spearhead 0 Posted May 29, 2005 Share Posted May 29, 2005 Addon maker marfy (recognised for his WWII tank skills) has created two images that show (on the left) the original pictures of units created by bis and (on the right) his edited picture to show how he feels the proportions of the unit should be changed. Here is how I imagine [OFP: DR] soldiers with right proportions of the head, body and muscles. What do you think? Also, I added a collar to the bulletproof vest of the US soldier. Without it, it would look like a fisherman's vest Another important "detail" is a "noseband" on the helmet! I am absolutely sure that the developers are not blind and won't put such "mutants" into the final release... personaly i like the editied US soldier but i cant see any difference between the russian soldiers. what do u think?

CrowmanUK 0 Posted May 29, 2005 Share Posted May 29, 2005 I think in the second shot he's posted the same pic twice, in the first one you can see the original with Marfy on the second shot and it does look much improved, less neck thats for sure. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
2nd Ranger 1 Posted May 29, 2005 Share Posted May 29, 2005 Well, he decreased the size of the guy's head in the second shot. The first one looks good, but to be honest I don't particularly care if the proportions are a little off, or if the helmet doesn't have a chinstrap. Quite frankly I'm surprised someone is making such complaints. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

JTF-2 0 Posted May 30, 2005 Share Posted May 30, 2005 Very nice. The difference on the US soldier is huge and, i think, makes a big difference. The Russian guys head/helmet is smaller, it help, but the changes aren't as critical as with the US soldier. Having good character models that are believable and well animated makes a huge difference for a game. If the characters are believable and lifelike, the game is more absorbing, the sensation of "just playing a game" is lost more easily and sustained for longer. 0.02 BIS: make these changes.
