get a program like Xnormals. make a texture using plain fabric textures (ie no camo pattern on them) useing the burn and dogde tool to highlight parts that you want to have depth (crinkles, molle straps, so on so forth. keep all the stiching and everything there. convert it to a black and white image, make sure its not to dark. then use Xnormals to generate a normal map, use the parts you want from that in your _NOHQ file.

and then theres the mich 2002 which is cross between the 00 and 01 series :P.... but enough off topicness lol

PASGT = Personnel Armor System for Ground Troops. theres a pasgt vest and helmet iirc.

yes atm tl is 01, atl 02 and so on but is jsut a texture that dosnt change (ie if you place two teamleaders down both will be C01)

UV mapped and basic texture on some helmet stuff. Cheers Rhodesy.

ok few more things done, ACU tweaks, vest colour tweaked a tad. pouches all aranged, new helmet texture, modeled the NV battery, along with the two straps at the back of the helmet, wire running from nvb to nvg mount, and a velcro patch to keep that wire in place. all cept the wire arnt UV mapped yet. also new texture on the peltor C2's. http://img193.imageshack.us/i/tl1d.jpg/ http://img3.imageshack.us/i/tl2hn.jpg/ http://img837.imageshack.us/i/tl3d.jpg/ Cheers Rhodesy.

as far as im aware rangers do not, never have, and more than likely never will use the MICH2001. but keep up the work.

with some spare time ive been completely redoing my ucp acu. so heres a small glimps at it in its current state. its about the 4th time ive redid it lol. anyway still dont have much spare time due to family reasons, but they are still going strong, can prolly expect a release in the coming weeks. Cheers Rhodesy

ahh i see, yer mate will look into it.

@Lennard, you mean like this? :P still thinking about the webbing, should i leave em how it is with just a simply H-harness type webbing or something more? ideas? PM me :) Cheers Rhodesy

work goes on new helmet cover, molle straps on small parts of the vest, and started work on the BDU's.

becuase they take pride in what they make?...

no its not a RBA, however certain parts of it were insperations from it. so no they arnt early 90's rangers :P (though that would be a cool idea :P) im working to get these guys to fit in to icebreakr's lingor Armaverse so yer.

something ive been working on for a few months now (well on and off, and since the anouncement of lingor) only just recently picked it up again to give me a lil break from the rangers (and this project allows me to be creative). these guys (well currently only one guy, more should come) are being made mainly for use with lingor, got my own lil back story but ill save that for later, so once the lingor beta is released ill be tweaking these guys to fit in near perfectly with the jungle. the vest is of a "local" design based off older US vests, old pasgt helmets, basic webbing and kit and US woodland cams in a local cut (btw when i say local i mean "their" design, not saying who they are yet but :P). in the last 6 hours i've completely rebuilt (textured and a lil model work) the vest from the arma1 sample models, so what you see is the clean version, planning to do alot of detailed wear and tear making these guys look like they have spent days out bush. also the BDU's you see there are place holders. anyway been having ALOT of fun making these guys so will prolly finish em.... maybe.... lol Cheers Rhodesy.

hey guys just a short update, work does go on but due to a family member being in a serious condition i wont beable to do as much work on these as every few days i gota drive 5 hours to see em... anyway just leting you all know this does go on.

ever think that they would rather make their own models?.... let them work on it in peace...

is it really needed to redo the pouches? the models them selves are just fine, its the textures that are aging, with the help of sabre (the texture god himself :P) johnny's pouches on my rangers look amazing, if you want examples i can get close ups, but making all new models where you dont NEED all new models seems like a unneeded waste of time. just my 2c anyway.

umm why does that guy have a mag pouch on this left pants pocket?

k guys enough talk about other mods please. now with this pic http://i37.tinypic.com/ejs80k.jpg whats that peice of kit on the back of the helmet, ive seen it on other rangers but wasnt paited, like a black box on the back there. ideas? also any1 got model names or just names of the flash light some rangers may use on their helmet?

guys if you had of actualy read my post insted of JUST looking at the pic you would of noticed i said quite clearly that i will be redoing/working on the helmet textures... i know what they look like, i have put a shitload of time into researching for these guys, i know what most things should look like, so please stop and just wait to see what i come up with, THEN you can start pointing out mistakes...

glasses should prolly be left off, since people can add their own eyewhere when in mp, otherwise you get some funky clipping issues.

oh ffs just let them make it however they fucking want! enough of these lists, let it be released and work on what they go ffs.....

well like promised heres a screen of all the units in MC, spent the last god damn 5 hours geting them to this stage to show, pretty much at a beta stage (playable and looking OK) on the todo list is more helmet stuff (more kit for them + custom paint jobs for them), refining of the MC and few uniform tweaks. and addign a slight dust later over the vest and kit, as it looks pretty new atm. ALL CREDIT for the multicam textures go to ardvark as they are straight from him (with permissions) all ive done is a few tweaks here and there. also when i was asking for refs of helmet shit was more talking about actual torches straped onto the helmet haha, i got pretty much everything else (including the surefire light). but yer work goes on, bit quicker now since i got the next 4 days off work :D. Cheers Rhodesy.

As of now Project Aus is a go! Project Aus is a ArmA2 modification that will bring modern Australian Defence Force units to the game. Project Aus started off as a personal project between a few mates, but recently it has been decided that we will go public with our releases. Currently we are focusing on just geting australian units into the game, therefor for our first release a large amount of the mod will be re-skinned or modified community addons (with all permissions and credits of course) as we are currently short of a experienced 3D modeler. However, after we get a initial release out to the public, and have more experience under our belts, we do plan to model our own eqipment. Also we will be recieving 3D models and textures from our friends of the ADF mod for the Project Reality mod for BF2. (shown below) Anyway onto the pictures, please keep in mind that we are still chasing permissions for some of these units, therefor we claim NO credit for the following models (unless stated) all credit is with their respective creators, only thing currently that is our own work is the skins (unless stated, and this will change in the future) WIP's MRH90 http://i271.photobucket.com/albums/jj123/Rockyrhodes_77/arma22009-07-2301-14-40-07.jpg http://i271.photobucket.com/albums/jj123/Rockyrhodes_77/arma22009-07-2301-14-53-94.jpg http://i271.photobucket.com/albums/jj123/Rockyrhodes_77/arma22009-07-2301-15-33-37.jpg CH-47 http://i271.photobucket.com/albums/jj123/Rockyrhodes_77/chook4.jpg http://i271.photobucket.com/albums/jj123/Rockyrhodes_77/chook5-1.jpg http://i271.photobucket.com/albums/jj123/Rockyrhodes_77/chook1.jpg Kiowa (pictures on the way) S-70 Blackhawk (pictures on the way) F/A-18 Hornet (pictures on the way) C-130 Hercules (pictures on the way) Aslav/Aslav-pc http://i271.photobucket.com/albums/jj123/Rockyrhodes_77/aslavsexy.jpg http://i271.photobucket.com/albums/jj123/Rockyrhodes_77/HQ.jpg http://i271.photobucket.com/albums/jj123/Rockyrhodes_77/lookfamilliar.jpg M113AS4 (pictures on the way) Auscam Troops (pictures on the way) Descam Troops http://i271.photobucket.com/albums/jj123/Rockyrhodes_77/smallert.jpg http://i271.photobucket.com/albums/jj123/Rockyrhodes_77/haha.jpg F-88 Aus steyr* http://i271.photobucket.com/albums/jj123/Rockyrhodes_77/87800294.jpg http://i271.photobucket.com/albums/jj123/Rockyrhodes_77/23612675.jpg F-89 Minimi* http://i271.photobucket.com/albums/jj123/Rockyrhodes_77/53464036.jpg http://i271.photobucket.com/albums/jj123/Rockyrhodes_77/MINIMI.jpg http://i271.photobucket.com/albums/jj123/Rockyrhodes_77/12489790.jpg Carl Gustav M3* http://i271.photobucket.com/albums/jj123/Rockyrhodes_77/69327814.jpg http://i271.photobucket.com/albums/jj123/Rockyrhodes_77/76730035.jpg SR-98* http://i271.photobucket.com/albums/jj123/Rockyrhodes_77/promo2_desert.jpg http://i271.photobucket.com/albums/jj123/Rockyrhodes_77/promo2_woodland.jpg http://i271.photobucket.com/albums/jj123/Rockyrhodes_77/promo_desert.jpg http://i271.photobucket.com/albums/jj123/Rockyrhodes_77/promo_woodland.jpg http://i271.photobucket.com/albums/jj123/Rockyrhodes_77/selection_woodland.jpg SR-25* (pictures on the way) Bushmaster APC* http://i271.photobucket.com/albums/jj123/Rockyrhodes_77/bushy4-1.jpg http://i271.photobucket.com/albums/jj123/Rockyrhodes_77/bushy5-1.jpg http://i271.photobucket.com/albums/jj123/Rockyrhodes_77/bushy1.jpg http://i271.photobucket.com/albums/jj123/Rockyrhodes_77/bushy2.jpg http://i271.photobucket.com/albums/jj123/Rockyrhodes_77/bushy3.jpg (Everything with a * next to them has been provided by the ADF team of the PR mod, thanks again guys.)

its coming along, slowly, currently working on some things for it that i wont mention, but what i do need from you lot is the name (and type) of some of the helmet kit the rangers use (ie flashlights and so on, and other helmet configerations, pretty much just a shitload of helmet pics that point out whats what, i haev a strobe and that so yer, but yer, thats what i pretty much need most atm. oh also any good refs (with names of types) of the backpacks often found with the rangers. im away all day today and most of tomorow but if i get time i will post pics of the new MC. Cheers Rhodesy.
