hello i am Lt Apollo a skinner for CoH , i was wondering if you would be interested using my new modern US army skin as a place holder till you get actual infantry models in place.

it is based of the current US Armed forces Soldier Wearing the new ACU. and using the UCP pattern camouflage at normal tactical level it looks almost exactly like the Solder. the skin uses the Para trooper model, witch i think fits better with the modern look than the rifle man/ ranger.

my only regret is that i had to put the straps on the chest to counter the back pack witch is a bit to dark.


OK now for my suggestion, i think you should only add the Us ARMY
don't mix the navy/marines. there to many differences in combat doctrines for them to work side by side as a joint army.

i think you should include the Navy/Marines in a expansion along with Russia (only saying Russia because of the conflict with Georgia a US ally)
the marines should not be that much better than the army solders stat wise but will be much more versatile and focus on exploratory assault and have a more effective squad AI. smaller squads though and a nice series of support tanks such as the new amphibious assault tank and the Bradly IFV with TOW launcher for at capability's

only reason i say this is because the Marine doctrine is focused on these things and general are a much more effective fighting force with a much better kill/loss ratio than the US army who's doctrine is focused on overwhelming the enemy though shier firepower and numbers (yes i am serious it is there based doctrine will get a link stating this if you want)

this just the basis of my sugestion i have more to say but i will do it later.

i still need to add the Army Patches and flag to the skin but hear is the current build.

can I have the skin : )
i like

in good time, but this right now is an exclusive to the Modern combat Team.

alright

i've been looking everywhere for it and your the only person whos made the ACU skin aha

thats because i just made it lol.
if you want a copy i will email you one , just post your email up.

note this is a rough version so it doesn't have the US army patches and detail yet, that i am doing right now.

hear is my Beta US Navy work Uniform. model is Luftwaffe.
its is actively in use by the Modern US Navy but is not an active combat uniform. o ya i got 1 bug, when i tried to make the black solder as shown in pick it didn't work out very well, ya his eyes are kinda demonic and it looks like he has a super sun burn of death(it scares me)

the Hispanic one though worked out very well.

i see the navy work man as a possible builder unit for the marines maby?

suggestion 2.

i think if you are doing modern warfare you should add NATO, it would be a good way of bring Europe into the war. and technically NATO would be involved in the war you are suggesting, as if one NATO nation is threatened the rest will automatically step up to defend her.

imagine German leopard IIs and french infantry fighting alongside each other in a battle for Easter Europe.

NATO would have a HUGE variety of troops, and game play that focus on combined arms and joint operations.

thank you :)

Hey. TBH i like your skins. ... i am not responsible for the modeling part of our mod, so i can't give you definite answers in regards to these soldier skins. But we are in need of good skinners to skin some of our models, since not all of our modelers have good skinning skills in too ... So what about an application as a skinner in order to help the mod team getting all models skinned ?

i need a base for my work, but i can do camo overlays for existing textures. detail is very hard though i haft to use an overlay of the orignal skin to match up where i want the badges or straps, this is all because my tools only let me apply textures in boxes and i overight all the detail applying the textures. the result is great but the process is very messy. so i cant do any thing from scratch i need at least a basic outline of a skin.

but you get me that i can easily add any camo you ant in any shade,color, or design. its all editable with the tool i am using.

i can also to preserve detail by making the camo see through, its a very cool effect and it works great on metal objects such as tanks or cars.


i would apply for skinner of this mod but i have to think about my own mod Terra Nova. i still need to Finnish up some concept art and get my modeler to edit CoH infantry to look like the UTN/UN Marines.
and that's just for the blowout i plan for next month.
hears a sample pic of the marine concept.

hay ya i would like to officially apply for a part time role as skinner for this mod. a lot of things have lightened up and i know have much more time to work.

o ya hears my US Marine skin brand new fresh, took me 5 hours to!
its still a beta though and i am not quit happy with the color, but it is my finest detailed work yet!


he uses modern MARPAT woodland camo, though it is not seen very often due to the war in the middle east- Desert MARPAT mainly being used, it is the official marine camo for most envorments.


its a bit bright due to the fact I HAD to make it brighter, THE CAMO ACTUALY WORKED!!!!!! and i couldn't see my guys very well at normal tactical level lol. fixed it now but still needs 1 last in game trail.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Edit

well finnal ver is done and it is sweet, i darkend the skin a bit overall to give it a more gritty feal and it worked farly well.

hears ingame shots

just finished a new Iraq Version of the Marine.

he uses the latest in MARPAT desert camo and is wearing a Out Tactical Vest.

yes i like marines lol there very fun to skin for and there the best infantry men in the US armed service (Not counting spec ops groups )
hear another pic.


This is my highest detail skin yet, man was it hard to creat a tatical vest with nothing more than my basic skinning tools.
