Piccolo Posted August 13, 2003 Share Posted August 13, 2003 Everything looks great, RS. My only thought as to adjustment on the M16/M4 series would be to edit the texture. If you notice, the photo of the left side of the reciever is off from the color of the rest of the body. The right side is alittle darker and has a blue tone, while the left is light and a grey-ish tone. Also, I would perhaps work on the camo for the M40A3 abit. The camo looks nice, however it lacks detail (Eg. Shadow, wrinkles, etc), thus not looking very real. All of this is JMHO, mind you. Really like that MP5 ya made.

2nd Ranger Posted August 13, 2003 Share Posted August 13, 2003 HOLY F......... oppss sorry got carried away! Thats some awesome modelling... looks almost photographic... I thought those first ones were photographs with which to compare the models. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReconSnake Posted August 13, 2003 Author Share Posted August 13, 2003 I take all my screenshots into photoshop and lighten them up, so any slight variations in tone are amplified by the adjustments. All the textures for the m4/m16/commando came directly off colt's pics and were darkened to the same degree. I don't brighten the screenshots to the same degree, I just use the slider until I am happy with the amount of detail shown, which is why some shots might appear lighter/darker than others. - I can't stand it when people post screenshots that are so dark you can't really make anything out.

Piccolo Posted August 13, 2003 Share Posted August 13, 2003 (edited) I understand that compleatly, however, the sides still don't match very well, because the photographs (I have them as well) are not identical in their setup and how they were taken. All of the shots from the left are mostly lighter, and, when you take the left reciever and mix it with the right side of the forearm,stock, etc, it makes a big contrast. It's no big deal, but the left reciever just doesn't match, IMO, as well to the other parts (Especially the pistol grip) as good as the right does.

ReconSnake Posted August 14, 2003 Author Share Posted August 14, 2003 You can't tell any difference in-game at all. Plus, the tones on the weapons are not the same IRL between the receiver, stock, grip, and handguards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cpl Ledanek Posted August 15, 2003 Share Posted August 15, 2003 maybe you're having the same problem as I am, monitor calibration. Please don't quote me, I take x-rays for a living, i see black n white 12 hrs a day...my eyes are messed up. So when I retouch something on Photoshop and upload it...most PC at work dont show up the same as mine at home... just my 2 cents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WEP_Magnum Posted August 23, 2003 Share Posted August 23, 2003 C'mon, c'mon, c'mon.... Weapon models look absolutely gorgeous. Can't wait to see the skins. Can you post a weapons list and likely loadouts? Keep up the great work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTF-2 Posted August 26, 2003 Share Posted August 26, 2003 keep up the good work RS, glad to see this mod is comming along. are any of the skins i had a butchers at going to be in the mod? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viper Posted August 26, 2003 Share Posted August 26, 2003 Why don't any of the M-4.M-16s have a RIS on the hand-guard? is Force Recon not using those yet? (You would think they would be .......... ) How many more weapons are you going to do? Are you going to redo the M-67 modle? (that would be sweet) CLARK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReconSnake Posted August 29, 2003 Author Share Posted August 29, 2003 Ok, 75% settled in & back on-line here in East Tennessee. @ Viper - the RIS bars are used and are coming. As far as the 67 goes, I hadn't planned on it, but I might do it for S&Gs. @JTF-2 : yes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whisper_44 Posted August 29, 2003 Share Posted August 29, 2003 Welcome Back RS... Been dreaming about the 1911 MEU(SOC) and await it's completion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viper Posted August 29, 2003 Share Posted August 29, 2003 Will the M-72 replace the M-136 or will it be an additional rocket launcher for anti-personell use (like for rifleman perhaps?) since the M-72 is just about worthless against modern takns and IFVs. can't wait for those RIS M-4s .... will the be M-4A1s or A2s (not much of a differance I know) CLARK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The M72 is effective against most of the same armor targets a M136 is (the m136 can penetrate an additional 100mm or so, but both fall short of knocking out a modern MBT). Multiple hits from an M72 are effective against medium armor (2 being a recommended number from acute angles.) In addition the M72 is far lighter, making it ideal for use in most covert AO's where MBT are rarely encountered but light armor/ technicals are very abundant. Having said all that, yes it will replace the M136 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sart Posted August 30, 2003 Share Posted August 30, 2003 Hey Recon my man, any chance of slapping a M203 on the bottem of that M16? Twould be sweet. Or did I miss it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
