too bright against the jungle. It might be a custom one he's made, a 16aa made one, or a pre-Apex version of ours. I can't say for sure looking at it.

What iv used is different to anything 16AA have used in the past, Current colours are darker than currently used, as i noticed in some references images from the British Army it was a lot darker than previously used by most parties in arma. But saying that the brightness of the pattern can easily be tweaked in the final version, at this time im more bothered about the mesh weighting and configing right and working in game.

I do have one question, will you make different variants that have different pouch and webbing configurations? Sort of similar to how 3CB have done theirs

J. Adams - Maybe read the description?

 

"Various configurations to suit certain roles."

The Webbing/glasses has had a road test on 2 MP missions without error, still need to address the stretching across the shoulders of the body Armour due to being busy with work. Pretty sure ur not supposed to post stuff like "any news on this?" it will be ready when its ready!

Just had a flick through the Pam; you're right. Fair one.

The vest and beltkit are looking spot on so far. Any plans to include non VIRTUS beltkit with the vest as well?

Show me some pictures of what you are thinking of and I can take it into consideration, I'm just a 3D guy not an expert

Maybe (as an idea) you could make the different brigade flashes accessible through the virtual arsenal insignias and then have your regular Regimental flashes as separate uniforms? It would allow milsim units to use the uniforms without having to create custom uniforms 

 

just a thought :)

To rely on that alone u wouldnt be able to maximise the use of the space, end of the day the uniforms are an added bonus and wernt in my original scope, units are free to use any of what I release or not and make their own. In the future I am planning on doing my own custom base uniform so I don't have to rely on retextuing vanilla uniforms. I will be releasing the uniform psd so those who want to can customise to suit!

Hey man, looks nice. Will you be making variants without the Virtus webbing so it's just the vest. Also will there be variants without pouches etc?

 

Like this image below, might give you ideas of diff variants :rthumb:
