The US Soldier models aren't released yet. The weapons are from DDok's bodygrouped weapon pack.

[Srgt. Shotup]

Overall, nice atmosphere!

I see now, sorry for my bad reading

The fog is clipping with the truck or whatever vehicle it is.

[Trek]

Wow, I feel so goddamn proud...

Anyway, pretty nice screenshot.

[ChestyMcGee]

well... title delivers

picture is okay i guess. the clipping fog is annoying as other people have mentioned.

composition is pretty vague. my eyes are dragged to the right because of the flow - all the characters are looking to the right. then i look into the background. there's not really much to focus on though. no one is doing anything interesting

as a side note, this skin seems really inaccurate if you were trying to do a realistic US Army texture. ACU isn't that desaturated. there's so little colour in your skin that the characters almost look pasted onto the environment - their clothes are essentially in greyscale

[Novangel]

Move 2 soldiers to the right a bit, rotate camera to focus that street in the right, and it woulda been perfect.
Still pretty good though.

Alright i edited it, how about now?

[ChestyMcGee]

In honesty.... no not really.

you've increased the saturation by the looks of things which is good - the camo doesn't look like it's in greyscale now. the colours aren't quite correct though.

your camo is made up of some very desaturated greys, so desaturated that the colour is almost non-existent. looking at the image with the saturation turned up, however:



shows it's made up entirely of green hues. as it's all in green, it appears very grey to the eye because there's no contrast in colour.

UCP, on the other hand, is made up of three different hues:




even when i haven't messed with the saturation, you can quite clearly pick out where some of the greys are based on yellow, some on blue and some on green

try and incorporate this contrast into your skin if you can

ACU talk

Okay, how about this?

I did the saturation thing and it looks almost the same.

[Taggart]

well for a start it's still far too dark

UCP is pretty light

also the boots should be tan not whatever that is supposed to be (foliage green?)

[ChestyMcGee]

yeh too dark and overly contrasted in value (not colour). the hue is a lot better now though, looks about right

Thats green because i accidently recoulered that too, i fixed that now.

Edited:

I think i got it now.

Oh Btw the helmet is not the right colour yet because i forgot to save it. :V
But i fixed it now.

[ChestyMcGee]

looks tonnes better now mate

Good, then this is the final product.

What about the boots? I mean, you gotta make sure you do the smaller details instead of just recolor the whole thing :V

Uhh what do you mean?

[itak365]

First of all, the helmet's this dark shade that doesn't make much sense, and the boots are olive green. If anything, like everyone's said above, UCP's shades of gray, tan and light olive green, not just gray's.

I'm assuming that the boots are on the same sheet as the uniform, correct? If that's the case, you can't just lolrecolor the whole thing, you'll have to give individual attention to coloring the boots tan. Same for the helmet. It's the same darkish color the entire uniform was earlier.

My point is: increasing or decreasing the saturation ain't enough. <.<

Uhh i did, the boots are tan on that pic. Ofcourse i know ACU is more than just fucking grey, i made a thousand ACU skins. This one just didn't turn out well.

The boots aren't tan in the last picture you posted.

Yes they are:

This is the original texture for the boots for the ranger models InfinityWard made and AlexVestin used for his stuff:

[gtanoofa]

This is tan.


Edited:

mw2 uses olive drab.

Why would InfinityWard make that unrealistic, oh wait its MW2.... :/

[Trek]

Well, are you using any reference pics, zupa?

Some parts need to be tan, just like the boots.

That's not tan.

Sorry for blaming you. This means that IW's to blame here for overdoing the whole "Gritty dirty" thing.
