ErikinWest Posted January 26, 2005 Share Posted January 26, 2005 Wow I really like modding my own skins. So far I have done the following: German Trench Coat guy Japanese Naval Officer Japanese Engineer and Russian Black Sea officer. A few things I have noticed is try not to add to many wrinkles or black spots. Nice smooth creamy colours turn out well. But I am finding it hard to find Japanese (or any faction) uniforms/squad pictures to base my clothing off of. So I was wondering if there was a website that the skin modders use to get ideas for there clothing. P.S. I have heard of something called the X2? engine or something like that. Because it would be really cool if I could mod the shape of the helmets. There pre-set sizes are ruining my style Cheers, Erik 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewTF Posted January 26, 2005 Share Posted January 26, 2005 Just do an exhaustive search of any related terms you can think of. Are you using pictures of uniforms to create the mods or are you using them only as photo references? I started off using photos gleaned from the Internet to create mod BMPs and ended up making everything from scratch because in the end it was easier . This site's got excellent, straight-on photos of Japanese uniforms that you might find useful: http://www.germanmilitaria.com/Japanese/01Japanese2.html 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope CMX2 will either allow you to, in effect, change heads or allow you to shape helmets/hats. I think Aussies in digger hats, Indians in turbans, Squad leaders in soft caps, Brit Para's in berets, etc. etc. would be great.

ErikinWest Posted January 26, 2005 Author Share Posted January 26, 2005 For reply 1, I use a bit of both. Like I might cut out a fold in the uniform or a pocket. But I mainly create my own and just add textures appropriate to the guy i'm modding. Cheers, Erik 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David I Posted January 26, 2005 Share Posted January 26, 2005 While I'm having CMX2 dreams - I would like to see a winter figure in an overcoat. For all the neat winterized uniform mods out there, the most universal winter wear in all armies was the long overcoat. DavidI 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ErikinWest Posted January 26, 2005 Author Share Posted January 26, 2005 Um also, does anyone know a good site to get textures for your uniforms. Since After I draw it, getting textures in is very difficult. Cheers, Erik 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
