2nd Rangers Multicam

[Nixo 10]

Hello everyone!

Here is some WIP screens of my 2nd Rangers in Multicam. The gear is not 100% correct etc, and some of the textures are placeholders until further texturing is done. If I could rate my own work by looking at the quality, I would say at this moment it is a 5/10. Since there is ALOT of arma 1 stuff on them, And sorry, can't upload them HERE since thay are WAY over 100kb

(the m16a4 with front grip is not mine, as some of you already know =))

Suggestions are always welcome!!!

And this is my first addon to armaII so don't expect any Super high quality stuff, but i'll do my best.

And by the way? Is it OK. to post wip stuff in a new topic or should this be moved to "WIP Stuff you are working on2"?

Regards

Nixo :)

Thanks Binkowski :P That pattern pic looks great! :P Think I am going to change the current pattern to that one.

Off to work with the units -> ^^

Lol, i see my Weapons on the pictures. :D

[Nixo 10]

Yes, I think they are fantastic. But need to ask you one thing, When i release my units may I use your weapons with my units? Since i probably have to ask before using them :D

@Nixo91, looking good mate, if you have a way of editing the texture colour might be worth trying to increase the amount of tan in the multicam, playing around with the colour balance might help, still looking good buddy.

Thanks for the feedback ;) Yup gotta fix the colour.

[Nixo 10]

Todays Progress--->>>

Tan(ed) the camo abit, added patches and other stuff on the uniform.

Changed the textures on some models.

Added Multicam vest.

Screeshots.

Hope you like the pictures, Sorry for the bad quality :( I know that the thing that the soldiers have on their shoulders (where you attach your flag patch etc) Does not look like that and the angle is wrong, I will most likely fix it sooner or later.

Nice work Nixo, hope to see them released soon :)

[Kristian 47]

Nice units :D

Mk17 / Mk16 would look pretty neat with those

Oh yes they would :P Anyone up for the job? :P Or is somebody already making them???

[Banderas 0]

More than probably ACE 2 will have Mk16/17 SCARS, Operation Arrowhead will have them for sure.

[Binkowski 26]

Try to take away that black border around the patch seams, doesn't need to be there. Sorry I'm such a stickler lol, I wear ACU's almost everyday and see some Rangers in Multicam so.

Looks great !

i've got alot more ref photo's of multicam. the guys in the pictures aren't rangers and are instead pararescuemen of the air force.

Vary nice job. Be nice to have an long range squad with big back packs, thats what they do this days. They fight it out in the mountains.

Hello again, I need some help with my helmets. Question: Are they OK? Do they look even a little like the MICH? Or should I completely remake the helmet?

Or is this helmet better? Ignore the camo etc just look at the shape of it! If this is better what should I improve on it?

US Army, at least, my division, and most all of the infantry divisions no longer use MICH. We now use ACH.

Just a few.

[Nixo 10]

Thanks Binkowski! I have modelled the helmets, they do now look more like the ACH MICH TC-2OOO. Dunno if it is the correct one that they use, But as far as I can see it looks pretty good. Now i have to make the textures fit the helmets shapes.

[Nixo 10]

Question!?

What type of backpacks do the Rangers use? I already have a not that great model of a Eagle MOLLE Modular Assault backpack or whatever it is called

IMAGE: http://markketting.com/zen-cart/images/309_Alt_1.jpg

and I have a question about my multicam texture. Here is the currentAs you can see it is more darker, colour are more visible

But in my oppinnion it looked to woodland(ish) so i made another version of it, NOTE THAT THE QUALITY IS NOT THAT BAD FOR REAL! IN ORDER TO GET THE PICTURES UNDER 100KB I HAD TO REDUCE THE QUALITY.

I have noticed that the lighter camo fits very well in desert enviroments :P

So wich one is better? Any more suggestions?

Yeah that second one looks really good mate, i'd go for that one if i were you, sorry i cant help on the backpack types...

[Clavicula_nox4817 0]

The second picture would be more accurate for a well-worn uniform and should be the one you use. Backpack should be the standard MOLLE assault pack or any other pack, really, it shouldn't matter that much. A bag is a bag is a bag.

Agreed. Basically, just give them SF Gear. Maybe even the Crye armor. If you want to do something "futuristic".

[Banderas 0]

The second texture looks much more authentical to me

[Hvymtal 1251]

Ditto

[Avandir 10]

The Ranger tab has no color on a real uniform. It's "subdued."

Google it.

None of the patches on a uniform have color, it's all subdued.

As I was. In a stateside garrison environment, they'd have color, in a combat zone, subdued.
