GoofyStance Posted April 3, 2004 Share Posted April 3, 2004 Hi folks, I was putzing around with PhotoShop and an idea for a leafy camouflage pattern for the Jagdpanther. I haven't done any historical research, though I've seen pictures of StuG's and Mark IV's piled high with leafy branches. I don't know if anyone else has posted such a scheme, but I'd like your comments on what is still a work in progress. Thanks!

junk2drive Posted April 3, 2004 Share Posted April 3, 2004 check out some old cmbo mods with leaves/branches on them for ideas. imho your leaves are too bright. once pulled from the tree, how long would they stay fresh? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

i.i.koshkin Posted April 3, 2004 Share Posted April 3, 2004 Very nice. I don't think the leaves are too bright at all. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GJK Posted April 4, 2004 Share Posted April 4, 2004 Perhaps put some branches in there, poking out between some of the leaves? In real life, what's keeping the leaves in place? Just curious. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoofyStance Posted April 4, 2004 Author Share Posted April 4, 2004 Thanks for the compliments and comments, it all helps when I'm muttering over an unexpected and unwanted effect during my leafy camo modding This is my first attempt too, aside of an aborted attempt to create a shell penetration mod, so I'm learning as I go. I based the leaf colors on a picture taken of foliage in my backyard last summer, and surprisingly the colors are very similar to those of the CMAK deciduous trees. Regarding the coloration of dead leaves, I used the same picture, which shows a pile of cottonwood ranches I'd cut down some two weeks previously. The leaves were shriveled, but still retained their coloration (incidentally, they were brighter on the undersides than on the top sides, causing the mottled effect I'm trying to replicate in the screen shot I posted.) I'm currently working on more 3D shading - and also on creating a few branches to partly underlay the foliage. A work in progress ... Edit - By the way, I'm assuming the panzer crews used ropes slung across their AFV's to tie the branches in place. If I'm wrong, I hope a grog will set me straight.

MikeyD Posted April 5, 2004 Share Posted April 5, 2004 Here's a snap of a really-really old CMBO mod of mine from a million years ago. A little foliage included (stolen off the game's tree art). Seeing that old mod I'm all nostalic now http://www.combatmission.com/mods/Vehicles/pics/HtzSkodCamo.jpg 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoofyStance Posted April 6, 2004 Author Share Posted April 6, 2004 Mikey, Thanks for posting that link - your leafy camo is a nice mod. Gives me more of an idea on what to do with my own, though my hard drive crashed yesterday and I had to rebuild it from scratch. So my modding will be delayed a few days until I get everything loaded once again. By the way, was that Hetzer suffering an untimely end ...? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoofyStance Posted April 10, 2004 Author Share Posted April 10, 2004 Ok, now that my computer is back up and running, and I've got a better idea of what to do and not do with my leafy camo mod, how do these two Jagdpanther (early) mods look so far with summer and fall foliage, complete with branches poking out here and there? Any and all comments and suggestions are welcomed - thanks! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoofyStance Posted April 12, 2004 Author Share Posted April 12, 2004 [bump] No comments on this revised foliage scheme? I'm wondering if anyone would like to see this on one of the mods sites. If not, I'll just take my camo and go home 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pzman Posted April 12, 2004 Share Posted April 12, 2004 Those two look a lot better then the first one. I like the foliage scheme. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
