Aeneas2020 10 Posted November 17, 2009 (edited) So i was goofing around online last night and i found this pic. http://i103.photobucket.com/albums/m140/Aeneas2020/close-protection-unit.jpg I've been working with some cool ways to speed up my texturing processes including custom texture tools in PS. So i figured...let's see if i can crank out a skin before the missus finishes dinner. Here are the results. The unit pictured in the photo is a member of the Royal Military Police: Close Protection Unit. Anyway these guys will be released once i get my UK Special Forces units out. OH and sorry for the name change confusion but i'm now going by my old screen name Aeneas2020 instead of Ascanius. http://i103.photobucket.com/albums/m140/Aeneas2020/RMPCPUDay1a.jpg http://i103.photobucket.com/albums/m140/Aeneas2020/RMPCPUDay1b.jpg http://i103.photobucket.com/albums/m140/Aeneas2020/RMPCPUDay1c.jpg Still need to tidy up a couple of little things and then remove the camo face and arms but other than that these are pretty much done. Also binkowski is helping me with configging on my previous lot so im sure he'll have plenty to help me with on these lol. Edited November 17, 2009 by Aeneas2020 adding required binkowski shout out!

GoOB 0 Posted November 17, 2009 Any chance of a future collaboration with STALKERGB? Perhaps in future you will be able to reskin his models or something to that effect. Sterling job with these though, just as with the special forces. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
das attorney 857 Posted November 18, 2009 Wow! Really good stuff - would be perfect for a 'snatch the VIP from the Brits' scenario. EDIT: That's quick too! I don't normally get anything productive done before dinner! :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Laqueesha 474 Posted November 18, 2009 (edited) The model and textures look very nice, but there's just one problem... On all three of the pictures, the U.K. flag is upside down on the arm(s). Edited April 12, 2010 by Laqueesha Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PTV-Jobo 820 Posted November 18, 2009 Sweet zombie jesus, those textures are just wicked! Care to sell me some of your talents? Do you accept Paypal? ;) Seriously though, really great work. Someday would be awesome to have you share some pointers with the community to help improve the quality of textures. :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've actually talked to stalker a lot but we'll have to wait and see what comes of it when he releases. I have confidence his work is going to blow everyone away however.

Wire 0 Posted November 18, 2009 Fully loving it mate. One question: how effective is that british DPM desert camo interms of the environment itself? any chance u might lighten it up atad and make it more capable to blend in? from the pics they look quite bold and dark compared to the reference pic and real gear, but that might just be becoz of the after effects of the pic. Just a suggestion aye, dw if u dont change it :) Apart from that im loving it heaps. Always fully for an British SF, SBS, SAS, SFG, etc etc ^^ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aeneas2020 10 Posted November 18, 2009 Well i actually brightened up the background a little in photoshop to make the player stand out more. I'll try and shoot some vid or post some action shots this week with nothing done to them. In the mean time the green DPM version is done (although not sure about the brown arm patches). http://i103.photobucket.com/albums/m140/Aeneas2020/RMPCPUDay1d.jpg I can also do a variant with camo pouches and armour easily enough but not tonight i'm done. Thanks for the kind response all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ludovico Technique 0 Posted November 18, 2009 Of all the units you could have made you had to make the plod. For shame. :( Just kidding, looks epic. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Inkompetent 0 Posted November 18, 2009 Very, very sexy units! Should be 18+ ESRB rating on those for the pure hotness! :o Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alex72 1 Posted November 18, 2009 Oh and the helmet bands are black in the real photo. :) Awesome work man. Great talent. Looking forward to these units! Alex Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lone.wolf 80 Posted November 18, 2009 Super looking units, like always topnotch quality... Will the also come in woodland camo, or only desert...?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Protegimus 0 Posted November 18, 2009 Any plans to do models to represent covert CP operators to add to these? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aeneas2020 10 Posted November 18, 2009 Super looking units, like always topnotch quality...Will the also come in woodland camo, or only desert...?? There is a woodland camo pic at the top of the page. @ Alex...Yeh there are several black bans on the real photo. I was unsure about whether i should stick to it 100% because i didn't know how much of it was personal gear. Either way i still have to touch up some dark spots on the camo so i'll make the straps black then. Also i'll be doing a generic "Brit direct action" guy. With the brown faded (at work can't remember the name for the stupid thing) brit flag and a tan helmet as well as camo body armor. So people can use them as SAS type assault guys. Again these are just reskins i won't be changing the model. My past experience is with textures i need to learn O2 before i can move on to modelling. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chrisgs 10 Posted November 18, 2009 Excellent, love em, just as already said Union flag upside down, big no no, otherwise yeh push em out mate, they look real good. Thanks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Laqueesha 474 Posted November 18, 2009 (edited) http://i103.photobucket.com/albums/m140/Aeneas2020/RMPCPUDay1d.jpg The U.K. flag on the arm is upside-down. Edited April 12, 2010 by Laqueesha Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TRexian 0 Posted November 18, 2009 LMAO Guys - I thought you were pulling his leg about the flag being upside down! It always seemed like it was symmetrical! But, in having a look at it, I guess the white outline areas inside the red stripe-parts have a specific narrow side/wide side. In looking at it - the skin isn't upside down, I don't think. If you rotated it, it would have the same problem. In PS, the layer needs to be flipped vertically. That would give the correct striping. I think. :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aeneas2020 10 Posted November 18, 2009 interestingly enough the flag is the right side up on the texture but i just figured out that the arm is mirrored in game (so it was appearing the wrong way)...most odd. I took me about an hour to realize....lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aeneas2020 10 Posted November 19, 2009 UPDATE: Day 2 Change List: RMP CPU Desert: 1) Right the flag so it is now the correct way up 2) Moved flag to correct arm as shown in ref pic 3) Made helmet chin straps black 4) Made goggles black 5) Added other misc details 6) Brightened overall tone and redid some of the darker areas on the camo http://i103.photobucket.com/albums/m140/Aeneas2020/RMPDesDay2c.jpg http://i103.photobucket.com/albums/m140/Aeneas2020/RMPDesDay2b.jpg http://i103.photobucket.com/albums/m140/Aeneas2020/RMPDesDay2a.jpg RMP CPU Green DPM: 1) Same as Desert 2) Same as Desert 3) Added Misc details http://i103.photobucket.com/albums/m140/Aeneas2020/RMPTempDay2I.jpg Created: GENERIC Desert and Green DPM "Assault" Infantry ...or whatever you want to call them. Add the moment they have a parachute badge on the arm patch, this isn't accurate but i've had a lot of requests for this type of unit as a reskin and if i'm not going to adjust the model i mays well just go to town on them. Included are screenshots of the Desert and Green versions. The desert version i also tweaked the helmet texture to give it a more faded, scratched and dirty look that shows better in game than in the shots. http://i103.photobucket.com/albums/m140/Aeneas2020/DADesDay2g.jpg http://i103.photobucket.com/albums/m140/Aeneas2020/DATempDay2h.jpg http://i103.photobucket.com/albums/m140/Aeneas2020/DADesDay2f.jpg http://i103.photobucket.com/albums/m140/Aeneas2020/DADesDay2d.jpg As promised earlier all shots are 100% from the game with no editing etc etc PLEASE NOTE THE CAMO FACE PAINT IS NOT MINE AND WILL NOT BE ON THE FINAL RELEASE I NEED TO REMOVE IT IN THE CONFIGS.

Inkompetent 0 Posted November 19, 2009 (edited) Holy schmoly! Really, really sexy units you got there! Even though the previous version of them was hot this new edit looks even more... brutal. The dark bits do quite a lot for awesomeness. Edited November 19, 2009 by Inkompetent Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
