Erwin Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 Thanks Aris... BTW: I compared the old mod graphics .bmp's with this new one and it was hard to tell any difference. What did you change? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fizou Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 I have had a look and compared version 1 and 2 of several of Aris latest releases (not the M8 HMC yet though). To me they look even more realistic, the weathering and slightly darker colors. Aris just keeps getting better and better. Its a treat having these mods in game 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuser Posted November 18, 2013 Author Share Posted November 18, 2013 Thanks Aris... BTW: I compared the old mod graphics .bmp's with this new one and it was hard to tell any difference. What did you change? Slight differences actually, but most importantly they look better more realistic ingame due to some refined weathering, specially in turret, where weathering was added too randomly en Version 1. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuser Posted November 18, 2013 Author Share Posted November 18, 2013 And this is how a SdKfz251 17 & 21 look like minutes after Aris explodes the BMPs (I can hear them screaming, yelling in pain and desperation,..."Why me? Am I not beautiful, pristine, clean and amazing as I am?"-- "Yes, you are" many would say ). Difficult textures to add weathering to. I revisited my older mods for the SPWs but I then decided to use completely new textures for these ones,..as it used to happen to me, I applied weathering without too much logic or realism back in the ol` times,... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fuser Posted November 19, 2013 Author Share Posted November 19, 2013 Adding decals, modifying weathering, base texture contrast and sharpening,...these vehicles don't benefit from the ingame lightning system at all. Square or plain surfaces get oversaturated (specially if the shaders are off), and they look like solar panels,... Anyway,... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eniced73 Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 Not that anyone needs wowed anymore. That is a given. But if you posted a pic of the original side by side with yours, I think the wow factor would be out the roof!! And also because I would like to see it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kensal Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 Fuser I was downloading your V2 Stugs (which are wonderful as usual) from cmmods but noticed this inside the 'box'. Should the Stuh on the 3 hulls should be Stug? I just wanted to check 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zane Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 Question guys? I downloaded the SDKFZ 251 21 CMMG textures and decal's and installed them in my Ver 2.10 and 2.11 Z folder's. Is there any German MG dealership scenarios that show the this vehicle? Lane 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fuser Posted November 22, 2013 Author Share Posted November 22, 2013 PM read and answered... Uploading SdKfz 251 17 as I write...Go check it. Enjoy. P.S: I have been thinking about redoing my older SPW 251s using the SdKfz 251 21 and 17 weathering base. Do you like these latest mods better than the old SPWs, would you like to have them "updated"?? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Canadian Cat Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 Excellent. I quite like the older SQW mods you have done just fine. My request would be that you spend you time on something that has not yet had your incredible touch. On the other hand you should do what will make you happy - still my selfish reasoning here because I want you to stay happy modding CM 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oddball_E8 Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 Personally I am fine with the old ones. Do what you feel would please you most tho 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Panzer Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 Fuser: I think you are getting some great effects with the richer tones and more deliberate application of the wear/weathering textures in your most recent efforts - even the welds between armor plates seem more pronounced. As accomplished as your earlier work remains, the newer techniques produce a more subtle, intentional and realistic looking model. That said, I would echo Ian’s preference that you touch on as many different models before spending time revisiting prior work. In the end though, I clearly love your aesthetic and want you to creatively go wherever your passion and inspiration leads you. This should be fun for you too! Loose notes… Thank you for the US small arms mod. I lifted your Fortress Italy version for the Germans and applied it to the Normandy game long ago. Great work - you and Rambler could make one hell of a collaborative effort in this area. BFC reworked the model for the Sherman III in v2.11, which appears to have reassigned some of the textures and negated your previous mod. That’s progress, I suppose. Keep up the exceptional work - I really dig the latest SPW’s. I swear the Germans were bolting auto cannons on anything that would move towards the end. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
