Argyll Posted July 23, 2003 Author Share Posted July 23, 2003 Black is not a good colour to show in games as it fails to show up detailing,and it's the attention to detailing,that keeps modders on their toes! I tend to use a blueish/grey that way it still stands out,and doesn't look false,have yoe ever looked at something thats black ,the light picks up highlights and shadows,and if you have something thats all black then you have a somewhat 2D effect,with the Grey/Blues you can add shadows highlights etc ,therfore creating the 3D appearance!! One of the reasons why I didn't really need help is that I have everyhting I needed to create the mod already,apart from the Non US weapons,in 90% of the pics of the GROM I have and have seen,the M4 seems to be the standard choice,and given their close ties to Western SOF it makes sense to do so!,that is why I was not considering any other weapons other than the M4's,and maybe the odd MP5,I have G36's made.M4's made,and also some MP5's ! Don't worry about me being upset,I wasn't,I took it tongue in cheek and my response was a bit of Satire! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chems Posted July 23, 2003 Share Posted July 23, 2003 I think what Ck is trying to say is that he is a lone wolf and likes working on his own stuff. That way hes not depented on anyone. So I dont think hes gonna let you help. Nothing to stop you maiing your own GROM type mod! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lancer Posted July 23, 2003 Share Posted July 23, 2003 Aryll, you have probably seen this one mate but just in case have a looky see here http://grom.wp.fm.interia.pl/english.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Argyll Posted July 23, 2003 Author Share Posted July 23, 2003 Its nice to know that there are quite a few Poles on this forum,I hope I can do justice with the GROM skins! Lancer,I can't get connected,but I have a feeling it's because it has exceeded its bandwidth!! Yeah, Shot I mean no disrespect to you but as I already said,I have 80% of the stuff that I am going to include already done on my H/d!!Definately pursue your own one!

Matt03 Posted July 23, 2003 Share Posted July 23, 2003 This mod looks great but I have a little question. I loved SOF but the problem I had with it was every person had the same face. Will that be the case with this mod or will there be a different face for each person? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chems Posted July 23, 2003 Share Posted July 23, 2003 Actually CK, shot has a point, the pic you posted, his face mask shows only his eyes on your CHR but on the real one most of his face is visible. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShoT Posted July 23, 2003 Share Posted July 23, 2003 That's for a reason, the reason why that mask is like that is so you get max visibility on the goggles which are not on his model... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Argyll Posted July 23, 2003 Author Share Posted July 23, 2003 Well Matt it was a choice of editing 200 atr files or having the same face...........tough choice!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Argyll Posted July 23, 2003 Author Share Posted July 23, 2003 Thats not true Shot,the reason for the mask is for several reasons 1.Hide Identity 2.Strike fear into the enemy 3.Acts as an anti flash hood in the use of flash bangs I can show you dozens of pics of operators not wearing goggles but masks instead!!

ShoT Posted July 23, 2003 Share Posted July 23, 2003 (edited) No no no you missed the point, I wasnt criticizing your model, I was just telling chem that the mask is like that to provide max visibility and a good fit for the goggles. The reason that's in italics is because your model is not wearing any, thats why the mask is like it is.

Marcinko Posted July 23, 2003 Share Posted July 23, 2003 Shot, i owe him big, so if any one helps, i got dibs on it first Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShoT Posted July 23, 2003 Share Posted July 23, 2003 (edited) ...my skins are from a Polish cammo swatch... What the hell is that? BUT IM THE POLISH ONE!!! Edited July 23, 2003 by ShoT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Argyll Posted July 23, 2003 Author Share Posted July 23, 2003 Sorry Shot! A swatch is a small piece or cutting or part of a larger garment!! There was a great Japanese site that had at least 100 of these small swatches(which could be laid over ,and the pattern was consistent always) ranging from Europe to South America to Asia,but I cannot locate it any more,he's either deleted his site or is no longer with that server! That is where I got 75% of my cammos from! The Polish Desert is just carefull colour changes on the original cammo!! Wrt to the mask chr,this is from a stck fig,I can easily make the view in the real pic! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Argyll Posted July 23, 2003 Author Share Posted July 23, 2003 (edited) Does this one satisfy you Suicide?...........just for you mate!! Edited July 23, 2003 by Argyll Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suicide Commando Posted July 23, 2003 Share Posted July 23, 2003 Argyll, here's the skin Thom did for his GROM operator in Sabre Teams. I'd absolutely love to see a desert version, if you and Mr. Bravo wouldn't mind. I just love the tactical vest on the skin. And I love the boonie hat/balaclava operator. It looks perfect. Cannot wait to play this mod. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suicide Commando Posted July 23, 2003 Share Posted July 23, 2003 (edited) Yeah, that looks great. I like the pro-tech syle helmet better but at this point I don't really care. Looks brilliant. Thanks a million sir. -edit- Now that that's out of the way how about doing a ghillie sniper ala the pics in the thread at military photos? We have yet to see such a skin by ya.

Chems Posted July 23, 2003 Share Posted July 23, 2003 Shot, my post was a joke. CHRs looking good CK! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Argyll Posted July 23, 2003 Author Share Posted July 23, 2003 Ok SC here's the deal,I can basically make the same sort of CHR as Thom,I have his mastercopy,but it was tagged differently,But I have made you one almost the same,the vest will be different as Thom used I believe one of the German bodys as a base,and as I wanted to create my own stuff I'll do what I can for you..................watch this space!! I have never tried snipers,I don't like them,but never say never!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShoT Posted July 23, 2003 Share Posted July 23, 2003 Hey CK, after looking at the list of weapons, I decided to model the Beryl Rifle, would you accept it as a contribution? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suicide Commando Posted July 23, 2003 Share Posted July 23, 2003 (edited) There's no need now Argyll. Those pics you posted above my post look great. Like I said I prefer the pro-tech but the standard helmet looks fine too. I like the goggle strap you've got on it. And as for the sniper I'd love to see some ghillie material hanging over the face just like the pics at militaryphotos. -edit- pics ain't showin up now.

Argyll Posted July 23, 2003 Author Share Posted July 23, 2003 Shot of course I would! , SC will these do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suicide Commando Posted July 23, 2003 Share Posted July 23, 2003 SC will these do? Yes, yes they will. They second is great. I'd love to see the KBK or KBS Shot, hope you do a good job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisCool Posted July 23, 2003 Share Posted July 23, 2003 @Argyll: Has the Op Iraqi Freedom mod of yours been put on the backburner or are you continuing work on that project as well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShoT Posted July 23, 2003 Share Posted July 23, 2003 (edited) @ SC Dude, those rifles are the best. I shot the KBKS (samething except training) from 100 meters I hit a target 2 inches from the center. The entire target was a square somewhere around 6x6", and that training rifle isn't scoped... but it was an indoor shooting range, no wind, etc. @ CK Yeah dude that thing rocks, very nice.
