What camouflage scheme to choose...

[andrewmarley]

Here is my russian soldier. What camo scheme fits better?

 

[Ares de Borg]

1 or 3.

 

[Gary Childress]

I like version 3 best although the real test is to shrink it down to civ scale and see what it looks like then.

BTW welcome to Civ III unit making! Very nice looking models!

 

[andrewmarley]

Thanks, Gary! I've almost completed a couple of American and Russian units for my scenario. I only have to fix some small issues and they will be done, and as you see - I'm using one of your helmets (but a little reskinned). By the way, I've purchased Modern Desert Soldier for M3, and now I need Military Mike pack... Do you have it? Is it useful?

I don't have the Military Mike pack. If you get it let me know what you think of it.

 

[ShiroKobbure]

Can we see them at civ scale?

So there is another thing I have to say - XDresser doesn't correcly work on my computer
and I don't know why. That's why could you send me your vest from desert soldier converted to M4?

Can we see them at civ scale?

Yes, but a bit later

 

[Wolfshade]

3. It beats all others.

 

[andrewmarley]

Знаешь, Wolfshade, а в России в этом же голосовании почти все почему-то выбирают окраску Тигр...

(Russian:
You know, Wolfshade, in Russia almost everybody choose a Tiger scheme in the same poll... )

 

[Goldflash]

I'm not sure the camo will mater much at civ scale, to be honest. That said, I'm going to jump on the bandwagon here and say 3.

 

[Wolfshade]

Эндрю, я тебе так скажу - тигровая более красивая, более детализированная. Я же выбирал исходя из контекста Цивы - все эти мелкие детали на сравнительно небольшом юните потеряются. Именно поэтому я выбрал вариант №3 - он более подходит именно для такого масштаба. Будь это стрелялка а-ля "ГТА"/"Ксенус"/"Сплинтер Селл" - я бы посомневался.

(EN translation)
Andrew, I will say you a thing - tiger camo is more beautiful, it looks more detailed. And I made a choice according to the Civ-base - all the precise details will be lost on a small unit. That's why I chose a #3 - it fits very well a Civ unit scale. If it would be a shooter like "GTA"/"Xenus"/"Splinter Cell" - I would hesitate.

 

[Ares de Borg]

Diese ganzen Untertitel machen mich noch ganz kirre... kann man die abstellen?

(Translation: These subtitles keep confusing me... can we just deactivate them?)

And stay with English?

 

[Wolfshade]

Ares, don't be confused, please. Let's continue in EN.
Or... I can teach you some RU words, so you can join the RU company even IRL. ))

 

[andrewmarley]

Yeah, Ares, Russian language will be useful for everybody in the world in the near future

 

[Mithadan]

Choose whichever Flora pattern looks the most clear at civ scale.

Tiger-Stripe/Lizard is a cool pattern, but is not the "iconic" Russian camo pattern.

 

[Bengal Tiger]

I chhose 3, just because it looks cooler than the first 2, digital looks somewhat like a grey tracksuit(no offense) and the tiger seems a little unrealistic. Great unit, by the way!

 

[andrewmarley]

Guys, any other variants of russian camo patterns?

 

[ShiroKobbure]

I think you should post previews of them at civ scale that's a better was to judge how something will look, I think post players rarely look at the PCX while playing.

 

[andrewmarley]

I'll post preview when it will be done. Now I'm trying to find out what exactly camo pattern used in VDV. Does antbody know something?
