I'm sure I'll lvoe it, it's just finding one that I can afford. I've seen some that are crazy expensive, I don't have a job though.

Haha, I wish it was as simple as buying her a puppy and flowers, I would have already done that. *Small Update* I'm currently trying to get a drawing tablet so that I can start using zbrush to help improve my models, the bad thing is if I do that, I will have to restart my vest which to be honest, I'm not to mad about because I know I can do better. In the mean time, keep giving me ideas!

This mod is NOT dead, I have a lot on my plate right now, with School, relationship problems, etc. So, give me some time, I'll be back but if you don't hear from me in a few days, don't freak out, this mod will not die.

Thanks for the input on the boltcutters, I may do that but that would make the file of the mod even bigger, and more work for my texture person, but I'll definitely think about it, because you're right, not everyone runs around with a pair of boltcutters. About the Glock, I'm pretty sure it is the angle, but I'll look into that as well.

I haven't thought about that until now, and it's actually not a bad idea, because you are completely right, the JPC is a more low profile vest so there isn't a ton of room for grenades/203 shells. Thanks for the idea, I'll look into it. I have some news tha may be coming out soon regarding the mod, but don't expect it to die any time soon at all :)

Absolutely. Lately, I've been so cluttered with school work, preparing for a "mini"cation, so I haven't been able to work on the vest a whole bunch, if any at all. But, it's getting there, I promise :)

Im already using the sample character to model around. Work on the vest is a bit slow at the moment to do school work, but I promise an update will be coming soon.

No need to apologize, I understand it's not great, it's a huge WIP, and yes it is my first vest. It's nowhere near done, and can use a lot more detail which I will be doing in modeling and texturing, I'll appreciate any help from any body, so I'll for sure shoot you a message.

I might make backpacks in a later version of the mod. Also, there is a radio pouch on the right cumberbund (Not shown in the picture), I will work on smoke grenades and possibly frags. Thanks for the advice.

See, I was thinking about adding a CamelPak, but decided against it, because most of the time you're going to be wearing a backpack, so it would be useless and be a waste of poly's. So, I decided to add the bolt cutters because even with a backpack, you will still see them. I do, however agree with the pouches. Which ones would you recommend? I can't make all these decisions on my own, I need input, guys and gals!

Thanks for the kind words, Shammy. Little update, I took about 5-10 minutes to whip up a pair of Bolt Cutters to put on the carrier, because the back panel was looking a bit plain: http://gyazo.com/442a462e9c48851db2d8eddb66e730bf I'm starting to run out of ideas, so what would you guys like to see on the carrier in a later stage?

Hey, thanks for the kind words! Although I am in High School currently so I don't have a whole lot of time to work on them, any time I do get goes towards the vest. I don't expect this to die out any time soon, I have great people who are helping to encourage me through the struggles of making this, so I don't think I'll stop. I totally agree Arma 3 is definitely missing a lot of good gear that we need/want, which is the main reason I decided to start this pack, I'll try to update this thread atleast every day, but there might be 2 or more days in between updates. If you have anything you would like to see, or any tips on what to add to the carrier, feel free to message me or post it on here. I've went through and smoothed some things out, added a holster with a gun (Glock, the most common) in it. Before you say "But, some of us don't like holsters on our carriers" when this is released, there will be the following variations: Rifleman w/ Holster Rifleman w/out Holster Grenadier Medic These will all have different things on them such as pouches, 203 shells, etc. Picture of the Rifleman w/ Holster currently: http://gyazo.com/1e957dd0143a09137f1269585a0d9a8c

I'm using 3ds Max, I also just added the keycuffs to the carrier and also scaled the carrier down a bit, it's a bit above to belly button now. http://gyazo.com/979abbe5cfb2017d34280b8f2dbc589a I edited the keycuffs a bit so that they now are held in by the molle webbing, it has very sharp edges right now, because I did it in just a few minutes because it's late and I have to get to sleep, so tomorrow I will smooth it out, make it fit a bit better, etc. http://gyazo.com/ccbcf7846282b2e4e9f68791001b8f8c

I know, it's going to be pretty easy scaling it down a little bit to the right size, I just want to get everything on it, smooth everything out, etc.

Wow yours is absolutely incredible, WarLord. I agree it does need to be formed a bit more to the body, and it is definitely very low poly (3000's) so, I'm going to work on those and update this post as I go along :)

I'll just post the links to the pictures on here.

That's odd, me neither. I'll try to figure out the problem and fix it.

I'm working on a vest, and I want to do my own textures, but I have no clue how. I need a complete guide, how to get the template of my vest into Gimp/PS, how to actually texture this, everything. I know this sounds like a lot, but I want to be able to do everything for this, so please help me out a bit.

Hmm, haven't found any of those yet. Guess I'll keep looking.

Yeah, I'm using 3ds, I just need to know how to make the template, how to actually texture it, everything else. I really wanna become independent and do everything myself.

I think I remember watching that, that doesn't show how to get the template of MY vest, only for the things already in arma.

I've used Gimp before, so I know how to use it. But I've tried Youtube and there are 0 tutorials for texturing Arma 3. Atleast I can't find any.

Hey, everyone. I'm currently working on a Plate Carrier - Crye JPC - and the carrier itself is just about done, now I just need pouches to go on it. Does anybody know of any good pouches (including magazine, utility, etc.) I can use? I haven't been able to find any, and it would be way to complicated for my beginner self to make them.

I don't think you guys are being rude at all, I know what you are saying. I've always liked a challenge, and I'm the only one in our clan that can 3d Model, so I'm the only one who can do this.

I said that in my previous post "this includes the complete model, texturing, and armour values." Even if I don't get it completely done, it needs to atleast be ingame.
