Put together a quick loadout with the new paraclete pouches. Mostly working on the paraclete pouch set today..

New NYCO textures

NYCO textures are in, I think I like it...

MARSOC progress

I managed to get the helmet in game after some difficulties..

I'm going to try different NYCO textures by taking photos, the current one is a mess and doesn't look clean.

Back, full throttle.

Things are in overdrive now, I'm working hard to get some cool stuff out for Christmas.

• MARSOC units
• Paraclete RAV and all the pouches that go with it
• Pre-911 SOF 

High cut ACH with rails, PVS-15, Norotos mount, MS2000 and velcro. 

Paraclete pre MSA rav (woodland)

Paraclete pouches so far, all UV mapped so far.

Good progress

soon, I swear!

I am actually satisfied with this set of units, I have created a PBO and it is in the works.

Have a nice weekend!

2005 , 2001 , weekend work.

2005 Stuff, added more gear thanks to Johannes and DaSquade.

very wip but wanted to show it anyway. Thanks to stalkergb for kameez base.

2005 series update

Here's some units with the eagle CIRAS. There will also be rangers in the 2005 series, which will use the eagle plate carrier. photos to come soon..

Helmet will also be featured in tan soon. No fancy accessories yet , not my top priority.

Arma 3 - where we are going

As all of you probably know by now, official ArmA 3 information has been released. Being nearly halfway through 2011 , it is time to start giving some dates.

In August I plan to ready and probably release modules to the SOF addon pack. It will probably only consist of 2001-2002,2003-2004 and 2005-06 series. The packs will probably not be complete, at least the later series.

Earlier I do plan to release some more development builds. There will be a cutoff for that too though, as I may go on vacation or find public development builds no longer suitable. From there forth there will be private and group testing.

As of now I am discussing the news with team members and we will be deciding the private 'plans' so to speak.
For now I can assure that development will start for Arma 3 later this year or during 2012, and that after all modules have reached an acceptable development stage they will be released and Arma 2 work will be  ceased indefinitely. ArmA 3 will most likely allow me to go over some hurtles I had to run around in ArmA 2. There are limitations that hopefully will be relieved and much more detail will be seen.

I do plan to also expand upon the blog to include more of my ramblings and concept work related to my work.

I hope you all are excited as I am about the news!

Pre-alpha release!

I know you guys have been waiting at least 2 weeks for this one, so I hope it lives up to your expectations.
Changes include:
-improved DCU textures and normals
-improved DCU uniform model
-fixed some things, broke others..
-added more variants to trousers and coat (namely holster, very WIP)
-threw away LC-2 gear and gave 2001 army sf ELCS gear
-OTV texture improvements
- and probably more..

Here is the link. Please do not reupload anywhere for the time being, you can link all you want but this is a 'workstation' file, and the structure of the addon will change greatly. So to avoid compatibility issues in the future, keep this on the link I provided.

have fun :)

ELCS - nearly complete

Great progress.. All i must do is finish some texture details and make normal maps, and off it goes.. to you!

See you all Sunday!

moving forward..

moving forward in time.. Going to get around to crye combat pants & shirt sooner or later. I hope I can get something out for you guys tonight or so.  This unit wont be in it though since the vest isn't near completion.

Windows 7 reinstalled

I have recently reinstalled windows 7, as the hard drive I previously used is starting to show signs of serious wear. It's nearly 10 years old and i thought it would be smart to not risk it and buy a new hard drive. I obviously have to reinstall windows. Nothing is lost except I have to reinstall all my programs, not a big deal in exchange for the speed a new windows install gives.

So yes, there will be a delay, I should be back and running by Wednesday. I will have a beta very soon as before I ran into trouble on Friday, I was getting everything together for the next version. There are some big changes to the DCU, and soon the BDU. Once this is out the next will be Crye pants (uh, the one with the integrated kneepads) and top, with the RAV in smoke green or coyote. It will come in DCU and in Multicam. The ACU cut is also underway since I feel the current model is not good enough, so stay tuned for that as well.

Dr Midnight, and Whiskey, are both assisting me in my efforts, so perhaps they will have some content to post before I do. From them you will see OTV accessories , com gear more.

Again, please be patient, the time will come eventually. If you wish to help out with config loadouts, please drop a comment and I will find a way to contact you. Serious inquiries only, make sure you have a decent idea of what to give a SOF operator.

Recent progress

I am sorry for the delay, a lot of background work is being done, specifically on the pants (done) , addition of the RBA to library (for other project)  and soon the coat (new normal maps, more accurate)

                                                                 and as promised:

cheers

Recent progress

It's been a while, sorry guys. Slow progress

cheers

1st SFOD-D units, 2004 / 05 (?). Going to add ir strobes , goggles (or glasses, depending on role.. ), accessories, paint, etc later for the helmet.  . Need to do a new dump pouch and all sorts of stuff, probably will have it tomorrow for an update.

Today's work

really more of an accumulation of work but here it is. Going to add a bare ach helmet or a 2001 and throw it in..

Oh yes, I recently came up with a list of units that could be included - 

2001 - rangers, army sf

2003 - rangers, army sf, seals, marine FR (maybe)

2006 -  rangers, army sf, FR

2011 - rangers (MC), army sf (AOR)

and most likely appearing in that order on the blogs. I am currently moving into 2003 ..
